July 29, 201412 yr Just got off work..Headed in soon..just need to change and grab chow..freaking tired though
July 30, 201412 yr I was at a stop light about to turn left, only time you'll see me post like that. Was in a hurry..annoying traffic on Western Row..I didn't make it above 15mph
July 30, 201412 yr I can let you know in a half hour when I get there, but the rains that blew through may have thinned out the crowds some.
July 30, 201412 yr Just got here, parking lot looks 2/3-3/4 full. A lot of people are leaving now too, though. Delirium is a nearly fully packed queue, I'd estimate 1 1/2 hours Banshee has a weird pre-queue line I can only assume resulted from it just opening back up after the rains. Probably less than 20 minute wait-worth of people tho. Drop Tower is closed. I'd estimate AE at 10-15 minutes. Racer's line is out to its entrance but only because none of the extra queues are open. Less than 10 minutes since both trains are running. I'm in line for it. Also, my husband was looking at the radar and warns me more rains look to be coming.
July 30, 201412 yr I'm going to the park tomorrow. My phone's weather app says thunderstorms tomorrow but weather.com says sunny for the morning and cloudy for the afternoon and no rain. I'm hoping it rains just a little bit and maybe the crowds will thin out but maybe the cooler weather will drive them away too.
July 30, 201412 yr I can warn you it was fairly cool weather yesterday but it didn't seem to keep people away. Except the waterpark, that was fairly deserted.
July 30, 201412 yr This whole summer has been wierd. Weather.com always is the opposite of what it's actually doing outside. Saturday I checked the weather an hour before I got off work and it said it wasn't suppose to rain for 4 hours. Called home and told the kid to get ready to go to KI and on the drive home the sky opened up and lighting everywhere. Looking out the window is my new weather guide.
July 30, 201412 yr I would have to say, the crowds do seem lower today than yesterday, probably for rain. The craziness with the lines for Cirque seems to have slacked off since yesterday. There are only about 25 people lined up on each side waiting for the 6:30 door open. Hopefully it opens on time today.
July 30, 201412 yr In line for The Beast wait time said 30 min but it seems to be moving quick since all 3 trains are running. First ride of the night but seems quiet. Post more as we work around the park.
July 31, 201412 yr The Beast is a registered trademark for a Kings Island attraction. As such, it is always capitalized here.
July 31, 201412 yr Sorry my smart phone died and I'm stuck using a crappy Blackberry. Just trying to help with wait times.
July 31, 201412 yr We appreciate you. Meanwhile, Blackberry is a registered trademark and, as such, is always capitalized here.
July 31, 201412 yr How does the park look..headed in here in a bit, about to change and start my drive
July 31, 201412 yr Beast has some of the extra queue off to the left open, Diamondback's queue is nearly all full, so probably 45min-1hr wait for those. The Racer is still like 5 minutes.
July 31, 201412 yr Just left the park. Banshee was about 20-25 min wait. Vortex is about 10. Diamondback & The Beast were probably about an hour. Adventure Express was out to the entrance. Even The Bat was about a 10 minute wait.
August 1, 201412 yr Left the park to run home for a bit then heading back up here soon. Banshee was a station wait, looked like Diamondback was at the bottom of the stairs. Not a super packed park
August 2, 201412 yr ^ Action Zone is crowded, Diamondback is to the entrance with no queues open, Beast is at the top of the ramp. Walkons on Racer and Vortex.
August 2, 201412 yr Geez, I went on Wednesday and the place was packed. Now Saturday is a station wait for everything?! What in the world?
August 2, 201412 yr 1056. The herd from Banshee ERT (and the "Honey, let's ride that new one first!" crowd) hasn't made it elsewhere. Yet.
August 2, 201412 yr The running of the Banshee herd at opening has been one of my favorite things to watch this year.
August 2, 201412 yr I would expect wait times to pick up. Diamondback is now at the soft drink machines, and Beast is at the bottom of the ramp.
