April 28, 20188 yr My daughter's graduation from Wright State University is on 4/28/2018 so that my family is back in town. My son and I decided to visit Kings Island on 4/27/2018. We got to the park around 6 pm. It was not very busy but had some crowds around. We went straight to Mystic Timbers. Mystic Timbers: I forgot how smooth this coaster was compared to Thunderhead. MT is a superb GCI coaster. As usual, we got on the back of the train. Many of the ride operators recognized us and gave us high fives. Very nice.... The Beast: Out of all of the coaster at KI, this is the one I miss the most even though The Beast is probably my 4th favorite at KI. Then again, it is the oldest of the 4 and always has been the constant at KI. Row 17 was the seat of my choice. Diamondback: DB is my favorite at KI since this coaster opened in 2009. I do like this coaster more than Intimidator. Banshee: I forgot how fast this coaster was compared to Afterburn. Back right is my favorite seat on this coaster. Drop Tower: Of course, I had to get on DT. My marathon rides on DT may be over but I still love this ride. 10326 and counting. Bat: There are not too many suspended coasters left in the world. I still love this one even this is short. I believe there are only 4 Arrow Suspended coasters left in the world... Overall, a short but nice visit. We were at the park for just under 2 hours. I enjoyed talking to all the operators we knew from the past. I will visit from time to time when I am in town.
