jdf21972 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I am looking forward to the train tour , as it is the one part of the park I have not seen behind the scenes. What one free item are you most looking forward to receiving ? T-shirt, pin, souvenir cup(free refills 2 days) or on-ride photos for The Beast and Banshee? Just curious ?

Magenta Lizard Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Me too! Other than the swag (I was happy enough about a t-shirt, now it sounds like we're getting pins and stuff too) it's the thing I've been most excited about. Even though I try to spy the house through knotholes in the fort every time I ride the train, the idea I might see inside on the tour didn't even occur to me until my husband mentioned it earlier today. Now I'm even more excited about it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantisMan Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 souvenir cup(free refills 2 days) Â Well......that's interesting. Â Do you know if they are the standard souvenir cups or Coasterstock branded ones? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdf21972 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 That I do not know for sure I'm guessing they are the standard Kings Island 2015 souvenir cups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Coastermania Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 The event by its self is good enough for me, but I love getting a new t-shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Me too! Other than the swag Some don't need swag, as they already have it. It's great gifts nevertheless, should be considered a very valuable.

Oldiesmann Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Where was the unlimited refills confirmed? Â At Ride Warriors Weekend in 2009, all attendees were given free drinks both days (free drink wristbands). Obviously things are different now (different CF CEO, possibly different events/marketing people at KI, though Don is still in the same role he was in back then), but I wouldn't be surprised if we get free drinks both days this time around as well. Either way, I'd be happy just to have an event to go to. Getting a shirt, pin, two free on-ride photos and a souvenir cup on top of all that is more than generous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Coastermania Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Heading out to the park today for the weekend Coasterstock. Anybody needing a ride and want to carpool? Coming out of WV from rt 50/32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Me too!

Even though I try to spy the house through knotholes in the fort every time I ride the train, the idea I might see inside on the tour didn't even occur to me until my husband mentioned it earlier today. Now I'm even more excited about it!  I'll go on record and say it will be very unlikely that we'll see the inside of the fort. In all likelihood, it will be the exact same tour that KIC was honored enough to get a few years ago: board the train which will take you around to the train storage shed, where they will back the train into the shed and give you information and history of the trains & engines, with time for questions and answers.  The train tour is well worth the time to take, especially if you're into trains and/or park history. I'm thrilled to get the chance to do it again!  Sorry to crush your dreams. As many times as I saw that house while driving along the employee drive entrance from the time I started working at the park in 1989 until they enclosed it in the fort, I'd love to see it again today myself! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I was excited enough about the train tour before my husband mentioned the house in the fort, so it's not crushing my dreams. Fort Coney or not, it's one of the things I'm looking most forward to. I like your description of the previous tour, too, because that sounds likely to be less affected by rain than many of the other things happening this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron88stang Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I too am very excited about the train tour. I have wanted to take it sine I first read about the one a few years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Coastermania Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Final boarding call. We are loaded up and heading out ERT this evening and then all the events at Kings Island for the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeastFarmer Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I am so looking forward to my first enthusiast event! Hopefully I'll get to meet more new people and get to know others better. Everyone was so nice on Opening Day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Maybe we can try to have a KIC table when we have dinner the first day? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'll be going tomorrow, but I haven't slept in ages so I'll most likely skip the first few hours until maybe even dinner...hope I don't miss much! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Through some strange quirk of fate, one of my tweets is very close in the running for the most favorited/retweeted prize. As far as I can tell, it is second only to a tweet that got a lot of attention when@KingsIslandPR retweeted it. I was actually trying for the most comprehensive coverage prize, but I'll take what I can get Of all my tweets today, the one in the running is probably my least favorite :-/ If you want to help me win, please go retweet: https://twitter.com/maglizrd/status/599592251799515136 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freaks76 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Me and a buddy decided about 3:00 we was gonna make a run up to the park.  Killed me to leave and watch people stay and ride more.  Totally missed the boat on this one.  Tomorrow (or today, depends how ya look at it) looks like it's gonna be decent weather. hope everyone has a great time! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoeter Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Based on what I saw from numerous KIC users on Facebook, looks like I missed a great event., especially Dennis Spiegel talking about the history of the park. If there's a similar event taking place next year, you can bet I'll be there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yes, it has been even better than I expected. Heck, just the souvenir cup and meals covered the price of the event, and were far from being the best part. I love Coasterstock! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Coastermania Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I had a great time. I hurt my foot and will have to sit the rest of this one out. This turned out to be a great event. Over 500 happy club members made it out and I hope we even draw more next year. See, they drew more ten bucks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Coastermania Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm here. I didn't get to go to the Banshee event, but it looks like a pretty busy day at the park. With the ERT it worked out great. It was a lot of fun even with the crowd and the weather. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm sure others noticed, but there was an unusual amount if attractions that closed throughout the day or were closed. Monster was partially dismantled, im guessing its for a motor replacement. Maybe it will get an SRR upgrade and light package. Dodge Ems shut down late in the day. FOF was down. WindSeeker was down until early evening. Planet Snoopy was hit the worst with Surf Dog, Helicopters, and Aerial Chase all down. Seemed like the walking dead by afternoon, with people skipping the longer lines and just....walking. Still was a good time though. (I was in the park, but not at Coasterstock. That event was probably worth the ERT for certain....never saw so many busses in the lot, though!!!) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
