Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

[CoasterRenchDoes Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

I am leaving work early as well. This visit will be for the little ones though. We will be hanging out in Planet Snoopy and eating dinner at the park.

Enjoy. The wife and I got lucky, the grandparents offered to keep our little ones all evening. Going to be a little different being able to experience the park without 2 little ones and spending 90% of our time in Planet Snoopy.

[ApeFluffy, Fluffy, Donkeys Filled With Medicine and Goo!]

We will, Thats what we got to do last night. My boy has been asking all winter to go back to the park. Enjoy your evening as well.

[CoasterBoasterBobI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

It depends on the event. This one was from 5am - 11am. The upcoming Disney one is 3 days! lol[/quote]

Is that for Avatar Land?

[Geauga DogI love donkeys more than me.]

Glad to read the good reviews of Mystic Timbers. Looking forward to riding it later this summer. When I first read what was in the shed Verbolten came to mind.

It will be a STRUGGLE to pick night rides! Beast, Diamondback, Banshee, and Bat are all excellent night rides and now you throw Timbers into the mix. I'll have to pick a midnight closing and get a fast lane to hit em all.

As for KI that is probably the best type of struggle to have. Having done Beast, Diamondback and Bat at night I'm going to have to fight how to fit Banshee and Timbers night rides in my visit.

That's great! And what a simple idea to figure out.
"Entertain the incoming train, while it's waiting to disembark."
So easy, I'm surprised a park hadn't figured it out till now.

Good going, Kings Island!
And thanks for the dramatic reveal, Robb!

[HoppyHoly crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

Same here and loved all the Beast, Diamondback (without seat belts) and Bat night rides!

Looks like I'll have to find a babysitter for my kiddos who aren't tall enough and try to sneak in a bunch of rides or see if I can get multiple days at KI soon.

Oooohhhh. But did you ride Beast without seatbelts, headrests, no brakes and WITH buzzbars? And it was stained red? Dats what I'm talking bout. Mmmmk.

[thepoint4life23I wrote the book about donkeys!]

The line for Mystic Timbers looks really only 20 minutes into the night

Hmmm. I rode it back in 1995, after Memorial Day weekend.

I remember being able to actually turn my body in the seat. No head rests. A lap bar.

And that dash through the woods after the first drop ---

And then I had the good fortune for our train to stop mid-way on 2nd lift ---
My fear of heights was still not done with me, back then. Very short time. But I panicked good.

A fun ride back then.

The line for Mystic Timbers.
