IndyGuy4KI Posted April 17, 2024 Posted April 17, 2024 Please use this thread to update wait times for the 2024 season! Please remember a ride going down is normal and it's 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 hope you are excited to get the 2024 season started. This season we celebrate 4 different anniversary seasons. 10th for Banshee 15th for Diamondback 25th for Invertigo 45th for The Beast With the addition of Camp Snoopy and a new Vekoma roller coaster to ride later this Spring, it is sure to be a great season! The KIC Admin looks forward to seeing everyone at the park this season. 2 Quote

IndyGuy4KI Posted May 11, 2024 Author Posted May 11, 2024 The Beast currently has a full queue and extends out into the Midway. All of the switchbacks are open in the station as well. 4 Quote
SmartCat7162 Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Looks like The Bat only has one train currently working. Looking at the Facebook group only one train is on the track.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/AjEahhgQkL5FMiQE/?mibextid=K35XfPSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

One of them is down for maintenance, but he didn't clarify anymore. Rode it May 3rd on the train down for maintenance, my seat was loose and the back car sounded like nails on a chalkboard whenever it swung side to side, so I assume they might be addressing some issues with the second train. 3 1 Quote
Taylor.B03 Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 There's been so many issues with this ride in the past 2 years, not looking good for it. Quote
DJSkyFoxx Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 KI could become the suspended coaster capitol of the world if they decided to give The Bat floorless trains much like Chessington's Vampire. Now I for one really love the old Arrow suspended cars, but if it meant saving the ride all-together by putting new trains on her, the floorless trains would be a nice option and might give it a whole new life/experience. I feel like at the speeds in which The Bat flies at some of those turns could be crazy feeling with feet dangling. Quote
Rockfrog33 Posted May 25, 2024 Posted May 25, 2024 Does any one know what is going on with The Beast? It's been down for a few days now with no updates from the park Quote

PKIDelirium Posted May 25, 2024 Posted May 25, 2024 Maybe we'll get another round of Gravity Group overhaul during the postseason to address additional parts of the ride. Second tunnel through to the approach to the second lift could use new track. 2 Quote
PKIVortex Posted May 26, 2024 Posted May 26, 2024 Wait times for The Bat should be much better now. It's back to two train operation.Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk 5 Quote

DJSkyFoxx Posted May 29, 2024 Posted May 29, 2024 I will be the first to admit that looking at those photos of the lines gives me so much anxiety I have become the person that will only ever have a pass with ASFL or no pass at all at this point. I love the park and I love the rides but I simply cannot deal with lines like that anymore. Quote

robintodd Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 Park is experiencing an extensive power outage. No rides going and they evaded people off the hill if The Beast. WindSeeker was stopped about 50 feet up. Reastraunts and other powers fine. Started around 10:45. Quote

(assuming at least someone has it on their phone, can't really tweet on a computer with no power obviously, but someones gotta have it on mobile right??) Quote

Music still blaring and passes work to scan in. But some of that tweet stuff may be set to auto go out. Quote
