National Geographic looking for enthusiasts at PKI

[disneygurlz2s]

Looks like National Geographic is going to be filming at PKI the weekend of the 28th and 29th and are looking for "stars" of all ages. (Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you're allowed to wear your TPR shirt...bummer). I copied this from my PKI e-newsletter that came today-

 

 

Destination Kings Island - National Geographic steps inside the gates of PKI in search of adventure seeking guests. The NG crew is looking for stars of all ages to participate in a special National Geographic television shoot Sept. 28th - 29th. Several coasters will be included in the shoot such as the indoor dark coaster, Flight of Fear and the world's most intimidating and only looping wooden coaster, Son of Beast. Plus, participants will also get to fulfill their need for speed on the suspended steel coaster, Top Gun.

 

Guests who take advantage of this unique opportunity should wear brightly colored tops and jeans or shorts. The tops should have no logos (park logos, especially) or advertisements. Additionally, no hats should be worn during the shoot. Lunch will be provided to all who participate. Call times for this special television shoot will be Sept 28th from 8am - 4pm and Sept. 29th from 11:30am - 2:30pm.

 

Those interested should contact Maureen Kaiser via email at maureen.kaiser@paramountparks.com to check availability. Don't miss your chance to be a star where the Best of Hollywood entertainment is now playing!

 

Maybe a few of our TPR friends can make their small screen debut this way??

^Go for it Shari!

 

These film shoots really are a lot of fun! There ususally isn't too much riding, but that gives you time to sit back, chat with friends, and see how they're all created!

National Geographic Narrator: This is a coaster enthusiast, also known as an ACEr. They are commonly found at these "theme parks" and usually weigh at an astounding 400 pounds. The ACEr feasts on gravy on a daily basis and has a liking for crossing their arms and long tube socks. They also love the Beast alot for no reason whatsoever and argue in a flame war for hours on end at Coasterbuzz, a site that costs twenty bucks to join. Yes, the ACEr is a beautiful species...

 

Ahem, anyways, I would say go for it, its rare people that aren't in the mass media business ever go on National TV.

Film shoots are a lot of fun, I remember going to the Acro shoot for extreme rides 2002! I know there was a shoot for SUF but I didn't get to go to it because I didn't know about it until after it was filmed! What is the best way to find out about shoots?

You know, I really hate this...Possibly the one chance I get to be a star, and I'm in school Oh well, maybe when I go to college...

Hey... I am an ACEr and while I do enjoy theme parks, gravy, and The Beast... I do not post on Coasterbuzz, wear tube socks, nor am I 400 lbs. but I am a beautiful species thank you very much... (I hope you know I'm just teasing)

I am a member of ACE (don't shoot, I can explain!) but only for half price admission to Paramount parks. ACE started over 25 years ago and I think the simple fact is they have the exact smae members from the era who were just like all of us back then but turned into fat, loser, straight (lol, had to add that), mean, coasterbuzz loving, gravy eating, tube sock wearing losers! I have never been to an ACE event and never will be! I found better in TPR.
