JJLehto Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Nice! Yeah I had a wonderful time at KI, more than I expected. Park lived up to the hype, and I was shocked at how good the ops were. I went on a quiet day and not only was everything running 2 trains, the ops were not slacking at all. A+ I won't be going to coasterstock, but I will be stopping by KI after coastermania, and I am stoked. Been wanting to get back to this park.

Booked! I ended up using my Southwest credits for everything. Flying into Louisville on Thursday, doing Kentucky Kingdom, then driving to KI for Coasterstock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 It's totally worth it if you've never done an event at KI or did one a while ago. Going under Diamondback, back by the Beast, Banshee, in FoF are always a fun time and I'm sure there will be some cool new access to Orion. Maybe they'll use the old Dino alive path. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 ^ sounds like a lot of folks are excited about it. . . we shall see if able to get a ticket tomorrow EDIT: and . . done. Ticket bought, hotel booked. Now just have to get time off work, get flight/car, and I'll be able to knock Kings Island / the Beast off my bucket list! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Coasterstock is sooo much better than Coastermania at Cedar Point. It's the way Coastermania used to be years ago. Both are good, but this one is the best! I'll be at both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacherkim Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I hope none of us have problems getting tickets tomorrow. Particularly since I talked Bert into it!! My second hour class will just have to work on their own for about 15 minutes while I secure tickets, thankfully since this is my last year teaching no one is watching me at this point anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Coasterstock tix sold out in 15 minutes. Coastermania at C.P. are still available after being on sale for over 1 hour. What is this telling us??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Well, I was entertaining the thought (IDK where I'll be in July so trying not to plan that far out) but if its already sold out makes it easy lol I'll be doing KI this year anyway.

What is this telling us??? Could've had less in stock? It has a stronger base of passionate fans? I first went to Coastermania 2017 so I can't vouch for "it used to be better" I tend to dismiss that stuff as either nostalgia or some type of "ahhhhh I did before it was big/sold out" but hey works for me. Keep people away from Cedar Point make it better for me Speaking of going to KI, I see their fast lane plus is "going on sale soon". This means they are doing one? Anyone got any idea when they might go on sale? Last visit it was dead on a weekday but Im going later this time and I see schools are out so I'm worried about crowds.

KI's Fast Lane has said "on sale soon" pretty much since they closed last season. The only guaranteed way to get it right now is to add the All-Season, All-Park Fast Lane Plus to a Platinum Pass using one of the sites that's offering it (such as KD). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect capacity is a lot more than Coasterstock. Another point thing is timing. Coastermania is the same weekend as Holidwood Nights and Orlando Informer meetup at Universal, and coaster rodeo the following week. Lots of events happening in June.

Hmmm so thats added to my platinum pass? aka I get the fast lane for use at ANY of the Cedar Fair parks? If so....$299 is hefty but to use it for 4 or more parks not a bad deal tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitterOldHag Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 ^ The Platinum Pass FastLane Add On is $850, so it's a little pricier than the $299. I bought mine from Canada's Wonderlands site and that way you get the Canadian conversion rate (something like $675 instead). I plan on visiting CP and KI multiple times this season, plus make a trip to Carowinds, so I am looking forward to having FastLane already paid for. I am actually selfishly hoping that CP doesn't offer it to the GP this season. Everything would be a walk on as there were very few people with season long FastLane last year. I told a friend of mine that I had spent $800+ on a Platinum Pass and FL and was roundly laughed at. We'll see who's laughing when I walk past them in the Steel Vengeance line and get on twice before they even move. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added it to my Platinum as soon as they offered it last year after two kinda miserable trips to both CP and KI without it, and then got 3 days at each park with it. For me, that paid for itself. The fact that its valid all this year too is just icing on the cake. If you go to the parks enough it's doesn't work out that bad math-wise. Figure $150 a day at CP, $75-95 a day at KI or KD...you really only need like 7 days (or 5 to CP) to make it worthwhile. I've reached the point in my life where waiting with the public more than 15 minutes makes me want to blow my brains out, so it's completely invaluable to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only desire for single-day FL sales is for when I bring friends who don't have the same enthusiasm for parks as I do. Normally I spring for it for them, but dropping another thousand for someone else who won't go half the times that I do takes some thought. Though I have to say I'm surprised that CF hasn't caught on to the "trick" of buying Platinum Passes and add-ons through CW's site and started mandating that you "check in" with whatever park you bought the pass from first like SF and SEAS do.

Bc yeah I was like wtf thats a pretty great deal! How is it not already sold out??? That would be why XD 875 is..... a lot. Sadly too much for me. I'm a student, I have $ put away for this trip and exta ofc but that's too much for me. I'm with you my tolerance for waiting has gone down with time. If I had income coming in I'd throw that 875 and go enough to justify it but not in the cards this year. Ah well, part of my planning was to hit weekdays and try to do this off peak season to minimize crowds anyway so oof, yeah idk hopefully crowds will be tolerable anyway. Deff not worth it given my current state. If I could afford it oh I would totally!! Like the above comment said, would be able to blow by "GP" no more SV fast lane lines that are 45-60 minutes. Can't wait for things to return to fully normal! For now though I shall risk the normal lines and hope good timing will shine upon me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Weekdays in July and August, if anything like last year, should be manageable. I think the longest I waited for anything at KI was an hour for Beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, normally I'd not have any concern and last time I did this (visiting KI after Coastermania) the park was pretty dead. Was wonderful. With protocols and all ya know, tad more anxious but ultimately not gunna sweat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert425 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 wonder what the total attendance was set at? Did they attempt to keep it smaller, and hence sold out so quickly? hope to meet up with some of my fellow TPR folks while there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it sold out just as fast last year when we had no idea that things would go south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
