standbyme Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I noticed that the "Something fun..." slogan appears to be in the same font as the old Kings Island logo...is it a common/normal font? I thought it was odd that the artist chose to accentuate that Scooby was a costumed character and not the "real" Scooby running around. (I also like seeing Dick Van Dyke on this brochure...it is one of the few things that my hometown has produced that is good.) I can't say as I like the outside of The Kings Island Inn better than it looks today. "Kings Island's Screamin' Demon- a super fast coaster that shoots you through a loop completely UPSIDE DOWN..." NO! Not upside down...that can't be possible! The lion in the tree is a cute photo. Fred & Barney had better talk to their doctors about the medication that they are on...it appears that they are retaining too much water. "Listen to a life-like Knute Rockne urging his players to "Win one for The Gipper"...that reminds me of what my grandparents & parents considered a compliment after coming home from a funeral, they would always say "Didn't he/she look so life-like". I saw The Rolling Stones from the 11th row in that stadium! (It's only Rock N' Roll...but I like it!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 the font is strikingly close to the Firestone logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 One thing I don't understand about those brochures. Why did they have separate toll-free numbers depending on whether or not you were calling from within Ohio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Great post, has anyone got or seen a 1977 brochure? By chance thanks: Keep up those memories, what a find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Loved the early year hours too always till 11pm, gave you more time in the evening, plus the mention of the enchated voyage again! What a ride of some sort and shape should come back maybe the clue would be the big empty shell of a building in River town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Standbyme does it again. Man, this stuff is great! I agree that the artist's depiction of the characters is a bit strange. It's almost as if there's no defining line between whether or not Scooby is a costumed character or if he's just put on weight. And the five fingers on a human hand connected to a dog? Most of the photographs are excellent. I loved how parks like Kings Island used to not only have their own darkrooms, but their own photographers.

Guest TombraiderTy Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The characters may look odd, but I enjoy the picture on the page with the park's areas. Thanks for sharing this and all the others; they're all very interesting to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
