shark6495 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Ummm you should never meet people online alone. When going to KIC events that are open you should always inform a parent and if it's your first time bring a friend or parent ... We should all be on the up and up but never ever take that chance.... /rant Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I wouldn't let my kids go to an event without me or where I didn't know anyone personally either, your fathers a wise man, you'll understand one day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoe124 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Ok sorry about my last post... I was mad at my dad and probably shouldn't have been posting at that time lol I was just really aimlessly being angry, and I'm sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I don't know what the first post said, but any number of us would be okay meeting your dad if that is what is wrong. As a mom of a teen, I know I would not let her go to a meet up alone with people I do not know. It's not so much that I do not trust her, it's I don't trust a lot of other people. Jr said it, one day you will understand. Ps, we will even put on our best behavior. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APE Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 My parents were very relaxed with letting me do things growing up. As long as they knew where I was and when I'd be back they didn't care. They are fortunate I wasn't a trouble maker and I am fortunate that they were so relaxed. My leash was long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Plummer Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 I am a very charismatic person so I talk to everyone. My dad is too so I usually meet a lot of people at KI. I have yet to meet any other KIC members but I know I will sometime this season. But your parents are probably right about the whole candy and van thing. Unfortunately there are sickos like that and some may be users on here who don't post and just read. You do have to be careful about what you say online. But most of the people on this website are just normal coaster enthusiasts like you and me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterOhio Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Last time I went to Kings Island (Which was 2nd) I learned that you can see Kings Island from I-75. It's JUST barely visible, and you have to have a really trained eye on the Eiffel Tower, WindSeeker, Drop Tower, and Diamondback. It also has to be clear out, it's really hard to see it if there is a bit of fog. I had a hard time looking for it on Google maps.When you're driving southbound on Interstate 75, You want to look towards Trader World*, and at Mile Marker 30/0 You should be able to briefly see Kings Island. It's so tiny from I-75 it's almost like a Tic-TakIt is VERY hard to see, but the Eiffel Tower of Kings Island is seen in it, WAY in the distance. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Plummer Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 I usually wait until we drive up to the housing place with all the flags and then I see it and start spazzing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondyRidesOn Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 The park can be seen from the regional highway, at the merge of the Butler County Veterans Highway and I-75. Looking out in the distance, the Eiffel Tower, Drop Zone, WindSeeker, and a little bit of Diamondback's lift hill can be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoeter Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 You can get a good glimpse of the park off of State Route 741 south of the intersection with State Route 63. It's a good 7-10 miles away so you can make out the Eiffel Tower more than anything. Best on a clear day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 The farthest I've been able to see Kings Island is I-75 at Mile Marker 30/0 (like shown above) haven't been able to see farther, but there probably is farther somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Plummer Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 idk the name but I went to see my Grandma Betty's grave and it's on a huge hill and in the distance I could see the famous KI skyline about 9-10 miles away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastien6221 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well whoever goes to the park the 23rd, I am going that day. I will have 9 family members plus my 19 month nephew. So if you see me don't even come to say hi. I know a lot of you know what I look like from my trip reports thread. So if you will please not come say hi or anything if you see me at the park. I will post some pics from our trip. Thanks. Isnt this the 2nd time this has been posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastien6221 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I was talking about the whole "don't say hi to me" spiel. Not meaning to sound crappy cause that isnt my goal at all, but.......does it matter who all is going if you don't want them to say hi to you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSalsa Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I am also excited for a Kings Island trip, as I am heading up to the park tomorrow- hoping for light crowds, which should be the case based on what I saw on the webcam today and the fact there is a chance for a storm later in the day. As for the 23rd...my sister may be there that day as well, but not me. It's time to face Banshee again. And The Beast. And all the big rides I didn't get in on opening day, save perhaps Drop Tower (assuming it's still broken) and WindSeeker (with storms in the forecast I forsee wind and...well...you know how this ride is when it's windy). And probably a lot of the smaller rides too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
