Long Lines

Featured Replies

I really don't ride any thrill rides at all but from what I see It would look like Face/Off has the longest wait

Well, I have never been to Kings Island but I hope to make a trip soon. From what I seen at other parks it look like Face/Off would always have the longest lines.

I'd say Face/off because of the huge area the line goes through that's always filled up, since only one train can go at a time it's a long wait. Same as every other year since it's been here.

Face/Off, defenityely. Although there was that time i waited for two hours for FoF when it broke down :) lol

Yea true but Face/Off is only a hour wait or so when the hole line is full. IMP dropzone is the longest line

Well I never have been on a thrill my entire life since i around 80 years old. So I just say Son of Beast cause it is the biggest at the park

well coaster wise, it goes to Face-Off and we all know why.

Drop Zone and TR:TR also have long waits as well, for the same reasons also.

My voted went for Face/off and Dropzone. The lines move so slowly its rediculous! I know there is nothing that they can do about that b.c that is just how those rides operate, but I think in the future they should consider doing something to speed that up. Like giving a sort of "fast pass" the the attractions with longer lines just to avoid that. They dont have to do it for all the big attractions. Just those 2 and maybe SOB and TRTR

yeah i would like to see that also. The thing about DZ i don't like is everyone is huttled under that covering in one section that whole time, so it's tight in there. So when it's hot, it's definitely not a fun experience.

Do you mean current long lines? If so, it's between Face/Off and Drop Zone. If you mean lines from yesteryear, well I waited 4 hours for The Beast the first few years it was open. The Vortex used to have a 3 to 4 hour wait. FOF has had 3 hr waits in the past as well. Oh yeah. And The Racers had 3 hours waits as well, I think.

So basically, all the 99' attractions have long lines? This will always be because they can only run one load of people at a time.

Overall....Drop Zone. This year however SOB has been up in capacity. Does anyone notice this, but Flying Eagles-my ride, always has a line for some reason. And it's not just hardcore snappers like Dane, it's ANYONE! :o

I say FOF because its inside and people would rather want to wait indoors than outside but maybe thats just me. Other rides with ridiculous lines of course is DZ and Face/Off

  • 2 weeks later...

I say Face/off it takes forever to ride it when the park is packed same with Action F/X theater! Its drives ya CRAZY!!!! :wacko:

I dont know why everyone keeps saying Flight of Fear because that ride does have a high capcity but the monster also has a very slow moving line,

I say TR;TR because my sisters waited like, 3 1/2 hours to ride it. I was riding Sponge Bob 3D for so long I felt like I was going to lose a pickle myself, if you know what I mean.

I did a little research and found all the rides (with votes) hourly capacity. This is an estimate.

SOB: 1,000

The Beast: 1,200

Face/Off: 850

DZ: 550

Delirium: 600

FoF: 2,000

TRTR: ?

As you can see, FoF has the best capacity in the park. The line may be long, but have you ever stood in the same spot of the line for more than 30 seconds? Didn't think so. I voted Face/Off. It has the longest line altogether. There are always more people in F/O's line than DZ. DZ is also funner and scarier than F/O.

Really The Racers counted as one have the highest capacity at 1,320 guests each side (2,540 total.)

Adventure Express is quite a people mover too at 1,600 GPH.

Are the FoF's numbers accurate with one less train when PKI went w/o the OSTR's?

Vortex currently does 1600pph.
