Okay, now that we're bummed out...

I think you meant 13,330 in your post. :)

I was surprised how little I walk on my visits. I typically show up between 4-5p. It usually takes until 9:00 or so to do 10,000 steps in-park. Just think: all the time you spend eating, drinking, watching shows, and standing in line do NOT add to steps. The two times that I see a substantial jump are walking to and from the car and to or from Soak City.

Epistaxis isn't serious, don't be bummed, just can be easy or actually hard to resolve

I've been to Tattoo/Freedom's Call before! But I haven't gone for a long time. I found out this year's Freedom Call is tonight; hope I can go!

As for the pedometer topic, I'm planning to buy one soon just so I can measure how many steps I take during a Kings Island visit. :)

I'm aware of what Freedom's Call Celebration (formerly Freedom's Call Tattoo) is about. The radio station I listen to in the car (K99.1FM) is heavily involved with it, so they only advertise it umpteen times a day. :P

I'm also aware of what epistaxis is. It's not fun. (For those that are wondering, it's medical lingo for a nosebleed.)

I've actually never been to Freedom's Call, and this year won't become the first time for me as my car is low on gas and I can't afford to fill up until next Thursday. (Which, incidentally, rules out any trips to KI over the next week.)
