CoasterJack Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondback_Is_King Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I heard about the power outage today from a friend that is there. Apparently Bat, Banshee, Racer, and Express were all down because of power 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted July 2 Author Share Posted July 2 Park is quite busy today. Almost full queue at Beast 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some shops are closed on a busy day. People can't spend money if they are closed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 ^as Terpy used to say, they already have your money and must figure the money made by non drink passes isn't enough to justify more open. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CartersCoasters Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Does anybody know if WWC will open before Labor Day? I haven't rode it this year and want to get on it before the water rides close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
