twisterbret Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Anyone know if Kings Island still does a morning Beast Walkback for the first ride? If so, does the person need to first go to guest services as it use to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I know Club TPR Members get the walkback and yes you go to GR first. I don't believe it's to Beast anymore though. Diamondback I want to say? And Windseeker once it's open I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I didn't think they still did the walk back as they have early rides for KI Gold Pass and CF Platinum Pass holders. Was at the park yesterday and as soon as the gates opened it was early rides on Diamondback and The Beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 ^Pretty sure that's what we're all talking about. It's just called something else now, but the end result is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcoaster 2 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I heard somewhere its gonna be Windseeker/Vortex once Windseeker opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPmaverick Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 ^Correct and until Windseeker opens, it's Diamondback and Beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Well, it's actually better than it used to be. Before, you got walked back to the first ride of the day. And presumably, you could get a ride or three in while the GP were running all the way back there. Now, there's actually a half hour of actual ERT for KI gold and Cedar Fair platinum passholders. I believe that they let both TPR and ACE members (and possibly other groups, but I'm not sure) in on that ERT session. Last year it was for both Beast and Diamondback. Last year, I had a CF platinum pass, so I just used that to get in. And I managed to get 3 or 4 rides on Diamondback before the GP rushed over. This year, the ERT may be changing to Windseeker (and possibly Vortex -- woo hoo!) Not that many people are gonna be wanting a handful of rides on Windseeker and Vortex. At least you'll still be faurther in the park than the GP when the rest of the park opens. So, presumably, you could still effectively get the Beast walkback by beating the others there.

coasterfreak101 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 ^Wait - so if I were to have a Platinum Pass from KD, I could still take advantage of the morning ERT? Because that would be very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
