jdawg1998 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Waited nearly 2 hours for Diamondback, 45 minutes for Banshee, and 20 minutes for Adventure Express. Very crowded today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIDB Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 We were bummed but decided to go home after being there for about 3 hours and only riding WindSeeker twice, Zephyr, and The Bat. I think a few of the wait times were grossly underestimated from the looks of the line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIDB Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Also wanted to mention that I told my husband to kick me if I ever consider going to KI on a Saturday night again. The crowd tonight was the most obnoxious and disrespectful bunch I've seen this season. I saw no less than 20 people smoking out of non-designated areas. I had two older teens ran smack dab into me very forcefully and not even a muttered sorry came out of their mouths. Line jumping was terrible. It was seriously like everyone adult in the state dropped their disrespectful kids off at 10am and then just said "see you at midnight". Now, to bed for me, right after I start yelling "get off my lawn". Some days I forget I'm only 31 and shouldn't be so disgruntled with the "youngins".

Italian Job 2005 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 This is one of the few Saturdays (midnight closings) where there has been great weather all day long. It makes sense that there were more crowds today than usual. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Just don't take matters into your own hands. Vigilante justice can end very badly in the parks. Contact Security, complain to GR, do not fight back (unless you truly feel your life or others you care abouts' lives are in danger) nor act as Security (unless you are). Terp, who has lived in Atlanta and DC long enough to adopt the North East mentality, and now understands why (and who is lucky he didn't get his head removed at SFA, Dorney, Astroland (Coney Island of Brooklyn), NJFTP, or even KD (which can attract a very rough crowd) in years past). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIDB Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I said a few choice words and went on my way. It wasn't one of my finer parenting moments but the one ran into me really hard and I was fuming. We're going back Wednesday evening where I'm guessing the crowd will be a little different. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCandyManCan Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Waits aren't bad today, some things packed, especially food and drink stands. Rides are general weekend lines, I expect moat people doing Soak City and other rides currently while its hot outside. Banshee had maybe a 15 minute wait max 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCandyManCan Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 This morning's work was cancelled due to some issues. Decided to maybe stop by Kings Island on my way north. One of four cars in the parking lot. May be a good morning all things considered 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCandyManCan Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The park now has a good crowd to it. Took a quick nap in the car. Wokeup to cars all the way to the exit sign. My one hour and its a whole new view 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCandyManCan Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 At the park right at the tower base, indeed stuck. Maintenance, ride managers, sups, and police all here on scene Edit: Lowering slowly currently as we speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll know that they intend to keep it closed for tonight if they raise the arm to the top.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIDB Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It opened back up very shortly after from what I could tell. Getting stuck up there for any amount of time would be my worst nightmare. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I feel like getting stuck on Drop Tower would freak me out more than getting stuck on any coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 If I got stuck at the top of Drop Tower, I might die... ...from boredom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIDB Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 WindSeeker and Drop Tower are the only rides that make me nervous/anxious. I am not big on heights and having all that time to think about it and look down would make me a wreck!

The Interpreter Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 So...after the ride was down, it was back up. (Make it stop....he's stuck!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocolts Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Drop Tower is open. With 5 people on it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCandyManCan Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I almost considered going in this afternoon given the rain probably kept everyone away, but the fact I still see rain outside my window, I think I'll relax and enjoy a quiet afternoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Job 2005 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 There were no lines all day. Diamonback was a station wait, and not stacking. #KIBestDayEver 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohioparksrock Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 15-20 minute Adventure Express wait. It's crowded! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Where are you at Ohio? Everywhere is packed. I'll meet up with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohioparksrock Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 White water canyon was only a 5 minute wait. I shot people while the kids rode. Best $5 ever spent! We are heading back for ERT tonight. Even one ride on each will be worth it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
