Guest faceoff Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 How many season pass holders are going to Kings Island this weekend? The weather report is not very promising. Will you still go or wait till opening weekend april 9 & 10.? Have a nice day. Tom Quote
beastdude Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I think I am heading down saterday and going to the park on sunday but my plans have not been finalized. Quote
TQZ Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I think I am going to go down tonight and Sunday. Tomorrow looks like its going to flat out suck. Saturday is supposed to be cold, rainy, and windy. Thats not fun, I dont care who you are. Quote
Gulliversrubadub Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Sunday is supposed to be half way decent. Not really warm yet not really cold. Quote
RingMaster Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 At least us workers will get to just sit around and do nothing on Saturday. Doubtful irf they'll let a few of us off, but im hopin for it! im still waitin for them to soft open IJ:ST. If and when that happens, you can be sure that i'll be 1 of the first in line! Quote
familyman Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I am going Sunday. That looks like the best day of the weekend for the weather. Quote
DeliriumDreamer Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I'm just praying for good weather- the forecast seems to keep changing, and it keeps getting worse and worse... I'll be bringing my fleece tomarrow. Quote
Reclaimer Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Sunday, hopefully. I gave up on Saturday...and I'd HATE to have to give up Sunday. Quote
Player Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Sunday, hopefully. I gave up on Saturday...and I'd HATE to have to give up Sunday. Dude, its going to be walk on's all day. I am going for a 100 laps on Son of Beast. My Goal for the season is 1000 laps on SoB. Quote
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 I don't think 100 laps on SOB is possible. I helped set-up the Gemini 100 out at Cedar Point which (obviously) was an event to get 100 rides on their ride the Gemini which has much shorter ride and load times and the people doing it just barely got 100 rides on it before the park's closing. I mean, you can give it a shot, but I don't think it's possible. Quote

If there is no line and say i can catch a train every 5 minutes that would be 8hours X 60 minutes = 480 minutes, If I can average a ride every 5 minutes that would put me at 96. I hope there will be no line at all so I can re-ride multiple times without getting off, It will be close though. I plan on the park closing about 6 anyways. I wonder if any of the ride ops would think i was crazy? Quote
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Your doctor will think you're crazy when you're carried in with all the stress fractures in your bones from so much shaking. Quote

I can see that there'd be walk-ons all day...but an almost 3 hour drive for a day at the park filled with rain and wind, and the possibility of the park closing early, I'd rather wait the extra day. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Player, the park is tentatively scheduled to close at 8PM both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Although I have a feeling that tomorrow (Saturday) they may end up closing at either 5 or 6 due to lack of crowds and the cold weather. The same thing happened on the passholder preview day last year, but last year they only had Sunday as a pass holder preview day. Quote
DeliriumDreamer Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 This weather does NOT look good. I highly doubt many rides will be open. Quote
Guest faceoff Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Tqz Thanks for your reply. I don't care who you are either. Have a nice day. Quote
familyman Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 It's snowing here in Columbus. BBBRRRRRR cold! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Just got back from a cold, windy wet park. The park ended up closing at 12 today due to the weather, and several rides were not operating (All the steel coasters except Topcat`s Taxi Jam as well as The Beastie and Son of Beast were down. Most of the other rides were open though, and the lines were non existant. I mean, the weather was awfully brutal. Most people came and got their souvenir cups and left. IJST is coming along nicely, although they still have a lot of work to do on it! Quote
familyman Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Tomorrows weather looks better. Every time I see the forecast the estimated temps for Sunday keep going down. Anyone Ride The Beast in the snow? What was the deal with the free cups? Also anyone else having problems with the main page of this site? It has errors all over it. Quote
Player Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Got to the park at 10:45, to my demise they said park was closing at 12. So i went in got a ride on delerium, then i went and rode beast front row, then on my way out of the park stopped and took a front row ride on FoF. I would have let SoB run! Quote
Jasper Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 If you are a season pass holder can you gety into the park? Quote
acerjeep Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Just got home from PKI, it was a fun but brief day, very cold, rainy & windy. Rode Delirium alot while family went to other rides, now I'm ready for warmer days & more rides Quote
RingMaster Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 no unfourtunately not. we only had to work 4 2 hours though, that was sweet. yeah the front page is all messed up for me, too. i have to work a close on Sundy. hopefully we'll see a lot more people and a lot more things to do tomorrow. Quote
ZosoBeast Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Wasnt much open today. We rode Beast, TR:TR, Deli, FoF and recar twice. Did anyone else take the IJ:ST tour at noon today? I had to fight for it but I got my free cup darn it! Quote
RingMaster Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 wait, there was another tour today? darn it, and i could've gone to it after work! Quote
Guest faceoff Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Since today's weather is no good and ruined the day- how many passholders think that Kings Island should be open friday night- 6pm-12 midnight for passholders only? I am planning to come next weekend both days and think this would be a great idea. Have a nice day. Quote
familyman Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 What is the deal with these cups? What do they look like? And when did they mention a tour of IJST? Quote
