| | | Kings Island - September 1st, 2007
Jeggeman is looking at coming to Cincinnati (well, 20 miles north) with his family on September 1st. It is government employee day for his job at Kings Island and I'd like to see who from here would like to tag along and have a good day riding amusement rides.
For more information on Kings Island please go to... Kings Island | Official Home Page
I am looking at it being a quick one or two day event down here depending on how long people want to stay or hang out. Admission to Kings Island is $35 if you have a coupon from Wendy's or if you buy the ticket online at least 3 days in advance. Basically, you don't have to make a commitment now, but I'd like at least a decent interest level from those in the tri-state area.
Parking I know is outrageous however, we can meet down the street somewhere and then have a few cars go inside to save on parking prices.
So, my Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana pals, who wants to go? Others are of course welcome, but not sure if the drive is worth it.

| | | Yes the wife, 3 kids and myself will be there. It would be nice to meet some of you. Kevin and I have already had lunch once. We should pick a place and time for all to gather for a few. Maybe like for a late afternoon snack or something. We will be doing lunch with the my employer as our $30 tickets include an all u can eat lunch.

Cincinnati has an airport. Not 100% sure what part of town it is located, but I don't think it should be more than 30min away.
Kevin I am sure will be able to chime in on the drive time

| | | It's actually in Kentucky, Covington to be exact. It's airport code is CVG (for Covington) yet's it's called Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
From the airport to Kings Island should be about 30-40 minute drive time (just souther of the river). I will say though, CVG is one of (if not #1) the most expensive airports in the country. Tickets to/from there generally cost 50-100% more for som stupid reason.
Dayton is the airport to fly into if you can. It would then take about 45 minutes to get to Kings Island from there.

I was hoping there would be lots of kids......I don't do the rides and didn't want her to do them alone. Emily will ride with the 8 year old, she gets along great with younger kids. Hubby isn't sure he will go and he usually does it. He is reluctant to drop me off without someone to look out for me, but I told him I will be with a bunch of Diabetics, so I am pretty sure I will be safe.

| | | Pencil me in. I just applied for a US airways credit card with all the bonus miles and stuff and they came back at me with an 18% APR!! F that. Hopefully they saved my info and offer something reasonable, I am guessing probably not though. |

Ok...I'll say it...WHY THE HECK DO STORES SET STUFF OUT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE HOLIDAY. LOL I wonder what idiots really buy that, of course, I'm the one that buys stuff 364 days before that holiday, aka, the day after when it's marked 50% off, lol.
