On Saturday, June 26th, the iNET team and their families are gathering for a fun and thrilling day at Kings Island, a world-renowned amusement park located just outside Cincinnati, Ohio. Although most of the day will be spent challenging many of the biggest, baddest, longest, fastest and best rides in the world, or for families with young kids, hanging out at Planet Snoopy (Amusement Today Golden Ticket award 2001 through 2009), the team will merge at the picnic area in the afternoon for lunch and other festivities.
Every summer iNET sponsors a family event and brings together the entire iNET team including its many remote team members from around the world. The event supports iNET’s values. In addition to flex-time, flexible personal days, and tele-commuting, the family event is another way for iNET to demonstrate its commitment to a work/life balance.
Kings Island is an excellent location that satisfies the diverse interests of the iNET team with tons of rides and attractions for the whole family. Known for its thrill rides including The Beast, DiamondBack and FireHawk, the anticipation is building for me to see my comrades’ expressions after getting off a roller coaster that swings you 115 feet in the air through five inversions at speeds of more than 50 miles per hour – all while facing the ground!! Can’t wait to see those pictures!!! And next week’s “water-cooler” stories? I am sure they’ll be more than one memorable experience shared from this weekend.
