Kings Island Items In Charity Auction

[Jes]

I hope you don't mind the plug here, as I thought the readers of Kings Island Central might be interested in a charity auction runing now through August 14th that supports A Kid Again. There are several very unique Kings Island items up for auction:

Original Firehawk Sign: https://givergy.us/timeout2021/?controller=lots&action=showLot&id=161 
Orion In-Park Banners: https://givergy.us/timeout2021/?controller=lots&action=showLot&id=164
Diamondback Seat & Track Section: https://givergy.us/timeout2021/?controller=lots&action=showLot&id=169
Scrambler Car: https://givergy.us/timeout2021/?controller=lots&action=showLot&id=157
Original Beast Train Lap Bar: https://givergy.us/timeout2021/?controller=lots&action=showLot&id=170

A Kid Again is a great organization that makes life for families caring for a child with a life-threatening conditions “normal” again by helping them gain back moments of positive, family-shared experiences and memories. 100% of the winning bids of these items will go to A Kid Again. 

My hope is that these items can make their way to fans of the park, while also supporting a great cause that serves our community.

This is awesome! It's great to see old old park items being made available to park fans, versus  just being tossed in the garbage, while simultaneously helping out a great charity. Big kudos to Kings Island for this.

You talk about treasures! Woah! I sure hope some of these items find a good good home here. Thanks for the heads up, Jes!

I would love to own most of the items…but some are certainly going to end up well beyond my price range…and I wouldn’t have a clue where I would The Scrambler car. 

I will try for something because I think it’s a great cause.

Without a doubt, the Scrambler car has Jungle Jims written all over it.  I'm sure they'd be happy to make room for it somewhere inside the store and fill it with food!  They certainly have the means to buy it and the room to showcase it.

The DB seat would make a good gaming or sports watching seat.

Ive got a Mystery Mine seat at an event auction at Dollywood in 2014, for the grand total of... wait for it.... $50!!!!  And yes, its a great gaming chair.

Except its a seatback, not the entire seat.  And why does this seatback not have the all the black sweat stains on it? lol. Was it an extra one they just never used? I don't recall that those seats were replaced until they went all black a couple of seasons ago.

^You can always add stuff on.   Heck, you need a mount for it to even be functional, might as well splurge.

Would make a lovely flower planter in your front yard. To finish it off you just need a 36” section of lift chain for you mailbox post and a couple of train wheels for the sides of your driveway.

It would be like a “Karen magnet” in my neighborhood if I did that! 

(Not that I would blame them…that would be quite an eyesore.)
