It's 2013 and just under four more months until Kings Island opens its gates. For the 3rd year, each day I will try my best to post a "vintage" Kings Island photo from my massive collection of photos I've saved and came across over the years. Most of the photo's I will be posting are not my personal photos and I do not claim them to be mine. If anyone has a problem with a certain photo they wish not to be posted or anything else feel free to "Personal Message" me on KIC rather then posting in the topic. If you have photos of your own you'd like to contribute feel free to "Personal Message" me or simply add to the topic discussion. And try not to quote photo's that are directly above your post, its annoying.

Well said Cody. I first met Jess when we rode up to Cedar Point together, within the first hour we were already singing to Ke$ha in my car. Very outgoing and accepted everyone. She'll be missed. (On the way to Cedar Point a train stopped, thus stopping traffic, so we jumped out and posed for a picture)

It seems as Thunder Alley is being removed now. The 2 tall lamp posts in the center of the track seem to have been removed and equipment is active in the area. (As seen from GWL)

Nice cat lol Easy: Any Basket Ball Game Hard: Zephyr with Tower in background Expert: Flight of Fear "security camera" at door entrance.

2012- +/-30? 2011-143 2010-119 2009-43 2008-71 2007-35 2006-29 2005-18 2004-29 I've only made note of number of Beast rides. I think 2013 will be similar to 2010 & 2011

What are the top 5 "coolest" things you have in your KI office.

READ Lets add a 3rd option for photo locations called "Expert" (Something extremely specific yet practical) feel free to use previous peoples unfound locations if you can't think of one. Your goal is to answer the Expect levels before the Easy levels Easy: (A basic simple practical location in the park) Hard: (A more specific practical location in the park) Expert: (Very specific practical location in the park) Please keep all locations "Current" ____________________________________________________________________________________ Easy: Flowers in the park Hard: Backlot Queue Expert: Close up of the emblem on the front of The Beast Trains.

And these are from?

Some coasters have "checkpoints" along the course that relay info back to the control panel to inform the speed of that exact spot. This however may or may not be the maximum speed.

Sure lol

Hard: The word "Rivertown" on a sign Easy: Beast Arcade

It would be a perfect fit for Strickers Grove.

Considering The Vortex overlook is one of the most iconic parts of the park, I'd have to disagree with you ^

That's most def potato works

Hard: A flag in the park (not front gate) Easy: Potato Works
