You may already know by now that I like to start out my PTRs with the first pictures at the park, but this one is starting out a little differently - I decided to take some pics of the fall colors along the way...

...before arriving at the park:

It was about 4:00 p.m. by the time we walked through the gates of Kings Island for the last time this season. Like last year, I decided to head left, into Action Zone. Next year, I'm going to the right!

We headed to Delirium first. Its line was the shortest I had seen in a while! The wait was less than a cycle-length.

I was assigned to Seat 28. What a fun ride to start a Closing Day trip! I always like saying that I love the feeling you get when you're just floating!!! How amazing.

Next was the blue Vekoma inverted boomerang, Invertigo.

Invertigo's line was only a station wait! I got in line for the end seat on the end of the train that faced the parking lot after waiting 2 cycles. Fun and intense ride, as I always like it! During the ride, my hands were either on my lap or out to the side. I apparently am developing a habit of doing that, and as far as I'm concerned there is nothing wrong with that. :P

I then headed to Flight Deck, since riding it was the main priority I had started the trip in Action Zone. After this season it would be transformed into The Bat, I would later learn.

I headed back one last time to ride it while it was still Flight Deck.

My first three FD rides of the day were on Train #2. After a single ride in 7-1, I got back in line and was able to do a double ride in 5-1 and 6-1.

The two rides after that were a double ride on Train #1 - I rode in 1-2 and 7-2. Meanwhile, I figured out that my fifth and final FD ride this day was actually my 45th ride ever on Flight Deck!

After these five amazing flights I headed up to Oktoberfest, hoping I would be able to marathon Adventure Express since I didn't get to yet this season.
