DoinItForTheFame 3 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 ... So...maybe we should all take all things all employees say with a teeny tiny grain of salt. Lol *GASP* How dare you?!?!? Don’t you know, if the Dip N’ Dots guy said it.... It’s 100% true?!?!?! Link to post Share on other sites
prozach626 71 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 ^It wasn't the dip n dots dude. It was a "quality" employee. (just kidding around with you a bit, OP) Link to post Share on other sites
PKI Jizzman 16 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Is T4 a long running joke like Magnum sinking our are they really trying again to make T3 better with different trains?

Waltrane 0 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I went there to Kentucky Kingdom today and it’s more like Covid Kingdom. Masks and social distancing definitely was not enforced at all. I spoke with management about it and she blamed me for not reporting it (except that’s why I was talking to her.) I was there a whopping thirty minutes and left after being denied a refund. I was really looking forward to riding Storm Chaser but it’s not worth it after that level of poor customer service. Link to post Share on other sites
mikeykaise 1 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 ^ I agree with this to a certain extent, I'm glad it's so much closer to my house (like just 10 mins) but with as slow as the ques can be, and all the obnoxious teens dropped off to run wild. I'd rather go to Holiday World, that's a much better day out for the family. Link to post Share on other sites

Wow I can't believe you left so quickly. usually the back corner by Storm Chaser is dead. You should of been easily been able to social distance your self there. Link to post Share on other sites

I was there a few Sundays ago and got six zen rides first thing in the morning before anyone else even made it back to that part of the park. Personally, poor customer service would never stop me from getting a ride on a great RMC especially if I've already paid to get in. Link to post Share on other sites
boldikus 95 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yeah Waltrane that's some Karen level behavior right there. Calm down, put yet mask on and ride the dang RMC. Link to post Share on other sites
jconsolmagno 5 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Flying into Louisville for my first trip to Kentucky Kingdom Friday. This is the best year to be an enthusiast, cheap hotels and cheap flights. Knocked a lot of "new" parks out for me, excited to see what Kentucky Kingdom has to offer this weekend.

tndank 16 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Just in case you didn't know, Holiwood Nights is Fri and Sat at Holiday World. KK has their own event on Sunday, as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Midgetman82 0 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Just FYI: Tickets still going on for Sunday's event, and no coaster club membership required. https://shop.kentuckykingdom.com/webstore/shop/viewitems.aspx?CG=specialevents&c=keystokingdom Link to post Share on other sites
jr7010337 0 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Had a great time at SFKK last August. I only had a few hours before my flight out of Louisville, it was raining, and I was soaked... but I had a great time. Operations were a little slow, but then again, there were probably fewer than 100 people at the park. And everyone was polite. The woman at the parking booth called me "honey," and Bugs and Daffy gladly took a picture with a crazy, soaked out-of-towner. Link to post Share on other sites
tanthonyam 1 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 My first time visit to KK was a couple of weeks ago. I could not believe how cheap the flight was to Louisville, and park tickets were super cheap also. Oh and this park is very close to the airport! Just a few miles away. I decided to go for it even though it was going to be over 85 degrees. Let's just say I made good use of the waterpark. I was impressed with the wave pool and I could have stayed in the lazy river all day. The dry park was ok I guess for a small city park. The coasters were fun but did not really blow me away. The RMC and Chance coasters were the best there. The woody Thunder Run was average at best and was horrible in the back seat. T3 rattled too much, and almost made me puke. Well it could have been the heat too. I am not used to being at parks in the summer heat. Spending the rest of the day in the waterpark helped out perfectly. I felt much better after a while. Kentucky Flyer was ok, but its really a family coaster. I shied away from the new enterprise ride they had with floorless seats. I thought the heat and the spinning would not work well together. If you are driving thru I guess its worth a visit, but its not a destination park unless you throw in Holiday World in Indiana also which is about a hour and a half away. Much better wood coasters there! Anyway on to the pics. I go there so early nobody charged me for parking. Pretty average entrance plaza. Nice touch. Not very busy in the morning. Most all rides were walk on. It was hot! I find it hilarious they have spectator bleachers for a Super Loop/Fireball ride. Skipped it due to it being too hot. Skipped this too, but really wanted to try these new style Enterprise rides. I do like the look of these seats. This park actually has a road running thru it. They had attendants stopping cars to let pedestrians cross over. I swear this was the loudest lift hill in the park. That thing was noisy! This road splits the park. I was told this ride came from King's Island. Walk on. Average at best. Another walk on! You can get right up close to the ride right outside the park. I was able to get some good shots. ehhhhh Another walk on, for obvious reasons. I found the restraints to be a bit unusual. This was actually quite relaxing, and the air helped. The park does have a few shady areas. Added plus was the waterpark included in the already cheap admission. You can get very close to this coaster right outside driving by. That's all!

grsupercity 9 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I enjoyed your report and I really like KK. I thought for a small park there coaster line up beats any other small park around Link to post Share on other sites
mikeykaise 1 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 The bleachers are leftovers from the Drag Racing attraction that used to be where Eye of the Storm is now. There were like 4 different strips or lanes if I remember correctly and you could race against people in a drag race complete with staging lights. It was pretty cool honestly if you like drag racing.

SharkTums 135 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 ^I liked the drag race attraction, there were some decent G-Forces and really good acceleration. Link to post Share on other sites
PKI Jizzman 16 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I just looked it up. 0-70! In 2000 that was very solid. Looks like it was an upcharge due to capacity. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to post Share on other sites
