BoddaH1994 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 I've been to more coaster events at Kings Island than I can count one two hands so nothing phases me, but even I am excited about this one. Details are still being thrown around, but this is going to be a very exciting experience for everyone!! Quote
teenageninja Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 The key is that Gold Pass and Platinum Pass holders go free... I'll have to look into this. My birthday is coming up after all... Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Is there a KICentral card? 'Cause I'd be a card-carryin' member! Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Is there a KICentral card? 'Cause I'd be a card-carryin' member! We'll have more details on that in the near future. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 All I can say, if this event is anything like Coastermania at Cedar Point, it will be an awesome event! And its two days. That is pretty awesome! And I would imagine there will be some opportunities to experience Diamondback! Quote
goofywdw Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Ugh I wish I was going to have a Gold Pass but seeing that I'm probably going to be working there... But anyway this sounds awesome! Me too Gator, I would be a card-carrying member too! Quote
Kawana Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Hmm, this may just make up for the lack of a SPPN. Since I have a gold pass, and I'm a member here, I may have to try to wriggle my way in somehow. Quote
Beast1979 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Hmm, this may just make up for the lack of a SPPN. Since I have a gold pass, and I'm a member here, I may have to try to wriggle my way in somehow. Make up for it? A two day event with 3 ERT sessions, walkbacks and more, making up for the Season Pass Preview Night? Doubt it. Quote
violakat03 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Wow, I feel all ... official and stuff. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Wow, I feel all ... official and stuff. No joke. I'm a member here, an ACE member, and a platinum passholder. Looks like I'm going to have a very promising summer! Quote
dare-to-fly Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 No joke. I'm a member here, an ACE member, and a platinum passholder. Looks like I'm going to have a very promising summer! Isn't it sweet?! Same situation here...same excitement! Life is so sweet at the moment. Quote

A two day event with 3 ERT sessions, walkbacks and more, making up for the Season Pass Preview Night? Doubt it. OK, I meant for me then. I'm assuming at least one ERT session will be on Diamondback, so that's what I was thinking. I'm still going to try to come. Quote

I am going to definitely try to come to this, it sounds like tons of fun! Quote
Beast1979 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Don Helbig Confirmed that Diamondback would be in at least one ERT session, that they are trying to work in 7+ rides in the ERTs, and that Morning ERTs could start at 5:30 and Night ERTs could run past midnight. Quote

thatbandguy8807 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 this happens on my birthday too...WOOOOOO i may have to look into this lol...this would be awesome... Quote
pkifreakhogg Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Ya this is gonna be awesome. I am an ACE member, KIC member, and a Gold passholder. Quote
Airtimeluvr Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I have been lurking here for some time since last year watching Diamondback construction, and really enjoy the site. I just joined so that I could find out more about this event and I see you have to be over 13 yrs of age to join. If my son is 10 and can't join this site, how is he going to join us at Ride Warrior Weekend? The family has platinum passes from Cp and really want to come to this great event. The wife can join but my son can't, we will not be leaving him at home, it would not be fair to him. He has ridden ever coaster at Ki and Cp except Mantis, his favorite coaster is TTD and he is looking forward to riding Diamondback. It would be great to ride before the regular seasons crowds arrive. Is there a way to sign him up just for this weekend, or allow at least one guest? Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 ^ Am not 100% but I think your son can join this site without any problem as long as you allow him join. Quote

However, regulations do permit your son to register on the site under the age of 13 if you contact us and give him official permission to register. Quote
CoasterFreak45 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Sweet! I didn't get to make it to the Blues party, I hope I can make this. Quote
kiruler102 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 i think this means a night or two stay at a Kings Island resort or somewhere around there. i am the only one of my family with a membership to here and i cant leave my house at 5 to get there at 530 for the ERT hopefully it doesnt start that early maybe 7 or 8 is this a saturday and a sunday stupid question Quote
CoastersRZ Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Yes, this event is on a Saturday and Sunday. The event will likely start at 6 or 7, with the exact time to be determined once the final schedule is set. Stay tuned for details. Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 And to re-iterate, those times are AM, not PM...this event will start early each morning. And the night ERT goes late, late, late, too. Yes, it makes for a SHORT, SHORT, SHORT Saturday night sleeping (actually Sunday morning), but I have two things to say about that: a. It's worth it, but... b. No one has to do all of the event. You can pick and choose ERT's and activities, if you so choose. Needless to say, you won't get to do those things that you choose not to, but the choice IS yours. Terpy, who has registered for ACE conventions and other ACE activities over the years and some times has only gone to all of two hours of them (and had his reasons and regrets it not at all) Quote
Braves0511 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 There are few things that I would happily get up at 230 and drive 2 and a half hours to get to...This is on top of that list...now to actually put 50 bucks together at once...Or "go for the gold" which would require more scrounging of money. Being on a college budget sucks. Quote
HTCO Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Darn now me mother can't go I'm their for shizzle... HTCO, i know im not kanye.. Quote
kjkjkj Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Count me and Ashers in for this event! We didn't get a chance to make it to the KIC Off Season Blues Party. This event sounds AWESOME! Hopefully we'll be able to work in both days, but if we can't do all of both days, most likely we will do Saturday. But hopefully we can do both! This will be my first coaster enthusiast event, and I am looking forward to meeting people just as obsessed with Kings Island as me! I was wandering, Boddah, if you could send a text to the KIC Mobile Club as soon as more details come out, so I can register as soon as possible. There's no way I'm missing out on this event! Quote

Once information is released and we have a date for tickets to go on sale, I fully intend to send out a broadtext. Quote
