Crowds were actually pretty low so I would expect similar. As Malem said many people have plans with family and stuff on Easter for the holiday so helps keep the crowds down. Easter sunday is always a great day to go, because most people forget that the park is open that day or are busy spending time with families. Always the best day to go and see the new additions to the park! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdf21972 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Just gonna add this right now on this thread: Add to your calendar that the park is closed Sunday April 23 for a private event. No passes or tickets accepted except for those attending the private event will be allowed to attend. Thanks !

silver2005 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I do like all the pass holder ERT events the park has scheduled this season. Definitely will plan on attending a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Come to think of it, its kind of surreal seeing Kings Island nearly tied in coaster count with Cedar Point. I never thought that'd ever be a possibility. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melody Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The only ride my friends daughter wants to ride on preview night is White Water Canyon. It usually doesn't open until Memorial Day when the water park opens right? I can't remember for sure but I would assume especially this year with all the construction and draining the water it will be delayed until then.

CoasterOhio Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 ^ It is insure if it will be open or not. Typically it usually is, but last year it didn't open with the park due to construction of Mystic Timbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Anyone else notice that Beast and the kids/family coasters (Flying Ace and Woodstock Express) aren't listed on the Coasters page? Also, it doesn't seem like the other headings in that section (Thrill Rides/Family Rides, etc.) are not working. Otherwise, the new site looks pretty slick! EDIT: Also, I like their 404 Error page. Try clicking on the Planet Snoopy link on the main page and see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 My wife, niece, and myself will be there on preview night! Looking forward to riding Mystic Timbers in 4 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaestroJr Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 My Kroger is adding new Kings Island signs and promotions which is a great sign and got me really excited when I saw it today! It even had a cool Mystic Timbers sign, so excited to ride! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't open until Memorial Day last year because of some work being done, but it is usually open early in the season. My kids drag me on it when it's still way too cold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECSUSER Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Soooo, FunPix all season photo digital pass is good at most Cedar Fair parks when added to a season pass. Looks like I should have bought one at KI for $44.99 instead of at CP for $54.99. Goes to show, quit looking after you make the purchase.

Rivertown Rider Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 If you look at the new map on the new and improved website, it lets you zoom in around MT. It is neat to see where WWC crosses. The only thing and it may be nothing is the shed back to the station looks different than the Shed outside view that they had released initially as in there is open area between different parts of the shed.

Imperial79 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 How did you get to the new map on the new website? I can't find it anywhere.. Also there's a new blog on the KI Blog site, talking about celebrating 45 years of great Kings Island history! Here's the link! https://www.visitkingsisland.com/blog/2017/april/kings-island-celebrates-45-years-of-world-class-thrills-fun-and-family-entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivertown Rider Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 It looks like the webcam shows the shed looking like the video above, so it looks like the map is just inaccurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Has anyone seen MT test since the cams have been brought back online? I don't want to just stare at it, but I also don't want to look away and miss it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 What can Kings Island do in 9 months? They can build, from the ground up, and entire wooden roller coaster fitted with great themeing! Also, check out the path going behind Backlot, looks like they updated it with some new trees. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
