Ok here is the deal!



For those of you who don't know already, Next year Paramount’s Kings Island is launching a new and exiting ride called Italian Job Stunt Track. Seen here



http://www.pki.com/italianjob/ij3.html



I have arranged an opening day (2005) gathering of Mini's (new and old!) to participate in a very festive launch of the park and this new ride!



THIS IS BREAKING NEWS AND THERE ARE MORE EXITING THINGS TO COME.
THERE WILL BE A SIGN-UP AND ENTRANCE TO THE PARK ARAINGEMENTS MADE. DATES HAVE NOT BEEN SET YET, BUT KEEP CHECKING BACK TO THIS THREAD FOR MORE BREAKING INFO.



If you would like to know more outside of these forums, please send me a quick email at romhog@woh.rr.com and I will keep you on the mailing list for more info.

 

I'm definitely interested... can you say ROAD TRIP!!!

But... when is opening day? Does this conflict with the Dragon? I hope not since I'm going to that & would like to do both. Please tell me you're planning this for a weekend day otherwise I can't go...

 

I definitely will be interested in this road trip! You probably can count on a mini-van from the Southeast.

Keep us posted.

 

Audioman showed me this earlier. Count me in...we were even talking about having a MINI Day there! You must have read our minds Chris! Oh wait, we are all MINI Enthusiasts here...no wonder we all think alike!!!! I'm all about an awesome amusement park fun ride!!!!!! Besides, it's full of MINIs!!!!

Rock on with the Road Trip!!!!!!! All RDU and Fayetteville MCSs of course...we should all road trip together!!!! This way, our Italian Job moves can be honed and used accordingly...although Audioman did get a headstart on that yesterday!

Suh-weet!

Thanks for taking the initial step with this. I'll get as many MINIs as I can from up north to partake.

Woohoo!

Look out Marky Mark, here we come!

 

We seriously ought to invite the Italian Job stars to come party with the MINIs!! Dibs on Handsome Rob! LOL

 

So I guess this means I have to settle for either Marky Mark or Seth Green huh??? Can we scream SCOTT!!!!!

 

My wife calls Seth Green!

Here in MN we had an advanced screening of The Italian Job where we got to meet the stunt driver and talk to him. The next day the stunt driver was in the parking lot showing off his skills. I wonder if we could get him to do the same at PKI??

 

Then I have Marky Mark, as long as he serenades me with his Good Vibrations song!!!

 

LOL

I guess I better call Charlize then.

 

Hi again!

I am already getting draw from states all around Ohio that are interested in making the road trip. They now know how serious this is going to be and are really pumped up about the idea. I know we are going to get treated well.
Its still sooooo early on and I dont want to give away things before they are fact. But i'm sure the day will involve Free Parking, and possibly a huge discount in to the park. I am also talking with them about getting us to be one of the first groups of people to ride the ride!

I will for sure update once I know any facts.
Thanks again and keep spreading the word!

 

Rom,

Awesome! I'm so exicted about this!!!! Defintely count me in coming from NC!!! I do have relatives in KY that live about an hour away from the park on some awesome twisties, but after a day in the park, I would want some place closer to lay my little head with Marky Mark since someone else has already claimed Handsome Rob!

I think that there are some other people from NC wanting to go to this! I'm so stoked!!! Thanks so much for getting this set up! I just with that this was closer to me, but since I do have my uncle and the twisties, I have an awesome excuse to get there now!

Any NC drivers up for some killer twisties on the way up there????

Sent you a separate mail, but wanted to let everyone reading the thread know that i live about 30 mins from PKI and I am looking forward to meeting everyone. There may be a chance to have a night-before drive in at a local restaurant. There a TON of things we can do to enjoy fellow miniac's company. Count me in.

 

Count me in! This is a definite motoring adventure.

 

Woo hoo! I'm only a little over an hour away so I will definately be there!

 

We are interested in East Tennessee too. I would like to know approximately what opening day is though :smile: for planning purposes. Three kids and four MINIs/Minis makes for a busy calendar.

 

Count me in guys....hopefully I will be back from Iraq by then! This sure does sound like an awesome trip...cant wait!

 

Ya darned skippy that I'll be there! Just mention to Paramount that having it during the Dragon Run wouldn't be a good idea!

-Paul!!!!!!

 

I used to go to this park visiting my grandparents during the summers.

I'll be there if I can make the date work.

 

Count me in for sure. Sounds great!!

 

Sounds great. I get a newsletter from PKI and saw the drawings for the ride. Looks pretty cool. Count us in if the dates work out!

Jenn B, where in Indy?

 

I've always wanted to go to King's Island - anyone talk to them and ask when the launch date for the ride is?

 

I was thinking the same thing. No... please don't happen the same time as the Dragon Run

 

Here is a link to PKI's website with a preview of the ride.
