It was the same last year when Adventure Port was opened for weeks yet still showed TBD on the website... But reading FB comments apparently most don't think a webpage exists since most of the questions are answered by looking at the KI webpage lol... I had no idea this page existed. I always saw it on the KD or Carowinds websites, but never KI. I'm glad it's there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robintodd Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Not sure if this was mentioned before but I rode Wookstock's Air Rail yesterday in the front and noticed the painted letters on the metal floor on the lift hill. Nice touch 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkyFoxx Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 People seriously just slide further and further down the scale. I say this almost every single day that people are devolving instead of evolving. Since when is it ever ok to assault someone over something so trivial? What example is this neanderthal showing his children? That it's ok not only to cut in line, but its also ok to assault someone when you don't get your way? Pathetic. Unfortunately these things are all too common anymore. Do better people. Seriously. If not for yourself, for your children. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeast Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 And that's why, even as a big tough guy, I don't mess with anyone cutting in line anymore. People seem to have extremely short fuses, less morals and are prone to fight or worse these days. Even when they are obviously in the wrong. I was taught respect and rules from my family, especially in a public place. I love my home park and never think about breaking rules or being a general jerk in respect to the place that has been my second home my whole life. I just do not get people that think they are so special the rules do not apply to them and potentially are violent like this instance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I hope they recalibrate and fix some of the nozzles in the fountain soon. Here are just two not working properly. Totally dead Only one side works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are just two not working properly. Totally dead Only one side works. Wouldn’t plan on it. Hasn’t happened since year one (if then) the “fan jet” nozzles make no sense at all. They either need to be set to arch NOTICEABLY to the center, or be replaced with a trumpet jet like was there before. There’s no real difference between the two when they both just shoot “slightly off center” straight up. The whole thing needs work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSalsa Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 On my way home from another awesome day at Kings Island. I got my 50th ride on The Beast (it was amazing), rode tons of stuff including Soap Box Racers, and ate some great food. I will post a full trip report later probably. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Brad Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Stopped by last evening for my first visit of the year. An afternoon storm cleared out some of the crowd and left us with sub 20 minute waits for everything. Enjoyed my front and back seat rides on Banshee, front in Racer, back on Orion, back on Snoopy Soap Box, back on Mystic and Beast, the train for a nice break, and a long awaited Smurf(blue) cone. Got to watch my son working at his coaster like a boss, and finished with the fireworks and drone show. My first coaster rides since going on some very tough meds, and I felt great! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I’m briefly emerging from my lurking to inform you that my 2000th Bat ride is fast approaching! I plan to take it tomorrow afternoon/evening depending on how many I can get later today between the rain showers and storms. If you’re at the park tomorrow, come celebrate with me! The exact timing will largely depend on how close I get after work today… 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you send me pictures of your milestone! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBeast Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Does anyone know what time they close the line for The Beast? My niece and I are going to get a night ride and I need to know what time to be in line by. It will be her first, and I haven't had one in years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIVortex Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Anyone ride Adventure Express recently? They seem to be having issues again with one of the trains. Something also felt very different with the trims before the first lift. We barely slowed down and went around that unbanked turn at a faster rate of speed and it was very noticeable as you could feel the g foce. It hurt my back a bit. When we hit the lift you could tell it hit the lift a lil fast as it made a very loud noise almost a grinding type sound. My concerns were told to the park but in all my years riding it I even operated it, it had never done this.

I think I did notice the sound you were talking about with the lift hill though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor.B03 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 All this year, that trim before lift 1 has felt less powerful than before. It makes it really fun though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I bet the trains don't appreciate it, though. That's carrying a lot of speed through a sharp, flat turn without the braking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 ^Add onto that a certain other Arrow once at the park had structural issues due to taking unbanked turns too fast with heavy coaster trains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I bet the trains don't appreciate it, though. That's carrying a lot of speed through a sharp, flat turn without the braking.Makes you wonder if that's why one train isn't operating right now. This is putting additional stress on the trains and the ride. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 It's also just flat no-spine track on the tunnel floor, not directly on bents like most of the ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxedoman52 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I wonder if the park would be willing to invest in magnetic brakes for Adventure Express, at least in the two pre-lift sections. Similar to Tennessee Tornado in 2008. Would likely require new brake fins, but that would be about it.Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
