Banshee's Closing Weekend Trip Report

A bittersweet weekend to say nonetheless, but still, I had an awesome weekend at Kings Island.

It started on Saturday, October 29th when I arrived at the park around 3:00. I started my day by taking a peek at the construction of Mystic Timbers. Then, I ended up winning 2 front of the line passes for Diamondback and Backlot Stunt Coster. I rode those two, plus took a ride on Racer. Then, I traveled my way to Action Zone, where I won 2 more front of the line passes for Invertigo and Monster. I rode Invertigo really quick and headed to I-Street in front of the Eiffel Tower to get in line for the meet & greet with WWE Superstar, Nikki Bella. This was around 4:30. The finally, around 6:30, Nikki made her way to the I-Street Bandstand and signed for the fans, and myself. Also got a hug. :) Let's just say... I left with a smile on my face. :) After meeting Nikki, it was time to go back to riding coasters, and I immediately made my way back to Diamondback. Rode Racer a couple more times cause why not? Lines aren't always long. I finished my day with a night ride on Banshee. So I guess you could say that this was my most favorite visit to Kings Island because I met my first ever WWE Superstar. I had butterflies in my stomach all day. It definitely was a #KIBestDay.

Now onto Sunday, October 30th. Of course I was going to use my free Fast Lane Plus on this day, even though I knew lines would get insanely long. But I was able to get multiple rides on Diamondback, Banshee, Beast, all my favorites. What also made this visit memorable is that I was on the very last train on The Beast for the 2016 season. It was a bittersweet moment being on the final train, but hey, it was a cool experience! Also made a new friend in line for The Beast before I rode the final train, and he also happens to be a close friend of the person behind the popular YouTube channel, and one of my favorites, Coaster Studios, so I thought that was pretty cool! So to wrap this closing weekend up, it was pretty much the best weekend of my life. Making a new friend, getting final rides, riding the final train of the year on The Beast, to meeting Nikki Bella. It was just pure awesome! Thanks for reading!
