I figured since I'm going to be riding, donating a lot more, and posting on here a bit more often, I'd do a better job at introducing myself
I'm Niki! Here is my donation page: http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/r0flcoasterniki/CedarPoint
I'm a ride host at CP and I absolutely could not ask for a better job. Especially since I'm blessed with the gift of working my all time favorite ride, Top Thrill Dragster. I gotta say, my enthusiasm for this ride is through the roof.
Turning 20 years old at 4:20pm, while going 420ft, 120mph.
A personal half-day marathon on Jr. Gemini at age 5, and later, a first major coaster ride on Magnum are my earliest memories of riding coasters. Since then I'm either riding, obsessing over, traveling for, or working coasters!
Aside from coasters, I'm a college student studying computer science and digital media. I'm quite a nerd who loves video games as well.
One reason I am participating in this event is to learn more about GKTW, since I have never have been directly involved with a charity event like this. And since TPR is jumping in this year, it's a perfect opportunity to learn, while representing a club and a park that are very important to me. And so far the first few days into it, it feels SO good to be a fundraiser for such a good cause. Part of the reason I work at an amusement park is to help put smiles on guests faces. I want to do the same for the children we help out through our donations. Knowing you made someone's day, or week in this matter, is one of the best feelings ever.
I am so eager to get to know more people here, especially before the marathon on June 10! If you visit the Point, I'd LOVE it if you'd stop and say hi at TTD. Any more you'd like to know, feel free to friend me on FB! http://www.facebook.com/r0flcoasterniki
