  1. I find this topic interesting because I have also had issues with my AT&T 3g network at Kings Island last summer. I am also using the Iphone. I made several calls to AT&T and they kept telling me they were having tower issues and that the problem would be resolved after some maintenance. After a whole summer of waiting I finally gave up on that . There were a few days I had ( no service at all ) while in the park. I made a few more calls to them and even went through switching to another Iphone and that still did not correct the issues. They then proceeded to tell me they had limited towers in the area. ( Why they didnt say that from the get go is beyond me !!! ) Maybe they just have a list of top 10 excuses they go through until they get to the bottom and by then your screwed. lol I am going to wait and see what happens when the 2011 season starts and if these issues are still not resolved its bye bye AT&T !!!! I have considered switching to the Verizon network where they now have the Iphone also. Maybe I will have better luck.

  2. I was on the Kings Island web page today. There is a message on the web cam page stating that they are in the process of updating and adding additional webcams. Thank you for your patience. Sounds like it will be set up more like Cedar Point.

  3. Well I have to tell you that the shipping is fast on the shirts. I ordered mine on the 27th and I allready recieved it today from UPS. Thats what I call service. I bought the winning design by LMH and I do have to say that it looks pretty awesome on the shirt. Awesome job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. OMG I just ordered two T-Shirts earlier and I hardly will ever wear one, but now you have added new items including a golf (polo) shirt. I guess I will try to use one of those 5 dollar off coupons.

    Im with you on that one Avatar. I ordered the t shirt the first minute it was available. Now seeing the golf shirt I think I am going to be ordering again. Do I see a hook, line and sinker here. lol lol lol :P

  5. Hey hey indianapolisman , It was a blast doing the marathon rides with you on the Diamondback this morning. Your right about the g's though. After the 4th in a row I think it got to me a little. My conclusion after riding it all weekend is that it is one of the best coasters I have ever been on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Depending on your seating on the trains from front to back it is a whole different experience.

  6. Part 3: April 18, late-morning

    The X-base trip was a bust. Angie, Rex and I stopped to get the above video of the Diamondback line and the rest of the group disappeared. We got to X-base to find Flight of Fear closed and a HUGE crowd of people. Rex split off at this point to go take care of some stuff, and we didn't seem him in the park after that. Angie and I stayed together and decided to head towards Action Zone slowly and hit what we could on the way. Racer was practically walk-on, I think we waited 3 trains for second seat. Red Racer (not racing in the morning) was feeling great and there was NO trim on the turnaround! That was a huge surprised and had me giddy going through the bunny hills.

    After Racer, we walked past Adventure Express (broken down) and decided that since Slingshot was only $10 for a ride, we were going on it. This was my first ride on Slingshot.

    The receipt for my first Slingshot ride! Nice shot of my "Diamondback red" nail polish that matches DB's track.

    This is the first video that I really shot with myself in it, but you can see that I did more of this as the day went on. Angie's random thumbs up next to my ear almost made me crack up laughing.

    Slingshot was a lot of fun. Not something I'll go out of my way to do again, but definitely fun and definitely worth trying. It didn't feel like it went as high as I know it does, and we only got one complete flip and only one half inversion out of it.

    From there, we continued on our quest to Action Zone. Drop Tower had a 1 hour wait so we skipped it in favor of Xtreme Skyflyer, which was also running a $10 a person special. We quickly bought our tickets:

    and got a little video before going on.

    Angie pulled the rip cord. I'm glad she did. I don't think I could have done it. I was shaking by the time we got to the top. This ride is the only ride that has ever actually scared me. We split the cost of the DVD because my girly scream coming down the first swing was totally worth it. I've never screamed like that on a ride, ever. Did I mention I want to do it again and again and again? :lol:

    After Skyflyer, we checked Flight Deck's line. It was long. As was Drop Tower, Delirium and Son of Beast (Invertigo was broken down). We realized about then that neither of us had eaten breakfast and we'd been at the park around 6 hours, so it was time for lunch! I do my best to avoid buying park food because a.) it's expensive and b.) eating when it's hot and I feel rushed will usually make me sick. So we left the park and headed towards the LaRosa's that's a very short distance from the park. Rex ended up joining us there before heading back to his hotel to crash (he's been up at least 30 hours straight by that time), but at least we got to hang out with him over lunch. I'm sure me and Angie frightened him a little - we're good at that.

    Heading out to the parking lot, we got a nice surprise - the Diamondback busses were lined up in the old tram area! It was cool to see them in person. And this time, that huge line really was the season pass processing. I felt bad for the people in it, but Kawana said he tried to tell them they could get in on their voucher and come back and they were jerks. So oh well.

    Hey hey Kat, it is me Brian the red head that rode the first morning rides with you and the gang . I am really happy to see that you rode Slingshot , I know you were looking forward to it. Wish I could have rode it with you guys. Hope to see you at the park again !! It was fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. To everyone one that I had the fortunate opportunity to spend opening day with, I thank you for the amazing time. I was the guy with the red spikey hair lol. My name is Brian. I think just starting the day off with a 102,000 dollar donation to the Kids Again foundation brings one of the most spectacular seasons to come. The Diamondback was awesome due to the fact that I got to share the first ride experience with with friends from KIC and that we all pulled together to help those in need. As individuals we are strong but as a group we are stronger. To all of you I met, and to those I didnt, I wish all of you the best for the 2009 season. Hope to have the pleasure of meeting again soon in 2009!!!!!!!!!

    Wait, my group had a Diamondback Meet-Up later that day? POO!!!!!

    Jackson, who's very sad, and still has his hand stamp on his hand.........

    Hey hey , Dont forget me lol. Im the red head guy that rode with everyone in the morning after Diamondback. Im in the pics, my name is Brian. I really did enjoy spending the time with everyone, probably the best opening day I have ever experienced. Tell your mom that I really did appreciate her handling the bags for us during rides and all the great pics she took. You have one awesome mom !!!

  9. Howdy everyone, I am an official auction winner!!!!!! I was notified first by phone and then by email. My bid post was 71st with a bid of 300 dollars. I am looking forward to the ride and to meet all who have won. It is going to be a great day!!!!!!!!

    I think it is a beautifull thing that the Kid Again foundation is going to be recieving a 102,000 dollar donation. It goes to show that in times like these there are still kind hearts that are willing to give to those in need. What an awesome way to start of the 2009 Kings Island season !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
