My brother and I went this past Monday, 9/30, as we were down there for the weekend for a golf trip and decided to hit up SDC before headed back home to STL. When I tell you we had the place to ourselves, I'm not exaggerating at all! If it weren't for the ride ops making us go around, we would've had even more rides on all the coasters. The most we waited was 1 train for front row of Wildfire, which was running 1 train. I think we totaled 9ish laps on Time Traveler (all back and front rows), 2 laps on Mystic River and they let us stay on (got way soaked both times early in the day), 7 laps on Outlaw Run (first drop in the back seat should be illegal) 6 laps on Powder Keg (all in front and back - that back row on the first launch SLAPS and awesome airtime hill), 5 laps on Wildfire- (front edges and back edges) and 4 laps on TNT (back seat is ROUGH). Haven't been to the park since 2002 or so...? I was REALLY impressed. Back in High School, I wasn't a dad of 3 and paid close attention to cleanliness, theming, staff friendliness and such. SDC really has it together. We had no idea how crowds would be, but to not have to use Trailblazer and spur the extra cash and literally lap coasters and explore every avenue and non-coaster ride multiple times within a 5 hour window was a DREAM. I wanted to call out FITH separate. We only rode twice, despite not having a wait. I thought it was great and a well done tribute to the original. However, neither of us were longing to go back and do it more times. It's a great family ride and impressive presentation. Seems like a lot comes at you in a short amount of time. Found it hard to "follow", but I was also familiar with it. The new sets and blends of screens are great. It makes me think they're probably doing this over in Dollywood, given the recent plans leaked for a building 3x the size of FITH. You'd assume a similar ride, on a bigger scale in Wildwood. Not sure what the theme would be, but hopefully it's RMC. Only downside is we saw the ride go down 3-4 times in the day. So hopefully it's reliable enough. If you're looking to go on a day where you can rip thru the park and enjoy everything with no waits, fall time on a Monday is the way to go! I guess kids are in school and people come more on Thursday/Friday for long weekends. EDIT* - What's everyone think for their next addition? They spent a lot of money on the past 2 investments for families (FITH, Mystic River Falls). Seems they're due for a major thrill coaster in the next couple years. With them having a couple launch coasters already, wonder if they'll look to do something like a suspended thrill coaster from Vekoma since they got in with them for BBM at DW....? -

On a Non-Sirens Curse related note, Cedar Point will be running the Midway Carousel backwards for the rest of HalloWeekends. 😵 Midway Carousel -
Was there Saturday night, great scare zone! Honestly ValleyScare was really impressive this year - I’ve never seen the park this busy, and the mazes had great sets and scares! We had such a blast. -

About time. They bought that land over two years ago and Brad Thomas was talking in a presentation in Nov 2022 both about the amount of land they purchased and how there were plans for improvements on the entrance road and parking.......although he was very cagey about whether or not those two things were connected. Guess we will find out in a couple weeks. I am thinking new entrance is a possibility as the park outgrew the old one a long time ago, maybe along with plans for an on site hotel. Now I'll wait for the announcement to see how wrong I am. -

^ Ghostrider closed all day today too 10/1. Lot's of rides on Xcelerator to make up for that... -

So sad, Ghostrider closed all day Monday but not on the closed list. Boardwalk BBQ still great and here comes my ride SoCal has nice weather for many months I was able to get a first row, middle row and back row before they had an employee assigning people to lines. One of the gifts of Prestige Pass of getting throught the lines early. It looks nice from Sky Cabin Poor old Ghostrider was broken all day I did get BBQ - health fruit and salad options Berry and chicken salads I ended up with a half-chicken with mashed potatoes and boysenberry beer. The food was on the meal plan but not the beer -

That's good to know. We'll make sure to eat early enough to get back to the park before all hell breaks loose. What's the best option for late night drunken food in the park? La Rosa's is our go-to at King's Island. It's quick. -

Great Nor'easter rides great for an SLC now, but granted that was a ground-up rebuild. Time will tell with this one I guess. -

I picked up single use fast lanes for Copperhead Strike, Thunder Striker, and Fury on Saturday the 21st. All were walk ons with it. I did 2 houses stand by, waited maybe a combined 20 minutes for them. The bigger thing is the line to get in. I arrived 2 hours after Scarowinds started (walked across the street from my hotel) and the security line was well beyond Fury's treble cleft if you're familiar with the park. -

You never know. Hopefully the juice was worth the squeeze, unlike with T3. -

Hopefully they give Kings Dominion a quick boost like they did with Kings Island.
