PKI, Italian Job, and some GREAT customer service

[Hilltopper39]

I drove up to Kings Island sunday morning to get the walk back on the Italian Job. When the PKI representive came out t they told us that the Italian Job wouldn't be opening on time to they were gonn take us back to the beast instead. We were all alitle bummed but oh well. While waiting for the beast to open we asked the rep if we could go get in line for Italian Job instead. She personally volunteered to go ahead and get us all a free fast pass for 10-11 . SOunded great, after a lackluster ride on the beast (1st ride of the morning, half empty train,runnin a litle slow) we exited and found the PR rep waiting for us on the ramp with even better news. SHe said the ride had jsut opened and said were gonna get our walk back on it after all. She walked us over to the ride and put us in line in front of a few hundred people waiting allready and gave us the ride on Italian Job. After we we exited the ride she had another fastpass waiting on us to get another ride in between 10-11. It was a great way to start the day off, with two rides in the Italian Job, thanks alot to Kings Isalnd for some great customer service. As for the ride itself, it wasn't the fastest or most thrilling but man was it fun. The trains are f*in sweet, the launch and helix turn was great, and the tunnel was really cool with the headlights of the cars on. I can't really explain the ride anything other than fun. The ride reservation system PKI had even allowed me to get 5 rides in on the day. Cool ride, go check it out!

^was it seibert? when I was at the park friday I missed the walkback on the Beast but Seibert still gave us all fastpasses for IJ. Im suprised they had the headlights on, as they wern't on friday.

[Hilltopper39]

No it wasn't Siebert, it was a few younger girls, and I only ot headlights on a few of the rides because they were only operational on 1 or 2 of the trains, but those were a few really good rides, cool effect.

did you ride in front? it had 2 moments of ejector airtime in the front, but was quite boring (aside from the themeing) in the back.

[Hilltopper39]

yeah I actually got three rides in the front and there was some prety good ai time, a few ejectors and a floater after the high banked turn. The back was a litttle lackluster outside the themig and the helix.

I agree the front's the way to go.
