Magenta Lizard Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Short description of The Viewing behind spoiler I haven't done it this year, but last year it was a VERY short Escape the Room type thing. It is only in the hallway just inside the doors, not the theater itself. A whiteboard held the story of the man whose body we were viewing, in a coffin on one end of the room. Blank spaces within the story were to be filled, using information garnered from items around the room. I think we were given a timer of about a minute and a half to do this to "win", but it took nearly that long just to read out the story so people knew what spaces needed filled. I think my team got about a third of the way through before we were rushed back out. It took about as much time to explain what we needed to do as we were given to try to do it, and I was fairly disappointed by the experience. I had been really looking forward to it beforehand. 1 Quote

Creed Bratton Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Did anyone else happen to see Kings Island's Snap Chat today with the removed rides graveyard? Wondering if anyone here has pictures of the rides featured. 1 Quote

Wondering if anyone here has pictures of the rides featured. My screenshots aren't great (still figuring out the swipe thing). You can still access the snap after viewing if you scroll down to the bottom. I'll try to send the good ones to you tmw. Edited to add...or did you mean of the rides themselves, not the tombstones? I blame the two days of kindergartners and early start times! Quote

pianoman Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 By the way everyone, this is how the fountains are supposed to look during Haunt. The red lights are supposed to be on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote

timfsu2k Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Anyone know why they will not let you re-enter the park after 7:00? Quote
MDMC01 Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 @timfsu2k: Probably because they want to discourage people from going out to their cars, having certain beverages, and then coming back in? Someone else could maybe better answer this question better (@malem or @IndyGuy4KI?). Also, I have a question: I went thru Bored to Death twice last night as I was impressed by the maze's detail/theming with all the games. However, I was wondering: what game is in the third room (before Battleship?)? I know it has a troll thing and looks to have ladders, but Chutes and Ladders is right around the corner, so it can't be that). Finally, I had a great time last night, saw Hot Blooded for the first time (so much talent!) and was brave and did Blackout first thing (thank you again @Magenta Lizard for coming with me!). Also got to hang out with Sam and his crazy family (they even had me do the Hokey Pokey! ) as well as having Madame's mostly all to myself, which threw an interesting element of being alone and trying to escape into the mix!. Urgent Scare and Field of Screams were also good, and I highly recommend staying with the group- the folks in the corn maze do not like you exploring their corn field- trust me! Finally, I did all the mazes in one night, which was cool. 2 Quote
pianoman Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Anyone know why they will not let you re-enter the park after 7:00? From what I've heard, it's because they don't want people going out to their cars doing dumb things ( drinking, drugs, partying, etc). So it's mainly just a safety issue.

Magenta Lizard Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 I believe you are referring to the "Mouse Trap" room 1 Quote
MDMC01 Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Ok. Sometimes it's hard to tell which room represents which game... Quote

I am hoping it calms down so we can catch a later show and the rain holds off (they stop the show for rain) Quote
pianoman Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 For anyone currently at the park, know that a line of storms are crossing the Indiana/Ohio line. They may have to shut rides down in an hour or so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Skyrider Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Is Kings Island crowded now? I wasn't sure if the expected rain kept some away and also I hear some high schools have Homecoming tonight. 1 Quote

Diamondback is a solid hour wait and Mystic Timbers is an hour and a half. Been hoping for rain but it keeps moving back 1 Quote

Was considering to come tonight since I live close by. Quote
JubJester Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 It cleared out after the rain hit. It was like everyone was acting like the Wicked Witch of the West. Was with some family members tonight, and we decided to hit Slaughterhouse on our way back to the front after the rain started, and that was the BEST decision ever. They had close to ten actors that usually roam the park in there. There was such an amazing energy/vibe in there and it was packed in there. Amazing amount of actors and they got everyone at least once. An amazing experience. (They also had some in KillMart, one included the Yeti who was freaking a kid out in front of me.) If it rains when you happen to go, do the mazes. Just a great moment. 4 Quote
MDMC01 Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Good to know that the roamers were invading the other mazes during the rain storm (and also, that Slaughter House was rolling on all cylinders!). For the few times there was inclement weather during Haunt, I saw some roaming Festhaus (but this may have been a few years ago). Also, while driving home from work (during the end of said rain storm, mind you...), I passed KI and thought about the fate of the roamers (as well as those in Backwoods) during this weather. 1 Quote
Gannersdaddy Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Well, I got my rain. It was just a couple hours later than I wanted. Diamondback went down followed by the rest. We roamed the park and ended up at Urgent Scare. It was fun, I guess. Everyone was nice. What was the coolest was that we had never been back in that section of the park. Getting a.new view of WindSeeker and Racer was pretty cool. Made it back around to Diamondback after seeing a closed down Blood Drums stage only to find that no ride were going to reopen. Maybe just as good, as the rain was coming down harder. All in all, a pretty.good.day/ night 3 Quote
pkifreak23 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 i was finally able to go Friday night and we were able to do all the mazes and a ride on mystic timbers but 11:40. Wasn't a bad night to go at all. Field of screams and black out were the highlights of the night for me. 1 Quote
GoodOldJR Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Made a trip on Saturday and I just want to give a great big shout out to costuming. There were some absolutely beautiful characters that I just wish I could have spent more time with. There was an amazing bird woman around MT that had so much detail. 3 Quote
DMann1979 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Another Haunt question, I missed going last week had too many weekend errands pop up. And I'm sadly going to miss the Friday meet up since I work till 5 and I just know after this week I'llbe tired from work. But the main reason is I am going Saturday so I can spend all day at the park, that way I can get certain rides done during the day and focus on mazes etc at night. Plus I like the idea of making an endurance run of being there for 14 hours. What time in the morning does the gate open for the parking lot. Is it an hour prior to park opening like during the regular season? Do Gold Pass memebers get Early Ride Times during Haunt? 2 Quote

I see no reason to believe it would be different during Haunt, as it hasn't differed in the past. 1 hour ago, DMann1979 said: Do Gold Pass memebers get Early Ride Times during Haunt? Saturdays and Sundays only. There is no ERT on Fridays during Haunt. 1 Quote
