Good news about the guests. I doubt I'll bring any though. But I know for sure Ksings and I will be there.

"When" is whenever everything is finalized and they are ready to post it.

But sometimes some things are worth waiting for

[Jaredap88]

very true...and i'd guess this is one of those things that will be worth the wait....at least i'd hope haha

[BoddaH1994]

Details are still being finalized for Ride Warriors Coaster Weekend. This is a big feat to accomplish... and trust me -- it'll be worth it.

[Jaredap88]

id love to sit in on some of the planning meetings..that would be pretty interesting

[Kawana]

Quick question. For events like these, does one typically have to sign up to attend both days, or can one attend their choice of days? I ask because obtaining the day off from work could be hairy.

After having planned three events at Kings Island, I can assure you that it's way more fun just to be surprised.

I do not have an answer to that question at this time, but since registration is free, I'd register for both days and just show up whenever you can.

I think so too... Just something you don't get to ever do. so something the first time would be interesting now wouldnt it

[gigacoaster2k]

Details schmetails.. all someone had to do was mention ERT and what time to be there, and my calendar was marked.

[XGatorHead 8904]

^As was mine. And as soon as Don Helbig said at the KIC Blues Party that we were invited back for a DB tour on 2/21, my phone was in my hand to add that to my calendar!

[Kawana]

^^ I wish it was that easy for me. At my POE, Saturdays are in high demand. It's one of those things where you have to work a couple to get one off, unless you want to use up all your vacation days. If I can't swing the 9th, I'll be there for sure on the 10th. It's more than likely one or the other really. Don't know if Elina will be up for two straight days of KI madness.

[kjkjkj]

I hope the scheduled events for Sunday will be just as good as Saturday, if not better, because more thank likely I will only be able to make it Sunday. I can't wait for details!

[Jaredap88]

i dont think they'd make one day better than the other...and maybe you'll luck into getting to go to both days..stay posative

[SOBFOF]

So, you can still come to the RWW if you were registered ON February 1st, or does it have to be before?

[Mr. Coastermania]

I always seem to miss out but not this time.Im making plans to be there for both days.

[standbyme]

Anyone have an idea how it would work for children under 42 inches? Do you think I would have to buy a guest ticket. (I HOPE I will not have to buy one since he will not be able to do any of the ERT rides and he already has a season pass.) Anyone have an answer?

[House]

Is anyone else going solo? I want to go but my sister who normally goes to KI with me is to Key West that weekend.

[CoastersRZ]

Well, I will be hanging out with the rest of the staff members from here.

This event is a little more than two months away! Its hard to believe that it is March 3rd already and that Kings Island and Diamondback will be opening in a little more than a month!

[XGatorHead 8904]

I'm going solo, but I figured there will be plenty of KIC folks there as well!

[CoastersRZ]

Yep. Not to mention all the other coaster enthusiast clubs that will be there. For those of you who have been to KIC days the past two years, expect a much larger turnout for this event. It will likely be comparable to the size of the crowd at Coastermania, for anyone who has been to that. And since Diamondback is new the crowd could be even larger. However, since it is Mother`s day weekend some people may opt not to go. Furthermore, since it is a weekend in May and not June, some people might opt not to attend. Still, others may attend because it is a weekend in May and not in June or July.

[tigellinus]

^^Sort of like guessing how busy a park will be on a certain day!?

Edit to say: Mother's Day weekend...whew...usually that's a big deal for my fam, BUT...RWW is still the default anyway at this point!!

[standbyme]

It will likely be comparable to the size of the crowd at Coastermania, for anyone who has been to that.

I have never been to that...so what I kind of numbers are you talking...300?

[The Interpreter]

In a word, no. Think several times that...and sometimes more.

[Ohiocoasterman]

I go to coaster mania every year and I would say maybe around 3,000 to 4,000 people go there. It depends though on if there is a new ride as well. I am sure Diamondback will bring that many or more!

[Gordon Bombay]

I'm going solo, but I figured there will be plenty of KIC folks there as well!

I've met GatorHead in person, I can vouch that he is a good man to hang out with. We missed you at Jungle Jim's man, next time make sure to come along.

I may be also going solo..im just hoping i will be able to find out when the tickets are selling on the first day so that way i can buy mine and go....this is on my birthday and i would absolutely love this sort of thing as a present lol...im so excited about working this year as well....so yeah, im hoping i can make it to this....it will be awesome..I was sad when i didnt make it to the event in feb....im doing everything i can to make it to this event...

[gigacoaster2k]

I'm likely going solo. 9 times out of 10 I'll go to parks alone, and end up meeting up with 2 or 3 different groups of people.
