Ride Wait Times 2025

As a precaution, Flight of Fear has been running reliably, but they haven't been filling the last 2-4 rows. It was explained to me that because of everyone running their AC within the park and within Mason, the stators don't have the power to launch a full train without repeated rollbacks. So, the capacity has been even more abysmal. Had a great ride Friday night while everything else was closed for rain

I'd expect this whole week to be busy with it being July 4th week with lots of people off work. Also the cicadas being gone helps. I heard even with storms the last couple of days the park has been busier than expected. Tbh this is good to see as it did look like attendance struggled the last few weeks so hopefully this is the start of a bounce back attendance wise.

Well, my issue today is the park is busy and all (the few ones open) drink stands are quite a wait. Some shops are closed on a busy day. People can't spend money if they are closed.

FL for the major rides out the queue today. 

Meanwhile in the boardroom "see lowering the gate price increases attendance"

And the cycle continues...

I went to KI last Tuesday evening and had a walk-on for every ride except FoF. All the sudden MVP sale comes out and the parks are PACKED. The nice weather has contributed to that a little, but like you said, everyone wants to get use out of their brand new shiny pass. It'll be crowded until school starts back up. Everyone's getting their last trips in before school starts. I'll explain some of the stuff I noticed at CP in my Trip Report

I think that the weather had ALOT to do with the crowd.  With the cooler weather the dry park will be more crowded.  When the heat index in 100 people either stayed home or were in the water park.  This could be easily deduced by the line at either the season pass sales booth or taking forever to get in the park because of people getting their pictures taken at the gates.  Too many people are concerned with spending on school supplies and will likely wait till the last minute to buy new/renew their pass.

I do have a theory that there may be alot of pass holders that buy every other year.  Thinking about it they would only miss Mid April - July (4 months) in a 2 year period.   They buy a pass now for the rest of 25 and all of 26, take off mid-April - July in 2027 and buy a pass when they go on sale in 2027 for the rest of 2027 and all of 2028.

To be fair it is a Saturday with good weather and for kids summer is winding down as school starts in the next couple weeks. 

And the pass sale is bringing out all the new passholders with their shiny new toy LOL
