^haha That's too funny. That would be nice for it to stay that way but there's still what, 18 days left? Good luck!

I was on the Flight Deck crew this post season and yes FD did close early on Saturdays (I think it was around 6 or 7) and did not open at all on Fridays during the Haunt. Club Blood's line would reach pretty far down the FD queue. I hated telling families with children that it was closed. It is one of the few rides with small lines and great for families. I wish there was some way to work around the Club Blood's line.

Absolutely amazing. I would have never thought this much money would be raised. I am so happy for A Kid Again that 100% will be given to them. Amazing everybody, especially in this time, I'm speechless.

I know this was already posted but here it is again in the Kings Island Insider. Kings Island Insider:

^Yeah for summer reason that sticks out. I have only had one night ride, waited 3 hours for it. I remember it being amazing though! I have never been on TTD though. Might change this summer!

The Beast is the most amazing of them all from what I have experienced. For some reason Kingda Ka come to mind. The picture for the launch is really fun to watch at night because it is like a strobe light and the way it catches the train is pretty cool. I also love Son of Beast on a nice cool night during the Haunt real late when the park is empty. Fun to see the whole park filled with fog.

Thanks everyone who enjoyed the photos! I was just informed that the first photo is actually from Carowinds not Kings Island. Sorry.

Ahahaha! I love that song! Andy Samberg is amazing.

You think in that top left corner where the concrete extends up to the building might be some kind of snack bar like they have in Nitro, El Toro's queues?

Does anyone know what those white things are outside of the DB entrance. There's like 4 in the middle of the path and then a couple more to the right of them.

Those are great! I love the lap bars. I also like the 2 across seating rather than the other boats that are 4 across. Can't wait to see some footage!

When I would go to break and clock out next to that sign I would try to set it to the right time. But in order to do that employees have to enter through the gate and employees only.

If you are a local I would say go for it on opening day. However since you are so far away I think making a two day trip the next weekend would be a little bit more enjoyable.

I only worked the post season so I didn't get to experience too much. I don't think I ever noticed a guest closing or opening switchbacks them self but I think I would rather do it myself. It's not the guests job to maintain the ride area, it is the ride associates so I guess I would just prefer the guest to try and keep the area clean and the ride associate and to the rest.

Aren't there switchbacks inside the station just like The Beast? I'm not so sure about Diamondback being too far into the midway past opening day. Have you ever seen a B&M hyper line move? Ignore the rest of the stuff in this video besides the line. It isn't mine, just found it when browsing.

You made Terpy happy!!! Congratulations!

^For my crew at SOB/Deck it was never a problem. But when I was a sent at Delirium on busy days I would keep asking if I should open up another switchback and they would always just give me a shrug. Lame story but just kinda proving your point.

I hope they are right because that is most likely when I will get to ride if I don't work an all day on opening day. So is this just an optional switchback that they will be able to open if needed or will it continue down and the line cross further down underneath the lift?

^I was going to say the same thing. That price includes a lot of great things. This sounds great but I doubt I will be taking part in anything like this. Money is tight right now.

^Don't hurt me I just wanted to do good! I don't think I've been called whippersnapper for a while.

S&S Swings are amazing IMO! Lightnin' and Thunder at Lake Compounce was just so much fun. I would love to hear that sound at Kings Island while strolling down the midway.

That was also Season Pass Preview night if I'm not mistaken.

I think that would bring attendance down a lot in the post season and that is just not what the park wants to do in these times. However, I could totally be wrong and the park could actually bring in more money if they force guest to pay extra admission and get more money out of that. Who knows?

^Ohhh that was King Cobra in the background. Duhh. Ok thank you!
