Looks like we have a troll on the first ride auction site. Pretty bad I had to email Holiday World and ask them to verify the user bids. Waiting to hear back.

That's sad.

I guess someone is bidding that doesn't plan to pay?

Well Paula said everything looked ok on the backend. So I will just wait until the very end to get a bid in.

Just put my final bid in. If I get outbid, I guess it wasn't meant to be.

I'm still in it right now. I'm staying on it until bidding time is over.

What seat are you bidding on?

**Edit**

I won my seats Train 1 Row 3 Left side. Woohoo! lol So who will all be there?

I won my seats! Train 1 Row 4 right side!

See ya there!

Congratulations! Enjoy the day!

Thunderbird Ice Cream, possibly coming to a grocery store near you:

I highly doubt it is coming to a grocery store near me!

$50 donation to Give Kids the World = access to Media Day on April 23. Only 100 tickets available, and only through through 11:59 PM CDT on Sunday.

If there was a way I could have thursday off I would be happy to take them up on that

That is so beyond tempting it's ridiculous.. Alas, I really should not if I do not have a job before then, even if it's for a good cause. So cool of them to do that, too!

Edit: tough cause? No, bad brain. I was thinking that it was a tough decision and that came out instead.

Wow.....THIS is pretty awesome.

I may very well attend Media Day now......

And pretty cool that this is also for the benefit of GKTW !

Terp, when the career-o-matic stops spinning, perhaps you'll be coming near a grocery store that sells that ice cream

Good marketing effort.

Or at least a grocery store that sells Thunderbird.

I highly doubt it is coming to a grocery store near me!

I mean, it's supposedly coming to 27 states, and while you do not live in any United State, you do live NEAR two of them, so maybe...

They are hitting the advertisments hard as usual. I remember when Mammoth was built there were two billboards within 3 miles of each other on the major road by my house. There were 4 billboards total along my 29 mile journey to work through Indy. I've heard multiple radio commercials already for Thunderbird and expect many more radio, billboard, and TV spots coming soon. They hammer the advertisment and that is why the small park in Santa Claus, IN draws over a million guests a year. Too bad we can't say the same about a closer park that was associated with a certain number of flags. I haven't heard a peep on the radio, TV, or seen a billboard for Lightning Run last year or T3 this year.

In Bowling Green in the attraction brochures rack:

Kings Island

Holiday World

Beech Bend

Corvette Museum

Grand Ole Opry

Lost Caverns

Mammoth Cave

Kentucky Derby Festival

Huntington, WV f. Camden Park

An amusement park in Louisville? Nope.

So who all will be attending opening day at the park?

I will be there!

Part of me is saying go saturday but the other part is saying wait until the waterpark opens

All of me is saying, "Get yourself on some good ol' (or not so ol') B&M steel!"

Sadly, that doesn't seem to be in the cards anytime soon.

I'm leaving in 3 hours to head over to Santa Claus! I have a 2 hour drive to the Cinci area where I'll meet up with Gator, get my Cedar Fair Platinum Pass processed at Kings Island, then will raise some Cane for dinner in Louisville, to complete the day by sleeping at Santa's Lodge!

Stoked to ride Thunderbird tomorrow!

Have a good time Chris and Gator!

Thanks Brad, and thank you chugh43 for inviting me to tag along! I'm excited for this. I didn't get to go to HW last year; it was the first year I missed since about 2009. I won a pair of HW tickets at the GOCC Holiday Party in December, so we're planning to go again in June on the way to my family reunion in IL (Mrs. Gator & GatorGirl couldn't make the reunion last year, so that's why our annual HW visit didn't occur). Thunderbird looks like a good addition for the park... hopefully they have big boy seats, or at least a seat I can squeeze into currently! We'll find out in less than 24 hours! If not, at least they'll have a few other rides open for us, and I'll get to spend time with some great friends.

Just popping in. Still looking for interviews for anyone who will be at the event tomorrow!
