Kings Island Countdown 2.0

Featured Replies

If you have Mac OS X you can keep track of the time remaining until you see your favorite park thriving once again.

An improvement from last offseason's. Smaller file size, smaller widget, bigger anticipation.

Wow iChase, thats pretty cool. Do you know where I could get one that is compatable with Vista? I'd like to have one!

PS- I know next to nothing about widgets, so please speak slowly and use small words, LOL :)

Why are you frowning. Windows XP is prob. the best OS out there.

Ha, the best for windows, not the best out there.

Great work Chase! Removed the old one with this one today, it's a good reminder every time I check the weather.

I'm making a sad face because it won't let me open the file due to me not having the proper OS for the widget to work.

It's OK, I'll just get a generic countdown from blingyblob or something.

I want to try my hand at developing a Windows Gadget. So I'll try and post back. :)

I don't have Mac OS X.. I have Windows XP :(

I'm sorry. :lol:

What, do we know when opening day is already?

We do indeed, Sunday, April 20, 2009.

Well season pass preview day is Friday, April 17th. so wouldn't opening day be on the 18th. or 19th?

Thanks iChase! I have faith in you for the windows gadget. To steal a line from one of my favorite movies... "You can do iittttt!!!!" :)

I have Windows XP (I can't wait until Windows 7 comes out!) and I use Yahoo Widgets. They have tools on the website to create your own, but I still don't know enough to create my own.

Sunday, April 20 was opening day for 2008. I may wet myself if there is actually a season pass preview day as suggested.

It has already been confirmed that there will be a season pass preview day on April 17, 2009.

Good thing I had some clean towels. I'm so excited already!

If anyone develops one for XP; I would like a copy to download.

LOL, watch there be a little teaser video at midnight on April 20th! :lol:

Why does Vista suck so bad. I want my XP back.

You are aware that this topic isn't about that subject, right? :rolleyes:

I hardcoded a gadget to work like iChase's for Sidebar, but can't redistribute it because I just edited a different gadget.

Yeah, but I was going for official opening. For that limited group of non-season pass holders here.

Heh. Water Boy, yes?

^ Of course it's Water Boy! :)

Jasper, i'm with you on the Vista thing. Then again, I was previously running Windows 95, LOL!

are you 100% sure that it is firday, april 17th.

It's a coaster, designed and built by humans, with weather, state inspections, insurance concerns, general economic conditions, etc.

There can be no 100 percent assurance of anything, but the current plan is to have season passholders ride among the first, and on that day.

Things can and do occasionally change...and if they do, you will doubtless read it here, probably first.

Hello all, epic bump here.

I've updated the widget for all those who have it (or those who have yet to get it). It now reflects the earlier opening date, April 18th, instead of April 20th. Also, it's now set to 10:00, instead of 11.

Get it here!

The download link in my original post is updated as well.

Woohoo! I just put it up on my dashboard! Thanks so much, that looks awesome!

Well I've been researching it and I'm going to have to hand code it all. So now I'm going to have to resort to free time. :( Very sorry, Windows users.
