Hi all! I will be bringing my boyfriend to KI on labor day, and was considering getting the fast lane passes. It’s his first time in Ohio, and I was just wondering if splurging on the fast lane passes will be worth it? And, will it be extremely busy that day?(probably, since it’s a holiday, right?)
For the first time, we are going to a theme park without kids or grandkids. I used to go to KI in the 70s and 80s, but not since. We don't want to go upside down on rides, but will do The Beast and Racer as my partner has never been on either.
We would like to have some of the better food options and other experiences that would make it a pleasant day for a couple who are a little slower now?
Am I crazy, or was the soft serve at King's Island about 5-10 years ago way better?
I vividly recall the soft serve being perfectly formed, rich in flavor, smooth while containing zero large ice granules, and more so resembling a DQ soft serve visually (if that makes sense?).
Now the ice cream at King's Island reminds me of soft serve from a buffet; thin coiled tube, little flavor, icy, etc.
There’s gonna be so much land available if both Congo and drop tower reach there ends. I think it would be cool for a return from the generic action movie theme to a more modern theme. Something to tie all the excising rides together in a central theme. This might be a little more interesting to watch as a lot of land will be open. I think action movies is over saturated as a theme.
1:00PM they were working on the ride it looks like its motor stalled
Anyone see this happen lol?
Hello, I'm thinking about switching my six flags season souvenir cup to the paper cup. It will be my first time visiting KI too. How do I get it changed? Do I need to bring in the souvenir cup on the day to switch it over? Thanks in advance!
I watched the theme of Brandon video on these costers . I was wondering, if there are any videos online of the ride specifically in a first person perspective.
I swear to God it comes to a near full stop on the trims after the airtime hills, but yesterday we carried like 20mph through it. And the drop into the double helix barely had trims at all. Were they cutting trims to decrease the cycle times because it's on 2 trains right now?
My home park is Cedar Point. I have only been to Kings Island once. I have some PTO to use from work and was thinking about going in September but I noticed that they were closed 90% of the month. Why are they closed from the 8th to 24th ? Do they do the weekends similar to? Halloweekends at Cedar Point or is it only certain days? I am not big into the haunted mazes but I like the ambiance that you get in frontier town late at night at Cedar Point. Originally I was going to try and do a Thursday evening/night then Friday morning and head home after maybe hitting the Cincinnati zoo. But with the limited days I'm not sure I can make it work.
Who all likes The Beast? It's my favorite wooden roller coaster. I rode it on June for the 1st time in years. The lift hills and tunnels are my favorite parts of the ride. I was expecting it to be rough, but it was smooth
Am i having a stroke? Everywhere i look on the KI website i cant seem to get a park ticket for the Halloween weekends. It doesnt the dates as available
man i was just sitting here reminiscing about the Vortex. so sad i’ll never get to ride it again or even look at it lol. how awesome would it be if they built a second version, still 6 loops for sure. i just miss it so bad and am dying to know what they’re doing with the old lot.
Hello! I am visiting Kings Island tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had any insight on if I would have issues getting on any rides. I am attending with my partner and they said that they won’t ride anything without me, and I don’t want to make us wait in long lines for me not to get on a ride.
I am a 5’11” male and between 270-280 pounds. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
EDIT: Thank you everyone for your replies! I was able to ride everything I was trying to get on (Banshee, Delirium, The Bat, The Beast, The Racers, Woodstock Express, Mystic Timbers, and Phantom Theatre). I fit in both seats of the Banshee, and Mystic Timbers was tight but the operator had me cross my legs and was able to get the click.
I've been going back and forth about taking my daughter and a few of her friends on Saturday. What should we bring if it rains? Do they allow umbrellas? Should we just bring ponchos. Does wearing a poncho on a ride make it kinda of slippery lol? What other tips do you have for visiting in the rain?
Will be attending both tomorrow and wondering
I know it's been talked about to death, and surely we would've already seen land clearing, construction and teasers for the potential ride by now.
What are the odds that a major thrill ride/ coaster does come in 2027? Or is the general thought that 2028 or 2029 will be the year they do it?
I've planned for months for this trip to Kings island, I'm from Louisville 2 hours away, planned to go to the park for 4 days, bought season passes and everything. The whole week is ruined because of these stupid storms. Does anyone know if Kings Island refunds season passes because of the rain? This was the only week I can be here, I have to leave this weekend and go back to work next week. What a depressing turnout.
