Kings Island 5/1 & 5/2/2010

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby bobbinbop20 on May 2nd, 2010, 10:14 pm
So, this weekend we went back to Kings Island, because lets face it, me and my precious Diamondback cannot stay separated for long!!

Both days were pretty cloudy and had low crowds, On Sunday we did the early entry thing because we have Platinum Passes, They didn't open Diamondback until 9:41 so we only got 5 rides in before they let the public in and they flooded the station :/ (Diamondback is NOT fun in the rain, wayyy too painful, but you gotta take a little pain for pleasure ;))

Diamondback seemed like 100% better then it was back in October, It used to be awesome, now it's like a fricken god rising above Kings Island that you just cant get enough of!! We rode Diamondback 20 times this weekend!

I'm now completely positive that Diamondback's ballstothewall airtime can rival El freaking Toro's airtime, not even a joke, I might even prefer Diamondbacks airtime, it's just that good, get off your computer right now, go to Kings Island and ride Diamondback in either the front of the second row! You'll be amazed ;) (In my opinion row 2 gives the best airtime on Diamondback, I dont know why, It's just like that) plus in the back 2 rows you get this nasty rattle/vibration that's pretty vicious, particularly when your at the bottom of both ends of the hammerhead turnaround.

Vortex sucks, just like it did last year

Racer is really really really fun, I have a thing for woodies that are built like this ride.

Flight of Fear surprised me this year, because last year I thought it was horrible, rough, and had bad pacing, but this year holy hell, It was running fast, smooth, and super intense.. I was sitting there trying to speculate if this was really the same ride I rode back in October?!

Beast Is Awesome At Night Period.

We Marathoned Drop Tower for about an hour, I have a thing for drop towers :)

Anyway, Diamondback "Eats Millennium Force and CRAPS IT ALL OVER CEDAR POINT!!!" hehehe :)

Kings Island is the best Cedar Fair park, go there and fall in love with it.

Picture time...

Image
Ah, I missed Kings Island

Image
You know where to find me :)

Image
2 train in one

Image
Is long hard and fast ;)

Image
Lift hill to Heaven

Image
off to Firehawk, this ride is actually really good too

Image
The capacity isn't the greatest but It'll have to do

Image
This ride is much better then Superman Ultimate Flight because it actually does something

Image
The flip track thing

Image
kinzel...

Image
err there might be a problem here

Image
Racer is fun

Image
There was only one side open, but lucky for me it was the side that I had yet to ride so I got my credit

Image
This ride is very very very tall

Image
We often somehow get seperated while continually riding Diamondback... here's Jaime on the best hypercoaster in all the land

Image
She found out I spotted her

Image
I stole a little red head boy and got my credit!

Image
seriously, this just looks wrong

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
They did a nice job on the retheming to "Planet Snoopy"

Image
You know what, don't ride Diamondback because then you'll be addicted!!! Like me!

Image
Racer

Image
Backlot Stunt Coaster is a fun little zippy ride

Image
Which was running one train at the time (The old trains were wayyyyyy cooler)

Image

Image
Alot of people were noticing that SOB was removed from the park map, I heard so many people talking about it, alot of the GP must really love SOB

Image
I prefer a Screamin Swing, but this will have to do

Image
Flight Deck is super intense and awesome

Image

Image
I love parks that have observation towers that you can stay up as long as you want, like KI and SFMM

Image

Image

Image
And if you have a camera with a good enough zoom you can get some cool shots

Image
going down

Image
the airtime gods have spoken

Image
The beast is well, pretty freakin BEAST!! hahaha I crack myself up

Image

Image

Image

Image
The beast is by no means smooth, has zero airtime, and way to many trims, but there's something about it that you just gotta love... It's a spiritual experience

Image
It's worth a long wait in line, because the ride is also really long

Image

Image

Image

Image
That's alot of crap

Image
I'd be one unhappy camper if I had an iphone and that happened to it

Image
that helix isn't really anything special, but the splashdown sure is cool

Image
I'd also be pissed if I lost my season pass

Image
This is a required picture

Image
Italian job LIVES ON!!!! GAHHH!!!

Image
Ugly cars

Image

Image
Vortex

Image
Sucks

Image
But at the same time is pretty

Image
just like the sky

Image
Racer!!

Image
Fireworks

Image
Goodnight

Image
Goodmorning :) I love waking up to Diamondback

Image
that's BEHEMOTH!

Image
Diamondback's "backside" ;)

Image
come to Kings Island :)

Image
AND RIDE DIAMONDBACK!!!

Image
Flight Deck errr Top Gun is cool too

Image

Image

Image

Image
This ride is perfect

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
Green is my favorite color

Image
Invertigo is a good Vekoma

Image
It has brakes

Image
In the gift shop

Man if I were you I'd hate missing out on SOB...the reputation is just so riveting and freaky. If I ever go there I hope it is still there and open.

I doubt your going to ever see SOB open again. Anyway, Great TR but, I severely disagree with your opinion on Racer, too each his own but, I thought Racer was terrible at best.

Haha, I could see how you would think it's terrible, I remembered it as being not so great, but I must have caught a good ride this weekend...

Oh, you didn't show Invertigo's "Deja Vu's station (blue and green)". I thought you weren't going to show Invertigo at all, and that it was still closed from opening week. Yeah, it's open!! :D :D

For Racer, the problem I have with that ride is not the ride itself, but those lapbars absolutely stink. They get stuck really on the rider. I feel it's a great park. I highly recommend this park. I also highly recommend Six Flags Over Texas!
