jcgoble3 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Looks like it's time for this year's reminder that amusement rides go down for various reasons all the time, and usually are back up and operating within a short time. As such, routine ride closures need not and should not be reported. Generally speaking, although we post individual ride wait times in this thread, those individual times aren't usually what most people care about. They are only a means to an end, that end being a gauge of how crowded the park is in general, and thus helping someone determine whether a quick afternoon/evening visit to the park is worth the trip. This is why posting routine ride closures is pointless: because they are useless for determining crowd levels. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBanshee Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Little over a day until pass holder preview! Anyone else think this off season seemed quicker than usual? (I know we had winter fest this year but still, the off-season seemed to fly by!)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Yes. A couple months ago, it felt like it was taking forever, but now that it is almost opening day, it definitely feels shorter than previous years. As it should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whengodsaysgo Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 We'll either have just exited our first ride or queuing up less than 24 hours from now. Happy dance! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 My first Vortex ride of the season (a.k.a. my morning test ride at work on Saturday) is less than 48 hours away!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixohdieselrage Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Looks like we have about a 4 hour and 50 minute wait now. About as long as Mystic Timbers during Preview Night last year. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Just curious, what are the wait times like for tonight's passholder event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timfsu2k Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Not nearly as crowded as last year. MT is broken down and will be down for a while according to the KI employee turning people away from the queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gannersdaddy Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Mystic Timbers is back up. Diamondback is 30 to 45 minutes. Rivertown is as far as we have made it so far. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondBanshee Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 ^I’m pretty upset about it because I was next in line. I’m kind of surprised how it was a complete E-stop into a closure. I understand BLSC and TTD are two different beasts entirely but I assumed it would just reset and relaunch like TTD.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I believe they launch using different launch mechanisms. And backlot launches from the station. TTD doesn’t so it can easily re launch without pushing it back into the station for it to be able to launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The Beast was decent tonight. Lines were pretty long for food stands. We ended up eating at Juke Box Diner. Line wasn`t too bad, and food was ok.  We rode The Bat shortly after it opened. When we got in line, the line started at the bottom of the stairs. Line took about thirty minutes, due to dispatch times being about five minutes.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funpark Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 It's a very long wait to get out of the parking lot. The new entrance has not improved the flow on to Kings Island drive in my opinion. Just sitting here waiting for the lot to clear. I don't want to burn a half a tank of gas getting out of the lot. Still great being back at the park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still great being back at the park. It's going to be like that no matter what, when theres a crowd of that size. You should of saw Cedar Point October. Took an nearly an hour to get to the toll both.
