  1. My first time I went to King's island was right around 02' and or 03' I remember Tomb Raider was a pretty new ride and I waited for about 2-3 hours to ride it. Sadly I wasn't very impressed with it ( Not counting the theme that was top notch!) but my heart was stolen the second time I rode the Flight of Fear.. TopGun1993 could you please find some more pictures of Kings Island right around that time 02' and 03' :) I really would love to see it like it was almost a decade :P even tho it really didn't change that much sense then :P haha. But all of these pictures are great :D Even if they just go back a year they are still a great way to reflect the memories. I have to say 2010 was my favorite year while 2011 wasn't! But Gosh, I was blown away by the Flight of Fear's still to this day :P If I can dig up some of the photo's we have taken at King's Island our self's I will send some your way! Keep up the good work!

    I have home video of the park from 2003 :) but its on VHS i have no idea how to convert it to download it to my laptop.

  2. "ray of light" - modonna , I remembering the music video playing while in line for WWC back in 98 i think.

    also, "Wannabe"- spice girls, and "no Rain" -blind melon. I also rememer these music videos playiing while in line. Not real sure on the year but everytime i hear them, reminds me of Kings Island.

  3. I really hope it opens again in the future by new owners. But I truthfully I dont see it happening. To much competition across the street. When The beach Opened there was no water park at Kings Island,

    Last time I went to The Beach was back in 2003 and it seemed very busy the day I went, and that was a week day.

    just a shame, very bummed. I was looking forward to taking my kids there one day. Its sad to see a place go that you have many memories at.

  4. Everytime i ever rode it I always came off the the ride with tons of bruises and felt like i just got beat up by somoneone twice the size of me. But it didnt stop me from rising it the next time i came back.lol. sounds crazy.lol I could only handle riding it one time each visit though.

    My uncle rode it one year for the first time, and messed his back up bad. He eneded up having surgery because of it. I dont think he will ever forgive me for taking him on it. lol

  5. I do remember that I said "i'm willing to bet money it would be gone for 2012", and someone said they were willing to bet everything I was wrong. hmmm who was that? i will have to go back and look at previous post. lol

  6. I remembering being very young , 7 years old maybe and seeing Vortex and being scared out of my mind. It was closed that day because I remember my family not being able to ride it, but i remember telling myself, "there is no way i would ever get on that" lol . My family has been taking me to Kings Island since I was 3 years old but I really don't have any memories until i was about 7 years old of the park. Probably because that is the year I rode my first big coaster. The Racer! :)

  7. I went about 4 years without getting on KIC or even going to the park. I had kids. got married and lost interest. Last year was the first time I went in a long time and all the excitement I use to have for the place came back. I've never hung out with anyone from KIC but I look forward too it this year. I also bought a pass and plan on going a lot. :)
