coasterboysfne Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I am very excited that the parks in Ohio have decided to include us in these days. It makes sense since we have the most compassion and love these airtime machines! When the media is filming us it shows how good the ride is as opposed to GP that might have mixed feelings or get sick easily. I am ready for April!!!! So.... Who is going?!?! 12
Oldschool75 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Where do we RSVP for media day? I am already a member of Coaster Crew but have not seen anything. 2

Oldschool75 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks guys, sorry . Crazy times and I am off my ADHD meds right now. 2
Creed Bratton Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 This is awesome! Looking forward to 2014! 1
VortexBFForever Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 There is actually a chance my mom and I could go to the Media Day! We just have to become Coaster Crew members first... 5
Ride On_17 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 If I can convince my parents to let me skip school...Which means that we'd also probably get to go for opening day...But then I'd also have to convince them that we'd still be able to set up and get things ready for Easter dinner at our house in time for Sunday... It would all be worth it. I hope I can go! 9
LoraX Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Help clean earlier in the week. I have friends that host a large dinner at Thanksgiving. We clean and set up stuff the weekend before. Of course that does not help with shopping and cooking (some of which can be done early as well). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4
Ride On_17 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 "Pwetty Pwease, mommy!" Haha I'll try my best. Believe me, my mom would love to go too. I'm just not sure if we'll be able to. 7
LoraX Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 "Pwetty Pwease, mommy!" . This works for me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3
Ride On_17 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Maybe I should get her to make a KIC account, have her read this thread, and have her feel sorry for me. 6
The Interpreter Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Well, it is important that each person attending as a coaster club member must have his or her own membership card and have RSVP'd, without exception. 5
Ride On_17 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Yes, definitely. We'll have to make a decision soon. I just hope it's a good one. 5
TTD-120-420 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 "Mom, I'm growing up really fast, and soon I will be going off to college. We won't be able to spend a lot of time together like we do now. We need to do this while we still have the chance to do it." Worked like a charm for me back then. You should try it. 9
thedevariouseffect Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I just kinda said the one time I wanted to skip "One day out of a whole school year isn't going to kill me, if that were the case we'd all be angry with snow days, besides this is senior year" I won, logic works
The Interpreter Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 In 19 years of formal education, I never missed a day. In retrospect, that may have been foolish. To me, the test is, ten years from now, which will have contributed to my life and even my education more? Given what you say you want to do, IF you are serious, that, to me, is an easy answer. Media Days are about far, far more than riding coasters. At least they can be, if you let them be and want them to be. Oh, the people I have met, the things I have learned, the experiences I have had. Or a day in school? Were I your Dad or Mom, I'd know you, your capabilities, your seriousness--or lack thereof. Just by reading your posts here, I know a lot. Only you and your parents can decide what's best for you. And that's as it should be. 9
thedevariouseffect Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Ironically the day I missed ended up being a video day before spring break, so I didn't miss a thing However I did enjoy a getting to our cabin a few hours early.. We drank Monsters and Mountain Dew, went hiking, and then played on the PS3 for HOURS. It was an all nighter Man I knew how to party back then 1
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 The only thing keeping me from being all in is that I'm in a Spring Sport. But it looks like now that It's over at 2 I can make it back in time to make the match.
Voicetek Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I've never attended a media day before and I'm really considering going to this one. Just a question though. I noticed that it starts at 5:30 am or something like that, is it required that you arrive at that time or can you come later in the morning? I work that day, but might be able to get a half day or something. Any info would be much appreciated! 2
The Interpreter Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I would suspect the park will send out clear guidelines, instructions, etc., by late March. 1
MatterEaterLad Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I'm a senior in high school and Media Day I think is reason enough for my senior skip day. I just have to be careful, I can lose college credit for my classes if I miss 3 days total
Guest KingsIslandPR Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Hopefully we're not getting into a situation where people are registering for a user name on KIC and then joining Coaster Crew for the sole purpose of attending Media Day. Respect the opportunity rather than take advantage of it. 27
born_to_ride_1993 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Those Don are very powerful yet true words. I would hope that the enthusiast community would have more respect than that, and that outsiders would not hear about the opportunity and just abuse it and ruin future media days for all of us. I know some will see this is my first post here and think that I am one of those, but I am not. I have been a member of KIC for awhile now but have been a member of GOCC and ACE for years. So I am not someone who just registered for Media Day. 7
TheBEASTunchained Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Hopefully we're not getting into a situation where people are registering for a user name on KIC and then joining Coaster Crew for the sole purpose of attending Media Day. Respect the opportunity rather than take advantage of it. I'm glad you addressed that, because that is the very situation I was worried about. I'd like to think that people wouldn't do that but unfortunately they probably will. Is there going to be a cut off for any of this or a way to keep this type of situation from happening?
Diamondback FOF Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 The only thing keeping me from being all in is that I'm in a Spring Sport. But it looks like now that It's over at 2 I can make it back in time to make the match. Usually there are guidelines to be eligible for an athletic competition...I'm not sure if it's set by the state or by each school though. I personally had to be in school for four of my seven classes in order to be eligible to compete 2
CP&LERR Fan Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 So let me get this straight, I haven't been on lately and just noticed the Coaster Crew section. So KIC partnered With Coaster Crew, I read on the main page of KIC all members on KIC get a discounted membership with coaster crew. So does that mean I would get a discounted membership with coaster crew? If so how much would it be? -Conductor
MantisMan Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 ^ The answer to your question lies within your post. Membership cost and other info is located in this thread.......... http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/28839-KICentral-and-coaster-crew-to-partner-in-2014/ 3
