Oldschool75 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 They fixed my account. I now have a fundraising page and listed under team KIC. Does anybody know when we get the shirts? Are they mailed or do we get them the day of the event? http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/BrianLamm/KingsIsland2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie1980 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Last year we got the shirts the morning of the event when we signed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool75 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Ok. I guess I need to wear something underneth. I don't like wearing new shirts without being washed. Not good on the skin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsIsland1972 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I have a daughter graduating Sunday the 2nd and my resources have had her attention, If you know what I mean. I had planned to join today on payday but the site said it has reached it's limit. I want to do this as it will be my 2nd year and I'm really sad that I missed the cutoff. My daughters grad party is the Saturday the 8th as having KI only an hour away it would make since but Cedar Point still has openings. I have to be real with myself. I don't see myself at her party till Midnight and then driving all the way to CP to participate although I'm determined to make this happen. I guess what I'm getting at is....Is there a standby list in case somebody fails to show up or cancels their spot for KI Coasting for Kids? Because, I'll sign up for Cedar Point but if an opening came about, could I switch parks? It's just that it's my daughters graduation. I would have already signed up but I had to take care of her first. Is there anybody that can answer my question and help me out? Thank you. ~Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I received my "Congratulations and FINAL DETAILS" email from Give Kids the World last night. I assume the email Don is referring to above is the one from the park with further details like we got last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I got that one as well. I'm assuming Don is sending us one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 The email from Don has been sent out. Most important thing from the email: As tempting as it may be to stick them in the air, KEEP YOUR HANDS DOWN for the first 45 minutes on Diamondback and the first 30 minutes on The Racer. Otherwise you may be asked to sit out until those times are over. This is to allow for publicity photos/video. Got it? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Random-ish question....for those who have done this event before at KI, what do you bring with you?I'm trying to determine what is necessary to bring, although I've been to the park numerous times and have worked there, I don't know what to bring for the event. I can figure sunscreen, camera..but beyond that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to determine what is necessary to bring, although I've been to the park numerous times and have worked there, I don't know what to bring for the event. I can figure sunscreen, camera..but beyond tWhen When I did it last year, I had a little fanny pack and it was a life saver. I wish I had brought some kind of gum or mints for in between rides. I wouldn't suggest eating candy while the train is moving of course. You get a little dry but last year they provided bottled water. Also, I wished I had brought lip balm, aspirin and a better pair of sunglasses. I had a sun visor, but it was a challenge trying to keep it on at all times. But first and foremost...Bring Your Smiles and a bag full of Fun because it will be the best day of your life riding for a great cause as Kings Island does it BEST!!! p.s. Bring a phone charger to plug-in at lunch. You'll need it if you want to make it to the end of the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KingsIslandPR Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 A big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the event! The money raised for Give Kids the World at Kings Island and the other 10 Cedar Fair parks made this year's event a record year. I hope everyone had a fun and memorable day. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering why the entire train on The Racer had their hands on the bars, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Saw couple people there while in line for Racer like jcgoble3 and ohiocolts. Wish I could've been part of the event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I saw jcgoble but not ohiocolts. Were they on the same train? I didn't take part in the event but did see some people from here I knew when I was over at Blue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocolts Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I think I was on the same train as jcgoble3 for most of the event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yes, we were on the same train the whole time. I didn't see you, but I didn't look over at the blue side a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I had so much fun, but boy am I sore today, I have several bruises as well, but it was well worth it. Will def be doing it again next year! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I am so sore too. I wasn't this sore last year. But then again, last year I had 96 laps total on Racer, this year I had 99. But the biggest difference is last year I got off for a few laps, this year I didn't get off at all. 29 continuous laps on Racer before lunch, and 70 continuous laps after lunch. Sore, but it was worth it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhit2004 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I went home and puked. Sat on the couch --- took one bite of food --- ran to the bathroom. I think my brain/inner ear could not handle the lack of movement (I think dehydration and the sun did not help). My numbers were not quite as impressive. Diamondback - 12; The Racer - 63 ; Flight Deck - 1 = 76 circuits for the day (Was in the group that missed The Beast due to the sensor issue) The POWER HOUR on The Racer was fun. Although I chose poorly on my seat -- I jumped into a wheel seat not realizing Power Hour was starting. I can't wait for next year. I learned a lot this year and will be better prepared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhit2004 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 A couple videos I took at Coasting for Kids this year. They are from pretty late in the day (approx. 3:30 I think). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
