Haha maybe they could start with the 50ft level first if they wanted to do that [emoji14]

If they could safely use it for something, that would be pretty awesome.  

 Kings Island added a photo a little bit ago teasing to what i believe is the new standalone Skeleton Key room. Its called the Viewing.

(i would add a photo but i can never figure out how! EDIT: figured it out!)

^^That looks intriguing. I wonder how they're gonna make that work.

Sounds as if it's a funeral viewing.... interesting. Any idea where this will be located?

It is most likely for the Skeleton Key room at the KI Theatre

I believe those are the pillars reflection in the photo to the KI Theater; so i think its the skeleton key on the map by the theater. my guess is they have something set up in the theater its self. Kinda makes sense for them to use the theater for something during off season.

Not been to Haunt since about 2010, planning to go this Saturday are the ride typically long waits on Saturdays? Just curious we will go regardless, I just like to know. Also, no plans of doing house just night rides and scare zones and shows... Cause Coasters are always better in the dark...

I think I'm gonna buy skeleton key. Should I buy it online or at the park

As with most front-of-the-line passes, I'd recommend waiting to see what crowds are like before purchasing. The only exceptions to this are:

 

1.) if you specifically want to do the Skeleton Key rooms,

 

2.) if you get a really good deal by purchasing online ahead of time, or

 

3.) if you're going on a Saturday, especially those close to Halloween (when crowds are typically heaviest and both Fast Lane and Fright Lane are more prone to selling out. Even then, I'd still personally rather wait and see what crowds are like.)

 

Also, as I'm sure you know: Skeleton Key is not purchasable by itself. It is sold in conjunction with Fright Lane.  Just saying it here in case someone else would read it and be confused by how Skeleton Key is sold.

Wipe that smile off your face!

I get it they are there to make money, but it still kind of sucks you have to spend $40-50 to get the Skeleton Key. Is there any discount for passholders? Since the Fright Lane is a lanyard versus a wristband I assume it is transferable then?

With purchasing online there is a 5$ processing fee and buying it in the park I can use cash it won't let buy with just debit because I don't have a credit card

Also is there a gold/platinum discount?

The KI theater seems like an awfully big venue for a Skeleton Key unless, they will be taking many guests in at one time with specific times to view. It would be interesting in a theater setting. Hmmm I can picture the audience set up as a funeral viewing up close to the stage. What could possibly happen? Anyone want to speculated what will happen?

I've noticed that ride lines can be long on Saturday. It all really depends on weather and other factors. Most importantly... just go and have fun!

Ok, someone refresh my memory.  Is there ERT on Fridays?

No, there isn't. Gates open with the wall of monsters at 6PM. I assume parking gates open at 5:00.

Ok.  Thank you.  I kind of figured that was the case, but could not find anything on the KI site.  Its looking to start off warm, so we are trying to plan accordingly.

Not sure a whole hour of teenage tailgating time is the best idea, but I guess it is better than elsewhere and then driving to the park.

^ Teenage (or any other) tailgating is a very poor idea at KI, especially at Haunt time. They beef up security and have bike patrols galore, so chances of navigating those waters successfully is slim, even for 'expert' tailgaters. The new gate system (and the old) would not accommodate the crowd well for Haunt if they opened the parking gates at the same time as the park opened. :-)

What is interesting the past few times I have been to CP, including last Friday, they have just waved everyone through when you hold up your platinum pass.

Employee haunt preview night is tonight! My friend is going from admissions crew.

My guess it's a viewing for a play & things go completely wrong. 

 

It starts with a pre-show in the actual theater then you would go backstage and exit out the back.

The Haunt is only hours away.... Woooooooooooo!!!!!! Happy Haunt Day! Hope to see some of you there!

Sorry for the double post.
