I went to the park today to shoot Diamondback. That thing is so big. I can't wait for everyone to see it on the 31st for themselves. You'll get your first glimpse Diamondback as you come down Kings Island Drive. It dominates the landscape.
I'm so glad that the event is finally taking shape. The Great Wolf Lodge thing was an idea pitched to me by the park. I love working with the Great Wolf Lodge people. They're always very curious and very helpful. I wish there was more I could do for them.
I'm hearing little tidbits about some of the new shows in 2009. I'm really excited. KIC members will get to hear a lot more at the KIC event. Some stuff is (rightfully) returning and some shows will be new. Either way it'll be quite a bill for 2009!

Enthusiast Event May 9-10
Word from under the Black Hat is that Kings Island will be hosting an enthusiast event starring Diamondback on May 9 through the 10th. You have to be a card carrying coaster club member to participate. Gotta gets me some of that Diamondback ERT!!!
The question being, is KIC a coaster enthusiast group? No. Can KIC people come to the event? We're working on it.
A lot of people ask me how many coaster clubs have the noble honor of having me as a member. The answer is none. I have a lot of friends in these groups and do have the utmost respect for many of these groups. Let's put it this way -- I'm a hockey fan. I love hockey. I love watching hockey. I love (trying) to play hockey. I love every aspect of the game. Would I join a high sticking enthusiast group? No. As much as I respect the rule, it's only part of the big picture. Same reigns true for roller coasters. I love coasters but roller coasters as a whole don't hold a candle to the overall experience. I think a lot of that is reflected heavily in my work on KIC.
I'm going to KI tomorrow to get some Diamondback shots. I hope it's not terribly cold out. Historically I've always had good luck. Never been rained on during the offseason. I hope my luck carries over to everyone else at the Blues Party.
New developments on the Offseason Blues Party. Can't say anything until things are finalized, but it'll be a blast. I promise.
Until next time,
