If anyone has a coasterstock ticket and they're not planning to go anymore, please let me know! My friend was one day late registering and buying her ticket and I really don't want to go to the event alone. It doesn't matter if the ticket is season pass or not, I will pay full price. Thank you!

We can see what is going on with "Orion"

Orion? You mean The Real Mike Koontz Experience.

You mean Project X

NO THAT.

Why are we being yelled at?

They're renaming Flight of Fear to Orion? Wow!

Please do not use all caps! It is considered yelling and rude. That is against the terms of service.

Do you think this freestyle stand will be open only on the odd hours, when it's under 80 degrees outside on a Tuesday? 

^Yep, that’s the one 

We are having a great time!

Kings Island rolled out the red carpet for Coasterstock. Not just Don, Chad, and his team for organizing a great event. We have to acknowledge the ride ops that stayed late and came in early. Maintenance for getting the rides running for ERT. Chef Major and his department for feeding us. That whole park worked tirelessly to make CoasterStock a great event for us enthusiasts and they made it look like it was any other operating day.

A tremendous event.  Here's a link to the KI Blog with a summary of what made "Coasterstock" so special:

What a great Coasterstock article! I thought the few paragraphs explaining about coaster enthusiasts was a nice touch as some Blog readers may not be familiar with us. Just out of curiosity, which Haunt maze did attendees get to walk through?

Slaughterhouse

It was a great event! I even was given a tour of the Kings Island Theater including behind the scenes of Gravity. Looking forward to seeing the show again!

This was my third Coasterstock and it was another great year.  I really enjoyed both Jeff Gramke and Dennis Spiegel.  I also thought it was smart for Don to vet the questions this year rather than the random free for all non vetted questions.

I too liked the submit your questions format. It also keeps the Q&A time to a decant amount of time.

Double post here, sorry.

I added pictures and updated the CoasterStock page for this year!

I just wanted to point out that I'm clearly visible in the train shot photo. I'm behind one guys head and waiving.

Coaster Stock 2019 was the best one I've attended yet! The weather was perfect, I met some new friends, me and my friends enjoyed the ERT, the food was fantastic, and the behind the scenes tours were just as awesome. I re-met Malem aka Michael and then there was another guy with him named Brad. I forgot his screen name on here so If you see this, please quote me and say who you are. I also wanted to add, that I loved hearing the guests speakers that Don Helbig invited to the luncheon and dinner meets. The only thing that I wish would have happened is for me to run into Charlie Brown, but I'll catch that blockhead another day.
