I was told it's a problem with the thingamajig.

If you aren't already at the park, don't waste your time today

You mean the other rides' lines are short?

No, not true in the slightest.

Oh yes, it sure does!

I wonder if the line will wrap around and make it's way back through the direct route for Banshee..

Also, if anyone can post a pic from the tower from their phone, that'd be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, it'll be interesting to see the line in person when I'm there!

I'll see about uploading my photos somewhere...

Current Banshee line behind Delirium and Slingshot. This is after waiting a couple hours...

Do you have any idea how long the lines for other rides are?

I may be mistaken buy it looks like The Racer line stretches past the basketball game.

At 1, Diamondback and Beast were both over an hour. Beast, depending on switchbacks, could be over two.

Racer, Vortex, Invertigo, and BLSC were all a half hour or so.

Are there any rides that aren't open? I know Banshee is/was having problems.

Banshee is moving better now. It hasn't had problems in about 35 min. Trains are not stacking as much either.

Banshee has been running fine since around 12:30 or 1. To my knowledge, the only rides not open now are Drop Tower and Train.

I am suddenly very glad I decided not to make the trip today. High of 70, clear day, and a highly anticipated new ride opening up; sounds like a recipe for disaster. Yesterday, however, was the best day I've ever had at Kings Island.

Just a quick question, what would the estimated wait for Banshee be at 11:30 this Sunday?

Waiting to get in at 10am.

Queue line was beginning to fill.

Overview of the ride and you can see the mass of people that is the line.

People trying to come in at 1pm.

People trying to get through the parking tolls.

This was the crowd as I was leaving at 1:15

Which part of the ride takes your picture?

Right before the loop that goes around the lift hill.

At 11:30 this Sunday? You'd be the first one in line. Park hours for this Sunday are noon to 7:00. And given that that is Easter Sunday, I would expect the park to be dead with people celebrating the holiday.

And I...don't. I suspect the park will be at least moderately busy. There's this new big blue thing...

May I remind you Friday was a work day, Good Friday, and many schools were in session, yet...

Work and school can be skipped*, and Good Friday is not nearly as widely observed as Easter Sunday.

I think at worst, it will be the same as a typical June weekday.

*Not without consequences, of course, but some things are just more important.

Some of the staff will also not be available to work Easter......

My nephew and I got in line for Banshee at 6:30 and we were sitting in the front row at 8:43. We then went to DB and the line looked so small compared to Banshee we decided to ride it, it was an hour wait. We noticed Banshee is twice the people eater! I think were going to just take the kids to the Columbus Zoo tomorrow, Kings Island was beyond packed and I would bet today will be beyond insane!

If Saturday is like Friday, I would think the crowds will be crazy. Sunday I think will be busy, but possibly not like Friday.

I have to give the Banshee ops credit. Once they got their rhythm down it ran smoothly and quickly.

Yesterday, I saw some kid flying through the air and landing in a bush during the rush to get to Banshee first!

I went to the park Saturday and we only waited 25 minutes for Banshee.

There were a few things to note:

-no more jackhammering on Diamondback yay. I sat in the very back and it was extremely smooth

-Banshee has a small trim right before the drop into the valley

-Starlight Spectacular is gone

-Did they replace the lights in the royal fountains? The lights were very vibrant.
