  1. The landscaper of those bushes should have been so proud of his work!
  2. ^Thanks...I think you are right...it looks like it could be him...I didn't know that he had a Kings Island connection. I do know he has a Scooby Doo connection...maybe we could play 3 degrees of Kevin Bacon Kings Island.
  3. Paul, I agree, that is a GREAT photo...there's just SO much to look at. I do have a question...by the King Cobra there are two people standing there...one is Dick Van Dyke, who is the second one? Thanks again for the photos!
  4. The view from the Restaurant IS amazing...but (IMHO) to state that it is "the best view of the park" is not true for 2 reasons...A. You can only see International Street...and B. The view from The Eiffel Tower blows it away...especially if they still had the lower level observation deck open. As for my other 2 statements, I will bow to your first-hand knowledge back then...I will only say that I based my statement on the fact that I have NEVER had ANY mouth watering or reasonably priced food at ANY amusement park...Disney included.
  5. It's not too exciting...but it is something to look at during the off season. "...unusual women's apparel". Unfortunately with a description like that, in today's lower class/morals age, people would be expecting something completely different than they did back then. I miss the sail. "Lay down your voice to the music tracks of today's top tunes, and keep a cassette". (Mommy, what's a cassette?!) I never thought that I would have to tolerate The Smurfs a second time around! Rivertown sounds so much better back then. So which statement is the least believable..."mouth-watering food", "reasonably priced" or "best view of the park"? I like that shot of Amazon Falls. Have a great weekend!
  6. I am guessing that he has seen him in the Tosh.0 web redemption...and hopefully that is all.
  7. ^So why isn't Ron Jeremy on the park's Wall Of Fame?
  8. I like how "simple" this area looked back then...not nearly as cluttered as today.
  9. It looks like a publicity photo of sorts...is the lady someone I should know? (Sits here wondering what kind of response I might get from The Interpreter. )
  10. WOW! I love those construction photos! Thanks for the links!
  11. I wish I could say that I was at opening day!* *And yes Interpreter I know I can say it...I just wish I could say it and it would be true.
  12. Thrill_Biscuit, thanks for the entertainment!
  13. True...but I wonder if the kid holding the football is still sporting that mullet.
  14. Nice reference. (Trailer brake first, trailer brake first!))
  15. I remember having to count those baskets on top for a "Beast Buzz" scavenger hunt.
  16. I am resisting the urge to look at the link...I think I prefer to not know the behind the scenes stuff.
  17. That's a nice/interesting article about Scooby Zoom. I like the line "We worked hard to be able to give kids that first coaster experience with mom or dad". Thanks for the daily photos!
  18. Maybe it's just a case of whoever designing the website believing in the old "If you can't say anything nice..." saying. Don't kill the messenger, don't kill the messenger...
  19. ^Safe & sound and out of the weather...if he only knew what the cards held for his future.
  20. ^Back when I was a kid...when the world was still black & white.
  21. That's disheartening...does that mean that they really don't care about my partner's satisfaction?
  22. As I have mentioned in the past, I don't like going to the shows at the park...but with that said, you took some REALLY great pictures of them! P.S. I am sorry that you had a rough year...lets hope 2012 is a big improvement.
