DonHelbig Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 On May 22, Kings Island will have a photo shoot at the park, and there is a need for riders from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Diamondback, The Beast and Racer. Here are some of the rules: - All riders must meet the height requirements. - Riders must wear plan clothing (no logos or patterns -- must be bright and shiny). - This is not exclusive ride time. The number of rides on each attraction will depend on the shots the photo crew needs to capture. - You might sit and wait. And wait some more. - You will be assigned your seat by the production crew. - Hands must be kept down and inside the cars at all times. - Photos, video and social media sharing is not permitted during your time with us during the shoot. Interested? Please email your first and last name, age, city, state and KIC user name to socialmedia@visitkingsisland.com. Due to high demand, you will ONLY be contacted if you are chosen to participate. You must respond no later than Thursday, May 17 by 6:00 p.m. Please use Extras for KI Photo Shoot in the email subject line. Thank you!

CoastersRZ Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I did this once many moons ago. It is a fun experience, but as Don stated do not expect it to be ERT. I think when I did it for Vortex (I got maybe three or four rides in during the two hours I was there). But this was mid-early 2000s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'd love to do this, but unfortunately I'm already committed to a Newport Aquarium trip that day with a group from my college. For those that get to go, have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixohdieselrage Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I would but I cannot ride anything till my rib and clavicle are better. Sorry @DonHelbig. I'd love to help otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool75 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Reminds me of when Kings Island made me famous for a few years. I kinda know the feeling. Lol, I see myself plastered all over the park and around the city. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I REALLY want to do this...but it's a Tuesday so I have school and then I work after. My May class starts at 11 but I know my dad probably doesn't want me driving 45 minutes one way to and from Kings Island twice in one day. I know opportunities like this will likely come around again, so I'm not too bummed. Have fun, everyone who goes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmhornblessed Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Emailed yesterday from the park. That should count for extra credit right... I hope so!Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 ^I'm not sure if they can tell I applied. I've done it before, but on a day when the park wasn't open to the GP so it would be interesting to see how it's handled on a day I could be in the park anyway, if I'm selected. It can be a little boring as they set up the cameras but the actual, hired, models gossiping about their personal lives may be entertaining. It's fun to see yourself in advertising too, obvs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmony29 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Where exactly do I need to turn to go in? I'm not exactly sure where the employee entrance is if I'm coming off 71 north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 ^ Upon arrival, you'll need to follow the exact instructions in your e-mail from the park. The employee entrance and security checkpoint is accessed from Western Row Rd; it's across from the Sunoco station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 As far as I know, you don't actually need a pass to participate in one of the photo shoots. You enter the park through the employee areas and the email specifies you may stay and enjoy the rest of the day in the park after the shoot is over which would be a strange thing to tell specifically to passholders (because of course we can :)) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannersdaddy Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Heres to hoping the weather is good. Of course, if it rains, it will be really easy to tell the enthusiasts from the models. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmony29 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I really hope it will be rescheduled, my husband and I were really looking forward to it. I think we are going to take our chances anyway and go to the park, it should be pretty dead with it being a weekday and bad weather reports.
