BB1 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 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. 8 Quote
MDMC01 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 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... 7 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 As always, Adventure Express. One does not disturb that tradition, or else now you will pay. 8 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 it ended up being Vortex as myself and others celebrated VortexBFFs 300th ride. That was my final ride of the season also. 6 Quote
silver2005 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Beast for the final public ride of the year for me. 6 Quote
Gannersdaddy Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 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. 5 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 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. 9 Quote
KIghostguy Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 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. 6 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 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. 7 Quote
VortexBFForever Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 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!! 11 Quote
LoraX Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 ^ 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!)

malem Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 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. 7 Quote
tuxedoman52 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 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. 7 Quote
electricsun Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 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! 5 Quote
coasterfanatic83 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 The Beast. In the cold rain at about midnight earlier in October. 4 Quote
BB1 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 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. 4 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 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. 10 Quote
KingsIslandJunkie Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 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. 5 Quote

rhyano Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 My last ride for the year at Kings Island was The Beast at night, awesome as always 4 Quote
PKIVortex Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 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. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk 5 Quote
MaestroJr Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 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. 4 Quote
homestar92 Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 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. 6 Quote
VortexBFForever Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 "Vortex is impressed!" 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. 6 Quote
Voicetek Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 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! 5 Quote
CoasterDirected Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 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 . 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. 6 Quote
NoChickens Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 We ended the season on The Beast. After riding Vortex's last train of the season with VortexBFForever. 5 Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 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! 6 Quote
