Thank you for sharing your trip report as well as the photos. I'd love to visit KD someday, but I think my brain might melt after going to Kings Island all of these years!

I would love to see any of the shops from the first couple years Kings Island was open. I was actually there, but was too little to remember. There seems to be virtually no pictures out there from the inside of the shops back then.

I knew I went to a PP night a few years ago, and just found the pics...April 15, 2016...a few shots from that evening:

I had the day off and wanted to go to PP day, but when I saw the forecast, I knew it would be insanely packed. I'm happy for Kings Island, but going to wait a little while for my first visit. I appreciated everyone that posted updates/pics of some of the new changes.

I didn't start going to Kings Island regularly until I was in college (early 90s). I was (and still am) so impressed with the people that worked there. I thought they seemed so "with it" and sophisticated. When I grow up, I want to work at Kings Island.

For many years, it was always RT LaRosa's. Then I switched to Coney BBQ, then Brewhouse the last few seasons.

I've always had a soft spot for the one in Rivertown.

I remember when they still sold Encyclopedia Brittannicas in the park. I can't remember how it worked, though. Certainly people didn't haul an entire set of encyclopedias home from their visit to Kings Island. Or did they?

The videos are working for me, but don't see any sign of lights/electricity.

Is anything that you guys are talking about visible in this picture? This is from July 1994.

In honor of my 20th anniversary of being on KIC, I'm going to share some graphs from my super nerdy Kings Island trip spreadsheet I created. 64 lifetime trips and counting. Thank you all for all the fun over the years!

@Platinum BassThank you for doing all that work! I am totally fascinated by seeing the land before Kings Island was built!

That makes my heart speed up just reading that! Was a very cool experience.
