IndyGuy4KI Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Please use this thread to update wait times for the 2019 season. Please remember a ride going down is normal and is okay to report, but please don't post "Riders are stuck on the lift hill of DB." A vague statement like that is not helpful and that is when the media starts calling the park. We can not wait to get the 2019 season started and look forward to seeing everyone at the park opening day! Don't forget the KICentral picture on opening day at 2:00 PM at the Antique Autos.

Magenta Lizard Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 It looks like the line for the new ‘tiques is seven days and a few hours (somebody had to make the joke, why not me?) 6 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I saw at least one to two people wearing shorts during Winterfest too! And, if you (and anyone else on here) remember October 20 last year (that extremely windy Saturday where the wind chill was in the 30's), I was working at Firehawk that night and a few riders were wearing shorts! I couldn't help but think, "Are your legs not FREEZING?!?" especially since I had no fewer than two layers on and still struggled to keep warm! @malem definitely isn't the only one who sometimes likes to sport shorts in cooler weather! Pertaining to the topic, the wait time for anything as of 12:24 pm is approximately 4 hours and 36 minutes for my passholder friends, and 21 hours and 36 minutes for everyone else going tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I wear shorts and a t-shirt at the park tonight, and I got pretty cold. Given the weather, I was impressed by the number of people who turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thabto Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 The line for the Antique Autos moves very slowly. THe station queue and overflow queue went almost back by the KillMart building. I waited an hour from that point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I waited 45 minutes for my ride on Antique Autos, it was a beautiful area and was very well done. I can’t really get to mad though, it’s an brand new attraction and ride operators have to get into the swing of things. That being said, lots of things were running at a very slow pace.

silver2005 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 The group I was with had a bit of a slow experience getting through the Brewhouse line, but once we ordered our food, it came out very quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asouthern729 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Making our annual pilgrimage from Nashville this Friday and Saturday. What should we expect for crowds on these two days since it's not opening day but also early in the season? I've been poking around online and some people say April-May is a good time to visit before school is out and people are traveling for the summer but I imagine Saturday will still be pretty busy. We plan to leave home early in the morning Friday to be able to spend the afternoon and evening at the park. Then all day Saturday, coming home Sunday. Since we (my family of 4) only visit once a year I don't mind paying for Fast Pass Plus if necessary but am hoping to be able to do without on Friday. Saturday I assume will be pretty busy but maybe we will luck out since it's not opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday could be a different story. It looks like it will be warmer than last weekend, so they should be able to open Vortex, Adventure Express, and The Bat. That will help, a bit, with lines for coasters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We originally planned to go last weekend but my wife mistakenly asked for the Thursday before Orthodox Easter off work (this Thursday) instead of last Thursday so here we are Weather wise it appears we will be much better off.
