How long are lines usually on a Friday

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337Z using Tapatalk

Usually longer than Thursdays, but shorter than Saturdays.  How's that?  

Banshee's line as of 11:15am 7-16-16

 

 

This shows what the line is doing, which rails are open. I'd say about 35 to 45 minute wait right now. 

Drop Tower is around 20 minutes of a wait.

At Dorney Park, most trains are going out have half full. No wait.

We'll be done here, including re-rides, soon. Next up, Lakemont Park - most likely.

When I was there at open I rode Hydra twice in a row then Steel Force once by myself. And I mean I was the only rider on the entire train It got Kings Island busy later though in relation to wait times.

Lakemont Park is also dead, for anyone keeping track. Ride operators waiting for riders.

hey all, I'd like to visit the park today and maybe get a midnight ride on something! But whether or not I visit could be depending on the heat or if this thread reports heavy crowds. I prefer sundays but alas, sundays aren't open until midnight.

 

So if anyone is at the park today and wouldn't mind telling about the crowds that would be nice or if anyone wants to share with me your tips on reading the crowds from home, like webcams perhaps? I've never known where to look for those (it's probably obvious though).

Anyone at the park? Pretty busy today?

^ If anyone is there the Medics are going to be very busy. I wouldn't be surprised if people are tumbling down the stairs on the slides at SC.

I just went out and installed a new antenna on my wife's car and my face hurts from the heat. Glad I bought tickets for Star Trek tonight.

Maybe that's what I will do.

Need to go see it.

I'm here. It's busy. Banshee was still only a five minute wait but I haven't tried to ride anything else yet. I've been here since 2, but I'm mostly all about cirque until 7:30.

It's also crazy hot

Soak City was packed today. The main park has shorter than normal Saturday lines.

Voyage- 15 minutes

Thunderbird- 25 minutes

Legend and Raven- 5-10 minutes when not closed, they've had trouble all afternoon

Isn't this thread supposed to be about Kings Island? Or are we listing the wait times for everything here now. If that's the case then the current wait time to check out at the Kroger by my house is 4 minutes.

Weekday crowds will start to lighten...some Indiana schools have started this week for the 2016-17 year. Another group of schools will start next week. Then, almost all remaining Indiana schools will be in session the week of August 8th. 

 

Do Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area schools follow a similar schedule? 

Most Ohio schools return to school in mid to late August.

Anyone at the park today? How are the lines? Thinking about going up to the park later for a couple of hours.

A great way to judge if the park is crowded or not is on Kings Island's webcam. They give a great peek at how long the lines are for Diamondback and Banshee. The link is below!

Yea that's what I did. At the park now. Currently, Beast is three lower switchbacks and no station switchbacks long. Diamondback is the entire perimeter line with no switchbacks. Vortex, Bat, Racer and AE pretty much walk ons. Banshee is about 5-10mins. FoF and BLSC are hour waits with Firehawk about 45mins.

Not the worst lines, but a little longer than I'd like.

Thank you for sharing this link! watching those live streams is really fun I wish there were more webcams. I see the Diamondback queues are about half full right now. Not as bad I would have suspected.

And looking at the Diamondback cam, it is a least an hour wait from there.  However, I can only see 2 trains running and what looks to be the 3rd in the shed.  Based on this, I would say 1.5 hours is the wait.

 

Backlot looks long as well.  I'd venture to say medium crowd size today

45 min wait @ longhorns.

I just drove by the park on my way home. Parking lot is the fullest I've seen all season.

Wonderful, talked Mom into coming with us tomorrow. Everybody getting out before school starts I suppose.

And it's not uncomfortably humid this weekend (unlike the last few)

In line for lightning rod. Test runs complete.

I went Saturday and Sunday.  Extremely busy.  We left early on Sunday.  Too darn hot and tired to wait 1+ hours per coaster.

 

I made the mistake of checking out the live stream as I sit behind my desk, sorting papers and answering emails.  ZERO lines for Diamondback and Banshee...others probably the same.  Work and school are over rated!

Park is quiet. Eerily quiet. Minimal waits. Rain looks promising. Maybe.

I don't blame people for not going. IT'S TOO FREAKIN HOT! I haven't been to Kings Island since the Mystic Timbers announcement and that was like two weeks ago already. Probably won't go back till they have the next big announcement later this month.
