Ki Man Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Here's my take. Ready? Go. Oh wow, it's been quite a while since I've seen these two. Suspended....ICICLES! The Lobby of the GWL...now home of the Diamondback Model. Waterpark....THROUGH THE WINDOW!!!! Woah woah woah....there's a coaster in there? My credit count goes up one. 'Okay....so you can either walk through the North Pole....or drive over and walk half way through.' We walked. Oh yeah, we got to look at the new coaster, too. It starts there....then goes allllllll the way overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr here. [ Invertigo's looking nice....blah, I still don't like that name. Face/Off! Face/Off! Face/Off! I tried to hold it in. Diamondback communicates with aliens by using those probes on the side of the lift. I can't wait for this hill. What we're all here for...well, i think. We'll get to meet Diamondback eventually. Diamondback....THROUGH THE TREES! Ryan, our KIC leader. Thanks for the event! Gordon's all...'grr....I never get any face time with Don' The lift's the thing that stands out the most. A close up. Diamondback can be seen from everywhere. A very beautiful coaster....beautiful. Time to switch lenses. Kings Island's International Street still covered in snow. Signature shot. Tag yourselves. Some parts of the International Restaraunt. Create your own name tag. I see junior wooden roller coaster 1. Sign covered in snow. Vortex popping up over the frozen trees. It's all about Diamondback. Nick Licastro of Boomerang Bay and park cleanliness. He claims KI strives to be the best...even over Holiday World. Best of luck! Robbie giving a history/info lesson on CI and KI. KI looked pretty much ike this all over. It was really fun talking to different people from KIC's forum. Thanks for the good time even though there was some improv needed because of the lack of the Diamondback tour, and I'll be back on the 21st. Quote
DropZone99 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Wow, you guys had Pepsi products! Lucky! Last time I ate in the International Restaurant we had nasty Coke... Quote
Ki Man Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 Coke > Pepsi Coke Zero > Pepsi Max Cherry Coke/Vanilla Coke > Pepsi's version. Subway was great too! Quote
dare-to-fly Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Pepsi was on sale, plain and simple. We were wondering about that on the trip home and came to the conclusion that wherever the drinks came from must have had Pepsi products on sale! Right again. Quote
coaster_junky Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Pepsi was on sale, plain and simple. wow, my guess was it was hint as to what we will be drinking/buying in the park Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 It isn't. As has been discussed here again and again, the Coke contract has years to run still. On the way out the door, Paramount Parks signed a seven year contract with Coke. http://www.allbusiness.com/services/amusem.../4570502-1.html Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Gordon's all...'grr....I never get any face time with Don' Hahaha, that's funny. Quote
Kawana Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Thanks for the PTR. Sorry I didn't get to meet you, maybe next time. Quote
Ki Man Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 Yeah, I didn't really get a chance to walk around and meet everyone....I'll be back on the 21st, though! Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 ^Yeah, I didn't even know you were there! But I plan on being there on the 21st too, so maybe I'll see you then. Quote
Cory Butcher Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I see a picture of you J.D.!!! Standbyme, you didn't even have to ride the Carousel this time! Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 StandByMe is reportedly very close to the CaroSUESSel at this time...at a Walt Disney kind of world...so he likely won't be replying soon, unless he is a blackberry picker or sumthin'! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...;VideoID=813475 Quote
Avatar Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Standbyme flew out of Indianapolis very early Sunday morning to an undisclosed place (but I am sure he is happy there). So I don't think we will hear much from him until sometime next week. Although I do know he really dislikes to have his picture taken and dislike it more to have it posted. I found this out the hard way once, he was very polite about it though. Sorry Terpy you beat me to the post. I can tell you with almost 99.9% certainty he will not be posting with any hand held devices at least for a while down the road. Also I did not know anything Universal about his trip. Quote
Cory Butcher Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Yes, but that does not mean that he will not see the picture and/or any comments and messages he may have received while he was gone! Quote
Ki Man Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 Thanks for the comments, guys. I might do some cropping on the pictures for some closer looks at the lift/track. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Ki Man: Two things... 1) Can you please fix the link to the photograph of Ryan, Don and me? 2) Do you care if I use that photograph on my facebook? Quote
Ki Man Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 Is there something wrong with link or photo? You can take the link or just save the pic to your computer =) And sure. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Link seems to be working now, thank you much good sir. Quote
standbyme Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Zach, Like I mentioned when I was talking to you, I have always liked your TR's...thanks for doing one on this trip. It was also great finally meeting you. See ya, J.D. P.S. Thanks for doing a "Keyser Soze" with my photo...and just like that, i'm gone! Quote
Ki Man Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks, J.D.! Will I be seeing you on the 21st? Quote
standbyme Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 ^I don't know yet...I am not sure if I work...and I am also trying to rationalize if it is worth the long trip back. See ya...maybe, J.D. Quote
