Here's a question for someone in the know - let's say a train gets stuck on a lift hill and riders have to be evacuated. How do they perform this task for someone who is paraplegic and must have a wheelchair?

^ Nailed it!

Here in Lexington, Kroger sells tickets much cheaper than at the park window. I want to say it's around $30 per ticket.

I get very disoriented after riding it 4 or more times in a row, almost to the point of passing out. But then again, I do have low blood pressure like the poster above.

I'm keeping count of Banshee rides...currently at 26

I know the fire was working on 5/14 when we went. I didn't notice it last weekend, though.

This is one of those ' LOL' moments.

Yesterday was my sixth trip this season and besides being busier, it wasn't out of the ordinary. You have to expect that with a larger crowd, you're going to have more of those people.

There was a lift next to Shake, Rattle and Roll yesterday. I'd say just maintenance.

Shake, Rattle and Roll was closed today and had the same sign.

Same here. It was definitely worth the price. They even provided drinks and dessert.

Anyone heard anything about a second fire in a pump house? Just saw it on Twitter. Edit - nevermind. Just saw the post above.

Awesome news.

I don't remember seeing reports of smoke outside of the ride building last time.

Is it 7 seconds or a fast count to 7? I rode it many years ago and I'm thinking of riding it again Sunday.

Saw them Sunday over by Banshee/Delirium. Nice touch.

How large are these LIM motors? I'm just trying to get a feel for their size.

We went yesterday and got our Gold Passes processed at 9:15 AM. Took approximately 5 minutes to get 4 passes processed. We got in 3 rides on Banshee during ERT.

Makes sense. You learn something new every day. Thanks for the knowledge.

Rode The Beast today and the first lift hill was excruciatingly slow...nothing like in this video. Took nearly 2 minutes to reach the top.

Yep. Prior to this year, Kings Island was a once-per-year experience for us, being that we live in Lexington and don't find a lot of time in the summer to make the almost 2 hour drive. With gold passes, we're now going to be going at least twice a month including Halloween Haunt. I guess I've just never had an opportunity to learn where all of the old ride locations used to be

The ride ops for Banshee are super efficient. I think this is due to two reasons: 1) No bins-people go straight for their seat, and 2) they tell you to just sit in your seat and not touch anything, while they fasten you up and make sure everything is ready to go.

Who is upset with the free food? We very much appreciated it. Especially the cold bottled water.

I was offered those as well. Forgive me for my ignorance, but it was served at the tables on a concrete pad for an old ride.

Quick question from a Gold Pass newbie - I have my Gold Pass voucher printed out and have not had a chance to get my card. I noticed that Season Pass processing is listed as being open during park hours (10 AM). If I take my voucher through the gate for the first time pass before getting my card, will the ride OPs allow me to participate in the ERT for Banshee? Or do I have to have the card? Does season pass processing start any earlier than 10 AM?
