OriginolleY Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Ahh the Time had finally came for me to Travel to one of my favorite Theme parks ever! Kings Island Of Course! Got to the park about 9:30, To an empty lot, paid my 15 to get the premire, and got a GREAT parking spot. We waited for them to drop the ropes, till 10, then we were off, and im 6"2 250 and i kept up a pretty good sprint to get to Firehawk! Well we waited for about 5 minutes then they started to let us in. Me and my Sister were trying to get change and couldn't (The Change Machine was out of order ) So i waited in line while she found change. The locker took our change, we said F-it and decided to ride Flight of Fear. Great ride, and a walk on. Most of the rides today were walk ons with the exceptions of Firehawk. We rode The Vortex, then Beast, Then Delirium. First time for Delirium and i must say that is a great ride!!! Then it was time for some Food. We went into the Air conditioning, (im not sure the name of the place, but Panda Express is in the building.) Me and my sister split 2 slices of the greats Larosa pizza and some breadsticks. Bringing us to a whopping total of 21 dollars!!!! I have to say, this has got to change really, I know we should have brought a cooler, but it was just smelling so darn good!! After that is was to Firehawk. 1.5 hour wait and i can now say i have rode the ride that everyone is talking about and i have to say i did enjoy it. Loved when you flipped over for the first time, but once again, i felt like i was going to slip out! I think this was 1st ride jitters. Scary moment after Firehawk. We went back to ride Flight of Fear and we were next in line to ride when they sent the train out, and right after words the lady running it went crazy! Which made me think something awful happened. Turns out she hit a button she wasnt supposed to and they had to PUSH the train back into the station. I didnt wanna see this nor did i know if anyone had gotten hurt, so we left and headed to The Vortex. If anyone knows more info on the story please post about it. All in All it was a great trip to KI. I love Everything about it. and i will defiantly be coming back soon! By the way i was thinkin about posting my Firehawk On ride Photo, but im afraid i will never live down the shame, of the look on my face, my sister has a copy thats already too many! LOL The Vortex and The Beast were walk ons all day and like i said the longest wait was for Firehawk. I rode everyride about 3 times a peice. I didn't post all the details because i already feel this has gone too long and im sure people are already bored. Had a great time, Loved every second of it.

Raptor66 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 That little incident about having to push the train into the station happened to me once, also on Flight of Fear. The train didn't make it all the way into the station and the ride ops had to push it in. Everyone clapped afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Butcher Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 If rides that have a launch do not achieve a proper minimum speed mandated by the manufacturer to complete the course, then they will Area stop themselves on the launch LIMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aborted Launches and rollbacks, gotta love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
