KI is basically setup in a circle (no surprise), so you should plan on looping around the park a couple times to mix in your coasters and flat rides. Once through the entrance, you can go left or right. We like to start out to the right, which means walking back to Diamondback first and attacking the park counterclockwise.

Below I've listed the musts, shoulds, and coulds, along with how long I would wait for the ride on a busy day if I'm only there 1-2 days a year and want to ride it all. The coasters are obviously going to take up the majority of your time, so if you're into that you just have to suck it up and wait.

Parking tip: If arriving from the South, three lanes will get you into KI, but no one ever uses the 2nd lane over because they don't seem to realize the "go straight or right" arrow means you can also go right into the park. <-- use that lane
