Imperial79 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You beat me! Lol. Though I can't go to opening day, I can't wait to see the new videos everyone puts up for opening day/night of 2015! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 In the Facebook thread of the announcement (https://www.facebook.com/visitkingsisland/posts/10153464055928368:0) someone asked about the preview for passholders and this was KI's reply: There will be for passholders that renewed by the fall deadline.So that answers that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You beat me! Lol.

Can't wait! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdf21972 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Opening Day 18th. Closed 19th for private event. Hmmm. Who is the private event for this year ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Unfortunately, it seems that I will be busy on Opening Day. Depending on the details for the preview night, I might make a trip down for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Opening Day 18th. Closed 19th for private event. Hmmm. Who is the private event for this year ? Most likely the same company that always rents the park out on the first Sunday of the operating season... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marth555 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 So passholder preview night is likely to be the 17th? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splatrick14 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thrilled to see some nights open till Midnight. Riding Diamondback or The Beast in extreme darkness just enhances the thrills. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 They typically stay open til midnight on Saturdays in July, and this is at least the 2nd year that they've included the last Saturday in June in that as well. I also find it interesting that they're open from 4 til 10 on April 24th. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I also find it interesting that they're open from 4 til 10 on April 24th. They did that last year on the Friday of the second weekend as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 We'll be there. Me and the youngen' already making plans. Seems we'll do KI's opening, along with CP. Can't wait. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I highly doubt I'll be there the first 2 weekends for those are the weeks around exams. Might try the first Friday in May at the earliest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I will probably be there at least part of the time on opening day, depending in part on when the passholder preview night is. If I end up taking a day off work for the preview night I'll probably go in on that Saturday. I'm trying to avoid taking a lot of time off until after May due to having two enthusiast events in the course of three weeks in May (Coasterstock and Holiwood Nights).

MysticsTimber Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 In the words of the late great and new WWE Hall of Famer "Macho Man" Randy Savage, OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH YEAH!!!!! So if you couldn't tell already, I'm excited! Edit: I found something interesting about the 2015 operating calendar. The last two Friday's during the regular operating season, the park is open 5pm to 10 pm. I find that strange. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsislandfan1972 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm going to try to make it opening day, I just hope it's not as packed as last year, hopefully I'll be there, but until then I'll just keep watching YouTube videos, and pretend I'm at Kings Island. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and me both.....I would think last year with Banshee debuting, That drove up the crowds alot. Last year was the first time I went on opening day, We got to ride pretty well everyting we wanted. Some of them, twice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voicetek Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 After fighting crowds last year on opening day, I just might sit this one out. I don't know. If I'm not doing anything that day, maybe I'll ride out in the evening and catch a few rides. It depends on how I'm feeling, I guess.

PKIVortex Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I would be surprised to see massive crowds like last year on opening day this year. For one Kings Island isn't opening a major roller coaster this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 And what was opening day 2013 like? Or 2012? Terp, who likes to ask questions (and who certainly will NOT be at SFA that 2015 day...) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 And I will NOT be at Kings Island opening day this year. I will be getting married to the love of my life that day! And then the next day we are off to our honeymoon in Southern California, where we will be indulging in some Disney fun (although we are both slightly bummed that both Matterhorn and Soarin` will be down for rehabs when we are out there. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool75 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I will be celebrating my 2 yr wedding anniversary that day. We were married on the 19th but going out Sat. ^also congrats on getting married. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoChickens Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 As with all opening days at our home park. We plan to be there, barring any unforeseen circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm not sure I'll be able to make it. It does not coordinate with my schools Easter break(Easter falls early in April this year). It would be fun though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegenRider Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 i havent been to an opening day in 7 years. I may come for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'll likely be there for preview day, whenever that may be. Opening day... eh... After last season, I think I'm good. Might go early and get a couple rounds in on Vortex while the bulk of the crowd heads straight for Beast, Banshee, and Diamondback. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
