I would like to ride bumper cars that go that fast. They should have left them that fast and just posted a warning! LOL! That would have been fun. -adam12

Same here! I really need a vacation! The whole point of Winter Fest was to celebrate the holidays and have a little fun. It should be cold at an event like that, it just puts you in the mood for the holiday season! -adam12

The fountain is only second to The Beast! The Eifal Tower, the fountain and The Beast is what Kings Island is all about in my book. -adam12

I hope it comes back up soon! -adam12

That is interesting, neither did I. -adam12

I would rather them bring back Winter Fest than extend Fear Fest. -adam12

I sure would have liked to seen that! If I ever loose my job I think I will apply at PKI! I would like to own an amusement park one day. -adam12

He sounds like a neat person to meet and to work with. I would like to do what he does some day! -adam12

Why did they take down the web cam? -adam12

That is good to hear! The fountain was in terrable shape, compared to 10 years ago. 1992 was the last time I had been to PKI before last Fall. -adam12

Did that Theater 180 cost any money besides park admission? -adam12

I saw the pictures about a month ago and they were not worth the time it took to post them! -adam12

I do not think the Son of Beast is a true wooden roller coster because of the steel loop. So there for I vote for The Beast! You just can't get that old time wooden roller coaster ride with Son of Beast the ride it just TOO smooth! -adam12

WOW! I am impressed. Thank your for that info! Shaggy, you should play a big part in planning the musuam for Kings Islands history. I just do not know what else to say, you just flat know your history of Kings Island! -adam12

I do not care what anyone says, The Beast will always be the BEST ride in history. I guess it is the history behind it that fasinates me. There is no match for the kind of ride you get with The Beast! The Beast is also the last roller coster I got to ride with my dad before he died in Sept. 1999. -adam12

Sounds cool, please remind everyone when the time comes for it to be on TV! I would like to see it. -adam12

Yea, one would hope! But Viacom probably owns the insurance company as well as PKI, so it would not do them any good! LOL, just kidding. -adam12

But can anyone conferm that Kings Island had that ride at one time? -adam12

You all could not be more right! I agree 100%. -adam12

I am sure they are going to turn that $500,00.00 into insurance. That will not cost them a dime! Don't let them fool you, they probably took the money and put it in something else. It would not surprise me if they did not replace that train and take out Top Gun at the end of the 2003 season. They Ran it with one train for a long time and could do it for the whole 2003 seaon! I would be shocked but not suprised! -adam12

There was one ride they had back in the early 70's that I saw on the Brady Bunch, (when they filmed an episode there). It was red and kinda looked like a big round basket that spun around, and there was nothing but the G force holding you in. It was cool looking! My dad said he rode it but did not remeber the name of it. He also said you could spit when it was going a round and you could see it fly to the right and land on another person. I would guess that is why they took it out. This is driveing me nuts, I would have liked to ride it! They always take out the cool rides. -adam12

The same thing happend to "Sky Lab" as happend to "Flight Commander" some one had a little too much to drink and decided that they were going to get off of the ride while it was running. In both cases people were thrown from the ride. I will never forget that! I never rode "Sky Lab" or "Flight Commander" for that reason. -adam12

Are you talking about Sky Lab? -adam12

WOW, I can see why they would take that kind of ride out. I bet the insurance was outrageous. That would have been one ride I probably would have not gotten on. -adam12

Does anyone remeber what the canoes were like? I never got to ride them. Were they on a track? did they go down a little stream? OR did you just ride them around in a little pond? -adam12
