Nick_Plummer 2107 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hi there! My name is Nick and I am 13 years old. Just thought I'd introduce myself to the forums and start a discussion. Okay, so I am on Google Earth looking at Kings Island (In hopes that it has been updated since 2012) and I saw something in the back behind Dinosaurs Alive: It looks like some arrow cars and a bunch of other things. I apologize if this has been previously mentioned. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I apologize if this has been previously mentioned. I actually brought that up when I was new too. From what I understand those are the old trams. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
medford 4392 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 graveyard for old things at Kings Island that may have a future use down the road. (props, parts, higher salvage value, etc..) 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ride On_17 11792 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Welcome to KIC! (Edit: And I was beat by Terpy! ) And yes, those are various pieces and parts of things, and I have also heard that there are parts from the old trams there. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda neat really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CP&LERR Fan 2180 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 There was a old security booth there and the Scobby Doo mystery machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeastForever 6855 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 If you look closely, I think you can see the old Patrick Star prop that used to stand outside the "Nickelodeon Slime Zone" attraction (now Snoopy's Splash Dance). 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheCrypt 5197 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 That image is several years old. I would not be surprised to find that most of what you see in the picture is no longer at the park. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would not be surprised to find that most of what you see in the picture is no longer at the park. Actually most of it is still there. Last page of this topic you will see Scooby doo mystery machine, security booth, trams and I think theres something in there from Boomerang Bay. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/28432-remnants-of-past-attractions/page-4#entry567810 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheCrypt 5197 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Are we talking about the same area? The area the OP in this topic is referring to is over near WindSeeker/DA. I think lopan's photos are over near where Son of Beast used to be, as indicated by him referring to it as the "old safari area." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedevariouseffect 14852 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 If it is still there, I wonder why we never get a tour to said backstage areas...Those things would be exciting to see. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_Plummer 2107 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'm going to take a look at Google Earth and see about that other area (IDK if I'll be able to see past SOB) But the area I mentioned earlier, it looks kind of like a garage sale.

fryoj 4183 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Best I can tell, the image is from 4/2/2012 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ride On_17 11792 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Toward the bottom right of the original screenshot image, the date "8/29/12" is visible. So it's not too outdated. If all that stuff was there a year ago, I'd assume it would still be there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveWorldEmperor 75 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I think (although am not sure) that the trains in the back to the left of the old SoB psv's are the trains from the Villain that was at Geauga Lake. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeastForever 6855 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I would pay a considerable sum of money just to be able to go back there and see up close all those historical gems... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
