You stated Diamondback 10:30pm - 1:30pm Ryan. Are they going to close the ride to the public? That would be sweet on our part, but pretty crappy to the public.

I'm stoked that Backlot is in the lineup. I for one love the ride, but hate waiting so long in line for it.

Well the park closes to the public at 10. So there's nothing crappy about it at all!

EDIT** I also think it's supposed to say 10:30 PM to 1:30 AM

ohhh.... Stupid mistake on my part. I saw the PM behind 1:30.

Night rides make it even better.

You could print the page that showed you were registered...

Terpy, who has visions of old Mrs. Callabash saying: "I'm sorry, Mr. YourNameHere, we have no record of your registration, the park opens at 10 and closes at 10...enjoy your day at Para...uh...Kings Island."

I never saw a page that showed my registration. All I got was a "Thank you for registering, if you need to buy tickets for a guest, click here." screen.

Pleased be advised that not only must you register a guest with you when you register, but you also must purchase any necessary tickets at the time of registration.

Me and my luck with computers.... What if you don't have a printer connected to the computer used to register you on? :-/

I am not sure if i will go or not, wife works that weekend (she is the only one I like to ride with, other people I know aren't as fun) but I registered us just in case. the park said ALL guests must purchase a ticket, but I called and the lady said platinum pass holding guests need not purchase tickets. I hope she was right.

^I was wondering that too.

Here's the breakdown:

• Kings Island Gold Pass/Cedar Fair Platinum Pass AND Member of a Coaster Club -- FREE
• Kings Island Gold Pass/Cedar Fair Platinum Pass and you are coming as a coaster club member's guest it's $47.99 for adults and $31.99 for jr/sr.
• NOT a Kings Island Gold Pass/Cedar Fair Platinum Pass holder, but you ARE a member of a coaster club it's $47.99 for adults and $31.99 for jr/sr.

So if I bring a guest WITH a Platinum Pass but who is NOT registered here, do they have to pay $47.99, because that isn't cool!

Indeed they do, or they must have been registered here on or before February 1 according to my understanding...

I wounder how many people will be riding that neck breaker at 8 o'clock in the morning.

How is the Diamondback ERT from 10:30pm to 1:30pm?

It's not supposed to be 1:30 PM its supposed to be 1 AM.

At park today and spoke to Don. He said they will be sending out email confirmations this next week. He said there are lots of cool things planned.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't put my KIC username in that box. I wasn't sure what to put in that box so I just left it blank. I thought maybe they wanted my season pass number, but I haven't had it processed yet.

Definitely looking forward to this event. I'll be there all day on Saturday, as well as most of the day on Sunday. I won't be there for ERTs on Sunday due to church but will be staying for last rides on Diamondback

wish I could join in on this event but I didn't join KIC till this month.

I just registered! I may only go one of the days though.

I haven't purchased my platinum pass yet, hoping to soon. Can I register before buying it? There is a spot asking if you are a platinum pass member.

I registered this morning and booked my hotel. We will be staying at the Days Inn up the road from KI. If anyone is still looking to book a hotel I would look there we got a queen room for 47 dollars. I used Orbitz to book the hotel. Has anyone received their confirmation email yet?

I used Orbitz to book the hotel.

That's the ONLY place I use when I need to book a hotel room. They do flights and rental cars too. They are cheaper than Expedia and several other places I have researched that claim to give you the lowest price.

Yeah I was surprised at how cheap the room was. I was asking my g/f if she wanted the queen bed or the king bed and then I looked at the prices and they were the same. Of course we took the queen bed.

A King is bigger than a queen bed but you typically get 2 queen beds in a room as opposed to only 1 king.

In more pressing news: I note on the official event site that registration for the event closes on May 6, and there is no mention of on-site registration, so if you are interested in the event and meet the eligibiity requirements, I'd act sooner rather than later.

Ryan's post will clarify this.

I didn't like the registration page. It's a little confusing. There are a couple of design flaws that I noted. The biggest one was where it says "I am a Kings Island/Platinum Passholder" Now, I checked yes for that one, but I don't have a Platinum Pass. Why you ask? Well, the way it reads, it's not really asking you if you are a Platinum Passholder. It says "Kings Island/Platimum Passholder. The slash was the thing that got me. If it wanted to ask if you were a Platinum Passholder then why didn't it just say "I am a Platinum Passholder."? The Kings Island part is why I checked Yes because I hold a Gold Pass to Kings Island and as I understood it you needed a Gold or Platinum Pass to register and so I figured they were just checking to make sure you had one of the two. There has been no indication anywhere that Platinum Passholders are going to have a different experience at RWW. Anyways, whatever the intention was it was confusing.

Right after the offending question, it asks you for your member number. How many people do you think might put their season pass bar code number in there? That's not the intention, but the box to put that information comes right after the season pass question. It should have came after the group question.

One other little thing is that they should have had a drop-down menu to select which organization/group you are with.

It's these little design flaws that really irritate me. It's pretty much web page design 101. Oh well. I hope it doesn't cause any serious problems, which I actually, in spite of the things I mentioned, don't think it will.

The Kings Island part is why I checked Yes because I hold a Gold Pass to Kings Island and as I understood it you needed a Gold or Platinum Pass to register and so I figured they were just checking to make sure you had one of the two.

I did the same thing...the FIRST time I registered I unchecked the box because I was not a Platinum Card Holder...then after I registered I began to think...maybe they meant either a Kings Island Pass Holder or a Platinum Card Holder...so I re-registered a few minutes later and kept the box checked.

I don't feel quite as "stupid" now!

If I'm part of ACE, and I have both my girlfriend and I on our membership card does that get us in both for free as long as we have Platinum Passes?

It should, since you are both ACE members and have Platinum Passes. I'd register separately and show the card each time as I/we checked in.

From what I understand yes, but I would verify through your local chapter of ACE to make sure. Also that is If I am reading that both you and your girlfriend are members of ACE

I am interested in registering but I have a question. My mom is registered on the site (before Feb 1), but can't go. However, my father wants to go, but isn't registered on the site. Both of them (as well as I) have Platinum Passes, and since my father isn't registered, he would have to pay the $47.99 as a guest of myself. My question is whether or not my father can use my mom's username to sign up and avoid the charge?

Can't wait! Sounds awesome!

What happens if where still waiting for our card in the mail?

I had that happen with another ACE event as my card was penidng renewal. I don't know about now, but then you could email ACE and they would send a fax that vouched for your membership.

If you check out ACE's local website you can get contact information for Brian, the local ACE rep. He may have some answers for you.
