Well, I went to KD yesterday 4/22 and just got back. The crowds were pretty light, which I was very surprised by, seeing that it was 80 degrees. The longest we had to wait was 30 mins for Hypersonic, and by 7pm, everything including Volcano and Hypersonic were walk ons. KD hasnt really changed alot as far as deparamounting things. Everything was running very well with the exception of Anaconda, it didnt open until sometime after noon. I had a great time, the employees were much nicer this year than last year but then again it is the beginning of the season. Here my ratings of the rides we did.
Rebel yell- Still very smooth and pretty good airtime, just needs a little more speed. 9/10
Hurler- Pretty darn rough but not as bad as Carowinds version, has GREAT airtime. 8/10
Grizzly- Now I used to hate this ride with a passion but for some reason, I dont know why, it seems much smoother than last year and I actually enjoyed it. 9/10
Ricochet- Ehh its a mouse coaster, no big deal lol 5/10
Hypersonic XLC- The launch is out of this world crazy and intense, but XLC has become very rough this year, last year it wasnt so bad to me as far as roughness but its obviously ageing quick, but awesome launch. 7/10
Volcano- Great launch, and very smooth ride, still the best ride in the park. Nothing but fun the whole way thru 10/10
Flight of Fear- Great launch and very smooth, it seemed darker inside than what it was last year, last year I could at least make out where I was going but this year I couldnt see anything, this ride is pure fun. But I still say the MCBR slows it down way too much. 9/10
Anaconda- Seatbelts? Anaconda and Hypersonic both have seatbelts now, dont know if its a CF thing or just for safety. Anaconda is ok, but again the MCBR slows it down too much but it is cool going thru corkscrews really slow. 7/10
Italian Job- Good family coaster, themed very well. I noticed after the launch going around the circles to get to the top put a big strain on my neck, weird anyway pretty fun. 8/10
Shennandoah Log flume- Ehh kind of boaring but good way to cool off which was the only reason I rode it. 6/10
White Water Canyon- Very refreshing, I was getting pretty hot and I got soaked on this so I was happy. 9/10
Shockwave- I love this standup, I love the drop and the parallel loops too, just too short. 8/10
Well thats it, I had a great time and cant wait to go back.
