Stuck at Work

[xXDrummerKiDXx]

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/

[KIfan73]

The 80-some miles in between where I live and the park.

[xXDrummerKiDXx]

That sucks, 80 miles from one of the greatest amusement parks

[The Interpreter]

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.

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:

[Jr for Birdy]

Gas prices keep me from going more than i already do.

[jdawg1998]

My parents.

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

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."

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.

Chuck Norris stopped me once.

[xXDrummerKiDXx]

Believable^^

[Browntggrr]

Chuck Norris stopped me once.

I hate it when he does this on 71......

[BB1]

Basically work

[CoasterGeek101]

I live 30 minutes from the park so that doesn't stop me......my parents get sick of Kings Island after the first few trips of the year

[ohiocolts]

Same as jdawg.

[Thrill_Biscuit]

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.

Life..

[jcgoble3]

My budget. I'm always penny-pinching for some reason or other. Right now it's for my big Florida trip coming up in about two months.

All these Vacation references make me wanna take this big girl to KI one of these days

For me it's either not having someone to go with or bad weather.

[slitthythroat]

The 3 hour drive & no one to always go with.

[TTD-120-420]

Being two hours away and not having anyone to go with. Also choosing other parks.

[Sonofbeast2.0]

Parents and park not being open at 2am .
