johnaalexis Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Someone broke part of the fence in the Mystic Timbers Line. This is why we can't have nice things lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edit: This is in the back section of the queue near the shed & RFYLCB. Also, didn't know what thread to leave it on butt wanted to share and it made me a little sad. Lastly, while typing this in line for Mystic Timbers watched someone ahead of me about break another. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I was thinking when I seen the queue fence the first tume they better have plenty of replacements, I'm sure the park knew what they were getting into with it. Those will break constantly all season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieF Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 What coasters don't have bins anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I think all rides that had bins kept them, even Diamondback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 The only coasters without storage available on the ride platform are Mystic Timbers, Banshee and Firehawk. Flight of Fear uses an article storage area near the ride platform instead of bins. I would not recommend leaving valuables in that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Also, for those riding Mystic Timbers, you can't ride with a fanny pack; I found this out the hard way. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieF Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Cool! Was curious for my sister. She leaves her glasses in the bins but I wanted to give her a heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jr for Birdy Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 My neighbor has the same fence, constantly telling neighbor kids not to climb it. It's not the same lumber used for MT I can assure you that! I could make a SOB joke but I'd rather not, that wasn't Cedar Fairs doing, but I am surprised they built the queue with that fence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harveyhaddixfan Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I don't understand why they didn't put the metal railing along all of the wood fencing to keep people off of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 How long were the Fast Lane plus lines for MT this weekend? I'm curious how they mixed them into the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubJester Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 ^ Fast Lane line moved pretty fast from the three times I've been in line. Make sense Mystic Timbers doesn't have bins. They need the train to get out of there fast. So people aren't sittung in or outside the shed. (Which I think kind of ruins the shed if you're sitting there for a while). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that they found it when they were checking my seat belt and I was surprised about that. It turned out ok in the end and I was able to ride; but I now know first hand that no loose articles means NO loose articles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Lane Plus went to attendant by the front and they would direct you to cross the line and enter the left que. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning storms shut down most everything. Rain + Diamondback = Not much fun. If its does not stay, it does tend to clear the park though.

Elizabeth19 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Yeah, I planned to go to KI on April 28th cause it's a school day. So there should be very little people up until 3 or 4pm. Perks of being homeschooled. lol just do school next day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 So, I just finished my trip report from Opening Day (I don't usually share KI ones on KIC, I just keep 'em to myself) and it was very long. The only thing I got hung up on is while I was doing that, I was also remembering (and writing down) the setlist from Back to the 90's and I couldn't remember what song played after "Two Princes", but before "How do I". Yeah, I feel like this is going to be another "The Boyz are Back"- after the first show, I'm hooked! The first act is good, but I really like the 2nd and last acts (I'm not sure if there are three or four acts- while watching, it felt like 4 (which was impressive to me), but when I wrote all the songs/acts down that I remembered, I only got 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be good if your patiently waiting in line. It's not Easter weekend anymore and many gold and platinum members will flood the park next Saturday, I'd say a lot more than yesterday. I'm just giving the heads up, members don't typically leave the park, they wait for everyone else, that works at times during the summer and fall, I wouldn't get my hopes up for this Saturday. It's hard to get lucky on a Saturday especially this early in the season from my years of experience. Most every gold pass in a 2 hour radius will plan to be there knowing a new coaster awaits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the forecast is now it will certainly be different 5 days from now. Coming from Columbus there is a considerable investment in time and money getting there so I tend to look up north if the forecast is more that scattered showers for that day. However whenever I do that there are always a few posts here like "the storm cleared the park out and everthing is a station wait!" Next time you are at the Dollar Store get some cheap ponchos to have on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad_1138 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I think we are going to come down Friday when I get off work. Should make it down by 5:30. With the park only being open from 5-10 I am hoping for low crowds. Well, at least lower than last Friday.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
