Young Gunz Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 My sources under the black hat at Kings Island tell me that Coaster EXT, which used to be at Geauga Lake will be moved to Kings Island this coming season and will be open to all accredited coaster clubs, but will be the only coaster club event next year.

The Interpreter Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I doubt sincerely that your sources are right. THAT event may well be held at Kings Island, but I doubt sincerely it will be the only such event. Parks are, after all, in the business of making money. Not to mention that plans change...

BoddaH1994 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I've heard that rumor as well. I wonder how they'll do it since it's typically the day after Coastermania at Cedar Point. I bet they either change the day or make it an evening-only event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuskin Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 They will probably change the day if it happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I doubt it...given how that event is scheduled, I can see a later beginning, with perhaps a later ending in the night, too. . .The whole point of the EXT thing was to add something to the Cedar Point event for the attendees at another Cedar Fair park...and changing the day would make the tradition of travelling from park to park a bit less easy, I particularly can't see them scheduling the event before Coastermania...too many people actually DO work, and investors, not just park and coaster nuts, go to Coastermania.

BoddaH1994 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Makes me curious as to how it will affect some of the coaster clubs that are more expensive. One costs $60 and another costs $20. If you're just in it for the events, the decision is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Jo Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Makes me curious as to how it will affect some of the coaster clubs that are more expensive. One costs $60 and another costs $20. If you're just in it for the events, the decision is clear. I have been an ACE member since 1998. I signed up just for CoasterMania. The following year I signed up for GOCC and have been a member since. I still stay an ACE member but specifically for the exclusive KI events years past (ACE SOAR and Beast Bash) But since the rumors are flying we may say ba bye to those events (and knowing Cedar Fair I don't doubt it) I don't see any reason to spend the $$ for ACE when it won't benefit me any more than GOCC does.

CoastersRZ Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 No need for the double posting JacksonPKI. The boards have an edit feature if you forgot something in your previous post. Double posts is less convenient for all of us, and especially those with slower internet connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Jo Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 How old do You have to be to be an ACE Coaster Member? http://www.aceonline.org/ http://gocc.coasternewsnetwork.com/ There is nothing I can see on their websites about age restrictions but I could have missed it. Back to the CoasterEXT discussion-- Wondering if such a good idea if KI has it the day after CoasterMania? Reason being to have EXT at GL after Mania was only an 1.5 hour drive from CP, that made sense. I am not so sure alot of people are going to be willing to drive the 4+ hour drive from CP to KI. I hope KI is aware of the (lack of) crowds who even bothered to go to GL the day after. I for one was ALWAYS there (LOVED Dominator ) and there were a few regulars but by far nothing like the crowd at Mania. I personally think a separate event on a separate day. Any one else's feelings? And I sure hope that both parks do an actual Mania/EXT t-shirt for us. GL always had the most awesome EXT t-shirts for us. Last year CP did a combo CP/GL/KI shirt thanks to Con but they were kinda lame (sorry Bryan) and by far not what most of us had in mind.

BoddaH1994 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Plans for Coaster EXT are not finalized, however I believe that you will find it being an evening event with a picnic and a big ERT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
