CoastersRZ Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Not to mention that it is still listed on Kings Island`s official website. For now just be excited that opening day for the park and Diamondback is less than two weeks away! And by the time opening day is here, I will have less than two months left in college! Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Coastermania is almost a month after RWW, and they have already released information on their Schedule, special events, and discount packages...... Quote
DropZone99 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Just to remind you, Coaster Fanatics Premium Membership is now accepted for Ride Warriors Coaster Weekend. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Yes, and one big difference between Ride Warriors Coaster Weekend and Coastermania at Cedar Point is that Cedar Point has been holding Coastermania for many many years. The park knows how to run the event and what planning is necessary for a park run event. With KI and RW, it is their first park sponsored event, so there is a little more lead time in ironing out the final details to make sure the event goes off flawlessly. Rest assured, if Ride Warriors Coaster Weekend is anything like Coastermania, you will be very pleased with the event, and very very tired. I went to Coastermania in 2007. Nothing like being at CP riding Millennium Force at soon after sun rise, and not leaving the park until 12:30am with a night ride on Magnum! Talk about a LONG day at the park! Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 How will members here have a way of proving at the gate that they are a KIC member, much less a member before February 1, if they are not a member of any other approved coaster club? Quote
CoastersRZ Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 The specifics of that will be announced soon. There will be a way to prove both of the things you asked, and will likely involve bringing some form of printout to the park when checking in. Quote

You are absolutely right. I went to Coastermania in 2008 and it was a blast. We started with a ride on Millie soon after daylight and ended the day with trim brake free rides on Magnum and Gemini! Dragster was also running until about 12:30am too. If KI does RWW the way Coastermania is done, it will be one fantastic event. Well worth waiting for. Hopefully with trim brake free rides and all!!

I've heard little tidbits of information here and there from under the Black Hat and I can tell you that if you liked Coastermania, you'll LOVE Ride Warriors Coaster Weekend. Quote
The Beast Rider Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 ^ I like your black hat. He seems like he could be very handy to have!! Quote
Raptor Jo Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Dog and horse sitters lined up-hotel reservations made! Hubby and I are so there! "Beast Bash" has always been such a great event-I am sure Ride Warriors going to be just as awesome! Diamondback is going to totally rock-I am sure it is going to knock Nitro right off my fav steel list! Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I can assure you, from what I have heard, this event will make Beast Bash look like tea and crumpets with a county magistrate by comparison! Terpy, who will be riding Diamondback in the night row, in due time Quote
standbyme Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I check this site daily because I don't want to miss the announcement and the event gets all booked up before I notice...I have already scheduled to be at the park on May 9th & 10th...I just hope they don't announce the event while I am at the park and I miss it. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Well, I wouldn't think they'd wait til May 9 and 10 to announce it while you are at the park, but the way things are going.... Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Why do I start to get the sneaking suspicion that this event is not going to happen. It just seems like its preview day all over again. Vague promises and as the event draws near, silence until the word is reluctantly passed down it wont be happening... I hope Im wrong, but its not like CF is not used to hosting events, and it seems weird that now that we are one month out from the event no other information has been passed down. You took the words right out of my mouth. I had to post repeatedly in another topic before I finally wrenched a clear answer out of someone about opening day. Keeping people guessing is all fun and games to a point, but then it comes down to reality: some of us like to make plans, especially what time to arrive to an event.. if such details are not available, there are some people that will scrap plans entirely. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 And Cedar Fair will then lose out on more than a few nickels. Sigh. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Posted April 14, 2009 Great news! I just got my hands on some new information about Ride Warriors Coaster Weekend: The festivities will include ERTs on DB, Beast, Vortex, Backlot Stunt, Racer, Firehawk and Flight of Fear, and last rides on DB. The event will also include behind-the-scenes tours of The Beast, Son of Beast and Racer. Keep checking KICentral as more details, including how to register, will be posted soon! Quote
DropZone99 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I hear official details will be out Friday. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Wow this is exciting news. I can't wipe the smile off my face. I am so excited for this event (not reflected in my earlier posts today, but I'm over it!). Quote
markhudson17 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I can't wait. Hopefully I can find a ride down there both days to go. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I'm going for sure on the 9th. The 10th is a maybe right now. Quote
goofywdw Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Unfortunately I am unsure I will be able to attend this event. I just don't have the money and need to hours to work. Hopefully there will be a KIC Event I can go to. Quote
kiruler102 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 your lucky goofy. i work at frichs and i am lucky if i get 8 hours a wk i only work on Thursdays- sundays. This weekend i only work for 2 Hrs. Quote
goofywdw Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Apply to KI! You can get lots of hours. As the even comes closer though I will be able to make a better decision as to what to do. I'm sure having to pay for the Nickelback concert in August doesn't help my chances either. Quote
Losantiville Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 great news! If it's anything like Coastermania it will be a lot of fun. Can't wait to see all the details. Quote
SOBFOF Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Just to make sure, your aloud to go to the event if a registered member on or before February 1st? I've heard on or before but on the park site it says before Feb. 1st?! Quote
kiruler102 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 ya but i already tried goofy and they said no. plus i live 45 minutes from the park! Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Posted April 14, 2009 Anyone who was a registered member of KICentral on or before February 1st, 2009 can attend the event as a KIC member. Otherwise you need to join one of the other organizations. Quote
