angryemobeaver Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Does anyone think this park will be crowded tomorrow?! Its Kings Island, when isn't it crowded? But yes I'd assume it'd be crowded. Whatever you do, don't go Sunday! It's bring a friend day which will make it automatically be very busy, plus all the people going for after prom.I live in Indianapolis and I know almost everyone going to prom is also going to KI Sunday.

coasterfreak101 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Has anybody shown up the half hour early to get walked back to Diamondback and The Beast as a ClubTPR member yet? I'm curious as to how it works, and I need to make sure I can bring my guest with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 ^ I did it last June on my first trip to KI. I guess that the Gold Pass Season Pass holders get to go back too, so we just got to go back early with them. I got 7 consecutive rides on Diamondback in the rain. It was awesome. We then walked back and got on the first train of Beast. It was an awesome perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traincrossin Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 ^^ @Traincrossin No morning walkback to The Beast & Diamondback. Early rides for Gold SP on WindSeeker & Vortex this year. Link I'm not sure if Club TPR members will be able to get early rides though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 It was just recently added to the ClubTPR benefits list, that's why I was asking. Odd for it to be added but not actually happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traincrossin Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I think Robb just updated Kings Island's benefits so i'd check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 ^Yeah, I emailed him and we figured it out. Sounds like it's Vortex and Windseeker this year, once the latter is open. For now, it's still The Beast and Diamondback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geauga Dog Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The ride looks very good on the KI skyline and is quite picturesque from different vantage points (sorry no pics as I didn't take my camera to the park this time around). Â It was going up and down the tower all day Saturday but was not spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
