gigacoaster2k Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I was thinking it would be a great idea to have a forum where we can post who is going to which park on what day. Kind of like a meeting forum, so everyone's posts don't get lost in the shuffle with the regular Kings Island forum. Gator has posted a topic on his park trips this year, and that is a great example of what to put in the forum I am thinking about. Coincidentally enough, as I'm writing this, Stephanie (kittenpooh) just texted me and asked me when I am going to Kings Island next. I realize that many members here are regulars and many of us know each other, but this is a great way for the new members to meet up with other forum members at not only Kings Island, but at other parks. It's also a great way for the regular Kings Island forum not to get flooded with topics titled "So who's going on (insert date here)?" I'm just throwing out an idea here. I won't be insulted if you guys decide not to run with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What a great idea! I'd think that a good idea, too, would be to make the subject of each post the date of the park-going. Or possibly even a "Going to the Park" calendar, like the ones for birthdays and events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Great idea! I would love to see this become a reality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOFreak Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yes, I've been thinking the exact same thing for the past few days! Wow, thats kinda cool how this pops up out of nowhere like this. But I seem to really like Terpys idea alot and think that its very creative and useful! Because, I would LOVE to meet some of the KIC Members, but since I'm rarely able to make the trip over there, I'd like to make the most of every visit!

clbehymer Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I love this idea. I did get to meet a lot of you at the off season parties, but was unable to go this past weekend. I am, however, going this Friday and Saturday (24th and 25th). If anyone is there, I would love to say hi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Oh, let's give credit where it is due...this idea is giga's...and we could even have a section to see when she is going to be on her beloved Millie at the Point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOFreak Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yes I do agree that this all Giga's idea, because I didn't speak of it earlier. All I mean't by it is that is a great idea and that I agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCryptRaider Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Great idea! I'd love to be able to see when other KICers are at the park, as I've never really hung out with anyone on here at the park.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yes I do agree that this all Giga's idea, because I didn't speak of it earlier. All I mean't by it is that is a great idea and that I agreed. I wasn't talking about you! I was saying that I don't deserve any credit for just adding a bit to the idea. Giga's got a great one here, and I hope it works out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom76257 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 The dates in my signature are the dates I know FOR SURE that I'll be at the park. If anyone sees that our dates coincide PM me and maybe we can exchange phone numbers to call or text each other so we can meet at the park. I LOVED meeting some of you guys at Opening Day and only briefly got to talk to a few of you. Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What a great idea! Am I the only one who finds it ironic that our very own "Invisible Man" thinks this is a great idea?! <With this post I have finally become a KIC Expert...and I feel just like I did on my 18th birthday, it's all down hill from here! The next title is KIC Senior...God knows that sounds awful...and after that it is a KIC Star Member...could it get any cheesier? (I think these titles are out of order!)

rotag Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 i saw this and thought it was for ideas. if so here is another. while i was in line i got to thinking. all of the land that sits empty with nothing there. i am talking about the spots the general public doesnt notice right off The Bat. why not invest in solar pannels and wind generators that link up to a huge storage shed that can house the batteries? it would greatly reduce the electric bill and pay for itself in the long run. causing; hypothetically speaking; the lowering of price admissions. which would result in more park guests coming to spend there money there on vacation. instead of traveling way far away. just an idea.

Tom76257 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah, that is kind of ironic! I like Terpy's idea for a calendar. Also, maybe someone could start a new topic if they're going to the park like a week ahead of time from when they're going to KI or any other amusement park.

footballfreak Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I think I will be at the park this Friday. Always great having a brother who can give you a ride to the park as he is going there anyway to work. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvo Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 and we could even have a section to see when she is going to be on her beloved Millie at the Point. No need to go THAT far. Especially now that you're a DBack fangirl... traitor! So let me rephrase: "And we could even have a section to see when DVO is going to be on HIS beloved Millie at the Point."

74Gibson Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I too love this idea. I've had so many conversations with many of you but have met no one. That's just weird for me. Also, what could be more fun than riding and hanging with a bunch of enthusiasts? I like Terpy's idea of the calender. Make it interactive so you simply type in the park your going to and everyone can list their names under it. Then have threads titled by park name and date to discuss plans and all.

IndyGuy4KI Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 This is great idea! I want to take it even a step further. I was a little disappointed that I was not able to meet up with some of the groups on Saturday. The second reason I was excited to go to the park, (besides DB) was to get the opportunity to see/meet everyone. Since most people have the web on their phone now, it would be nice to post where we are at in the park at any given time, especially if there is a group together and you want to meet up with them. I don't know if KIC has a tool we could utilize for this besides making a bunch of posts? Maybe there is something is place that I don't know about? We could use something like twitter, but that is using someone else's site? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hi Indyguy4KI well if you have an Iphone a good App for that is called Bubbl'in users create a password and a user name then everyone can see each other on a map (within 10-15 feet). So Far i have no takers to try it at KI but i use it at times to keep track of my drivers to see if they are actually moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Would that work on an Ipod touch? ^^ I'm not sure if KI offers free wifi or not though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that suggestion. I wonder if there are a lot of people with twitter accounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 If your ITouch has GPS in it it should and it works on the 3g which is why the ITouch will not work with that App then as I am figuring out as I type this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
