How's it looking today?

I just got here about 25-30 minutes ago. It seems like a pretty steady crowd but as I don't normally come on Saturdays, I'm not sure how this normally compares. Drop Tower had 3/4 of the queue building full. I'm in line for Banshee going on 15 minutes. Likely another 15-20 minute wait.

There are signs for "Music in the Parks Ceremony". If that is like Carowinds, they had choirs and/or bands competing today. But that's just an assumption.

If I knew that was happening if have been more likely to come. Let us know if you hear/see bands

When I was there early this morning I saw quite a few kids in shirts that said such and such place's choir.  I was curious what the sign meant, so that explains quite a bit

I'll keep an eye out. It may be too late for performances. Decided to wait for Drop Tower so I'll get a good view in a little bit.

There is a Festival of Music next month which seems to be dedicated to choral groups.

Many school/charter busses in the parking lot. At least 15 that I counted as I was turning around Drop Tower. Drop Tower was an hour and ten minute wait. By the time I was done 5.5 of the 8 rows were full. Delirium was quite full as well. Viking Fury and Invertigo had reall short lines. The Beast queue is full. BLSC queue was 3/4 full. All the food lines are long. I would say it's a busy day. Going to ride the train and head home.

Watch out for falling trees.

App says 75 but Diamondback is about 15

Vortex line is currently closed. Saw a train with people go into the station and sent out an empty train

Does the app reflect that?

Terp, who likes to ask questions.

The app does say Vortex is temporarily closed, strangely enough.

Edit: and in the time to ride SR&R, Vortex is running again.

Funny thing was that we were able to get 2 rides on Diamondback (even with some stack) in less time than it took to get served with plain orders (no special stuff) at the Chicken Shack

Got here at 10 a.m. Diamondback is one car wait at most

Sounds good!

Looking at the webcams, today is probably an excellent day to visit Kings Island- Diamondback's line is only to the stairs at its worst via its webcam, and it's 2PM now- though since it is a school day crowds might pick up later on when the kids get off.

 

Also since I'll probably be visiting the park in 1 week from now (unless something changes) this has me hoping the lines are like this when I visit, but then again nothing is guaranteed...(checks web site)...uh, how popular is Banshee Brew Festival? It doesn't begin until 4PM, and is an upcharge, but it starts the day we are planning on going...

No one at top of steps stopping at Diamondback but still moving quickly. Firehawk is full but is only running one side. Lots of food places and stores closed with some saying will open at 4 or 5. Both funnel cake places currently closed

We have eaten once and got our food quickly

The park is not crowded at all.

Perfect day to be here, already rode most of the rides and got here at 1

I was there from 10am till 2pm, very light crowds.  Most ride's had the line in the station.  Much more enjoyable than opening day was.

Firehawk is down. Saw the yellow train evacuatibg when was riding racer

No updates today?  I am guessing poncho sales are good

Anyone have wait times? I'm at Great Wolf right now and would love to walk right over, ride a few rides, and come back.

Park doesn't look busy at all.

 

Diamondback looks to be a 10 or 15 minute wait per the webcam (http://pixelcaster.com/live/kingsisland/Diamondback.html)

 

Banshee looks to possibly be down right now (http://pixelcaster.com/live/kingsisland/Banshee.html)

Was there around 3, did Vortex front seat (5 minute wait) and beast (walk on) then grabbed a meal.

Park was pretty empty. Longest wait on the board was 30 minutes Flight of Fear. Rain is coming down harder now though.
