I wish we were getting the 3 bench buzz bar and not the old cyclone trains, but hopefully they beefed up the seat cushioning and made the trains lighter so they don't beat the track to a pulp so quick.

Edit it to say nothing, maybe? Idk. If this works then my post is gonna be the wonky one lol

They've been retracting GASM for awhile now. The old cyclone trains have been doing a number on the track though. Wish the 3 bench ptcs would come back. Now if rmc was doing a wooden retrack... I would be very interested to see how that turns out. OG was one of the first parks to introduce topper track, would be cool to become a test bed for rmc

Let's get speculating. A single rail would be dope, anything but a freespin in that spot would me make really happy. This would be a huge W for the park. I'd buy a season pass.

They open for the season in early March, 4th or 5th, can't remember off the top of my head. Should be open when you're that way

So far not terrible all things considered, VC is my new #1. That roll in the back was the most insane inversion I've seen.

Thanks everyone, had a feeling the parks would be slammed and this just confirms it! Considering the only new credit I need is VC I should be good.

Gonna be going to Universal next week on Thursday to get my velocicoaster credit and and hot up all my favorites again. Anyone have an idea of what the crowds are gonna be like. Both parks, don't have the express pass.

A point of contention, gold rusher has station gates right? I don't remember them not having them when I was there in 2019.

Acrophobia was open earlier this summer during one of my visits, I think it's closed mainly due to staffing issues. As for the early opening, yes, during my most recent trip in late August they were doing it.

I don't remember Batman having any of the double strap seats.

Hands up is my way of getting just a bit more adrenaline out of my ride. But now when tunnels are involved, I'll be sure to keep them lowered rather than fully extended.

In the tunnel after the second lift hill, about a quarter of the way through. Slight injury, nothing major. It probably didn't help that I am tall/lanky. Also, night ride on the beast was the best!!! We had a blast, and the park lived up to the hype.

Reporting in from the park, today has been a major success. We arrived at the park at opening and had all the roller coasters done before 4:00. Plenty of re-rides later, tragedy struck my left hand on the beast, but I am ok. They rebuilt me in medical, and I'm gonna get my night ride (hands down).

Ok the 8hr drive was definitely worth it for storm chaser, tons of wacky ejector! Park was slammed today, but still had a good time.

Are tickets cheaper online or day of? And is there a late price?

This is all excellent info! Just what I needed! Weather is looking to be rainy in the early morning before the park opens, but shouldn't be an issue. I guess my main question with fastlane is will it be cheaper to buy now than buying day of in the park? This will be one of my last big coaster adventures before I enter the real world, so I'm trying to make it count.

All right, my first trip to KI will be this coming Sunday, last day with the late hours. I'll be there all day 10 to 10, so I want to hear all the veterans recommendations on where to go/what to do. Obviously planning to ride everything and I'm leaning towards starting with the Beast. How slammed are we thinking on a Sunday? Super excited

This Sunday is my first time at KI and on Saturday I'll be hitting KK on the way up. My last visit was in 2020 and I was unlucky enough to have storm chaser breakdown before I could ride. The plan is to get there around 3 so theres plenty of time to ride. How slammed should I expect the park to be?

Was planning on swinging by the park yesterday after visiting a friend but saw they were closed! Did school start back real early this year or could this also be a staffing issue?

First time at the park this year. I was worried the improvements that had been touted would be all talk, but I was blown away by the improved operations. Operators consistently rolling trains and counting down to encourage people to get seated is a major improvement. Park seemed alot cleaner too, and while we didn't order food, the lines didn't seem to be very long. Almost everything was open, minus DDD & Sky Screamer and some others. Crowds were about medium and we probably waited about 40 mins tops for any ride. I can firmly say that Mind Bender is back in business, the trims barley grabbed us before the last loop and I didn't feel any hang time. In about 5 hours our group of 4 has ridden pretty much everything. Great day overall.

Thanks David! A shame that nothing is going on over there.

I'm planning to get out there this summer if they end up opening GASM, anyone got an idea on that timeline?

Everything said about SV is certainly true, the main reason I personally like IG better is the ability to marathon it. Back in 2018 l, my family used CPs busted fastlane system to get 5 rides in a row on SV late one Saturday night. It broke all of us and we were super sore afterwards, but totally worth it!

It looks like those track pieces pictured earlier were for the "Surf-Coaster" going to SWO.
