KICentral "Signals"

[fanofFirehawk]

So when roaming the park not on a KIC meet up day, what are some little things that we can do/look for when in the park to tip off other KIC members that you're KIC member.

So obviously wearing a KIC shirt, but what else could we do?

Is this a stupid thread?

[milesharrison]

I was actually wondering the exact same thing today.

Glad you asked!

Not a stupid thread.

Some random person in line spouting off stats of the ride with or without people listening.

[fanofFirehawk]

^Like the ride ops?

It could be a subtle thing like as you get off a ride….

Or something odd like a sharpie mark on your ear...

Just thinking outside the box.

Met a very nice man in line for DB ERT and we were talking about all sorts of coaster stuff. Thought it might be someone from here, but I didn't have the guts to ask about KIC in person, unfortunately. Lol

But seriously, when I worked at The Racer most people filled into the front of the station so if someone went into 5-2 I knew they know their stuff and a coaster shirt would be a good indicator too. I often would ask if they are enthusiasts and then what club or site they belonged to. I met oldiesman, Beastie1980, ohiocolts, and stashua123 this way just from operating dual at the back of The Racer station.

[fanofFirehawk]

It is hard approaching someone, it would be nice to have a stronger indicator.

[YoungStud]

Does 5-2 have strong airtime?

[The Interpreter]

Not like 1-3 aka "the magic seat."

With that air comes turbulence.

[Fire-Beast-OF FEAR]

Best seat on any coaster i've ever ridden. So much airtime and glass smooth compared to the seat directly behind it.

[The Interpreter]

See? Center seats are smooth...

[fanofFirehawk]

5-2 or 1-3?

[YoungStud]

I like 1-3 on magnum.

[The Interpreter]

I like 1-3 on magnum.

Then try 1-3 on Racer. And the very back.

I read this as KICentral Singles, and thought someone made a dating topic. Glad it is not that.

I'm usually wearing a University of Texas shirt. I'm also 6 foot 3 and have spiked up ginger hair. Hard to miss.

Never knew I met you.

They wouldn't let me print Fire-Beast-OF FEAR on my name tag. I tried, but did not succeed. So that might be the reason I appeared as my disguise known as Duncan.

[BeastForever]

I'm usually wearing my brown Voyage shirt or my awesome Maverick shirt when I'm at Kings Island.

[milesharrison]

As awesome as it'd be to go to the park to meet up with one person specifically (based on shirts, etc), is there anything that can be done/used universally for everyone across the site?

Wear shirts that say "Will the real Terpy please stand up?"

[The Interpreter]

The real Terpy will be in NJ next weekend.

I read this as KICentral Singles, and thought someone made a dating topic. Glad it is not

Wouldn't that topic be called "KICentral Single Riders Line"?

When did I meet you. Sorry can't remember.

I enjoy long walks on the beach, riding roller coasters, and--oh darn, I meant to post this on Match.com. Wrong tab.

[BeastForever]

Ride El Toro in seat 6-2 for me.

Please.

It would mean a lot...

Knowing what other members look like helps a lot. (Study those group photos! )

Other than that, pay attention to meet-up threads. Perhaps propose a time and location to meet, to increase the odds of finding each other.

So obviously wearing a KIC shirt, but what else could we do?

I wore one around the park all day today, but only thedevariouseffect and an inactive member who didn't tell me his username found me. Thedevariouseffect and I also met up with Ryan and Dane, but we spotted them.

I was at the park today and looked for anyone in a KIC shirt. didn't see you. :/

[James78]

I'm always wearing my Pittsburgh Penguins hat.

[DJSkyFoxx]

Well I am probably one of the few females out there wearing cargo shorts...I find them useful for carrying everything without having anything in my way or having to go put anything in a bin...

I also sometimes I wear a hat or have my hair down and wavy...always have black hair...and I am short! And like most of you, I enjoy spewing coaster facts in line to anyone who strikes up a conversation in line lol

I would love to meet some of you in person...seriously...it gets rather lonely not having too many enthusiast friends who share the same love of parks and coaster lore as I do

[Thrill_Biscuit]

Does anyone else get a funny double-take from other KICers when you reveal who you are to them?
