What better way to announce a new .............. for 2017 than with a huge group of enthusiasts. [emoji1303] lol Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Sounds like CP just bought a 200 ton crane. lol

Something wicked this way comes....hmm I believe that was Disney Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Well Shoot! Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

I would love to see a Giga or an RMC. KI wound be the perfect place for CF to start their relationship with RMC. KI has the land to build an awesome RMC coaster. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Parking for the three-day event is included for non-Gold and Platinum passholders. Those with a Gold or Platinum pass will need to use their SP for parking. Thanks Don, Apparently someone provided me with the wrong information. Usually I don't need to worry, but sadly I am not purchasing a pass this year. But I will be purchasing my 2017 pass as soon as they are on sale in the fall

I contacted the park. Parking is not included. So with that I am not going. $76 plus another $45 for parking is more than what I'm wanting to spend Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Does anyone know before I call the park tomorrow,if parking is included with CoasterStock tickets? Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

From Jeff Putz @ pointbuzz Well, I was hoping to hold on to this until there was more of a story to tell, but... Cedar Fair's relationship with GKTW is changing. The company will not host Coasting For Kids this year, and is instead taking on an exciting new reunion event for the village at a number of its parks. Cedar Fair's participation has helped raise more than $600,000 since 2009, and we're grateful for their leadership in getting the event off the ground. Their new role will provide closer interaction with wish families, and of course they will continue to participate in the Village's Passport program. That means that this year's event will take place at different parks, with the potential to go global. One park has already committed, and we're having discussions to do more. The most exciting change is that this will no longer be a one-day event. In other words... stay tuned! Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Lets take a trip back to last year. And listen to what Greg says at the beginning. Listen how it goes from singular to plural with "ro" then changes to "ri" Just saying. up to you to decide what he is saying https://youtu.be/BIj1zg_9S1I?t=49s

UPDATE: I emailed Kaylee from GKTW. Here is the response. Good Afternoon, Brian! Not sure if you knew that Kaylee’s last day at Give Kids The World was on Friday. While I’m sure she will be back to volunteer from time to time she has left to pursue a lifelong dream. Once we have a replacement for that position we will be in touch to update you on the Coasting For Kids program and any updates that will be taking place this year. Thank you for continuing to support Give Kids The World and the very special children we serve. Have a wonderful day . . .

Can you please confirm if this is true. Myself and others who raise money for this event are puzzled, by apparent social media blogs stating the even is not happening this year. If not, why? Was it a Cedar Fair decision, or GKTW? Thank you Brian Lamm Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

All of Cedar Fair. It appears from what I heard this was a CF decision. But I have no hard facts to support that. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Well it appears that Coasting for Kids is no longer happening. This is coming from Robb Alvey @tpr Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

That just means KI will be spending money on bigger things.

I have the real first rider shirt! Lol Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Just curious. What is the difference between riding it the first day or the second? Oldschool75 not understanding the youth of today's obsession of being first to have something or to do something that millions will do??? Puzzled. [emoji848] Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Banshee? Fury 325? Wonder Mountain's Guardian?? Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

I believe Banshee teasing started very early in 2013. Trains, trains, trains... Seeing a lot of trains. All kinds of them too. Do you see them? Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

...and that penalty for breaking it can be a major one too! Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

When Rob comes in and there are plans on the table, that means they are just about ready for construction. 5 yr plan from my understanding usually refers to bigger projects. Stuff that costs a lot. Lol Going by history, the word is mum until plans are ready to be actioned. I would make a wager that we will be seeing some construction during the season. Hence the tease. Be prepared for teases all season long. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

So I know this was buried in another thread. I thought I would give it it's own thread (that it deserves). Since Malem posted it originally, I just copied his original post.

Something BIG is in the works I'm sure!
