Thursday 5/26 - slower day at KI?

Morning!

 

This is an awesome forum, I look forward to checking more of it out.  My family and I got Gold Passes for Christmas and are excited to go to KI a lot this year!

 

Since some schools aren't close yet, is it your experience that it might not be as busy this coming Thursday?  Just curious, was thinking that day might be a unique opportunity to see a less busy park day.  I know Mason schools are closed, but not Cincinnati public.  Anyone got any insight or opinion on this?

Calling for storms, weekday in May, not a Friday (more school groups seem to come on Fridays). Yes, I'd say there will be low crowds. The storms may keep rides down sporadically through the day, but when they're up, the lines will likely be short.

And, welcome to KIC!

I think that the rides will run approximately as fast as they typically do.

What a...line!

I find Tuesdays to be great walk-on days. You catch that pre-Wednesday lull in the week before things start to pick back up towards the weekend.

Thanks Magenta, was thinking the same thing as far as weather, etc.  I worked there in 96 and have such great memories of the park.  Taking my kids there now is so fun.  We went a few weeks back and it was great.  My only complaint is The Vortex didn't really age well for me.  I used to love it but man that was a rough ride!

What do you think about this Friday (5/27)?

Friday is calling for a lower chance of storms and there will likely be more school groups. Also, people may be taking off the day from work to extend the holiday weekend even farther. Busier than Thursday but probably lighter than a weekend.

I'll be at the park for the Cirque Origins preview (and the rest of the day Friday) so I'll find out if I'm right

Today wasn't bad at all. Walk on Vortex, 5 minute beast. Limited food options and a decent amount of school groups, but most of the buses rolled out around 5pm.

I just learned that the free active duty/veteran military ticket offer (as well as discounted friends/family admission) includes today, so it might be a little busier than I expected. It's good they included Friday, I just didn't expect it because the other Memorial Day promotion (the buffet) is only the other three days.

Welcome to KIC!

5/26 was AWESOME!  We got there at 0900, and was able to get a great parking spot.  We were able to ride Diamondback 4 times in lass than 30 minutes...amazing way to start the day.  The Beast line was about 10 minutes after that.  Outer Limits was the longest at about 20 minutes.  We rode all the coasters and many of them several times, with the older ones having no lines at all.  I'm really happy we went and will probably think about this day all summer while waiting in the longer lines.  Great experience.

I continue to find Sunday mornings to be perfect.  Regardless of year or weekend, Sunday morning always delivers.  Park gets busy about 1-2pm, but by that time I'm rolling out for the weekend.

Hmmm.

And Origins first show of the day on Sundays is....
