prozach626 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Well crap... freeze warning from 1am-10am on Sunday morning and I'm going to the park on Saturday. I hope none of the coasters close from the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 That's what I mean, man. Freezing = 32 degrees. I know they'll be open during the day, but daylight will be over before 7pm and the temperature will start dropping to sub 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Just checked into our hotel near the park. We were planning on going into the park tonight, but the entire state of Ohio is under construction. What should have been a 4 hour drive, turned into a 6 hour drive. Â Has anybody on here been in the new haunt yet? If so, what's the theme of it and is it worth the wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texascoaster89 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I'm surprised you had trouble driving. I flew up from Texas on Friday morning to visit King's Island Friday night and drove back up to Cedar Point on Saturday. Our drive from Cleveland took about 3 hours or so. Â This was my first visit to KI and I must say I was impressed! I had always wanted to check out The Beast and the legendary night ride lived up to expectations. As CoasterBill stated, I hope it doesn't get revamped any, I love a good out of a control wooden coaster! As much as I love our new Texas Giant here at SFoT, I do miss the old beat you up version before RMC took it over sometimes. Â Banshee was AWESOME and I really enjoyed the airtime on Diamondback. I went up to Great Adventure this year and Nitro and Diamondback are very very similar but I enjoyed the KI version a bit better. I enjoyed Firehawk a lot more than I thought I would, I enjoy flying/laydown coasters, but the restraints can get uncomfortable at times, but we enjoyed our ride. Â I was very impressed with the haunt! They had a TON of roaming characters and I enjoyed how dark and creepy the park felt, it was very well done! Overall, a very good trip and I got to knock off The Beast off of my "need to ride before I die" list. We found some very nice locals in the lines who helped us out and very much appreciated it!

BrianGC Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm going to the park Halloween weekend for Haunt. I'm assuming I'd need Fright Lane for Saturday night 10/31 to do haunted houses, but if I were to switch my schedule to Friday, would crowds be better? Also, I plan on going back to the park on Sunday for the rides; is closing day usually an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The construction I am referring to, is on I-75 from Michigan down to cinncinnati. Â Friday night crowds are minor compared to Saturday crowds. Saturday night wait for one of the haunted houses was 2.5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummermattk Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Has anyone else noticed how Carowinds and KI have added the unlimited souvenir cup refills for 25 bucks next year? That honestly sounds like a good deal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Every time I take a look at the Cedar Point webcams during the day with decent weather Millennium has a mostly full queue, and at the same time on the same day Diamondback is nearly a walk on. Of course there are factors that influence this but it's very consistent. Does Kings Island just not get that busy during the day in the fall? It's really weird and I take a look at the webcams fairly often because I'm a nerd  Edit: later in the afternoon it might be a 10 minute wait and build up at night, but until then its almost empty. It's a strange sight to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamico2 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 KI doesn't run any of its houses on Sundays; CP does. Sundays at KI really only consist of families with young children and a small number of die-hard passholders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundays at KI really only consist of families with young children and a small number of die-hard passholders. Â I still think that KI should run at least one or two houses at least, maybe the new BLACKOUT or MADAM FATALES CAVERN OF HORRORS, just so that the teenagers/Adults aren't bored to death with spooky children stuff....although i haven't seen many Haunt props covered up on Sundays like they used to. Â Â Â In other words construction has started on tropical plunge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The park only stays open until 7PM on Sundays. I can't recall them every staying open later/or doing haunt attractions on a Sunday even going back to Paramount's ownership. I was surprised SF Great America was open 'till 10PM and had haunts open on Sundays...I had grown up only knowing KI to do it on Friday and Saturday!

PkiJake Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I kind of think its cool that Sunday's at the park are basically family days. Some families only have Sunday as their only day off from work and kids extra-curricular activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Here are a few random shots I took at the park last weekend. I love what they did to the front gate this year. Anybody know what this thing is? I built this car Not sure whats going down here Yea....Saturday was so buisy that vortex even had a crazy line. The old flight commander entrance In the arcade, you can win this grand prize for only 8000 tickets X Flight!! Hmmmmm My son is not quite tall enough yet Fast lane helped us ride the beast multiple times. They are making progress on the new entry plaza On the way out, we spotted the banshee car heading to taco bell Mistake on the menu board...wrong park This reminds me of a deathclaw from the fallout video game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeykaise Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I'm not sure what the proper name is but this looks like its a chiller used in commercial hvac systems, I work in IT but the company I work for is a huge hvac company so I'm sure someone in my office could tell me the exact name of this thing.

PkiJake Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I meant to post my video here from my trip on October 16. I had never been to Haunt on Friday's and wasn't sure how the crowds would be. It was also fairly cool that night. I'm not in to the haunted houses, but went through probably the two easiest ones, Sorority House and the clown one. Â I've gained a little weight since I went a year ago, so Diamondback was a no go for me. I was able to get on Banshee though. I still love that thing. It wasn't as warm as the June day last year when I rode it. I was freezing when I got off of it, but it was well worth it.

drummermattk Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 So something i saw yesterday while walking around was that there where literally almost NO scareactors walking around when Haunt started at 6 o'clock , and none of the mazes outside opened till i think 8:30? But I did find something when i was in Diamondback's store. This something was a 4 piece dot magnet set that said "Fear The Four" the four listed being Beast, Firehawk, Vortex and yes the unloved Son Of Beast. One last thing i noticed yesterday was that they use the old Flight Commander Queue line building for overflow from Killmart's line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
