IBEW_Sparky Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 There is always a fee for the events, which varies as to whether or not you have a season pass to said park/park chain. The fee covers the cost of meals, the tours, the extra labor fees to keep ride ops and management on site during ERT, and so on. 3
CoasterMyths79 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I'm hoping to have a tour of Banshee or The Beast. Maybe FoF! 1
Gabe Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 The best tour ever I've had at KI was of the sign shop on one of the orig KIC days--very cool how they create everything for the park. The place is also a museum of former attraction signs which line the walls. If it's ever offered, I'd highly recommend it! 6
Oldiesmann Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 A sign shop tour would be great. I've heard great things about that. 3
TheBEASTunchained Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 I can't remember which year it was, but I missed the last sign shop tour and would Love for the park to take the group on a tour of that! It's somewhere at the park that I haven't been and would love to go see. 2
Hoeter Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 I believe 2009 was the last sign shop tour offered for KIC for which I was a part of. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Definitely a great experience if you ever have the opportunity to check it out. 2

BB1 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 What time(s) will the Banshee Tour/Beast Tour be? (Very important in regards to scheduling)
thedevariouseffect Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I'll be there, payday is this week I'll be registering..Not sure if I'll tag along with all the events that morning as I may have to start up clinic before heading down to KI, but we shall see
jcgoble3 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 ^^ I'm guessing that has yet to be determined and will be announced later.
Gabe Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I got an email last night with the list of times for the events. As I recall, Banshee ERT was 9 AM followed by a Banshee behind the esnces tour, Carosuel/Scrambler ERT at 9:30, lunch at 2:45, VIP seating to a TBD show (prob Cirque) and an afternoon Beast tour. Then final rides of the night on Banshee. Looks like a great event!
jcgoble3 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 ^ It won't be Cirque Imagine unless KI alters the show schedule. Cirque is off on Mondays and the event is on a Monday.
Magenta Lizard Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Yeah, I was strongly considering this event as an early birthday gift to myself (my birthday is the next week), thinking "maybe the show will be Cirque Imagine, that'd be excellent!" Then I finally put two and two together and realized the event is a Monday and that seems to be Cirque's day off :/ I'm still considering it, but if the show was Cirque Imagine, shut up and take my money! It would be my first-ever theme park "event" and I'd be going alone, so I'm still trying to decide if it is something I'd enjoy or not. Behind the scenes of Beast, and the description of that meal are awfully tempting... I need to make up my mind soon! 2
malem Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 It would be my first-ever theme park "event" and I'd be going alone, so I'm still trying to decide if it is something I'd enjoy or not. Everyone has a lanyard, so it's easy to get together with other attendees if you want to. There should be a number of frequent KIC posters in attendance. 6
DonHelbig Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 You will need to be a card-carrying member of Coaster Crew to participate in this event. 8
APE Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Hopefully those that registered that are not a part of Coaster Crew will get their money back.
SpongeBob Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I would love to go to this, but it's on a Monday and I'm working.
Hoeter Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I already paid for this several days back before this was brought to my attention. Glad I'm finding out now and not when I get out there for the event. I'm signed up for the GOCC event that same week, of which I'm a card carrying member.

thedevariouseffect Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 One can assume why details were deleted I honestly believe it to be in relation to an incident at CFK. If not I'm honestly surprised Also I can understand second post being deleted (even though it was pretty good haha) but first one? Nothing wrong with that one
Creed Bratton Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Nothing to do with CFK. Coaster Crew was not involved in an "alleged" incident with Coasting For Kids.
thedevariouseffect Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 KIC was..and we're the ones dropped. CC didn't do anything nor was I stating they were
Creed Bratton Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 As a member of both and at the event, I'm not sure what you're referring to then. I spent 95% of my time with the event (20 minutes or so at Hanks for dinner) and nothing that I'm aware of happened.
Magenta Lizard Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 More correctly, a /member/ of KIC was, it was hardly a KIC sanctioned thing, there wasn't exactly a thread on "how to cheat the charity." Thanks for being informative, as always, DonKIPR. Guess it makes up my mind on whether to go to this, or probably any other behind the scenes event. I was looking at it as a possible stepping stone to joining some sort of coaster club if I liked it, but for now I'll just keep my money.
thedevariouseffect Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Agreed..sorry I didn't word that better and I apologize
thedevariouseffect Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Not for here right now..I think you have me added on Facebook..if not PM me
BoddaH1994 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 What exactly happened at CFK?See the last page of the CFK thread.
APE Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Got it. It's no good someone would do that. Back on topic. If they weren't going to allow forum members the park should have made that a rule from the beginning it sucks for the people that planned and now won't be able to join. I would have gone had that not been the first day back from vacation. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
