TheBEASTunchained Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 What ride/rides at Kings Island will you wait in line 2 hours for? and What rides will you NOT wait in line 2 hours for? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 2 Hours...probably just The Beast @ Night, heck, I'd wait 3+ for that one. Other than that, if it was really really crowded...Flight of Fear (indoors mostly with a fun pre-show) and Diamondback (line moves fast, so at least we'd be moving for most of the 2 hours)...and those 2 are stretching it, if there were other rides in the park with shorter waits, I'd skip them for the other ones. Besides those, however, there really isn't anything else at Kings Island I'd wait that long for...thankfully, you don't really see many 2+ hour waits for rides other than Firehawk at Kings Island unless it is really, really crowded anymore (I try to avoid those days too). If the park were that crowded, you would see me heading for the more high-capacity rides and attractions as well as the less popular ones (Adventure Express, Racer, Vortex, Flat Rides)...and throw in a Beast ride or two, I'll wait for that one.

Titan Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Well I've pretty much ridden everything (excluding some rides in Planet Snoopy). So I wouldn't wait 2 hours for a ride unless it's a night ride on The Beast or the ride was going to be removed. I still can't believe I waited an hour for Delirium....

spitfire Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I don't think I'd wait for any ride I've already been on for 2+ hours...if it were a new ride I hadn't been on, then maybe. The Beast in the dark is pretty amazing, but I still don't think I'd wait more than an hour for it, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Flight of Fear - I've waited an hour and a half this year, I doubt another 30 minutes would be a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Flight of Fear, The Beast, Diamondback, Vortex, Flight Deck, and.... Adventure Express! Those I would wait 2, maybe even 3 hours. I would never wait more than 1 hour for Firehawk in the summer. Never. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudecoasterman Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Diamondback (at night only), The Beast, Firehawk (if I get to ride in the front and it's not hot outside), Invertigo, Intimidator 305, Magnum XL-200, Mean Streak, Raptor, Millennium Force, Volcano:The Blast Coaster, Dominator, Mantis, and probably Wicked Twister.

BB1 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Beast at night, with no one on. The waterslides at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I would not wait two hours to ride any ride, no matter how great it is. However, I did wait 2 hours back in 81 to ride The Bat, but only because it kept breaking down and I had never rode it. Do you remember the paw prints that began around RiverTown Pizza that lead up to The Beast in the 90's? But why spend a good chunk of your day at Kings Island waiting in line for a handful of rides With a season pass, I would have the entire season to ride the rides and they will still be there when the crowds are thinner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I wouldn't go out of my way to wait two hours for any coaster on a whim, but I'll do it if there's a reason to do so. Very recently, I waited something like two to three hours for Flight of Fear while a strong storm blew through, prompting all the rides to close. A full queue diminished to ten people, making our group the front of the line. (Where else were we going to go? It's not like there was anything else to do in the park, save for maybe the shows.)

BeastForever Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Probably the only rides at Kings Island I would wait 2 hours for would be The Beast, Diamondback, and maybe Flight of Fear. Although Diamondback's line would have to be pretty far out the door for the wait to be 2 hours considering how quick the lines move on that ride.

jbt Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Flight of Fear, The Beast, Diamondback, Vortex, Flight Deck, and.... Adventure Express! Those I would wait 2, maybe even 3 hours. Has the Adventure Express line ever been two hours? Even on busy days, I've never waited more than 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Flight of Fear, The Beast, Diamondback, Vortex, Flight Deck, and.... Adventure Express! Those I would wait 2, maybe even 3 hours. Has the Adventure Express line ever been two hours? Even on busy days, I've never waited more than 30 minutes. I don't have access to any data that would prove otherwise, but in my many years of riding Adventure Express, the longest I've ever waited was 35 minutes (BAFF day '04; the line was almost to the ladder game). Therefore, I don't believe AE's line has ever been 2 hours. PS - Cap'n Planet. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I can *somewhat* remember waiting for 4+ hours for Beast in 1979. I did the same for MF in 2000 on opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Actually, I have seen AE's line for an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 DB,FoF, FH, Beast, Invertigo, Flight Deck and SoB(if it was still open) . P.S has Flight Decks or Top Guns line ever been 2 hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Actually yes. I have seen it. I bet when it opened it had a 4 hour wait! (Just guessing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocolts Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'll only wait 2 hours for a ride if it's my first time, the ride just opened today, or if it just reopened (Say is SOB were to reopen, though it will not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastrider97 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The good thing about living near an amusement park, and having a pass, is the fact that if the waits are 2+ hours you can just leave and know that you can come back another time. The only ride I will wait for 2+ hours at the park is Beast at night, or a ride on its opening day. Now if we stretch the 2+ hour wait time to other parks in the world that I may only visit once, the wait doesn't matter as much to me.

TheCrypt Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm not saying that Adventure Express has reached a point where its line is over 2 hours, but I am just stating that if for some reason it were to reach that point, I'd wait for it.

westcoaster Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The Beast at night, and any new ride opening at KI. Not much else I would wait for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The only times I've ever waited more than two hours for anything were all rain delays where I was in line when the ride was shut down and elected to wait it out in the shelter of the station. 2 hours, 30 minutes on The Racer (though that was during Coasting for Kids, so probably doesn't count), 2:15 on Diamondback, and 2:00 flat on TTD, all in 2011. That's also the only way I would wait two hours for anything aside from the opening of a new ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightoffear1996 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Nothing at Kings Island. Not even FOF? Nope. I waited 5 hours for it though once back in the day. My all time fav. ride right now Viper at Six Flags Great America I might wait two hours for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
