Just on Banshee something drilled me in the foot. Hurts like heck but I’m glad it only hit me in the foot. Stay alert everybody and please keep you phones away on rides. Not only is it illegal but also unsafe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah, last night there was a lady videoing her whole ride on Dodgem. I'll be honest, I was targeting her the whole ride to try to get her to drop it... 1 6 Quote

MDMC01 Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Delirum was walk-on, Bat looks to be a 1 cycle wait Quote
Cmhornblessed Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 I have never been on a b&m that stacks like Diamondback. They should put a countdown clock above the train like other parks. Update; the ride ops at Diamondback were killing it about 7:30. They were getting trains out quick most of the time before the train ahead entered the helix. Great job.

harmony29 Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 Did beast ever come back up? We waited about a half hour and decided we would do it later. We left the park early with the cold wind. I swear I told my husband how did we do it for haunt in the cold and rain but yesterday I was a wimp lol. Oh well we are shooting for coming back up Sat. Quote
Cmhornblessed Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 Any body in the park? How are the lines?Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk Quote
Gannersdaddy Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 ^ Medium sized crowds today. Busier than yesterday 1 Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 2 cycle wait for Drop Tower. Planet Snoopy busy at this point. Quote
Phoebestar Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 Ok, so I just moved really really close to the park (10 minutes from my front door to parking), and I have fulfilled my childhood dream of getting a season pass. Is there any way to get wait times outside of the park via the web/app? I want to know if there are short lines, and I can pop on over and ride a few rides. I went Friday and walked on The Beast twice, and on Mystic Timbers in about 5 minutes, and went yesterday and waited 40 minutes for MT (and Beast was closed.) Once I've had next to no lines, it's hard to go back! (Wah, I know.) Quote
DiamondBanshee Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 ^This thread will probably be your best option for that. If you want to pop in just ask anyone on here how busy the park is. Your next best option would be to look at the webcams on the website just to gauge for yourself if it’s worth going or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
King Ding Dong Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 I have heard some with Android have used geospoofing, but I am IOS so can’t help you with that. You could always launch a drone and just make sure you don’t invade park airspace and also follow all applicable laws. 2 Quote
Phoebestar Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 ^ Ooh, did you just get me a legitimate reason to go buy a drone??? Quote

Its sometimes flaky whether you are in the park or not, but the rides times it shows have been doing better. Oh, and Welcome to KIC! Quote

Drones to not fly on things they fly over them. Correct me if I am wrong but KI does not own the airspace above the park. They cannot prevent Delta, American or Southwest from flying over their property anymore than I can prevent them from flying over my house. As long as a drone pilot does not violate FAA regulations KI is powerless to prevent it. KI can of course choose to terminate any contracts they have with said pilot. Quote

TombRaiderFTW Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 I didn't ride it then, but I imagine it's not a feature at all. The maintenance lights were probably left on by accident. Since that's a pretty rare occurrence, he was suggesting we get there in time to see it. 1 Quote

Gannersdaddy Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 We rode again Sunday and the lights were off. It was quite interesting to see with the lights on. I dont recall having that happen before. 1 Quote
chad_1138 Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 I think it would be cool if they would do a “lights on” time a few times a month at the beginning of the day for Back Lot and FoF. 1 Quote

I recall riding it once with the lights on in 1996 when I was working at the park. It was a little on the scary side to say the least. 2 Quote
MDMC01 Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 Delirium and Drop Tower were a cycle wait each. Backlot's wait may end up being 10 min (in line now). And yes, I've had a lights-on ride on Flight of Fear- it was amazing! 2 Quote
