    Skylab

    Skilab was alot of fun. Then they took the ride out for a pay for rock wall. Wish they just take all the pay for rides out and build some more falts in the areas. Kings Island would have two very big areas in Action Zone and two small ones in Coney Mall.
  2. Kings Island at one time in the 1970's to 1986 was call the Disney of the Midwest. Guess that all went down hill sometime with not that many good live shows.

    Next Ride To Go

    I don't think any coaster rides will be going soon. That could change if the park get sold. Just look out for a land in Kings Island to be gone in the coming years.
  4. Thats right everyones funny old man Mr. Six is back for another year of dance and fun. Here is a link to see where he was all winter. http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/sixflags/21387/
  5. Sure I will be in the contest. What is the theme?
  6. I don't think anything big will come to the convention center. Whats why all the sci-fi themes?

    PKI Book?

    If Paramount Parks let PKICentral make a DVD/VHS tape about the history of the park I would be more than happy to help out. Just a idea.
  9. The only reason I am dissapointed in the coaster cars is that they look like hot wheels. Well if they need to rename the ride they can call it Hot Wheel The Rde.
  10. Well if you have a gold pass you can visit the park for free and get a ride on the flyers so its not realy a loss for anyone.
  11. Not sure but I think they might plant some trees around so you can not see the ugly looking attraction. I also think that the cars are a very big disapointment. Just hope they are not small like SOB.
  12. I have clips but not on the computer.

    Next Ride To Go

    Wow the 3rd poll on the same topic. I vote we take out this poll.
  14. They no longer do that stunt show any more in Action Zone. It was good but they have to block off alot of space.
  15. I think Blackstone will end up with the park when its all done. They already owns half of two parks.
  16. I think everyone is looking right now at the different parks if they do got to action.
  17. "The group expressed its interest to Viacom earlier this year in an attempt to preempt an auction of Paramount Parks, which is expected within the next few months." "Besides the McGrath-led team, other potential buyers for the division include amusement park operators Cedar Fair, L.P. and Universal Parks, which is partly owned by NBC Universal and Blackstone Group, as well as other private equity firms. Six Flags and Busch Entertainment Corp., a subsidiary of brewer Anheuser-Busch, are also viewed as possible but less likely buyers."
  18. Back in the old days they had 4 trains of trams at night and morning. Kings Island lacks in is this area now days. As for the parking lot who knows.
  19. I used to have pictures of the tower going up at Kings Island. It was not much to look at other than alot of mudd and steel.
  20. You think they would theme the loading platform area of the coaster just alittle.

    Top Gun

    Top Gun: Supersonic Flying Tilt coaster looks good. I don't think PKI will see it. I do think its odd that Paramount Parks have made a 3d model of the coaster for PKD or the other Paramount Parks.
  22. I thought Kings Island was haunted by this post that keeps coming back from the dead.
  23. PKI already had a Flyer in the 90's and sold it to Six Flags Ohio at the time. So we could have had a Flyer where IJSC is today. The ride was never put in Kings Island but was made for Kings Island. The ride goes by Bat Flight.
  24. Who gives the Golden Tickets to the parts? Also who votes for them?
