Does anybody think the weather is going to be good the opening day at Kings Island? What do you think?

I'm predicting either cold and rainy or hot and sunny. Maybe somewhere in between, like warm and mild with a slight breeze. Could even be some snow. For April in Ohio it could be any one of these scenarios, so pick your favorite one and keep your fingers crossed!

I think the weather will be what you make of it

If it rains, ah well, I sit back under Festhaus with a pile of Orange Chicken and a beer, sounds great to me

If it's warm and sunny, I'll be on Eiffel Tower admiring the view and some awesome memories.

The Beast was “unchained” in a steady downpour on Friday, April 13, 1979, for hundreds of media representatives from around the U.S. and Great Britain.

I'll be there rain or shine most likely. I'm taking a vacation day at work, so I have the whole day. I definitely want to be there and hopefully get a ride on Banshee as well. Getting excited!

I will most likely be there as well, rain or shine!

However, it is still to early to tell what the weather will be like 20 plus days away. The predictions are made based on last year around the same time. They are also just predictions.

www.weather.com is a great tool when planning a theme park trip.

I'm personally the type who likes days that start rainy and clear up mid-morning or early afternoon. That's a sure-fire way to ensure minimal crowds. That happened at Kennywood last year on a Saturday in July and Phantom's Revenge was a walk-on all day!

We get what we get.

Right now the super inaccurate super early prediction from Accuweather.com is 67 and rain for Media Day and 68 and "a little morning rain" on opening day. I will be there both days, rain or shine I've been to cold rainy opening days before. They aren't much fun but make for very light crowds and super short lines for when it finally stops raining and rides open!

The weather will be something that is appropriate for the season during April.

^ The weather today is not appropriate for late March.

April weather can be highly variable in this region. Upper 80s and sunshine is possible. As is lower 20s and 3" of snow.

Today is today, tomorrow is tomorrow, and so on and so forth. It has snowed in April before, the same for March, the season has seen this before, and therefore it will be appropriate for the Cincinnati "Bi-polar weather" that we call natural.

No one knows truly where this wind will go, but hey, let's go follow it for a little while and see where it goes!

^ The weather today is not appropriate for late March.

I went down and did some go-karting this afternoon. Temperature was in the mid-30s. After letting my car sit in the sun for an hour and a half, it got so hot inside that on the subsequent drive to Panda Express, I was sweating despite having removed my coat and rolled my sleeves up.

In summary, I would say that the weather is confused.

You can def tell that the sun is getting closer to us. The sun is getting warm.

^^You should have let me know you were going Karting..I have one race on my account from a few weeks ago..

And 31 was your best time..sheesh

Ohio's logic:

Sit outside and you freeze; sit inside a car and you burn up.

Sometimes, I just don't understand :/

April showers bring May flowers!

The strong March sun made it feel a lot nicer than low 30s in the winter. Unfortunately, it couldn't do much to increase the air temperature.

^^^ & ^^^^^ Did you two get the March e-mail from the karting place? This month, you can buy one pack of races and split them to save money.

I just hope the weather will be decent for opening weekend. I want to enjoy my b-day weekend not getting soaked lol.

Yeah, I can't seem to break out of the 31s. I'm thinking about looking into a private lesson later in the summer if my times stay there.

malem, I got that email, but it's for annual members only. I do have a membership, but I don't think Devan does.

Devan definitely has a membership.

I still haven't been back since the February meetup. Sometime, I have to get there to see if I can manage a decent time.

Yeah I'm a member, and yeah I split a race pack with a friend, we bought 10 races, only cost me a little over 60 I think, great deal.

I'll probably go back here next check to do the exact same thing. If not even buying 120 worth of races and just sitting them down on the account is great.

But mid/low 29s on the profile..need to break 29

Keep in mind that the splitting deal is only good through the end of the month. Next month will feature a different member deal.

Yup..why I'd buy the race pack and cash them in on my account

Let em just sit there..They had no problem just putting the last race back on my account, I didn't have to register it like it said

If you check the history of Good Friday in the Cincinnati area, it will rain sometime during the day. It might be sunshine to start but clouds will roll in and then the rain will come, it is a given on Good Friday. Walking the steps at the Holy Cross Immaculata it has always rained sometime during the day. Sorry don't mean to be a negative Nancy but I still will be there enjoying the day !

Yeah, I bought a three-race pack yesterday and only used one. The other two are sitting there ready for whenever I decide to go back.

Just for fun, here are observations from ten years of Cincinnati weather on April 18. Let's hope this trend continues!

• 2013: Hi 81° Lo 61° (dry)
• 2012: Hi 69° Lo 44° (dry)
• 2011: Hi 74° Lo 50° (trace rain)
• 2010: Hi 61° Lo 35° (dry)
• 2009: Hi 75° Lo 43° (dry)

81? What is that?

Looks like 2014 will be dry!

Trends show that 2015 on April 18th will undoubtedly be rainy.. but not very rainy.



Case closed.
