malem Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Just a reminder that this month's night ERT for gold & platinum passholders is this Thursday, featuring Mystic Timbers, The Beast and Backlot Stunt Coaster. The event runs 10pm-midnight; show your pass at the ride entrance to ride. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/events/ 1 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 It has ranged from being twice as long of waits after it started than there were before closing, to being walk ons the whole time. It all depends on how full the park is and how nice the weather is (which are pretty related). Usually, even when it has been busy, though, crowds usually tend to drop off as the night goes on. So towards midnight it may be all walk ons even if it was busy earlier. Tl;dr: it all depends and is hard to predict for sure, but should be fun if you can stay till midnight. Quote
Diana Welch Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 What are the best rides during the evening? Quote
silver2005 Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 If it isn't a wash out tonight (going by the forecast), I may show up. Won't decide until after work. 1 Quote
malem Posted July 13, 2017 Author Posted July 13, 2017 I might come as well this afternoon, depending on the forecast. If so, I'd probably arrive around 4pm or 5pm. 6 hours ago, Diana Welch said: What are the best rides during the evening? Here's a previous discussion on which rides members like to do at night: https://KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/31185-bestworst-night-rides/ Many would say that The Beast is the best night ride at KI, or anywhere. Mystic Timbers is also a unique experience after dark. Night ERT on both of them will be a lot of fun - weather permitting! 1 Quote
VortexBFForever Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 If my dad lets me go to KI this afternoon/evening, I'm going to try to hit 400 on Vortex and 100 on Diamondback and WindSeeker! Hopefully the weather will cooperate enough for that to happen. 1 Quote
silver2005 Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Today started like a normal evening summer visit, then ended up as a rainy Haunt visit. I'm more soaked than 5 rides on WWC with the rain that poured mid-ERT. Had a fun time regardless. Quote
VortexBFForever Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 I had my first night rides on Backlot Stunt Coaster tonight! I took advantage of the nonexistent line and rode it three times. Then I went to The Beast but the thunderstorm beat me to what would have been my first night ride on The Beast since 2013. Oh well. But BLSC was fun! I always underestimate how intense it is for such a small coaster! Quote

kikid74 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I'm guessing that the August 3 night rides of Racer, Delirium and Adventure Express will be one of the lighter attendance nights? Especially with some rain in the Thursday forecast. Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I'm just hoping it doesn't end up rained out. But I really don't expect high attendance, no. Quote
