Great video! Super helpful to see where we should/should not take our kids and loved that it gave them an idea of what the park would look like after dark. Thank you!
I'm planning to go down to Kings Island for 3 days weekend of October 14th. I watch your videos from 2021 and 2022 opening night. If I had 3 days and out of the 3 days I'm planning to use fast lane plus on Saturday 11am-12am so I was wondering how busy Friday nights are along with Saturdays and Sunday's during the weekend of October 14th? I'm planning to do the scare zones and mazes on Friday night maybe some night rides on Mystic Timbers and The Beast then Saturday just rides and coasters all day same on Sunday. Would Saturday be the only day I should need a fast lane plus? And how busy has the haunt been? This is my first time going to the haunt at Kings Island.
Are you wanting to get through all houses each night? Saturdays should be pretty busy in mid October. If you start doing houses and zones right away on Friday you probably would get through them all but if you are trying to weave in rides as well it would be tough. If it were me and I was going to be there 3 days, I would only get fast pass one day if I wanted to knock out a bunch of rides. I would think you could easily do rides and coasters all day Sunday. But this was the busiest opening night I have seen at KI Haunt in awhile so it might end up being a really busy year.
I'm going in a couple weeks and I'm so excited! We tried to go in like 2017 or 2018, but it was super windy and raining a little so no scare actors were out. Hopefully the weather is okay when we go!
Yeah, and this one does a good job of capturing what a retail store felt like when I was a kid in the 80s. It feels and looks like one of the old style Kmart stores that used to be around my area. I'm not sure if Kmart was a national brand or just local to where I'm from but this is basically what they looked liked inside.
honest review from someone who has been going to kings island all my life and goes to Halloween haunt every year for my birthday which is in October: this year was a bust. I remember a couple years ago the fog/smoke they put all throughout the park WAS EVERYWHERE. Covering the entire park. now it was only in select scare areas and it wasn’t overwhelming like it usually is, I like it to be overwhelming. I like looking at the park from afar and seeing the entire thing covered in smoke as if it was on fire. The monsters/actors that scare you in scare zones, were barely active. And haunt starts at 6, but the fog didn’t come till around 8 when it got dark. I wish it started when it got dark because we were waiting at 6 and nothing was really happening. The haunted houses were okay we only did 2 because the lines were outrageous. They were also just okay, not anything new. I might go again before haunt goes away, I hope that they ramp it up maybe because it’s closer to Halloween? but if not I hope next year they get back to going all out
This event really needs the fog, it was really the main atmospheric element that made the park feel like a haunted event. Also, they really need to get their house count up to around 10. There just isn't enough haunted houses/trails to wick up enough people to make wait times reasonable. I am with you, if there isn't significant change for Haunt next year, I don't think I will be attending either. It is just too difficult for me to travel that far without it being significantly better. The actors all did really well though the night I went.
@@AdventureModeTraveling they have 6 houses and 4 scare zones. 7 houses if you count boo blasters in kiddy land. Yeah I agree with you, except I have a gold pass I live 45 mins from kings island, I don’t have to travel very far and visit about 10 times a year. I think I’m gonna go twice before haunt ends this year I really hope there’s more fog maybe they weren’t pumping it out as much the day I went I’m not sure. As for the houses they aren’t doing the wolf one or the blackout one which is close together and really makes the wait times for everything even out.
@@AdventureModeTraveling Haunt is kina dying...hopefully there will be changes for the better....but...folks will have to swallow there pride and possibly some crow b4 that would happen lol
@@AltairEgoX I agree with you. I think the actors do a good job but the event needs a serious overhaul. I've been going for several years but unless there is a lot of change next season, I think I'll probably skip.
Honestly, comparatively speaking this years opening nights (friday and saturday) are kind of lacking and not as good as other years. It definitely was not as overwhelming as previous years, which it being overwhelming in the context is a good thing. However, there may be a good side to this. Maybe they are planning something special for the next few years and are just cutting their budget for thing that aren’t the main park ( haunt and winter fest) But they could just be lacking since it is the first few night and they don’t exactly have everything together.
Did they have more fog rolling the second night? I hope they are planning on going back to having more houses in the future. They had some good stuff but I remember this event back when it had almost double the amount of houses.
@@AdventureModeTraveling Not really, I found that most of the fog is centered on international street. Chaos had more fog than the entire park itself to be honest. Hopefully as the season progresses this will change and we’ll get fog like previous years.

