p. 832: Camp Snoopy announced for 2024!

Recommended Posts

Went to the park for my first visit of the season today. A little rainy but that made for a fantastic day, hardly anyone there! Banshee, Diamondback, Backlot, Beast, Vortex, Drop Tower, Windseeker all were walk ons. Flight of fear was only 5 minutes and Firehawk was at around 40 minutes, didn't go on it. Bat was 15 or so but it was only running 1 train. Park looked great even on the bleak day. Also did the Skyflyer twice thanks to it only being $5 a ride, pretty great deal. Also tried the soccer challenge under Diamondback, really was a lot of fun, way better than the 3 point contest.

Visited the park for the first time on Sunday. I'll be writing up a whole trip report later, but I just wanted to say, I had an absolutely fantastic time at this park. Great collection of rides and it was a total pleasure to walk around. Definitely looking forward to visiting again in the future!

You picked a good day with the chilly temps and wind. Walk on for most things while we were there.

Anybody here that went to coasterstock last year that wants to tell me what kind of crowds to expect during both the normal days and ERT?

 

There were a little over 500 people who went last year. ERT was a walk on for the majority of rides. Smaller rides popular with enthusiasts for example Woodstock Gliders had the longest lines during ERT. But big coasters like The Beast were running trains with very few people on them. I rode The Beast by myself, great chance to get front row night rides, although you might have to wait if you want the front row.

 

It was warmer last year so I do not expect it to be as busy during the day. But Saturday might be 45 minute to hour waits for the popular rides. Food lines have been horrible this year.

Ok thanks! I'm thinking the even itself will be a little more crowded this year since it's popularity is growing. Either way it seems that a lot of night rides on beast are in my future!

 

That's a shame about the food lines. Hopefully we get lucky and catch them at a good time. We love the chicken at Chicken Shack so we'll probably wait either way lol.

So far this season the food lines are running 30 minutes to an hour on weekends. I have read reports on other sites about people saying some locations are running 90+ minutes. But I have yet to wait in a food line that long. But I have personally had waits of more than 45 minutes. A few weeks ago I just walked in and turned around and walked right back out of the Festhaus because the lines for both food locations stretched from one side of the building to the other. Which does mean that the food lines take longer then the ride lines.

I would never wait in more than a 15-20 minute line for food in an amusement park, no matter how hungry I was!

 

+1, which is why we always eat outside of the park. 1st meal: healthy prepared cooler lunch. 2nd meal: usually chicken wings and beer somewhere within 20 minutes of the park. In the case of KI, it's always Roosters (knockoff hooters).
