2015 KIC Off Season Poll Series Week I: Last Ride of 2015

Featured Replies

It's back! Yes the Off Season Poll Series is in the 3rd season and with new poll questions it will be a great way to make the Off Season go by that much quicker!

To start off this week's poll, let's go back to your last visit to Kings Island. It's the final ride of your 2015 season and you made one last decision on how to end it out with a bang. Was it a memorable night ride on The Beast? Or maybe one superb last scream on Banshee i am sure it was right. With that being said; what was your last ride for the 2015 season?

My last ride of the year was one of the greatest night rides ever. I love cool, dark, and fast rides on Beast. I had a great time and it was priceless to have as a final cold ride on my favorite coaster.

My last ride of the season was going to be The Bat, but it ended up being Vortex as myself and others celebrated VortexBFForever's 300th ride.

 

EDIT for user name re-spelling...

As always, Adventure Express. One does not disturb that tradition, or else now you will pay.

it ended up being Vortex as myself and others celebrated VortexBFFs 300th ride.

 

That was my final ride of the season also.

For the regular season, it was The Racer (not one I would have imagined).  For the extended ride time tonight (again, a BIG thanks to KI for that), it was Diamondback.

Interestingly, I just realized that this make two seasons in a row that I have ended on a milestone. Last year I was on the same train as Banshee's 2,000,000th rider for my final ride, and this year I ended by sharing a ride with a KICer during her personal milestone of 300 Vortex rides.

 

What an odd coincidence. :P

It ended up being Boo Blasters three weeks ago, because I didn't know that that was the last time I would be at the park this season.

Mine was the Eiffel Tower, which I've visited countless times - often two or three times per trip -  throughout the entire existence of the park.

When the park closed to the public, my last ride was Vortex (as always) which this year was extra special since it was my 300th ride and I shared it with a lot of my KIC friends (as well as the awesome crew there that night!).

My last ride during the ERT was my first night ride ever on Banshee, enjoyed in the front row. It was COLD back there!! :P

^ I waited to ride with you for your 300th ride, but when they had their slight delay around 6:40, I left due to needing to meet up with someone by 7:00. I heard the crew was fantastic and helped you count down to #300. Congratulations!

My last ride was obviously The Beast (tradition and you know I love that crew!)

My last ride was the final train of the 2015 season at The Beast ERT, along with 4 other KIC members. Afterwards, the ride crew lined up to offer high-fives and say goodbye to the last riders, which was a nice gesture.

 

Congrats on getting to 300, VortexBFF! silver2005 and I would have made it in time for the final Vortex train, but we got delayed by a cursing guest who had to be removed from The Beast around 6:50pm.

Last ride was Diamondback because it was open til 9, but I got on the last train (lights on) on FoF for the 4th straight year.

The Beast. Whipping through the forest with giggles and happy sighs.

But my last rides throughout the park before my final two rides on The Beast had me dropping, flipping, twisting, and lifting out of my seat. Perfection!

What is sad for me is that I have marathoner Beast so much that I have no idea of just how many credits I have on it. Heck I could probably have well into the hundreds if I kept count all these years.

BB1, the "eh I'll just go over to the waterpark and take a few rounds on the lazy river" kind of guy.

My last ride this season was Adventure Express with my husband, during that gorgeous sunset we had closing day. Looking forward to many more rides with him in 2016, since we finally got him his own Gold Pass again.

My last ride of the season was WindSeeker but the extended ride time was woodstock express  but rode Diamondback 11 times during the day and 3 times during ert.

My last ride for the year at Kings Island was The Beast at night, awesome as always

My last ride before the park closed at 7 was Racer. Then my last ride of the season was Banshee 2nd to last train of the season.

My final coaster (unplanned) was Firehawk. Final ride was Drop Tower. Awesome season and awesome Haunt. So excited for next year!  Also riding The Beast at 11 pm in the cold rain was awesome as usual.

I closed my season, as always, with a ride on each of the Arrows. This year, the last one in that rotation was The Bat.

"Vortex is impressed!"

Congrats.png

:)

:) Thank you Tb! I honestly did not expect to receive as many congratulations as I have. I appreciate the outpouring of support from everyone! I know Sunday was a memorable day for many.

My last ride of the season was Diamondback.  My wife and I were planning on going this past Sunday to do the last rides of the season thing, but ended up having to meet up with her dad and stepmom.  Diamondback is a great ride and definitely a fine way to end the season though!

My last KI coaster I've ridden was Diamondback back row, stretching my arms back and getting drenched by the splashdown. Last coaster in general was Screamin' Eagle in the back row at SF:SL. Such a good coaster in back row  :D. Pitch black, woods everywhere, and the last two drops being some of the most intense ejector airtime moments I had ever experienced. I was pressed so hard into my rather loose lap bar. I still have 2 days left in a park for 2015 at Over Georgia for Holiday in the Park, so that'll be great. 

  We ended the season on The Beast. After riding Vortex's last train of the season with VortexBFForever. 

After riding Vortex's last train of the season with VortexBFForever and her 300th ride, we ended the season on Diamondback for her first ever night ride. I was going for my 400th on DB, but did not quite make it this season!
