Jaredap88 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 obviously im new to the forum and i was wondering how often people see each other from the forums. it would be neat to make new friends and see everyone at the park throughout the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawana Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Well, once you get to know what people look like, you'd be surprised at who's actually at the park at a given time. I've run into Gator, Topgun 1993, Beast 1979, PKIboy, Tubaman, and others while at the park. Obviously, attending the KIC events is a good way to meet up with folks, and I've seen others state that they are going to the park on a certain day and if anyone else is going, maybe they meet up. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 If you're good friends with members on the forum then pretty often outside of the park. I'd say typically every thursday depending on the member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I run into forum members all the time, just not at the park. I've had class with DeLorean Rider for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Besides at events, I have only ran into a few KIC people. When I suspect I see a Coaster Geek, I start talking about KIC kinda loud so they'll hear me and join in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I suspect I see a Coaster Geek, I start talking about KIC kinda loud so they'll hear me and join in. I do too! I try to mention it at every turn of the conversation. As for people from KIC, I usually see the mod team walking around and a few people here that work on rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I definitely see forums members at KI all the time...one time, I even ran with one to Firehawk during the ROTBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I ran into one of my regular customers from work at KI one day, so we rode the blue Racer together before his son called and wanted to meet somewhere else in the park. Last year at CP, I got out of my car in the SC lot to see two mods from another website I'm on. We walked and talked to the gate, did the Maverick ROTB and rode about 4 rides before they had to go to work, since they were both ride ops too.

raptor Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I think it would be cool to have some kind of regular meetup, but it probably would be tough to get something like that gong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaredap88 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'd be for that. Just a little something on the weekends or something. It wouldn't be too hard if set up far enough in advance i wouldn't think. But hey what do i know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be too hard if set up far enough in advance i wouldn't think. But hey what do i know? Most of us post in our signatures or in some topics when we are going on our next trip, and some of us post the day of and/or what we are wearing so we can be identified (if by chance we are spotted). I do that most of the time, but sometimes I'm guilty of taking spontaneous solo road trips to CP or KI.. then I'll get a call or text "what u doin" and I'll send them a pic of one of the coasters.

Jasper Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Besides at events, I have only ran into a few KIC people. When I suspect I see a Coaster Geek, I start talking about KIC kinda loud so they'll hear me and join in. I do the same exact thing. I yell like, "Hey, On that KIC website I go to they said blah blah blah!" Hopefully someone answers me which usually never happens. I haven't really met up with a anyone but I have waited in line with Bavarian Beetle for SOB and didn't even know it. I have also met Gordan Bombay and Neme while they were working at The Beast.

XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 It's the mass of people running to a ride when the park drops the rope to allow them into the various areas of the park. Most recently seen for Firehawk, and will undoubtedly be for Diamondback this year. A dangerous practice if you ask me, I would much prefer if they escorted people back by carrying the rope to the ride, with everyone staying behind said rope.

Tomkatt7 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Not a memeber from here, but, One time, I called in sick to work, the family and I drove down to KI for the day. While we were there, I ran into a co-worker that did the same thing!!! That was pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 ^ That is pretty funny. I never ran into anyone here by accident but heck I wouldn't know if I did. I did run into some people from KIAslyum while it was around. I did go to the first ever KICentral park meeting back a few years ago but most of those members no longer post here. I wouldn't mind meeting some peeps at the park but I am kind of shy around new people. I don't know why I wish I wasn't but thats just the way it is.
