TOPGUN1993

SOB in the front row with the 2008/2009 non looping trains was pretty good and smooth... but any other row you felt the jolt of the rosebowl hard. I agree with you on how impressive the structure was. I was able to explore some parts of it over the years.... maybe those pictures will be posted one day...

The new character sculpts look fantastic, excited to see more!

My guess is they drop a few of the Winterfest crafting sheds here for ticket sales for Haunt or maybe a...... new bar!

Fun fact.... Above the Rivertown Larosa's was/is a full 1970's bedroom suite (allegely for Larosas full time team). with shag carpet and a full bathroom. It's seen better days, just used for storage now a days.

In 1992 these signs appeared in the Adventure Village area of the park. Would they really tease the new attraction with part of the alleged name in the wording? Perhaps "Swoop" was just the code name for the attraction at the time?

I came across these photos showcasing new Arrow Dynamics suspended coaster trains....... Whats interesting about these photos is the color scheme of the trains... clearly not the TOPGUN 1993 paint scheme. Were these the original "Swoop" paint colors and the ride was quickly rethemed to TOPGUN when Paramount purchased the park? @KIghostguy Do you have more information about this time period in KI History? Are these photos taken in a KI maintenance buildings or arrow factory?

Random question and thought.... 1999 Brings the new "Action Zone" land to Kings Island and is home to the new "Drop Zone Stunt Tower" and "Face/Off".... Amazon Falls is renamed "Congo" Falls, XS Raceway becomes "Days of Thunder" and TOPGUN is hanging out in the back corner. With a entire new "movie" based land why did that not continue with the 2003 installation of Delirium 5 years later? Nearly all of the Paramount additions had a movie tie in. (Minus Son of Beast) What Paramount movie of that time period would of made sense to theme a giant HUSS frisbee after? Do you like Delirium? Did it use to have a longer cycle when it opened? That is all...

Glad you had a great first experience at KD. I haven't seen many people talking about it... but all the International Street buildings received new authentic paint schemes, new murals, signage, and hid the night time LED bars with new trim. Huge improvement! A lot of love and time has been put into this park over the past 5 years, absolutely one of my favorites.

Why was this video created haha

The tan dome building to the left of the "WindSeeker Restrooms" .

So Long

The KD one is getting rethemed?
