electricsun Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Anyone at the park want to share an update on wait times? Still debating... 1 Quote
electricsun Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Made it here later than planned. In an hour, I rode Drop Tower, The Bat and Banshee. Banshee was a 20ish minute wait and Drop Tower was a one drop wait. Delirium looked to be a 2 cycle wait. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 In the random discussion thread in off topic, it is said the park is jam-packed and that Mr. Don Helbig is collecting parking tolls. 4 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 So what tipped off all the people that if they go to Kings Island today, they will have a chance to meet Don Helbig? 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 ...only if they are in the select lane! 2 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Wow.... Banshee operations are about as slow this morning as I've ever witnesses before.... Ouch. 1 Quote
ohioparksrock Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Much more crowded than yesterday. Waited 20 for Beast and The Bat is about 45 minutes! 2 Quote
mandyw103 Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I am actually surprised the park is even a little crowded....guess I thought with schools starting it would be dead...silly me! Going to take the kiddos tomorrow and hoping for a low crowd I'll report back here lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
ohioparksrock Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 It's weird. Monday was completely dead. We walked on most everything but Firehawk and Flight of Fear. Yesterday, even Racer had a 10 minute wait. 2 Quote
malem Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 There was inclement weather in the area on Monday. At KI, this tends to be a huge factor in attendance. 3 Quote
ohioparksrock Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 That didn't hit till about 6. It was beautiful aside from a 2pm, 6 minute rain. 1 Quote
malem Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Forecast weather affects attendance whether it actually hits the park or not. Days with scattered storms can be great days to visit. 6 Quote
ohiocolts Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Lots of schools around Kings Island don't go back until next week, so I'd expect late next week to be very light crowds. 3 Quote
WindingSon Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Most of the Cincinnati area schools go back the day Kings Island stops daily operation. 2 Quote
BeeastFarmer Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I've ridden Diamondstack twice today each with about a 10 minute wait. I've waited longer for my food at Taco Shack than any ride here today. ..but that's nothing unusual. Food is bland and the guy tried to sell me a souvenir cup....as I'm filling mine up! And when I asked the cashier if they had any trays: "I don't think we do those anymore or they all dirty." Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk 4 Quote
KIDB Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 We are planning a trip for tomorrow. Probably half dry side/half wet side. What kind of crowd do you think I can anticipate? Last time we went to Soak City it was a complete nightmare with a half hour wait for the dang bathrooms and over an hour for each slide. Definitely don't want to get in a situation like that again.

Gabe Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 If last Friday is an indication (when I last went), lines were less than a 2-3 cycle wait from park open through about early-mid afternoon (Racer had only one side open, so it took about 15 mins). Get there for early rides, knock out a bunch of rides then head over to Soak City as the rest of the late afternoon-evening crowds congregate. 5 Quote
Tuskin Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 How are the lines today? Debating going for 3 hours after work. 1 Quote
mandyw103 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I was there today from about 9-2, mostly in Planet Snoopy and Soak City. Lines were pretty short at both and crowds weren't bad at all. I definitely think that a lot of local school going back this week helped the crowds! Longest I waited was for food! Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 And how long did you wait for food where? Terp, who likes to ask questions. 1 Quote
mandyw103 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Haha...it's ok I like to know details too I waited at the main food place in Soak City...the name escapes me. But there were 3 people in line and I waited like 15 minutes lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
VortexBFForever Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I waited at the main food place in Soak City...the name escapes me. Was it Coconut Cove Cafe? Or was it a different one? During the few times I've been to Soak City it looks like the "main" eatery. I could be wrong, though. 2 Quote
mandyw103 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Possibly....the only place to get food in Soak City besides subway and the little hot dog cart as far as I know... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 What did you eat? That would be a huge clue.... 1 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 There's a hot dog place in Soak City too. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good it was. 1 Quote
mandyw103 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I have a dining plan on two of our passes , I got a bacon cheeseburger and a tender basket. Its adjacent to Larosa's.....And they were slow as..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
lopan Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 And they were slow as.....The former 3rd highest dificulty of Diablo 3? 1 Quote
mandyw103 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Yes exactly. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
