BoddaH1994 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Another e-mail from the desk of Maureen Kaiser: Hey there. We're looking for some riders.... I know it's smack in the middle of the day, but if anyone's available, we could use the help. As is typical, it will be a hurry up and wait situation, but there is lunch!! :-) As far as National Geographic goes, here's the scoop: We're looking for stars of all ages to join us for a special National Geographic television shoot Sept. 28 - 29 at Paramount's Kings Island. We will ride a several coasters, including Flight of Fear, Son of Beast and Top Gun. Call times are as follows: Sept 28: 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sept. 29: 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. (ish) Participants should wear brightly colored tops and jeans or shorts. The tops should have no logos (park logos, especially) or advertisements. Hats should not be worn. Lunch will be provided. We would love for folks to stay for the duration of the day, but we can definitely work with different schedules! Those interested should contact Maureen Kaiser via email at maureen.kaiser@paramountparks.com.

Reclaimer Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I'm hoping to go...even though it's a two hour drive, it'd be worth it!
specialk141 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 i got excited when i erad "next week" thinking i might actually be able to take part in one of these.... finally then i realized i was misled by ryan and it will actually be 2 and a half weeks..... by which time i am already back into the swing of school at UC.... BOOOO!
BoddaH1994 Posted September 13, 2005 Author Posted September 13, 2005 CORRECTION!! Check the dates of this filming! It is in fact in 2 weeks, not next week!
TheKlockster Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Can anybody go to this or is it just the ACErs?
flightoffear1996 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Wow that is sweet I think I might go.
Reclaimer Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Does anyone know if the only rides that will be running will be Top Gun, SOB, and FoF? I'm just wondering if it'll be worth the two hour trip to the park since they just announced this even in the newsletter, it'll probably be ungodly crowded, and with only a few rides open, it's bound to be a nightmare.
flightoffear1996 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Yea that is what the email from Kings Island had said today.
BoddaH1994 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Posted September 28, 2005 From the desk of Maureen Kaiser: Our National Geographic shoot started today (first of three days), and it's going GREAT! Thanks again to everyone who volunteered to assist - we couldn't do it without you!!!! We have two schedule changes, and I wanted to make you aware of them ASAP. First, on Wednesday's shoot, we will not be filming on Top Gun. Rather, we will ride The Racer. Yay! Second, we will NOT need volunteer riders on Thursday. I apologize for those who signed up to assist us on Thursday, but we will only film Son of Beast as a structure and do not need riders. Thank you SO much for your patience and understanding. I do look forward to seeing those who are able to come tomorrow. Please know that I will keep everyone's name and contact information on a list for future opportunities. We do quite a few shoots in the park each season and are always looking for enthusiastic folks!!

TheKlockster Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Don't just show up for this... You had to have registered with Maureen prior to it. If you show up you probably wont be riding...
The-Snapper Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Can anybody go to this or is it just the ACErs? ACERS SUCK LOL
DeLorean Rider Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 If you do go just make sure not to ride in the front, thats for TALENT ONLY!! Because clearly it takes extreme talent to ride a roller coaster.
The-Snapper Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 If you do go just make sure not to ride in the front, thats for TALENT ONLY!! Because clearly it takes extreme talent to ride a roller coaster. TALENTS YOU SUCK BALLS you piece of TALENT
Admiral Ackbar Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 I will be one of the people in the front. OMG were LAUNCHING! ZERO TO FIFTY FOUR IN FOUR SECONDS! AAAH INTO THE COBRA ROLL! NOW THE SIDEWINDER! ... And so on... And it doesn't take talent, just a hot bod like mine - the typical ACEr physique! Boy I can't wait for the lunch!
BoddaH1994 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Posted September 28, 2005 Another from the desk of Maureen Kaiser: Guys, Remember how I said that I didn't need volunteers for tomorrow? Well that was a bold faced lie. In fact, National Geographic has asked us for more volunteers to ride (most likely) The Beast. We'll meet at Post 3 at 1 p.m. Anyone is welcome as long as they are at least 48" tall. Would you mind posting this/sharing with the masses? THANK YOU!!!!!!

TheKlockster Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 I did 10 on FOF and 11 on Beast. It was great. WE LOVE THE HELIX!!!
pkiboy Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Yup thats the best part about The Beast is the HELIX.
