Captain Nemo Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I am so glad that the bidding money for the first riders goes toward a charity! My own personal opinion has always found the self titled "first rider" to be a pompous act but as long as the money goes for a good cause it does not bother me. Can't wait to see this ride in April.

tigellinus Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 ^^Well, nevertheless, as I'm sure many will also point out, there will many "first" riders including employees before any sort of outside public person has the chance to be a "first" rider anyway. Quote

That is a correct statement. Universally the team behind building and planning the ride get the official first ride. Quote

sora_chan Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I found out that it will be bidders who can afford a shiny nickle indeed. As far as I have been able to tell, there will be companies whom will bid, thus raising more money for charity. I'm okay with this fact too. I don't think the auction will be public. I don't care if I don't get the first ride as long as I get to ride! I think it's going to be a lot of fun no matter. Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I would be very surprised if this charity auction were not open to any and all bidders...after all, the more money raised for charity, the better. I doubt seriously that it won't be open to all to bid. Quote
Braves0511 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 True...but unless you have some of those spare shiny nickels, it's unlikely a random person can outbid entire companies.... Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 In this financial environment, I wouldn't count on many companies putting in bids for roller coaster seats at a local park... Quote
Firehawk07 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Maybe Snoopy and Kinzel's Chocolate Pool Adventure! (I can't be the only one who noticed Fort Kinzel at FoF) I noticed that a long time ago (2007 Season) and i also wondered... i'm suprised that it is just being metioned. Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Just as a recap, Fort Kinzel replaced Fort (Jane) Cooper...and did so only after pointed references by a poster here (I don't quite remember who, tee hee) kept pointing out how odd it was Kings Island still had a fort named for a former CEO of the former owner.
