PKI96 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 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? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 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!

teenageninja Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I think that the rides will run approximately as fast as they typically do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haru-Kun Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI96 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEAST Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 What do you think about this Friday (5/27)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck norris Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 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.

Magenta Lizard Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI96 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjcolglazier Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Hmmm. And Origins first show of the day on Sundays is.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
