cromowl Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi Guys, We are coming over from the UK and staying with our good friends in Louisville. We will be travelling over to KI for our first ever visit on Sunday 4 May. Looking at the posts above will Sunday be equally as busy as Saturdays? Are we better purchasing a FL or FLP before we arrive or can we purchase them on the day? During our vacation we are starting out at Six Flags Great Adventure, and also completing our tour at Six Flags Great America. Should be a great trip.

Diamondbacker27 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi! Sundays are busy, but usually not as busy as Saturdays from my experience. If I were you FLP would be the better option, only because it has more rides. You can purchase them online or at the front gate, it's whatever floats your boat. If you are arriving early in the morning when they open, I would get them at the front gate. If you are arriving in the afternoon they may be sold out at that time. Kings Island is my favorite amusement park and I hope you enjoy your trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajfelice Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I didn't think the number of trains debate would continue on this far. I thought it was quite obvious there would be three trains from the start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Also, this just in: the track will be a purple-ish red and the supports will be blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Kings Island is getting the longest invert in the world for 2014. Also, I heard Cedar Fair may purchase the Paramount parks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishCasual Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I wonder when The Bat will start testing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 ^Probably some time around next week, given that they are only 17 days away until media day, when Bat will be operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I didn't think the number of trains debate would continue on this far. I thought it was quite obvious there would be three trains from the start? THIS. Not to mention, the theoretical capacity is somewhere around 1600 pph, right? There's no possible way you could do that with 2 trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewalk13 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) I like the light fixture and wrought iron fence. I hope to see more of this! From KI's Twitter: http://t.co/hOcKFWPIqN Edited March 31, 2014 by firewalk13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 That theming looks nice! Also, that picture really shows the terrain difference that Banshee utilizes. That's going to be a nice drop off the zero-g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Adam Your visiting in early May, which will result in small crowds, especially if you arrive at opening. Regardless, all line skipping options will not sell out this early in the season , so feel out the park and then decide. No need to spend and potentially waste your money in advance. You can buy the day of at all parks your visiting. One thing to consider, Goliath at Great America is to open late May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&MBoy1982 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 ^Probably some time around next week, given that they are only 17 days away until media day, when Bat will be operating. Location training for Drop Tower / Bat crew is on Saturday the 12th. Initial testing should begin soon as the state has to certify it before it can carry guests.

rcjp Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I love when you can walk around, under, and get quite close to the ride itself. Makes for great picture angles and builds up the anticipation even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterlover420 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I didn't think the number of trains debate would continue on this far. I thought it was quite obvious there would be three trains from the start? Nobody believes official announcements. They're not credible anymore. Not to mention, the theoretical capacity is somewhere around 1600 pph, right? There's no possible way you could do that with 2 trains. The load interval is going to be like 30 seconds. I'm tasting pancakes already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
