indianapolisman Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Ok I'm set to go made plans with another forum member and received my confirmation email from KI about the auction. THEN THIS HAPPENS AT 4:00pm TODAY. Dear Valued Customer, Please note that you may have accidentally received an email recently notifying you that you were one of the high bidders for this Saturday’s Diamondback First Rider Auction. Unfortunately, after looking through our records and receiving calls from fellow bidders we noticed that the congratulatory email was sent to more people than it was originally intended for. Thank you for your participation in our auction. However, with the overwhelming response your bid was greatly appreciated but did not qualify for the first ride opportunity. Therefore, your credit card will not be charged for the donation amount you specified and you will not need to check in by 7am at Kings Island. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns at 513-754-5430. Thank you for your understanding. Don’t forget if you are a Gold Pass or Platinum Pass holder Kings Island will offer early rides on Diamondback beginning at 9am. Sincerely, Kings Island Staff This after I called repeatedly with no answers just a disconnection. I gotta know what's going on. Plans have been made plans have been cancelled. Now the park lines are closed. What can I do????? Quote
DeLorean Rider Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 You can get in line at 9 o'clock with a gold pass, or buy a ticket and get in line at 10 o'clock. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 You can get back to Diamondback to get in line to ride at 9 o'clock with a gold or platinum pass, or buy a ticket and get back to Diamondback to get in line to ride at 10 o'clock. As amended by the Terpster. Quote
Avatar Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Don't know but I can see on the official Diamondback Auction Board that you are still above the yellow line so I can see how you received one of those congratulatory e-mails, but not sure now if you gotten the last retractable Diamondback e-mails maybe that was in error. I hope you can get a hold of somebody soon, I know you have made a lot of changes to make this trip work. Good Luck Quote

As amended by the Terpster. Got no problem with that. But I have cancelled a rental car$$. Invited someone to join me in the auction whom i'm riding with. Just hoping this reaches the eyes of the beholder. Quote
indianapolisman Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 Hope everything works out for ya! Thanks, I'll let you all know the outcome. Quote
DeLorean Rider Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Do you already have a park season pass? Does winning a seat in the auction include admission to the park? Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Yes, winning a seat in the auction includes an admission to the park, which can be used by another if the auction winner has a pass/ticket already. Quote
indianapolisman Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 Do you already have a park season pass? Does winning a seat in the auction include admission to the park? Have a PP renwed in NOV. Quote
Skywriter Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Yes you get admission to the park and a special gift from the park which i have no ideal what it is will someone please tell me what it is. I did not bid so I will be in the Gold/Platinum Pass line. Quote

I did not bid so I will be in the Gold/Platinum Pass line. I dont think anyone's recieved their "special gift" yet. Quote
coasterguy15 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 I hope that the special gift is truly something special! I know that the breakfast at RJ was an unexpected thing, that might be the special gift. I kind of doubt that though. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Today I missed the call while I was at work. I ran back to the back room, called back and told them I was at work, and they asked what a good time to call back would be. I said after 3. It is now 6:30 pm, and I didn't get a call back. I hope I don't miss the call (again) tomorrow while I'm working, and I certainly hope it won't be too late if I call back after 3 pm. Quote
coasterguy15 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 You could probably look at your missed calls and call that number to get back ahold of them. That's what I did. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 I was told by someone who works there that there is no one there after 5 pm. Quote
indianapolisman Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 *UPDATE* Kings Island has contacted me! They handled this situation just as I knew they would. Very apologetic and curtious to the situation. I will be enjoying a spot in the aution ride My deepest thanks goes out to anyone from this forum who helped in any way. Sean Quote
