Midgetman82 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I'm holding off on reserving a second day as well, maybe until after my first July 5th, before planning a second day. Want to make sure I can actually commit to it, haha. I'm going to hold out potentially for Saturday, July 11, the last day for season pass holder previews and still one of the least reserved dates so far.

Jason Maier Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I've been trying to look online for this without much success: Â Which coaster at King's Island had the highest ridership numbers for the 2019 season? My initial guess without having something to look at would be The Beast or Diamondback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 That's probably right. Both are capacity machines. Banshee is probably up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIEnthusiast Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 That's probably right. Both are capacity machines. Banshee is probably up there too. The park said they would release the numbers earlier this year—February, maybe? They still have not released the numbers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Wow, cool! That's a great touch that I'm sure most people weren't expecting. Very fitting for the theme too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Coaster Man Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Those light look pretty cool. The possibilities are endless. I hope more parks invest in lighting packages or just general stage lights beaming on track. Unless a coaster is heavily wooded, I think there should be lights throughout the layout.

AmyUD06 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Unfortunately, except for the 4th of July, the park won't be open late enough this year to actually experience it while on the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacherkim Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Reserved two spots for 10:30 on 7/29. While there are still plenty of spots left that far in advance, I did notice they had far less available for the morning slots than later in the day. They really seem to want to control the mob at the front gate. Will FINALLY get to process our plat passes that I purchased last August? September? Can't even remember, whenever the "sale" was going on. Will let everyone know how the day goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial guess without having something to look at would be The Beast or Diamondback. Â My guess would be Banshee. With the right crew, they can run three trains without stacking. I know that's not typical, but in the first year as soon as you pulled down your restraint a ride op would already be buckling your seatbelt. I'd never seen trains loaded that quickly until Fury's opening year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepoint4life23 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Does Kings Island have the same locker System as Cedar point were you buy one locker and can move your stuff to different locations all day for one price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I can't say for certain, but Dorney and KD have the same system, so I'd say it's a fair bet that KI uses the same system too. This question is also probably answerable on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haymaker Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Does Kings Island have the same fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo System as Cedar point were you buy one fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo and can move your stuff to different locations all day for one price? Â I only used it at Mystic Timbers last year but I dont recall it having that option. Might have been due to it being late in the day though.
