KIghostguy Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hello everyone! I've never done a trip report before, so here I go. I arrived at Kings Island today at about 3:40 or so. As soon as I walked in, I headed for Action Zone, and devised my usual plan of action for attacking the park: move from left to right. I first went on Banshee, and I literally hopped right on with no wait. The ride was a tad bit rough, in a good way of course, as always. Because the ride still had no wait, I immediatly hopped right back in line and got right back on. After this ride, I went over to The Bat, which also had no line. Nothing new here, but still fun as always. Adventure Express was next. I had forgot about how much Adventure Express whips you around! Still a lot of fun, though, and again, no wait. Next up was The Racer, which again had no line for where I was sitting on Blue. As we climbed up the lift hill, I noticed the old cars from Days of Thunder had been tossed in a pile in a field behind the Plush Barn. The ride was very rough, it had lots of airtime, and was lots of fun. I'm glad that Kings Island still has fantastic wooden roller coasters in their original form unlike Six Flags. I was going to go on WindSeeker, but it looked closed, and Backlot Stunt Coaster had a long line, so I headed over to The Beast. This was my very first time on The Beast this year, and it came with a few surprises! First, the lift hill was faster than usual. Again, I had not been on The Beast since last year so perhaps I had just forgotten, or maybe it had been this way all year. Also, for those of you who don't know, I hate the feeling you get when you go down the hill, but this time it was very faint. To give you an idea, the feeling is strong (for me at least) that I've never been able to smile for the camera, but this time I was able to. I had forgotten what a great ride it was! For those of you wondering about the line-it was the longest all day, but it was short compared to other days-I would say about 10 minutes long. After The Beast, I left the park at about 5:50. Unfortunatly, the Eiffel Tower was closed, so I couldn't say hello to Johnny, and try as I might, I was not able to pick up on anything stupid other people said to post about in the "Dumb Things That Guest's Say" thread. Also, because I was tight on time, I wasn't able to get on Boo Blasters to examine the Phantom Theater busts behind the boards. It was a great day, very short lines, and I was able to get on some of my favorite rides. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaestroJr Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Nice trip report ghostguy, yeah the Days of Thunder cars are next to Firehawk in a field I'm pretty sure. You can see them from Firehawk's queue. Sorry you didnt see the Phantom Theater spooky faces, guess there is always next time! Ill be sure to take pictures of them and any other Phantom Theater stuff when I go up there in a couple of weeks, ,MaestroJr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 You and I use pretty much the same circuit- starting with Banshee, and working one's way around the park. Sounds like a sweet night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
