PKIVortex Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 If gates open at 10am what time do the rides start? I thought they weren't going to pull that 10am gate opening at the same time the park does? Quote
tycoonrebel7188 Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 The gates open at 10 a.m. and so do the rides. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 Ha... I used this as a reminder to myself to buy my season pass, which I just did about 10 minutes ago. Quote
Purplehaze Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Also if you already got the temp card last year, your whole family does not need to go. One person can get all the passes on your list. However if you did not get your pic with your temp pass last year you have to be there for your pic. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I am going up there Saturday to get my picture taken care of. Well worth the $10 in gas to avoid the long opening day line to get the picture taken. Quote
Cory Butcher Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 $10 in gas? You either live really far away, or your driving a tank to the park! Quote
WhoDeyForever Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Sweet news! To bad I don't have a car..Looks like my mom will be taking me Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 For those of you who haven't read the trip reports from Kings Dominion and Carowinds, the lines tended to get pretty long on opening day. Thankfully, Cedar Fair was smart enough to do this little favor for the fine folks of the Cincinnati area, so I'd highly suggest taking advantage of it if it's at all possible, especially if you are considering enjoying the park on opening weekend.

Cory Butcher Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I've already had my season pass processed! hehe I even bought my opening day clothes Quote

flightoffear1996 Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 $10 in gas? You either live really far away, or your driving a tank to the park! Its 25 miles up and then 25 miles back. So thats 50 miles one trip and my car gets like 16 Miles to a gallon which is a little over 3 gallons. Quote
corn4ahead Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 my family and i got the maxx pass, does this include the line shortcuts as i heard about from somewhere Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 my family and i got the maxx pass, does this include the line shortcuts as i heard about from somewhere Only at the park where the Maxx pass was purchased... Quote
Young Gunz Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Does anyone know if you have a KI pass if it can be upgraded to a Maxx Pass during the season? Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Call the park and ask. I cannot imagine that the answer is anything but "Yes, we'd love to sell you an upgraded pass..." Quote
cincyboy79 Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 hmmm ok so im confused and i forgot to ask when i was at the park today. i got my maxx pass exchanged but it doesnt look gold to me nor dows it say gold pass on it. how will they know that i have a gold maxx pass??? Quote
Losantiville Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 I asked when I got my pass today and they said that all passes that are Maxx passes are also considered gold passes. I also added the all Ohio Parking for $40.05. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 It's my understanding that Maxx passes are gold passes ONLY if purchased from Kings Island, not from some other Cedar Fair park... Quote
pkifreakhogg Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Sweet i will be heading down on sunday to exchange my temp-pass and get my new 07 gold pass. Was there alot of people there today? Quote
Losantiville Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 When we got there it was us and one other family! I was actually pretty surprised how little people were there, but then again I am sure that the weather had something to do with it! Quote
fan of beast Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 at 2:00 pm, we had one family in front of us. in and out in just a few minutes. Quote

DegenRider Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 The entire exchange took less than 20 seconds. no one was there. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 Went around 4:00 today with only one family ahead of me. I didn't have a temp pass, but rather had the printouts from an online purchase. For those of you who didn't know, the season passes do NOT have your photo on them this year, and the photo of the pass on PKI.com is accurate, featuring a ride what looks like it may be The Vortex on it along with the new KI logo. Also noted, the canvas promos hanging over the main gate (side roof of the International Restaurant) now feature ads for Firehawk, Season Passes, and the middle one sports a good ol fashion "Welcome to Kings Island" message on it, of course with the new logo.

They upgraded my Season Pass on the spot with the all Ohio Parking. Quote
