I think it would be kinda nice to still have the Parking Rows still listed as the old name. The public is still going to call the rides the old names. I mean people did not call it Paramount's Kings Island. They just said Kings Island.

Here is a picture of me next to the Borg sphere. Also for anyone wanting to see the old logo for TOP GUN. If you want to use these pictures on your web-page please ask me first. As I still have them on my card for my digital camera.

I do like the start of the video showing both Racers forwards racing in red, white and blue. Does anyone know where I can find video of the Demon at Kings Island?

Sorry I read that wrong, but I talk to Shane and he said it was okay to share.

Where can I read or listen to all of the Q & A I just got home from work. Thank you

Didn't Thunder Road have some work on the turn around on the left side. I thought it was kinda odd Thunder Road forward side is the backwords side on The Racers at Kings Island. One thing I do miss is that last bunny hill on The Racers I was so glad Thunder Road still had it. When was the last time both sides of The Racers want Forwards?

Also be sure to check out Shane's pictures here is a link.

Okay I don't know alot The Beast with trim brakes, but back in the old days if the skid breaks got wet from rain you got a very fast and wild ride. One thing that bugs me is you used to be able to see the other train on the other lift from the first one now days that does not happen. Anyone know why?

Sorry to tell you but the statues of Yogi Bear and Fred Flintstone that used to be over by HBL are now rubble. I would love to see something of old Kings Island in that area of the park. Come on Cedar Fair we all know you can do it.

Shane over at TPR has let me post some pictures of The Bat. Please be sure to check out his pictures. Yes that's a Bat car testing out a corkscrew. The Bat was going to have two corkscrews as you can see in this map of the first lay out of the ride. But Arrow did not have any luck with the corkscrews thats why it did not make its way to Kings Island.

Yeah they already have the Tomb Stones made.

Wow I don't think of great new things see the names picked out for this year. If Cedar Fair can bring us a better Kings Island start with the names and less trash cans please. Guess I have been to many different parks out their and I am starting to see Cedar Fair and Six Flags are about the same now days.

I also got stuck on Gemini for the same thing just took 30 minutes, also got stuck on Storm Runner for 40 minutes so they could get the coaster to lauch we had to sit on the lauch track tell they powered it off. Well after they pushed the car back I got to sit in the front when they got it back up.

I don't know I kinda like just sitting down in that area of the park over looking the lake. Its one of the last quiet places in the park left with trees. That or I just ride the train after eatting something to slow down.

Kings Island: Yes we have lame ride names!

I just got a Pass port on Monday so it will come in time for my trip. Thank you all for the help. Andy

Is a 12 year old playing Rollercoaster tycoon coming up with these names? Drop Tower come on we can do better than that Cedar Fair.

So whats Congo Falls going to be called? I just hope Kings Island brings back the old name Amazon Falls. If the ride is named Drop falls or Hawk Falls I think they need to fire the people that are thinking of the new names.

Thank you all for the help I post a trip report when I get back this summer. Also I am going to Cedar Point on the way back. After this summer I will only have two of the old Paramount parks left. Also Wonderland still has Hanna-Barbera Land.

The guy that has posted the video also has posted alot of pictures of The Bat at TPR. I don't know if we have it that good now days the park does not look that great if you have seen the video. Just seems like the park was more themed in the past then now with put a ride any where.

Kings Island: Nothing to see keep moving. Kings Island: It's Play time!

Well or that park will keep us in the dark about anything like they are doing now. I know why this was done just a shame it had to be done.

I will be going to Canada's Wonderland this year and want to know if you can get the whole park done in one or two days. I have a season pass with free parking already. Also how much is the food up their is it about the same as Kings Island?

Where the lions around the TOP GUN area when the coaster first opened?

I just hope the Entertainment is better than the new ride names.
