Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I think "The Flintstones" was well out of first run by the time KI opened; at least the "Honeymooners"-style, prime-time shows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Terp, I thought I read on these boards or somewhere similar that Taft wanted an amusement park to showcase their characters, similar to the Disney model. Was this correct? Any more details on this? True. That's why they bought Coney Island of Ohio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 I think that if it wasn't for the success that Racer had, there wouldn't be as such big wooden coasters. Even if someone else made a coaster as successful as Racer at another park, it wouldn't be the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSkippy Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I just now realized how egocentric this thread sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Well, did you really expect to read about the paramount importance of Great Advencha here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 If KI didn't exist, there would still be an amusement park in this market. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Tower Johnny would probably still be alive. Evel Kneivel would have jumped buses elsewhere. Nick Lachey would be a country/western star. Thousands of couples who first met and fell in love at Kings Island would probably have never met, and thus thousands of you wouldn't even exist. Interesting. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I would trade away KI for Firefly not being cancelled. Ok, maybe not. But I'd consider it at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Goodness, Lesourdsville would have expanded and became the premiere park in all of Greater Cincinnati. But honestly maybe we would have without Kings Island had a park at the 71/75 split in Kentucky with lots of Disney influence.... The good thing is that Kings Island and the vision made it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Fess Parker would have built a Disneyland type park in Boone County, Ky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Maybe. What happens to 90 percent plus of planned new US parks? And nearly 100 percent within five years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
