Michigander19 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I would try to get my dad to make the trip but that's the day before the first day of school for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriewench Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Have fun to everyone who goes. I'll be there in spirit. My physical being will more than likely be poolside with a dolphin named Lightning (or maybe riding Canyon Blaster...). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Why don't we have a contest for ERT. Everyone rides Invertigo over and over till there is one person left standing? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 That shouldn't be too hard considering Invertigo isn't an ERT ride this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCrypt Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I like the idea of having ERT for the event but why waste it on Invertigo? Go for the bigger rides like Drop Tower, Delirium, or Flight of Fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I like the idea of having ERT for the event but why waste it on Invertigo? Go for the bigger rides like Drop Tower, Delirium, or Flight of Fear. I liked having the ERT on Dodgem, Scrambler, and Monster the last time. We had an awesome time during the last event. It would not hurt my feelings if we had ERT on a coaster, I personally think I would like to have ERT on Flight Deck. That would be a fun KIC ERT event coaster! Going to back to what you posted Crypt, DT and Delirium would be fun too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 ERT is nice and all, but I want other things for the events that make it "special." I can ride the rides anyday and marathon them on some days, some I cannot, but getting tours, behind the scenes, interviews, ect. that's what makes the events special for me. When I get to have a Q&A with a great entertainer like Ed Alonzo, or get to see behind the scenes maintance stuff and interview one like the last KIC event, that was great. Going in and getting shots of rides or going places never/not normally seen, that's awesome. My favorite event was pointbuzz's first CP off season event. We got a tour of WindSeeker, the front half of the park, dragster station sans trains and covered in snow, all the way under the top hat, and back down through PWX and the jungle under iron dragon. Following this we had a beautiful Q&A with Bryan, Becca (she actually started off pretty good haha, then dropped), PB founders, and then eachother, with a bit of slides/ect. We can ride these rides until we can't anymore everyday out of the season, but show us the stuff we can't see that make it different than every other event. Show us the maint. buildings, or get to talk to them, let us go under flight deck (great photo op wouldn't you think), show us inside backlot (it's not a popular ride but how cool would it be to walk in the building of the final run), ect..As enthusiasts we see, know, and ride rides all the time. Give us the cool stuff to make it worthwhile. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I would like to see inside of FOF's building. The chances of me going are decently high considering I'll have my license in 2 weeks!

If any of you have been to a KIC event before you already know that we like to make it special in other ways... As the devariouseffect said, you can ride any time... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I agree that the special things like behind-the-scenes tours are much more enjoyable than specialty ERT. Earlier this month, I went to the event hosted by CoasterCrew, and the best part of it for me was getting an extensive behind-the-scenes tour of Beast (we walked back to the 2nd lift hill, got to see the motor shed for that hill and chatted with a maintenance guy [the same one that you chatted with during the KIC event]) and getting to see the international restaurant, still sporting 1970s-style furniture. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwizard13 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I would like to come to my first KIC event, but as of now I don't know. I'll have to wait for it get closer. I do have one question that I would really like an answer to. Am I allowed to bring a friend/ family member with me? Or do you have to be a member to attend?

exscream team Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Ya ERts are great but i would much rather go places I can't normally go and talk with people I can't normally talk to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 It has always amazed me. I was at the announcement for Son of Beast. (No, I'm not Montel Williams! ) ERT on Beast followed. ACErs were there, as were the media and friends of the park. And Werner Stengel. After the announcement, the media followed the park people, interviewed the ACErs, or left quickly and quietly. The ACErs gave interviews and\or high tailed it to Beast. One person hung behind and had a very nice conversation with Werner Stengel. That person waited til later that evening to ride Beast. It was better at night, anyway! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 What was it like to have that ride revealed like that? Was it a complete surprise? Did it seem crazy? I never got a chance to be surprised by SOB as I Grew up from 5 till 8 sorta learning what the ride did.. and even then, not understanding how unique it actually was.

The Interpreter Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I would think it was an incredible surprise to most of the participants. There had been looping wooden coasters decades before, but I doubt anyone in attendance had ever ridden one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invertedgirl Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I really want to go (I didn't join just because of this event, it wasn't even announced when I joined, i joined because I wanted to also talk about the park and the rides and the construction) and I can't drive and my mom would have to bring me. She's not a kic member though, would she still be able to go with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride On_17 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 My favorite event was pointbuzz's first CP off season event.

Following this we had a beautiful Q&A with Bryan, Becca (she actually started off pretty good haha, then dropped), PB founders, and then eachother, with a bit of slides/ect. That sounds fun. Last year's PB offseason tour was my 1st. I'm sure you heard about it (maybe you went) but we got to see the construction of Gatekeeper. I wonder what this year's will be. I love stuff like this.

XGatorHead 8904 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Bummer! Opening Sunday for the NFL! Oh well. Have fun all! Take lots of pics! Don't worry, you'll have plenty of other opportunities to watch the Browns lose. Hopefully I can be there. That's my grandmother's 89th birthday so that has priority, but depending on times for everything I may be able to make it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