I'm a Pumpkin Scare Actor, thanks for the great coverage of our zone. I love our new home
It was an awesome zone this year. I'm so glad they built buildings for it. Loved the sound being played in it. You all were awesome in there!
This place sucks not worth the money
@@AdventureModeTraveling Thank you 💙
This is amazing creation indeed! Hope you had a good time! Watching from Australia :)
Thank you my friend :)
I really miss going. They called me "meal on wheels" and "Hauntmama".
Thanks for posting these great videos!!!!!
Great seeing so many familiar "faces"
Not going this year? Well, I hope you enjoyed watching the video at least if you don't make it out there this year :)
Thanks so much on the complements on kill mart! I work in there! I worked opening night!
That is really cool :). I love Killmart, it has been my favorite at the park every year since it opened :)
Great video! Super helpful to see where we should/should not take our kids and loved that it gave them an idea of what the park would look like after dark. Thank you!
I'm glad it was helpful 😃. Did you end up going?

Saturdays are usually the busiest, and depending on the weather Fridays can have a decent crowd. I’d say the least busy would be Sunday.

Thank you so much :), these events are fun :)
GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT. SEEN YOU HAD MYSELF GOOD OL CHECKERS & ZIGGY IN THERE..GLAD YOU HAD A GOOD TIME THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING US!!
I had a great time. I was really enjoying watching you in the scare zone. I've always loved the VFX creates attack puppets. Awesome job!
Just wow. It's so beautiful 👍
Thank you so much :)
Would it be okay if I used some footage for a video? I'll credit in the description
What a stunning vlog 😊 Lovely adventure 👍 Full support 🌹🔔
you should check out Kennywood's Phantom Fall Fest! it is an amazing halloween event! I Think Kennywood's one is one of the best ones!
I've wanted to make it out there. Maybe this year.
Does it cost extra for the haunted houses? Or is that included with your park ticket entry?
It is included with your park ticket entry :)
03:00 despite working in retail for so long, I really do love seeing houses and mazes based in stores and malls.

I’m going this Saturday I’m very excited 😋
That is awesome, let me know how it goes :)

Great year
Typically it takes a few weekends for them to adjust things so I think we Probally see more fog and stuff. They may be finding more machines and stuff
I really hope they get the fog rolling. Kings Island usually has so much fog :)
@@AdventureModeTraveling that they do. Especially that grave yard area near the water by dimondback and them.
How does this compare to Cedar Point? I’ve never been to Kings Island’s Halloween event. I went to CP again tonight, and it was better than last week.
They are very similar. That is good CP was better this week, opening weekends can be rough for a place. How is the new house?
Hey! You can see my husband and I in the background around 5 minutes in. What an awesome night!!
That is really cool. Was it heading into Cornered or around there?
@@AdventureModeTraveling, yes! 😁
I will be going to Kings Island Halloween Haunt this Friday for the first time
That is awesome, it was really busy last Friday. Hopefully, you get to do all the houses. Let me know how it goes.
Was blackout open
No, it wasn't open for some reason. It wasn't open last year either. They seemed to be down two or three house locations the last couple of years.

@@Ratalynn I'm shocked they aren't pumping the fog out, that was such a major part of the event in years past.
@@AdventureModeTraveling Yeah, it really sucks. But we’ll just have to hope that it will start happening.🤷♀️
There wasn't many actors during opening weekend, cause most of us went to comic con
So beautiful place
Thank you so much :)
Awesome! I wanna go so bad but idk it might be to creepy for us
I think you would get used to it pretty quick. After you do a couple of houses you get in the groove of things and it becomes really fun.
@@AdventureModeTraveling yeah, idk though cause we haven’t gone before and idk if my brothers are gonna go, cause I will if they do
155 like hello my dear friend❤❤❤❤ nice sharing❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you my friend :)
cool thanks
My pleasure, thank you for watching :)
I went there yesterday.
I'm going tonight I'm from VA
That is awesome, did you drive from Virginia? Let me know what you thought of the event
Glad to see knee pad slidey guy is still at it after all these years 😅
The knee slides are really impressive too. I'm always thinking they are going to run into someone and they never do, lol.
👻👻
and went in the haunted house it was fun and scary.
I saw you there.
On Friday?
🥸
