Hello all; I was debating whether or not to take photos today, but after it being a HOT, and CROWDED day I had nothing better to do with my spare time. Today I had the opportunity to go to Kings Island. Yes, it was hot and yes it was crowded but besides those issues I had a GREAT time at the park.

To start off my day I woke up at 6:30 to already here my dad up and getting ready as I am usually the one waking him up. So we all got showered up and lefted Northern Kentucky around 7. we stopped and got ice to keep our drinks cool and we headed to the Island of Kings. We got to Kings Island around 8 and decided to drive down to kings mills mcDonalds. We got back to the parking lot area around 8:30. They opened the lot a few minutes later and we dashed to GP parking Row 51.

(about 30 minutes later)

They finally let us in the park at 9:01!!!( wasting valuable ERT time!) and I Casually walked back to beast. When I got back there I was surprised to see myself as the 1^st public rider of the day!. This ride in particular ended up being my 1^st ZEN ride. For some who dont know, a Zen ride is when its You and the coaster, nobody else. I was driving The Beast through the woods for 4:55 seconds!. Since it was still morning the ride was moving pretty slow but I dont care, I still can have an enjoyable ride on that wicked coaster.

Beast 11/10!

After about 6 ERT rides my dad and I decided to head over to Delirium since it was about 10:01. I wanted to ride this ride because I heard it was faster, longer and went higher and boy were they right!! Delirium 10/10! waited about 20 minutes

After that it was around 10:30 and we saw Drop Tower was still closed, but as we were getting ready to leave AZ we saw the gates open so we walked to DT and got 1^st cycle of the day.

DT=9/10 Walk on

while on DT I looked around the park to see a almost filled lot at 10:30! so I then looked over to see FH line to see a quick wait. So we headed over to X-Base.

But on the way we looked to see a line for AE to the entrance sign, Racer only running red side and line into Midway, but on the bright side a VERY clean Coney Mall!

As we entered X base we walked over to FH to see no line however when we looked again it was about a 30 minute wait, I am sorry but thats just way too long to wait in the blistering sun, SO we went to FOF where the line was barely past the stairs, but the crew was VERY slow at dispatching trains. Overall a good coaster.

FOF 7/10 = 25 minute wait.

Ok since I am lazy and VERY tired right now I am going to end with a quick overall of my day and get to the pictures tommorrow.

Vortex 9/10 35 minute wait

eifel tower 5 minutes

grand carousel 2 minutes.

PICTURE TIME! tomorrow

Thanks for reading. Dustin Sexton (Kiruler102)

Yes, it's very easy to get time with The Beast during ERT. Everyone seems obsessed to get their 50th, 500th, 5000th ride on Diamondback. I'd rather ride The Beast...

When I have my driver's license I'm going to head to Kings Island on a cool April Saturday. I'm going to head for The Beast at 9 o'clock and marathon it all day to see how many rides I can get.

Picture Time this isnt working i will just post a link to my pictures on my Facebook profile. Thanks.

...as if everyone has Facebook or even can.

Sigh.

you can still look at my photos even without a facebook. the pics are set to public view.

If that doesnt work here is my photobucket profile.

A link to the public Facebook page (wall) would also have helped!

The photobucket link takes me to YOUR log in page...and although it supposedly allows one to look at your album, it requires a password. So, still, no pictures!

Nice trip report cuz, tell your dad I said hi!

Terpy, does this work?

Nope...that's a log in page for Facebook.

Unless you have FB page you will not be able to see it most likely, I can see it fine...

There is a way to post things on Facebook so the great unwashed can see them.

And not everyone has a Facebook account. If you read the terms of service, you might not want one either. You are basically trusting that company with your personal information...and someday they can and probably will do with it whatever they wish.

I give up terpy sorry.
