AgentSoB Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hello there! I'm a long time member that used to be a whole lot more active on this site. I still very much love the site and lurk all the time. My sister has breast cancer and the outlook is not a good one. Her treatment hasn't been successful this go round. So, she has decided to stop treatment to avoid being sick all the time for no reason. She is spending a day with each immediate family member, and ours is Saturday the 26th at Kings Island. She wanted to spend the day with her brother at his favorite place. Also, she wanted her last new ride to be on Orion. I was wondering if anyone here had experiences with using the disability pass, and what to expect with it on what I'm sure will be a busy Saturday. I'll be pushing her around in her wheelchair. Do I just wheel that up the exit? Also, was thinking about Fun Pix, as this will be one of my last big memories with her. Is it worth it? What all does it involve? I don't know how long of a day we will be able to have, but she wants to stay for as long as she possibly can go. I want to make it as special as possible for her. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PilotDude Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Please contact quest services at the park and let them know what you have going on and they will do everything with in their power to help you. I am sorry you have to go through this, but what an amazing way to remember your sister. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Fun pix is a great idea and one that I have used before. After exiting a ride, you can view your photo, give the number that corresponds to your photo to the employee there. They bring it up and then scan your lanyard. At the end of your day, you can go to guest services to print them out or you can actually print them out at home. I thought it was well worth the money. So sorry that you are going through this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOBwasaSOB Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I don't have anything helpful to add, but I do want to say that you sound like an amazing brother. I am terribly sorry that your family is going through this, but I am glad that you get the chance to make memories that will last your entire life. I highly recommend documenting it with pictures, whether they are purchased from KI or just taken by yourself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSoB Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Thank you! She is definitely excited for our trip. It's nice to see a smile on her face knowing she has something to look forward to. Today she had a reading of some scans she had earlier in the week. For the first time since it has come back, it actually responded a bit to the last bit of treatment she had. Right now it's about comfortability, and this news means she can literally breathe a little easier. It has taken some pressure off of her esophagus. I'm not sure if this is going to change things and motivate her to fight for a little more time, but it was a nice bit of positive news. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 If I were you, I'd even go so far as to call the park up and explain things. They might set you up even better given the circumstances. Hope this turns out awesome for you guys. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 If you have trouble getting through to Guest Services, you might also try reaching out to someone like Don (Helbig) on Twitter. Don's been a loyal friend and true to this site over the years and has often gone above and beyond. Thoughts and prayers to your family. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He responded and was very helpful. He's such a great asset to the park, and an all around good person! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting our Orion ride soon! Edited September 26, 2020 by AgentSoB Added photo 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
