I'm going for sure on the 9th. The 10th is a maybe right now.

Wow this is exciting news. I can't wipe the smile off my face. I am so excited for this event (not reflected in my earlier posts today, but I'm over it!).

What I am asking is, does ERT for passholders start at 9, or do the auction riders get to ride at 9? There is a possibility that I may have one of the seats on the first six trains if my bid stays on the board. And I have friends coming from hours away that are repeatedly asking me what time to be there on opening day. I am sorry for asking such a stupid and difficult question.

Once again, I am confused. Two totally different answers and still no clarification. Tomorrow marks 4 days until opening day.. is there a problem we are not aware of?

You took the words right out of my mouth. I had to post repeatedly in another topic before I finally wrenched a clear answer out of someone about opening day. Keeping people guessing is all fun and games to a point, but then it comes down to reality: some of us like to make plans, especially what time to arrive to an event.. if such details are not available, there are some people that will scrap plans entirely.

I've debated just riding DB all day.. but I have to get my Drop Tower, FOF, Slingshot, Delirium, and Beast fixes in. And Kat (violakat03) and I are going for our first ever rides on Skyflyer.

I was afraid they would tell me to go after my last few posts in this thread! But, as I have learned in many of life's situations, you can only be nice for so long.. sometimes the claws must come out before you get the answer you want!

Thanks. It's nice to see an answer other than "Details haven't been confirmed yet." or "i dunno lolz." That wasn't flying with me this close to opening day.

Well the auction ends while I'm at work and I don't have access to a computer there.. OK! So I guess it's all just going to be one big surprise. "I don't know" is an unacceptable answer to me, but I guess that is what I must keep telling the people asking as the clock continues to tick.

I'm aware that some of you live just minutes from KI and couldn't care less about what time to be at the park, but there are some people that are driving for hours to come to KI on opening day. Understandably, they would like to know what time to be here. It is 5 days until opening day and 41 hours until the auction ends. This should be confirmed by now. Forgive me for sounding snappy, but I don't think this is too much to ask.

So is it safe to tell everyone I know from the CP area who is asking me what time to be there, to be there at 9 am for ERT? If ERT is at 9 am, the auction winners must be riding before then.

Wow, I SO read that wrong. I was thinking "Run KI for a day? They are letting some random person take over the park for a day?" My mind isn't right today.. but then again, when is it?

My dad works at Copeland in Sidney, and he gets one day tickets for $10 because they have their annual company picnic in the picnic grove. I agree with the slam on Meijer. I worked (er, slaved) there for 2 years. I'm surprised I stayed that long with the way they treated me.. I'm disgusted with the place to the point where I refuse to shop there. I wouldn't go back if they offered me $20/hr.

I can't wait to see all of this in person.. I bet the photos (amazing as they are) don't do it justice. Things like this really make you appreciate all the hard work everyone puts into the park and the website.

ZOMG THIS IZ MY 1038TH POST, LOOK AT ME, I WANT ATTENTION AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously.. who cares? I'm going to laugh so hard when this pointless, idiotic, and rather immature thread is finally locked.

As far as B&Ms, I've only been on Raptor (floorless) and Mantis (stand up). Mantis was painful on my calves. Raptor pulls some sweet Gs and is a lot of fun.

Gosh it seems like yesterday that I was looking at a muddy clearing thinking they were building a new log flume.. then refusing to believe it when I saw rumors circulating about a B&M hyper being built at my beloved home park, and screaming in delight when I realized it was true. We get to ride it 1 week from today.. it all seems so surreal.

I vote YES! I always have to get either blue ice cream or a blue Icee. My addiction is borderline severe.

That seriously made my heart skip a beat. This is going to be the longest week of my life.

I'm taking it as it comes.. I don't really plan my day at an amusement park. There was one time, on my way up to CP, I was stoked about riding MF until I got there, and then for some reason as soon as I got to the park, TTD looked supremely appealing. I rode it 6 times that day and only rode MF once. So who knows? I do want to ride DB at least once, but I also want to hit Drop Tower, FOF, Beast, Slingshot, first ride on Skyflyer, Invertigo (yes, I like it), and Delirium. Gosh I miss KI so much.. that and several of my CP friends are coming down. I'm so excited for opening day. I miss you guys!!

I wasn't talking about you and you know it. *points* Terpy is being mean to me! *cries and runs away* I do appreciate the grammar correction though. I'll correct my post as needed.

I joined a little over 8 months ago and have over 1k posts, but that is because I am a very enthusiastic and opinionated person with a lot to say. I couldn't care less about post count.. I post so much that I don't even realize when I make it to the next level on here. It irritates me how some people think this is a posting race, so they litter the forums with 946 billion irrelevant one word posts, and make it worse by announcing in bold italic 96 point font that "Z0MGZ they has reached they're 100,000th post." Honestly, who cares? I've seen people with less than 10 posts make a heck of a lot more sense than a lot of what I read on here.
