violakat03 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Jackson, you're famous in Dayton too!! They just mentioned you on WHIO-TV news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Wow news travels fast! It is truly remarkable how much money was raised for this excellent organization. What is more amazing is that this amount was raised during such a difficult economic time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I also received a confirmation email, but no phone call yet. I hope that they do not call while I am at work tomorrow.. Thursday is our busy day and I will be lucky to stop for 5 minutes to grab half a sandwich! Way to go Jackson. I'm excited for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufnstuf Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I came home for lunch to find a message from Eric at King's Island saying I had a winning bid. He told me to call him back at 513-754-6223 (which is no longer in service). I then called the number the call came from 513-754-5802 which went to a voice mail message from an intern who said he didn't work there anymore and instructed me to call the 800 number. After 20 minutes on hold I got an operator who had no idea what I was talking about. Her supervisor said she would call someone and have them call me back. I have to leave the house for most of the rest of the day and we are leaving first thing in the morning for GWL. Does anyone have a number I can call to confirm my payment? Thanks, Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustbucket Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I am 184 and 185. I got an email notification to show up at KI by 7 AM. BTW, some of the workers got to ride this. Some were getting off crying. I cannot wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPTP Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hello all! Long time lurker, 1st time poster! Eric I am having the exact same problem trying to get back with Eric Burger. I sent a reply to his e-mail. If I hear anything, I'll reply through here. Hopefully if anyone else gets through, they will do the same. Anyways I'm Rider 165 and going solo so hopefully I can put some faces to some names I've seen on here. See you all on Saturday morning, bright and shiny!

CPTP Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Eric- Use the 5802 number for Eric from Kings Island. He just called after having read my e-mail reply. He said he will be at the 5802 number but the voice mail is wrong right now. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racerrider Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I've got a live interview with Channel 5 at my house at 3:30 live as in they're cutting into doctor phil? Or is it going to be on at like 5 or 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 ^That is so cool! Why are you in all of the news reports? Out of 256 people, they chose you. Do you know why? Also, where do you live? I am going to show up at your house and be in the background . Then I can be famous too. Do you know what time the interview will be on TV? Also, Racerrider, I think he means it will be on the news at like 5 or 6. He means 'live' as in there will be someone at is house and he'll be talking 'live' with them, not on the phone.

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. Hah no problem. I checked at 8:31 just for you Ps. Im expecting some rides Saturday when i get there at 6:15 PM. haha!

Beast1979 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Just finished the interview about half an hour ago. It went great, expect to see lots of pictures of me on rides. I've got a live interview with Channel 5 at my house at 3:30 live as in they're cutting into doctor phil? Or is it going to be on at like 5 or 6? No, live as in there with me. ^That is so cool! Why are you in all of the news reports? Out of 256 people, they chose you. Do you know why? Also, where do you live? I am going to show up at your house and be in the background . Then I can be famous too. Do you know what time the interview will be on TV? Out of 256 people, I was choosen because Don Helbig recomended me. No joke! Each reporter said that "Don Helbig told me your a cool guy to go to and that you're really hooked on it....." The interview will be on TV sometime tomorrow. I will have a mention in the paper on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondback FOF Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 How does Don Helbig know? Also, if you find out what time, can you PM me so I can watch it or record it? Also, what channel was it for? Last question, can someone please post it on Youtube tomorrow? PS- I don't need any 'Yes' answers from you Terpy . Or (insert name) either .

Beast1979 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 The first words out of my mouth when I saw me on TV: "My voice sounds like THAT?!?" In other news, After seeing so much footage of Kings Island and Diamondback, I couldn't be more excited. I'd be lucky if I get 30 minutes of sleep tonight, I can't wait to experience this landmark beast! Now, to go watch "National Lampoon's Vacation".
