Nathan Ryder took a ride
Here's WFIE's Nathan Ryder's report from tonight's 5 o'clock news.
If you watch closely, you'll see that Mrs. Koch was on the first boat. She wasn't going to ride today...but at the last minute, hopped on. There are lots of Kochs on that boat, actually...Will's wife, Lori, their younger daughter, Leah, and William A. Koch III. And in the back seat, Will's brother Philip with his daughter Alexa.
Here they are:
The family that rides together ... gets soaking wet together.

Taking the plunge
Would anyone like for us to make a wallpaper out of this shot?
Will and Santa rode the first boat on Pilgrims Plunge this afternoon with the media on hand.
So how did they do?
We had about 15 Twitterers on hand to ride. You'll find their tweets here.

Testin' in the rain
Now Gene Kelly's voice will be in my head the rest of the day...
... just testin' in the rain, what a glorious feeling, I'm happy again...

Smile and say, "Pepsi, please!"
As we get closer to opening each season, John keeps busy writing and producing our ad campaign.
For editing our "creative," he travels to Cincinnati. He was there a week or so ago and was delighted when, while at lunch, he looked out the window and saw this on the back of a Pepsi truck:
John approached the Pepsi truck drivers and asked, "Hey guys, can I talk to you for a minute?"
Priceless response: "Uh...what did we do?"
John happily emailed me the photo with the Pepsi guys, quipping: "Kings Island may have Diamondback, but we've got Truckback!"
