NOTE: Crappy photo quality ahead, I had to use my phone because my camera was dead. Whenever I had to majorly zoom in the picture quality turned terrible. Go figure.

We left. The window outside looked like this the entire time.

Time for the yums.

I suck at this game

Yesterday Paul told me about Trader's World, a big flea market near KI. Needless to say, it's theming was rather... random.

After we walked around Trader's World for a while and purchasing a hat to wear in the cold, we drove to GWL. I SEES MEH A FLIGHT DECK!

-insert Chiropractic joke here-

The GWL tour was a little shorter than expected... The waterpark is great.

My timing to get the raft was bad.

I didn't take many pictures in GWL, it didn't seem that photogenic.

Okay, time to walk to KI on our nice, cleared pathway.

YEAH RIGHT! FAIL!!!!!

OMG! Is that...?

No...

OMG! Is that...?

YES!!!! OMG IT IS!!!!

Wait... nope.

OMG! Is that...?

YES! IT IS!!!!

Next Post for more pictures...

This sums up the view from IR

To your right, Diamondback.

I-Street

Waterpark man!

Diamondback!

Tower!

It's neat seeing the fountains empty.

This blurry guy is Don. He gave a lot of good info on the 2009 season!

I didn't take any more pictures. Sorry! I leave you with a shadow of Diamondback... again. Crappy quality.

Overall, the event ran smoothly and very well! I had a good time! I can't wait 'til February 21st so we can actually tour Diamondback!

I'll be posting my trip report as soon as I finish it. Jasper, I got you a photo of DT, just like I said I would.(along with every other member too )

Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who came out to the park on Saturday! As I said at the event, Mother Nature really didn't work with us too well this time, but I hope everyone had fun with the activities at the Great Wolf Lodge and up in the International Restaurant. I'm sure no one will forget about the time they had to trek through the snow back and forth between Kings Island and the Great Wolf Lodge, right?

Speaking of the Lodge, I got an email from their PR person thanking us for coming out. They really enjoyed showing off what they have to offer. She said you guys were a great crowd.

Have fun!

As I mentioned at the end of my presentation, you can check out Coney Island Central for more information on Coney Island. The website can be found at www.coneyislandcentral.com

Hey I have a request... In the back room of the restaurant the King Cobra letters from the sign were displayed. Some people were taking pictures during our break and I didn't have the camera at that time. Can someone put the picture up of the sign? I believe it was Beast1979 that was snapping a picture as I was back there. So Jackson, can you help me out?

that would be neat to see i agree

I mentioned that very thing on the way home. This will definitely be one of those "do you remember the time that..." stories! Thanks for a wonderful event!

I was going to drop them a line and thank them for the tour. It's really nice that they allowed us to come and see the propery, and it was very impressive. Do any of you guys have an email contact for their PR department?

I was back in that room as well and caught a picture of the King Cobra letters as well as the old Drop Zone Skycoaster sign

I like how you started your TR out...it's honest and was funny. After reading that line I set the "bar" lower and enjoyed your report. It's too bad you had camera problems...I hate when that happens.

I am also sorry I never got a chance to say hi at the event...I was at the table right next to you...I was enjoying that your Dad? looked like he was about to fall asleep during the speaker's presentations! (The things parents do for their kids.)

^ Haha! Yeah, he gets bored easily.
