Beast1979 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Now that the Diamondback Auction is done and done, I'd like to know how many KICentralites have a sucessful bid! I am Seat 111, with a bid of $181! What are you? Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Has the park notified you that you have won? Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I didnt't bid so I will be waiting in line. O well. Quote
coasterguy15 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Seat 70, $300. My name is messed up, it should be Griffin H. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I'm seat 169, Angela M. I just hope the park calls to confirm tonight, instead of tomorrow while I am at work and cannot answer my cell phone. By the way, thanks Danielle (keiko_coaster) and Kat (violakat03) for texting me while I was at work to let me know I had won and what seat number I was, so I didn't have to wait 7 more hours until I was off work to know. You girls rock. Quote
adventure2007 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Howdy everyone, I am an official auction winner!!!!!! I was notified first by phone and then by email. My bid post was 71st with a bid of 300 dollars. I am looking forward to the ride and to meet all who have won. It is going to be a great day!!!!!!!! I think it is a beautifull thing that the Kid Again foundation is going to be recieving a 102,000 dollar donation. It goes to show that in times like these there are still kind hearts that are willing to give to those in need. What an awesome way to start of the 2009 Kings Island season !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey! We'll be sitting next to each other! This'll be cool! Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 I was notified by phone and e-mail earlier today. Even cooler: I just finished a phone interview with a reporter from the Cincinnati Enquier, saying she would try to meet-up with me on Saturday and post some of my quotes in the Enquirer either Tomorrow or Sunday! I think Don may be liking me; she mentioned how Don told her that I had some cool Parks online and how I was a good kid to go to...... Edit: And now a call from Channel 5, saying they will mention my name on the 6:00 News, and possibly have me on camera tomorrow! Quote
G-Force Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I'm in at spot 171! I haven't been notified yet, but hopefully the contacting goes by the order of the bids and there is no problem! Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 As of right now it looks like KICentral's bid finished 26th with an amount of $825.00. Quote

Dvo Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Apparently I've won three seats, even though I really only want one. My bid went below the line right around the time the auction closed (and it happened again with my increased bid), so I added another. And then after the auction closed and I had my one winning bid in place, they decided to run 2 more trains, making all of them successful. Awesome. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Fret not. I am pretty sure this can be fixed...and make two other people very, very happy. Quote
tigellinus Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I got my bid confirmed! Two interesting things...1st, after you check in at the front gate you can head straight to Rivertown Junction! 2nd, at Rivertown Junction....free breakfast!! I can't say it'll be...oh, my catering terminology learned from my bro is failing me! I'm not sure they'll have everything, but I think Giga/Angie need not worry about bringing her blueberry muffin!! I also hope at some point after checking in I can swing by a restroom en route to RJ! I don't think there'd be a prob with that? Either way, I'm definitely looking forward to Saturday now more so than ever! Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I am quite certain restroom access will not be a problem for auction winners. Y'all are royalty, who did great things, after all. Surely the park will let its people go, so to speak! Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 Sorry if I'm coming off as bragging, but here is the online article in which I am mentioned: http://www.wlwt.com/entertainment/19191159/detail.html Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 At least you didn't say you found it on the Internet. (Where IS Italian Chef, anyway?) Quote

Beast1979 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 Let's hope for a slow news day tomorrow, if so I'll have a live interview as a follow-up story. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks for bidding, Jackson. You and many others have made KIC very proud! Quote
Atomheartmother616 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Talk about an added bonus you do a wonderful charitable gift, get the honor of riding a ride 22 million dollar ride first, no line waiting, and get to be honored in print and video!! Wow just wow whats next a documentary? A movie? World tour? Lol None the less cheers to you all very very cool!!!!! Crazy thing is some maniacs go to great lengths and do ridiculous things to get media attention (umm britney, lynsey, octomom, any random moron breaking the law) and all it took was to care enough to help.. Its a rare beautiful change!! Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 Thanks for bidding, Jackson. You and many others have made KIC very proud! No problem, I mentioned in my Enquirer interview about me being a member of KIC and gave the link to KICentral.com. Wow just wow whats next a documentary? A movie? World tour? Lol Shhhh.........

Ogrmac Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Congrats Jackson!! It is refreshing to hear GOOD news being reported for a change. You should be very proud of yourself for helping make a difference in someone's life! Quote
G-Force Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 So it looks like the winners will be getting a breakfast at Rivertown Junction, we might have to make a KIC table! Quote
coasterguy15 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 That sounds like a good idea! I'll be alone so I'd be happy to join anyone else Quote
G-Force Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Has everybody gotten their calls yet? I've gotten the e-mail but no phone call. Quote
