RCTfreak Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Figured this would be a nice random day to pick to write a TR. Anyway here we go. In park time:10:20am Got through a nice crowd through the metal detectors and turnstiles then headed twards The Beast (which is in my opinion the best coaster in the park) rode it 2 times being in the back seat, where I felt as if my internal organs and bones were being smashed into a bloody plup, after that "experence" you may say rode again in the 8th seat, being middle seat 3rd car. Complete change TONS smoother and enjoyable. After forgeting the seatbelt and trying to stand up, and making a fool of myself i was then off to Flight of Fear. Flight of Fear's line was 10 mintues if that, started right after the steps into the UFO, rode train 1 second to back seat. My only grip about that is the small raised section on the floor of the train so my feet wernt level with the foot restraints making my right foot really uncomfortable. Overall it was a great ride,minus my right foot. Being at this time around 11:30 I decided to eat at the Festhaus now and beat the lunch rush(which i did infact do) 2 slices of cheese pizza,a cup of oreo pudding,and ice water cost be $7 and some change, now i know that Kings Island may up the price on some things so they can get a profit but this is horrible, i can go to any pizza place in the area and get more food for $7 plus a drink, I now will only get ice water to lessen costs. After lunch I then went to Son of Beast Well it was my plan at least, arriving at Son of Beast I came to the visualization that the line did infact go through the ques before the ramps up, not wanting to wait for this my friend and I tried to think of a ride that would have no line, so what did he come up with.....the train. Relising that this was on the complete other side of the park and it would be stupid to walk all the way over there, i agreed and off we went to the train. I must say that the Kings Island's train is quite nice but i would like if they tried to either spice up the meager theaming they have and make it look nice, or just take it all out. In the state it is the walls are half rotten in places. I think that area would have great potential if they put some more theaming in there, mabye with mechinal moving parts of the theaming, or like what Cedar Point has with boneville. Anyway took the roundtrip, got a good view of Boomerang Bay, having never been in it myself i cant say that much, but it looks fantastic from the outside they did a great job with it. After getting back from our roundtrip we got in line for The Wild Thornberrys River Adventure. Its a nice ride for a flume ride but it seems in place like right after where the coconuts are and after where the snake is that it seems the log is more ridding on the bottom of the trough then floating in the water itself. The elephent was not working today,but i got quite damp anyway. I then went for a view up in Effeil Tower. When up there i spoted the 2 locations of King Cobra track as well as where the Coney Mall sign is. Does anyone know if it willbe put back u p after the parade is done in august? I had time for one more ride so i took a spin so to speak on Delerium. I absolutly love this ride, rode in seat 48. great ride then i had to head out which was a little adventure in of its self. When heading out to go to the location of my car i had to go basically due left once i exited, well in doing this my friend and I got in the workers parking lot which is fenced in so we got rather turned around and lost spending 5 mintues trying how to get out of the darn thing. Other then that I had a great time, crowds were rather high for a friday Time out of park:2:35pm -rctfreak- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me, or does that seem kind of cheap for a meal at Kings Island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonLord Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 If you just ask for a glass of ice water, it's free. You would have saved 3 bucks by not getting a bottled water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
