xXDrummerKiDXx Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Well I was suppose to go to KI today as soon as it opened but work got in the way. So I don't get to go till two o'clock. So My question is: What has stopped you from going to KI, and don't say "NOTHING WILL EVER STOP ME!" There is something that has stopped you/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The 80-some miles in between where I live and the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 That sucks, 80 miles from one of the greatest amusement parks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The fact I have other park passes in my pocket, which have gotten a great deal of use. Refusing to renew a KD Platinum Pass except in person at the park is a policy that has cost Cedar Fair quite a but of revenue this year. Preposterous.

Browntggrr Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 That sucks, 80 miles from one of the greatest amusement parks 300+ miles for me, but I don't complain. Traveling long distances to numerous parks has opened my eyes to various things many do not know about. It also lets me relive one of my favorite movies, everytime: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXDrummerKiDXx Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Im guessing your like 14 Jdawg lol. Im 15 and i go all the time (when im not working) The beautiful thing is that When I get off of work at 2:00PM , my uncle goes to work at 2:30 (has to be there by 3:30) and he works at the prison right by KI (Like 5 mins away) so he drops me and friends off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Browntggr, I love Vacation, too. It's maybe the only movie that I could watch over and over again (even more than I already have!). I love the opening that you posted, too…I don't think there's been a trip that i've been on since that movie came out where some lines from it haven't been quoted…lol "Mr. Griswold ordered a blue sports wagon, where is it?" "I don't know sir." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Lack of money. Last year I had a small emergency that cost me my vacation dough. I used whatever oppurtunity I could to get to Ki. This year, a client gifted me two passes, and barring another money drain, I'm going to use them enough to make up for last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Not having someone to go along with me has stopped me on some occasions (wife working, friends unable to go, etc.) It's boring (and a bit creepy) going to the park without family or friends to make fun of as they react to the rides.
