^ No fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo, they have bins at each ride you can place your bag in while riding.

Quick question. I couldn't remember from my trip 2 years ago, what is KD's lose article policy.

If you lose something the park can not retrieve it until after the park closes.

[xmichellexI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

Hey KD regulars--can the park be done in 2 (or 1 and a half) days in October? Thinking of going to BGW and KD, but both are only open Fri, Sat, Sun in October. How bad does Haunt affect the crowds? Should I even bother? I've never been to KD... I would definitely get a FL pass for the full day we'd have there, but I don't know if that's enough to get though everything (mainly the coasters).

For those that frequent both parks--do you think both are do-able in a weekend? I would get a QQ at BGW as well...

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

The best night to go to Haunt is Friday. KD is only open from 7:00 pm to midnight, but it's a smaller crowd. But Friday is also the best night for HOS at Busch Gardens (Sunday isn't too bad).

I know that Quick Queue at BGW will get you all the mazes at HOS, in addition to rides, but I don't know if this is the case for KD's Fast Lane (they did sell something called Fright Lane for Haunt last year).

At any rate, if you hit either park on Saturday, you'll want Quick Queue or Fast Lane (BGW can hit capacity on Saturdays during HOS).

^ Thanks!

Although, since I haven't been to BGW since Drachen Fire was still there, and I've never been to KD, I'm pretty much going to do just the coasters/rides... the haunt stuff would be if time allowed (if at all).

Do ride lines get shorter during haunt because everyone goes to the mazes, etc?

My initial plan was to do BGW Friday/Sat. morning--head to KD and get a twilight ticket for Sat. night and then have the full day on Sunday...

Well, after riding Kingda Ka at SFGAdv, I REALLY hope that my homepark can get a strata. Not next year necessarily, but in the near future.

Also, I just realized that KD will have the record for the most 300 foot tall structures in a single park after Space Sprial's removal. Maybe that will be the new record? (GOD I hope not.)

Not haedly...they've already gotten that record.As for what's coming in 2013 we won't know till the announcement but I doubt it's a new huge coaster of the 300ft. variety as construction would've started by now as we saw with I305 back in mid 09.

It doesn't matter much to me since my season is shot thanks to what happened in recent weeks,which is why I havn't been back on the forum till now.I'm hoping my sister & her family will get 2013 passes so I can possibly go next season ut I doubt it at this point as it depends heavily on their finances as to wether or not they can afford a four pack of passes or not.

[ChefkitchenI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

Hey everyone. I am at the park right now. Now I could be crazy, but, I could of swore I saw something hiding behind the trees behind the grizzly turn around. Looks red and possibly some yellow coaster track? Has anyone else noticed this while riding Grizzly?

[CPFanBoyI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

^maybe its the "2013 recordbreaker" mentioned on their website
