With only two more opportunities to experience the awe and wonder of the Train Tour, Kings Island is extending an opportunity for KICentral members to do the train tour this Saturday, July 17th, for the low price of $12.50! That's 50% off the normal admission price!

Tour includes:

• A sitting tour of the locomotive maintenance area.
  
• Learn the history of the Great Locomotive Chase
  
• 4 x 6 photo of the participant standing next to the train in the station
  

Tickets are available the day of the tour, July 17th, from 8:30 until 9:00a. Ask for the "KICentral Member Discount" to receive the special pricing. This discount is only good on July 17th, so take this opportunity while you have it!

Oh yeah - word from under the Black Hat is that the Train Tour will be hosted by none other than the wonderful and talented Gordon Bombay!

Have you bought your pink ducks yet?

Count me in! I was just thinking about this the other day, how I hadn't been able to do the Train Tour yet. Thank you KI and KIC!

One question though, where do we get the tickets? Is it any ticket window at the front gate or what?

EDIT: I answered my own question. I looked up the train tour on the park's website, and it says tickets:

can be purchased at the admissions windows between 8:30am and 9:00am the morning of the scheduled tours.

I would love to send my parents on this. They do have season passes. Not sure they could do the whole tour, does it last a long time? Mom has cancer and dad does not walk well these days with that being said my dad is a huge Train fan. He has a huge train collection at his house. He would love this.

Yeah I was hoping a discount would come around so I could take my whole family. I do hope this discount allows me to bring the family, just let us know where to buy the tickets and we will be on-board. This is just the perk we needed to get us back to Kings Island even though we have been wanting to for several weeks now. I think we will make it a two day event for us as long as I can find a decent room for a decent price even if it is not close to the park.

^See my post above, the park's website says tickets are available at the Admissions windows at the front gate.

EDIT: Edited my post so as not to cause any further confusion since the original post has now been fixed. Thanks, Ryan!

The tickets are available between 8:30 and 9:00. The original was a typo so I fixed it. Thanks for pointing that out.

Ware can we buy the tickets.

As said in post 2 of this very thread, at the admissions windows between 8:30 and 9:00...the same place at the park you'd buy any other ticket...

Haven't decided if I'm going to come or not. I'd love to, but I have to work until 1am tonight, so I don't think I'll be able to get up that early tomorrow.

Just got off the phone with BODDAH1994 himself, yes, THE BODDAH1994 aka Ryan Suhr. I have under good authority confirmation that the train tour is in fact going to happen tomorrow despite what others have been saying. The KICentraldiscount is still in effect and the train is ready to roll as usual. I hope many of you will take this opportunity to see the tour, never know who you might run into down there from KIC.

Alright, cool, train tour is on. Go Reds.

Good because I am planning on being there. The thing is I went to the first one as an KIC invite back in May and it was the best behind the scenes tour I have attended at Kings Island so there is no way I am going to miss this opportunity at such a low price. i will see you all there.

BTW - I am hoping this tour with KIC price discount is extended to our family as I want my family to enjoy it with me.

Seeing Kings Island & Miami Valley Railroad pull around the bend tomorrow morning with fellow KICentral members will be llike "Home Sweet Home"

Avatar, so glad you're going to check it out. I hope that you enjoy it and hope you get to be re-united with some old KIC friends. Like I said, you never know who you might see at one of these things.

I wish I could go,but my car is being fixed.Have fun guys!
