Is it possible to do Indiana Beach in one day, or suggest scheduling more than a day?

Almost any holiday/holiday weekend is crazy busy at Kings Island. However, there is always the option of buying a fast lane pass, which would allow you to get on more rides than if you chose to wait out the lines with the rest of the crowd.

As someone who has worked various MN haunts for the past 6/7 years, I thank you for leaving your kids at home so you don't complain later about us scaring your kids. I, as well worked at Halloween Haunt at Kings Island for a couple of years. I could not believe the ages of the children that parents were bringing through the houses, and like you said, would get mad at us for them being scared.

Fright Lane tends to vary from Friday night to Saturday night. If you go on a Friday night and are lucky enough to catch the local high schools (Mason, Kings, Little Miami) with home football games, typically you can get through the majority of the haunted houses. Saturday nights are crazy and without Freight Lane, is almost impossible to get through all of the houses. It is a hole punch method like mentioned in an earlier post, you get fright lane for each haunted house one time, with the option of a "free one", that way you can go back and choose which ever house you want to do a second time. My wife and I go every Friday night, and almost always buy fright lane, mainly because we both like to move as quick as we can due to baby sitter restrictions. Also, an added value with Freight Lane is the golden key that comes with it, which gives you access to secret rooms in select haunted houses. Not anything major that you would miss out on, but a nice addition for sure.

After going through my list, it's clear, I need to get back into the coaster game. Taking time off due to starting a family really put a stop to my climbing list of coasters, here is my top ten. 10. SheiKra 9. Exterminator 8. Manta 7. Voyage 6. Nitro 5. Diamondback 4. Banshee 3. Hollywood, Rip, Ride, Rockit 2. Incredible Hulk 1. Millennium Force
