Press Release tomorrow at 11

Um... Diamondback!?

High flying? I'm feeling an extreme zipline! Either that or TRAPEZE: The experience!

Jennifer Burns, with the Warren County Convention and Visitors Bureau says they won't reveal what it is until a press conference at 11 a.m. Wednesday, March 4. She won't even reveal the location of the press conference.

WCCVB Rep 1: "Hey guys, let's hold a press conference, but let's not tell the press where it's going to be. They can find their own way to the super secret location."

WCCVB Rep 2: "Why, that's genius, pure genius! How else could we keep this super secret news until we release it? They can wander around the county, visiting spots they might not have before. We could even expand on that idea... tell people about attractions in Warren County, but not tell them the city they're in. That way, we can insure that all areas of the county are visited!"

If you hold a press conference and nobody comes, is it still a press conference?

I Wonder What It Is.....Probably Has Nothing To Do With "Kinds Island"

Maybe the largest Hot Air Balloon festival in the Midwest! That would be a high-flying adventure...

I Wonder What It Is.....Probably Has Nothing To Do With "Kinds Island"

You are absolutely right. Because I do not know of a place called Kinds Island!

What ever it is, I doubt that there is a large capital investment. Given the current condition of the economy.

^^I'd love some light aircraft rentals!!

Propelling above D-back with just a seat belt...sounds sweet!!

I suspect you have already read about it here first.

Then again, I could be all wet, right Bill?

I hope it's a zip line as well, but I will be pleased with anything new and fun coming to the county!

*cough*Diamondback*cough*

I doubt it's about Diamondback. Why would Warren County be secretive/hold a separate press conference for an attraction that has been already announced?

^they wouldn't. unless there are still some locals who haven't noticed the giant new "red and yellow thing" that you can see from 5 miles away

If it means anything...there is nothing about this on Ohio's Largest Playground

Nothing to do with KI, here is the article...... http://www.western-star.com/hp/content/oh/...ment.html?imw=Y

This newer article mentions something about it being located at Camp Kern...

http://www.western-star.com/hp/content/oh/...9amusement.html

When I was in the fifth grade, I went to Camp Kern for three days/two nights as part of an educational field trip. It was a fun time. I remember on the last day walking to Ft. Ancient and crossing the bridge over the Little Miami River. Fun times.

I do like Camp Kern, however I hope that this "attraction" can be visited without attending the camp. Which I assume it is due to them addressing it as an attraction, which makes me think of a seperate venue.

Im thinking its going to be a ropes course.

That's a good guess. I went to a ropes course in the mountains outside Las Vegas a couple years ago. Not really all that high-flying; mostly pole-climbing, going through a "spider web," falling backwards off a ladder, stuff like that. Those are more for team and personal confidence building. Of course, that doesn't mean they aren't adding exciting new elements to the concept.

Ropes Course with some zip lines and you have the high flying.

Isnt the new attraction going to be Kings Island? i heard alot about this developing park and cant wait to ride all of the roller coasters that are supposed to be opening on the parks opening day!!!!!

Number ONE fan of Kings Island ( even though nobody has ever been there before)

Camp Kern getting a Zip Line

This going to be great!!!! for Warren County Ohio's largest playground:

Great attraction:

Some more details would be nice.

More information, including pricing and length of the adventure can be found in this Cincinnati Enquirer article: http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090304/NEWS01/303040049

^^$75 seems pricey!!

Seriously dont see a high demand for a $75 zip line tour in Ohio. Especially when that is almost the cost of 2 tickets to Kings Island. Folks dont have the disposable income to drop that kind of money.

I bet they'll figure this out the hard way and eventually drop the prices a little.

If they don't drop them more than a little, they won't have it to worry about for long. They will learn a Hard Rock Park lesson, so to speak.

I wonder how much they cost them though, it has to be expensive for them to charge that much! It might be that they are planning on getting the opening month(s) sales at $75 and then when intrest drops move it to around $50, this way they can get enough money to make their attraction worth while and also keeping a at least slightly constant intrest since intrest would spark again as soon as they lower the prices.
