July 30, 201016 yr Today at the 3:30 show of Signed, Sealed, Delivered, a female performer (I believe her name is Kimber) fell during the show. She was helped off stage and did not return to that performance. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go to any further performances during the day to see if she was back in the lineup or not. I sure hope she's OK. She hit hard... I missed what happened as I was sending a text message, but I heard the impact and I heard the crowd sigh. Kudos to the rest of the cast, though, as they kept singing and dancing and didn't miss a beat. If this young lady had a solo part after her fall, they covered it seamlessly. If anyone has any info about the performer's condition, please post or let me know through private message.
July 30, 201016 yr I sent her a message to check on her. And yes the show must go on no matter what. She is a trooper she will be fine
August 1, 201016 yr I sent her a message to check on her. And yes the show must go on no matter what. She is a trooper she will be fine Do you actually know her? Like, hang out with her outside of Kings Island?
August 1, 201016 yr I hope she is okay, when you perform many shows a day something like this is bound to happen. I hope she makes a quick recovery and gets back on her feet.
August 1, 201016 yr I do not hang out with her but know Why is that? Stalk much? What we need here...
August 1, 201016 yr Wow send someone a message to see if they are ok, and this is the kind of responses you receive.

I think aside from AZ Kinda Guy's initial insult, everyone else has been on your side of it? My post, specifically, was poking fun at how he "jumped to conclusions." (Office Space reference)
August 2, 201016 yr Author FYI I caught part of the show a couple times today and she was there, singing her heart out . . . so I guess she's fine. One of the other female performers had her ankle wrapped, though . . . poor girls are getting beat up!
August 2, 201016 yr It is not an easy job. I did it back when, 5 shows a day 6 days a week can be murder on your body.
August 2, 201016 yr I know from the experience of doing haunted attractions, it is murder on you. There are contributing factors, but at the haunt I have to wear a kneebrace under my costume just so I can act all night.
August 2, 201016 yr One of the other female performers had her ankle wrapped, though . . . poor girls are getting beat up! I noticed that too. Didn't affect her performance one bit though!
August 2, 201016 yr It is not an easy job. I did it back when, 5 shows a day 6 days a week can be murder on your body. Wow, having to know how to walk and sing karaoke at the same time for almost 15 hours a week. I bet the men on Deadliest Catch and UFC are glad they don't have a job that difficult. Oh, and.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqotKEKEvcM

Oh, and.... http://www.youtube.c...h?v=mqotKEKEvcM This is perhaps the most inappropriately bitter thing I've seen posted on this forum. I would imagine the folks on UFC AND Dealiest Catch make considerably more an hour to do what they do, as well. But my best guess is that the poster of this comment hasn't done any of the three . . . .

Kirk...it's possible that if you don't know BavarianBeatle his post may come off wrong...but I know it was not meant to be mean.
August 2, 201016 yr ^Sounds like you know him. Or stalk him... ...and now this topic has come full circle.
August 2, 201016 yr Author Sarcasm...I love it! Kirk...it's possible that if you don't know BavarianBeatle his post may come off wrong...but I know it was not meant to be mean. And imagine that you are one of the performers who works VERY hard at Kings Island every day to entertain people and came on here to find this sarcastic comment. How would they take the post? Perhaps its because of my professional life, but people's feelings DO matter. Inappropriate sarcasm IS mean, whether its intended to be or not. Belittling the thing about the parks I love the most - the shows - fires me up. I'm already defensive enough about not being a ride warrior because they've designed the rides for short skinny people. Leave my performers alone! :-)
August 2, 201016 yr And imagine that you are one of the performers who works VERY hard at Kings Island every day to entertain people and came on here to find this sarcastic comment. How would they take the post? As I mentioned, if you "know" him you would know that it was not meant to be mean spirited. Check out some of his older posts and you will find that he is a very valuable member of this site...check out the "KIC What Happened" thread. If a performer is a regular member of this site they know what kind of poster he is.

If someone says something I disagree with, in content or in tone, it is OK to comment on. Right? Or did I miss a memo somewhere?

August 2, 201016 yr I just noticed this: ^Sounds like you know him. Or stalk him... ...and now this topic has come full circle. I love it! (And to be honest I have never met him in person...or even PM'd him...I just "know" him from his posts...I gotta go stalk now...see ya.)

August 2, 201016 yr *reads thread* /facepalm Good to know she's ok. Any performance job is not easy. I just know it from a Haunt scare actor viewpoint but still, we're still performing, just in different way.
