IndyGuy4KI Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 electricsun and I just signed up. This will be our first time to Coney. Thanks for letting us know about this @CoastersRZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'm very interested in this! I've actually never been to Coney Island before. Is there a deadline to purchase tickets, or can I wait and make a last-minute decision? I'd like to know how much time I have to make a decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannersdaddy Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 @CoastersRZ Looks interesting. Does everyone in my family need to be on KIC? My wife and son are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 This is very tempting. I have only been to Coney for the International fireworks competition several years ago and things were so packed with people I didn't even really see they /had/ any rides. And it's the day after my birthday, so 'treat myself' right? I'd also like to know what the deadline is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 I will likely be working part of the day. But I will definitely be there for the ERT, likely running one of the rides... The sooner you can buy the tickets the better. I am not sure what the deadline is for purchasing tickets. Looking into it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Per a recent post on the Facebook event, the deadline is July 8, which is this Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we only going to be able to ride the ones on ERT during the ERT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 My ticket has been purchased, thanks to a bunch of Pokémon cards that I sold last night. Hopefully next week will fly by! (yeah, right... ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Classic rides includes all the rides, with the exception of Eurobungy. Your group wristband for the event will also include free rounds of mini golf at Famours Fairways. The only rides that will be available at ERT are Python, Rock O Planes, and TopSpin. The admission price does not include admission into Sunlite Adventure, although that can be purchased as an add on the day of at the ticket booth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Me and the No Chickenses got our tickets. Looking forward to it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Don`t forget to register for this event. The deadline to register is midnight tonight! It will be a fun event! I will be working early shift, and be back for the ERT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dare-to-fly Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 As final preparations for the event are being made, I can tell you that this will be a ton of fun! There are a couple of surprises that I was allowed to borrow to show everyone as a part of the historical tour that I think you will greatly enjoy seeing! All registered attendees will receive an e-mail from me later this week with everything that you need to know upon arrival. (Basically you can't go wrong as long as you come in through gate 1!) On a more personal note, I would like to sincerely thank all registered attendees from KIC for helping us get enough numbers to run the event. I have been planning it for quite a while, and it has been my big project since becoming a rep for this region. Can't wait to see you on Saturday for Classic Fun in the Sun 2017!

Magenta Lizard Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Punctuation is key. I believe it meant: "How was the event? I thought Coney would announce a new coaster (at the event), but that was wishful thinking." In answer, I know some attendees suggested it! But no new coaster is currently planned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I thought the event was well organized. They understood the fact that you can ride just about everything in an hour or two and filled the schedule with a tour, games, etc. The park has a decent collection of flat rides and short lines. The ERT was interesting because they had a couple of employees who are trained to run everything in the park. So while ERT was listed as being three rides you really could have ridden almost anything. I really want the park to get another coaster. I think it would help bring new customers and increase overall attendance. I think it is the prefect park for a Raptor coaster from RMC. But a gravity group coaster feels more likely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I did not take a lot of pics, but here are a few I had taken. Python is an interesting Coaster. It rides a lot like a Galaxi coaster if you have ever been on one of those. Goble was not cooperating with pictures! Lunch was really good. The slide took a rip out of my pants.. You can drive these bumper cars backwards if you want. I know there are some pics of me doing so. A lot of fun! Robbie (CoastersRZ) finally off work at Coney and able to join the fun. electricsun and and I on our first every visit to Coney. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
