The longest I waited today was Mystic at around 55 minutes.  Beast was around 30 and everything else I did was less than 20. 

Mystic Timbers was around 20 during ERT but is fIllinois fast. Diamondback is around 30 minutes

Filling fast

I'm just watching the webcams, but I'm surprised it's so busy this early on a school-day!

There are a lot of school groups here making lines longer. Banshee, Beast, DB and Timbers with 20-30 minute waits.

It is math/science day today.

^But there are more school groups than what normally show up.

Malem and I are at Cedar Point and Maverick is a walk on.

There's a big difference between the lines on rides.  Vortex, Bat and Racer are short, more popular rides are quite longer.

Sick invite! But seriously enjoy it before it goes down.

Food lines are atrocious. CM Skyline is past Scrambler, Juke Box and RT LaRosa's are blocking the midway.

Come on Kings Island!

And the coney island drink stand just shut down

I don't think it was ever open so far today.

Just to give you guys an idea of how many school groups are here, the entire lot made for buses is filled with buses for the school groups.

It feels like a slightly less busy Sunday.

Starting to feel a bit jealous of malem and pianoman, though I get Dixie Chili and an awesome movie later.

Drop Tower is stuck with riders about 200 ft up.

The only drink stand that was open as of 1 was the one by Diamondback.

Just relaxing by the fountain until 3:45, leaving for Newport then.

Diamondback is down. Standing on the top landing, I can see Drop Tower sitting there

Is it me? I have not seen Vortex run or Flying Ace aerial chase 

Right now all rides are down. Drop Tower riders have been about 3/4 of he way up the tower for 20+ minutes. Not sure what the issue is. Food operations are going as normal (slow). In line for about 30 minutes for Chicken Shack. Most rides, before the issue, were running 15-50minute waits.

Dang, glad we left.

Diamondback is doing morning test cycles now

I stopped in for lunch and coaster earlier. Firehawk was about 50 minutes. Chick-Fil-A was sloooow. Close to 35 minutes. I understand that there were significant school crowds today, but food services has got to up their game a bit. Not sure if it is training, lack of staff, or apathy.

Hoping to head back with the family this evening, but will likely spend the whole time in Planet Snoopy.

Also - ride times in the app were not working earlier. Hope the get that fixed.

Did the park decide to stop working after I left?

As for the slow ride ops at nearly every ride, I caught on that a lot were new trainees, hence the slow day despite the school group apocalypse.

BTW Beast was down for the first hour after the park opened.  It's been a weird day for ride operations.

Also, the first MT train with riders during ERT didn't pull out of the station until 945.

I forgot to mention the really slow times between cycles. We only got a few rides in but Surf Dog and Viking Fury took several minutes longer than usual between cycles. You could definitely tell there were a lot of people in training today.

Mystic Timbers is about full que now as is Diamondback. Food lines are pretty long as well. We ate late and Rivertown laRosas was still 20 minutes.  Food was ready,  GP could either not look at menu or make up their mind

Diamondback was 5-10 minutes. Beast was not running for some reason

FOF 5 Min, FH - 15min, Racer is about 8 min
