Frank Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I just put my hubby on coaster community. It was easy. I hope that works. Is KICentral the only ones with a deadline when you can join to attend the ride weekend? I just hope this works. Is a pretty neat site. But im a true KICentral fan We appreciate your support! There are countless coaster enthusiast events at countless parks and allowing KICentral -- a fan site, not an enthusiast group -- participate is a privileged that is simply unprecedented. The unfortunate risk you run doing something like this is it could quickly become a Gold Pass event -- which it isn't. Ride Warriors Weekend is intended to be for the most loyal and enthusiastic fans and it simply isn't fair to other participants (KIC or otherwise) for 1,000 people to show up by simply registering on this web site, so the line had to be drawn somewhere. This site is amazing. I know I haven't been on here long but Im on here every time I get a chance. I love the PRIVILEGE of being apart of this group. I can't wait till I get to meet some of you! I completely understand about putting a deadline on being able to join. I do believe that a spouse should be able to join the member though I think that working on this weekend will be fun and exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlfox_21 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I am seriously considering going for this. I want to make an Ohio/Indiana vacation plan for this coming summer. I hope to attend Kings Island, Cedar Point, Holiday World, and try to make it to a Reds Baseball game. I am especially hopeful to make it to Holiday World, as I have never been there before. I tried to make time for it last summer, but it simply did not happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 ^^You do know CP's opening day is May 16th? That'll be a long trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braves0511 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Sad day...sort of...I can't go now, I get out of school on the 8th, and have to turn around and report at Cedar Point on the 11th...which happens to be my birthday...There's no way I could come home and then turn around and leave for the summer again with no preparation...

flightoffear1996 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 ^^ I usually go to Cedar Point twice a year. Its a pretty fun park. Sad thing is man as much as I love roller coasters and theme parks I have only been to Geagua Lake, Cedar Point, Kings Island, Coney Island, Striker Groove, and Universal Studios Flordia. Very sad I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlfox_21 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 ^^You do know CP's opening day is May 16th? That'll be a long trip. All at once....No Way! To be able to go to these parks will probably take a few 3 day weekends, through the course of a few months. I wish I had that much free time. To be fair, I am really looking forward to Diamondback at Kings Island. I am most eager to go to Holiday World, because I have never been there, and I love new experiences. And 2nd I am looking forward to Cedar Point as I have not been to this park, or anywhere north of Columbus since June, 2003. I take that back, I have been to The Wilds in Zainesville, Ohio. But that's east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaredap88 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 okay im sure its been asked earlier but...well...that was a lot of reading and well...you know how it is. i joined KICentral Feb 9th...shoot..missed the deadline.....BUT....i plan on getting a gold season pass........can i still go? or is it like...you have to have both.... you'll have to forgive me im a weeee bit slow haha...so if someone could kindly spell that out for me that would be great...it would be awesome to go. the idea of "behind the scenes tours" is absolutely amazing to me and i'd LOVE to be a part of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrstacy98 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 BooBuzz event at CP which was pretty nice last year (I got 9 rides during ERT on Maverick - and it ended up being the busiest day of the year). October 11, perhaps? I remember you said in my PTR that you saw me on the train in the MF station sometime that weekend. The lines that day were downright ridiculous.. Milly's line was out of the queue almost to the lockers, TTD's line was out of the queue past the grandstand, and Maverick's line was wrapped around the queue and backed up to Chick-Fil-A. I wasn't sure I was going to make it out of CP alive. October 11 was BooBuzz - and from what I've been told it was *the* busiest day of the year - Heck, we waited in line 45 minutes, maybe more, just for Corkscrew because we had time to kill before the meal. After 10am, my brother only got on 5 rides that day - Wicked Twister was like a 2 hour wait. I saw you on MF Nov 2nd, when there was no line, the gates were open, we were waiting for the next car and I saw you go by especially with the KI sweatshirt I figured it was you (and I was right) - then we had to skidaddle over the final ride of the season line so my kiddos could ride. <sniff> ya know, I really hate Winter!

BoddaH1994 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah, originally you were not permitted to bring a guest. That was changed. Once again however, all guests must pay the $47.99 -- whether or not they have a season pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
