Password121 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 ^Should I anticipate larger crowds because of the holiday the following Monday and longer hours, or comparable to most Fridays? I'm trying to determine if this is the best day to go for a long day of riding and decent lines for Haunt mazes as I'm somewhat flexible in my schedule.

mike541x Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 ^If you get there early enough, you should have no problem with lines. Last time I went to Haunt two years ago, my friends and I had no problem re-riding most of the rides there until 7 or 8, that's when it starts to get crowded. If worse comes to worst and you got extra money, there's always Fast Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Kings Dominion won't be opening tonight due to the bad weather, but they're planning to keep their Saturday and Sunday schedules (but that could change, too). Â Just a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeansproutMidget Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Figured. The weather here is pretty bad, with the rain and all. I hope at least Sunday's open: I was planning to head down for some quick rides on drop tower, FoF, and I305 (maybe) in the rain. If not, I got some football to watch...

coneyislandchris Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I could be mistaken, but I remember hearing that FoF is closed for Haunt (they're using that building for one of the Haunt attractions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â FOF is usually open during Haunt until 5 or 6, then it gets shut down for the Haunt attraction. Same deal with Hurler I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 ^Club Blood is located in the Hurler turnaround, so, yep, no hurlin' during Haunt. I hope that Lockout is better than the "space alien" maze that used to be in the FOF queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The park has posted on its Facebook page that it's closing at 6:00 due to the weather. So, no Haunt tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virus Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Wow! Today was the deadest I've seen a park... Every coaster was walk-on front, including Volcano! There were more employees then people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Password121 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 In few days I'll be ordering a 2016 Platinum pass. Looking on the website it says Platinum passes include early entry--does KD have early entry? Is this separate from the 30 minute early entry for Dominator that day ticket guests have access to? Â Speaking of, looking at using the free 2015 visit on Friday. With the park opening at 10:30, is the Dominator early entry still valid during Haunt? Thanks everyone.

cfc Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 ^Passholder early entry usually gets you Volcano and I305 before regular ticketed guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 ^Passholder early entry usually gets you Volcano and I305 before regular ticketed guests. Fantastic, thanks! Â For anyone that knows, does a 2016 platinum pass with dining include 2 meals at all CF parks, or just KD? If it includes all its a great deal as I'm looking at doing a Cedar Point/Kings Islamd trip in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejot Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 No special knowledge here but just going by the ticket sales site, it appears to be the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill_s Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Went Sunday evening, man was it empty. A few things closed (Cornstalkers) but otherwise park was putting out the effort. Thing was, it was correct for the park to be open because the weather was in no way bad enough to justify closing. In fact, it could easily end up being colder every remaining weekend of Haunt. I'm guessing it was a solid month of good weather followed by a full weekend of gray depressing that caused this result. Â They were doing a vote for best house on the way out. I should have actually voted Lockdown because the guards were funny and I noticed an area with 2-floor scenery, very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Since the ride is still open during the day during Haunt season it doesn't really bother me that it's closed at night. I wish Flight of Fear didn't close though as its one of the best rides in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude28 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 For those of you familiar with the park crowds, do you think this upcoming Saturday or Sunday will be better during the day and during Haunt? Looks like a little rain in the diecast for Saturday which may help keep crowds down. Thoughts? Â Also, what is by best option for one day tickets? Any coupons at area stores that are better than online discounts? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 ^Saturday should be more crowded than Sunday. I would recommend getting Fright Lane if you go on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_s Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 KD has reduced Sunday haunts to 4 out of the 6 weekends because they are realizing it's less popular. They had originally tried cutting back Fridays but don't now. Still, people's responses to rain is unpredictable -- I wouldn't have even thought last Sat. would have been really dead. It's a day I avoid now so I don't know it well. With the current forecast I'd say Sat. night will still be crowded but that can change. This weekend also may be more crowded to make up for last, or lack momentum, that's unpredictable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Curious as to whether or not KD has onsite employee housing. I worked Valleyfair this summer and lived in their onsite housing and am looking to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
