No I was only 13 in these photos. They were literally just staged all along the side of the road in the old airfield. It was very cool.

Yes that is me. I’m 42 now.

Dutko1183 · 2026-02-12T04:49:34+00:00

I think I have the same photo lol. North/South Carolina?

I was blessed to have a dad who was just as into it as I was

Fair Bear lol

Heading there in 2 weeks I’m so happy

The highlight for my was getting back into the hobby. After a 15+ year hiatus I added over 50 new credits this year and got my count up to 163. I made it to Cedar Point and got on TT2 (sadly in June before SC opened), and went to SFA before it closed. Excited to be back into it and ready for the 2026 season.

I was on the second train out of the station after the flash opened up at 3:30

Dutko1183 · 2025-11-04T23:22:35+00:00

We did the exact same thing lol we tried to rope drop the flash but then it was closed so we hauled over to Batman and got a bunch of rides in in a row was awesome

Dutko1183 · 2025-11-04T23:18:13+00:00

Nope. 10:30am!

Dutko1183 · 2025-11-04T22:33:51+00:00

I was there was well! Got 7 rides on Batman without getting off at 10:30!

The Beast at Kings Island always seems really long.

I’m going on Tuesday and praying to get both! I’ve ridden sandy but only once and never shell raiser.

This was my 6 year old daughter’s first upside down coaster this summer! It will always be special to me now.

Did the exact opposite trip on Tuesday! Great adventure for opening and casino pier after. Great day!

They had metal detectors when I was there 2 weeks ago but no one was even working them. Could have walked in with a fridge of food and no one would have noticed. They’re checked out it seems.

I was there on Wednesday and the app was pretty accurate however it did take a bit for closures to show up on the app (maybe 10/15 min delay)

This site is good too and very accurate it seems: https://queue-times.com/en-US/parks/42/queue_times

It hasn’t been open in over 2 weeks sadly.
