It would have been hard for them to get one anyway... On days where there are fireworks the Beast closes the queue 30 mintues early and then for about 45 minutes if you have made it in the queue and you have to stand in line and wait for the show to finish so they would have gotten one but at like 11pm and only IF they would know to get in the line a half hour early.... Also as far as the park goes I like Kings Island. It isn't the greatest park as I feel most of the coasters are overrated there but there is a TON to do and the park is well kept, looks nice, has good food options, and some high quality flats and operations.

I was at the park that day and left before the evening storm. I wish I would have stayed to see the bright fireworks against the dark, ominous clouds. That looked really cool - thanks for filming it!

Rode it in 1980 and again tonight in 2021. So fantastic at night. No moon so couldn’t see a thing a big portion of the ride. A shame they close it temporarily for fireworks, gone are the days you could get in several summer night rides in a row it appears. But on the flip side it was cool meeting people in the still line anticipating the grand finale to a great roller coaster evening. I hope these guys can make it back, perhaps after the Vortex vacancy gets a new coaster. Orion, Beast night and tbd Vortex spot should make it worth their while.

The original Bat used the station that the Vortex uses. It was the 1st Arrow suspended coaster. It was too intense and was tearing itself apart, which was why it closed, not due being unpopular. The current Bat was originally named Top Gun after the Paramount movie. But after Cedar Fair bought them they changed the name to celebrate its predecessor. (After calling it Flight Deck for a bit)

Shawn, I love what you do and you're content is great, but man oh man I think you guys were way, waay too harsh at the end there. I understand being upset over not getting any night rides and sent away early but as you know things happen, such as weather. Yeah the weather was clearing up and perhaps they could've kept it open longer but considering how you talked about understanding the reasoning and even talking with operations themselves I feel as if the harshness towards the end was really unnecessary, talking about skipping Kings Island on USA trips because weather is just something else.

I understand why they were upset... it was kind of shitty... but Kings Island's a great park. You can't EVER judge a park by ONE experience... like I explained in my comment to them about Cedar Point... you can visit ANY park on a bad day. But Kings Island usually goes above and beyond to do right by their guests. I went there one time in september, back before the internet was popular... and unbeknownst to me, the park was closed to the public that day because they were having "GE day"... which is a day where they only let in employees of General Electric... Kings Island is a 4 hour drive for me... and when I told them that I'd driven 4 hours to get there... they talked to management and let us in anyway... for free.... it was one of the coolest thing any park has ever done for me. I thought it was just absolutely above and beyond the call of duty.... and best of all.. because of the public closing... there were ZERO lines... we rode coasters til we turned green lol. Probably my best day ever at a theme park that started completely awful.

I'm a huge fan of you and you're channel and i admire your honesty of parks but in the cold light of day, do you think you you've been a tad harsh on this one? Shutting an hour early isn't the end of the world when the park has already been open 11 hours with 3 train operations on the major rides. Imagine Americans coming over to visit AT and finding it shutting at 4 - now that's a disaster. In an ideal world Kings is a 2 day+ park anyway so like i say maybe a bit harsh.

I got to ride it last year because the sister of one of my fellow enthusiasts was small enough.

The pumpkin coaster made me lol

Thanks for making me smile :)

Great Vlog from Kings Island Shawn, shame the day didn’t end well.

The reaction at the end was a bit over the top for me. You regularly give money to Merlin back here in the UK despite their 4pm close times at Towers and you're whinging about a 9pm close. Makes you look a bit petty and silly tbh. You also got 3 train service on many coasters this day when the park didn't really need to as it was very quiet.

I never knew anyone that had this bad of a day at Kings Island. In all of my experiences coming here, I've had some of the best days of my life! I think that most of the coasters are in the top 3 of their respective coaster type/model. I view the park staff to be wonderful here (and all Cedar Fair parks for that matter), and the park has such an amazing atmosphere and charm! I understand that you are upset at the park closing an hour early, but there are many parks across the US that will close early if weather is severely bad. Cedar Fair parks, Six Flags parks, Busch/SeaWorld parks, Disney parks, Universal parks.... you name it, they will close earlier than scheduled if they have to. I highly reccomened you give this park another try in the near future, especially with that rumored giga coaster making its way in 2020.

I think you just got unlucky on Backlot Stunt Track. Its the last one to have any effect.. and it usually still has fire and the helicopter sound/ visual effects. It used to also have on-board audio, fake splashdown, and best of all... water canons that would "explode" the petrol barrels after the fire explosion.. it would give you a proper jumpscare from the sound alone. It was great.
