I GOT THE CARDS!!!
This is 100% my new favorite Boo Blasters ghost lmao
Me and the boys about to get abducted by aliens (not clickbait!!!)
WHY ARE THE QUEUE LIGHTS ON???
Here's some pictures from the queue of Diamondback from opening day! This coaster's one of 2 at Kings Island that never fails to make me nervous while I'm queuing for it, the other being Orion. There's just something about B&M hyper coasters that apparently freaks me out XD
Jokes aside, I'd say this (which was my 4th ride on it) was my best ride yet on Diamondback. My first time, I didn't really like it too much, but I've found the more chances I give it (& by proxy, the more I go on it), the more I learn to appreciate it & the more fun I seem to have had by the time I get off. Plus, the entire track's been fully repainted! Last season it was only part-way done, and you could see where they'd stopped painting it from the spot where the train passes next to it. Now it looks all nice and pretty with its new completed fresh coat!
That being said, am I the only one who feels like Diamondback's ride feels longer than The Beast's? No? Just me? Alright then-

Here's a BUNCH of photos from Flight of Fear on opening day and its oddly lit-up queue. On the bright (pun partially intended) side, the lights being on allowed me to get some good shots of things I'd never noticed or been able to read before! We ended up getting a front-row ride that day, allowing me to get those last two shots of the launch tunnel & down that hallway to get that peek of the "spaghetti bowl" respectively!

I absolutely ADORE Woodstock Express. It was my first ever roller coaster and I try to make sure to give it a ride every time I come to the park. That being said, I feel like the park may not quite love it as much as I do. Give my mans a repaint, Kings Island, please. His paint is looking so rough- XD

For anyone who wants to see what the Kings Island anniversary cards from opening day look like, here's a photo of the front and backs of each card I got from riding Banshee.
If anyone out there has cards from The Beast, Diamondback, or Invertigo, let me know! I'd love to see the cards from the packs I couldn't get!

HAPPY OPENING DAY FOR SNOOPY'S SOAP BOX RACERS!!!
In it's honor, I present the only photo I have of it taken from the queue of Mystic Timbers
May your opening day be smooth and your lines plentiful from popularity (but not too plentiful because I know that nobody wants to wait in a 3-4 hour line for a family coaster lmao)!
(Also bonus: Happy opening day to Hyperia at Thorpe Park, and happy birthday to Thorpe Park itself! Many thanks to @rose-grimm-spirit-does-dumb-shit for letting me know a couple of days ago what's going on across the pond lol)
