BeastBuzz 2014

We are planning on going to Stricker's on Sunday. We haven't been yet, so it was a nice coincidence.

Not only is Stricker's open - they're celbrating their 90th anniversary that day.

So what time do we get in the gate? Right at 08:30?

I was at BeastBuzz when the Beast was 25 years old (9 years ago?) and I don't recall how things occured in the morning...

(I was at a couple coaster mania's and boobuzz's at the point and a Holiday World event since then but I didn't show up first thing in the morning like I plan to on Saturday...)

Forecast for Saturday isn't looking too great. Hopefully it won't be a washout.

Forecast has changed 4 times in the last week. Hoping for the best. Non-cancellable room, so going anyway.

Scattered storms there at 60% means a good chance of getting wet, but not usually a washout.

The forecast looked good last time I checked, thanks for the heads up.

Just a heads up on parking. I called Kings Island and they said that the parking toll gates do not open until 8:30 (the same time ERT will be starting). I asked about early parking entry for BeastBuzz an she tried to look it up but did not come up with any answers.

I did not see any details in the 2013 BeastBuzz thread about parking but did find a separate thread here:

I'll assume we should follow the same procedures.

I've got an email asking... will let you know.

My contact at the park says parking will be open earlier, not to worry.

Lunch is back in the picnic grove now... Our group is a few people too large for the I-Restaurant. We're at 110!

Sounds like a great turnout. I wish it was 111. Have a great time, everybody!

I wish it was 107, so that we could get back into the air-conditioned I-Restaurant. But, I'd be happy if you were a part of that 107, Mike! ;-)

I wish it was 108, so that we could exactly fill all 3 trains on The Beast. :P

Please, anything under 90 degrees feels like winter to me these days. I'll take the outdoors. :)

I don't think it has been 90 in Ohio for over a month now. Typical weird Ohio.

Anyone going to KI tonight? I may, but will be checking weather this afternoon...

We may stop in for a quick Banshee night ride tonight, depending on our timing. We are making a pit stop at Texas De Brazil around 7pm tonight in Columbus on the way down, so timing will be close.

Banshee was very nearly a walk-on tonight.

Most coasters were just about walk-ons tonight ;)
Great time but I was reminded how expensive food is at KI!

I'm so disappointed that I don't get to go, but my place of business needs me so bad that they decided to not let me off work, even though I asked months in advance. Think of me when you are going through The Beast's helix.

This has been an extremely disappointing summer for me. Oh well. Shrug it off.
