BoddaH1994 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hold down the link and click on "open in a new tab." It seems to bypass that stupid Accesso page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Darn Senior Project! Maybe I'll be able to go to this since I'm not entirely sure of my availbility that month, but I sure hope I can! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesharrison Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 What's the significance of "stock" other than Woodstock? Or is that the significance? Looks like a great event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I was able to get to it by clicking "full site" then searching for Coasterstock in the search bar. Here's the info for anyone else on mobile: "COASTERSTOCK AT Kings Island If you only do one roller coaster event in 2015, this is the one you want to do! Attention roller coaster enthusiasts! It's coming in the spring of 2015: Coasterstock at Kings Island. This awesome two-day event will feature hours of exclusive ride time before and after the park is open to the public, behind the scenes tours, guest speakers and more! More details to come including pricing information and the list of approved roller coaster clubs and organizations. " Can't wait! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APE Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I always hit full site. Let it open, then close the page. Click the link again and it will open on the full site. Anyway this won't be the only thing they add for next year. at least that's the vibe I got after a certain question I asked the other day. It came off to me as we may see some events that were successful other places happen at Kings Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 And what other events may those be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hopefully none that will cause long term fans to exert fireworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 What's the significance of "stock" other than Woodstock? Or is that the significance? Looks like a great event! It's a play on WoodStock. You're 100% correct. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XjoshhyX Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Very cool! I've been hoping for an event like this to come down our way at some point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 This is great news! Hopefully Woodstock Express will be included in the event in some manner........For more reasons than just the name. In my honest opinion, Woodstock Express doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves and is very underrated. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Sounds promising! Hope I won't be working any of these two days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 This is great news! Hopefully Woodstock Express will be included in the event in some manner........For more reasons than just the name. In my honest opinion, Woodstock Express doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves and is very underrated. So, should we just marathon Woodstock Express for an hour to give it the attention it deserves?I'm excited, also glad for KI to finally get a coaster event unilaterally rather than meet ups and MDs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gad198 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 The Ride Warriors weekend a few years ago was a really good time, so it's nice that they're doing a similar event again! If they're publicizing this event so far in advance it sounds like they're trying to make this a "larger" event than the one several years ago. If that's the case, I really hope that they open up more rides during the ERT sessions to help disperse the crowds. It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron88stang Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 cool. I hope to be there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APE Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 So if this is two days and if we are relating it to Woodstock based on the name given maybe there will be camping offered? Maybe inside the park for some? Hmm.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm so happy to hear this. Ride Warriors was one of my favorite park trips ever and I can't wait to see the details for Coasterstock. Thank you KI! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I posted a pic on my Facebook page of all of us at RWCW during The Beast walkback... those were good times. Things have just "changed" after about 2010, which I know is inevitable but, remember how much fun we all had together at HWN 2010? I miss those days, of when I first came to know of this site back in December of 08, all the way up until those days (after the 2010 season in my opinion) when the Community I knew and really Loved took a turn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APE Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Was it the people who joined after that time or the site itself changing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Let me play PC/Diplomat and say that, age, vision, and a different Life direction have all made me look at the people and the hobby differently.

stashua123 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Cool! I might want to go to this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Groov-y dudes. Will Kings Island provide the party supplies? Or do we...have to bring our own? What side of the lot will be Shakedown? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool75 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Yeah, I'm still debating what I'm going to do. Wanted to do Coastermainia next year, then come back for Coasting for Kids 2015. So a very busy weekend. My budget is only going to allow 1 event, and since I have never been to CP; I was wanting to do Coastermania.

bkroz Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 ^ Why do they schedule so many things in such proximity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 My thoughts? Park is not as busy, thus making the enthusiast events less of a strain on operations. I feel that is the reason that CoasterMania was reduced from a 2 day event to a 1 day event after 2011. Also, with the time of year that the events are scheduled, its not "peak season", and in CMs case, its a Friday where many of the youngins are still in school ( ). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
