Kings Island: Land of the Dumb

Before the good folks at Paramount decide to sue me, let me clarify. Couple weeks ago I was at Kings Island for their "Fear Fest" and for the Third Eye Blind Concert. Mostly though I was there for the Vortex, The Beast and Top Gun. One of these days I'll have the balls to ride junior and do the Beast Trifecta (Beastie, Beast and Son of Beast) but I'm still troubled over the fact that a wooden coaster has a loop-dee-loop in it. Anyway back to my story, we had seen the concert which was pretty good, and were walking back to the Antique cars which they had turned into Route 666 (oooooh scary) and the line was huge! Now here's where the land of the dumb part comes in. It was ten p.m. (park closes at midnight, remember that) when we got to the ride and saw the line was frickin huge. We passed a sign that says "Two Hour wait from this point". What's funnier, is that the line was 30 or 40 people deep after that point and there was still people getting in line! I wanted to go up to one of these morons and say "Helloooooo! You are now in the "Line Ride" because they will close the park before you get to ride the ride!" I hope to God these people don't vote. Still, I forgot how fun Kings Island can be and I'm considering a season pass for next year.
