  1. I still can't believe that any Kings Island management team allowed the opportunity of having an "in-house" lodging facility slip through their fingers. It must have lost a lot of money.
  2. There's been a few brochures that have been posted lately, so I thought I'd share the scans of my 1975 brochure...
  3. My wish list for a new ride would include something that looked like that upon entry to the queue of the ride...
  4. Today's pic is an awesome shot!
  5. Thanks for sharing...if I was a little closer, I'd go take a sneak peek at the park every once in awhile. I can't believe I'm asking this, but I have totally lost track...how long has it been since SoB operated?
  6. I like the classic sketching style of at postcard, kind of like from the opening year's guide...would be neat to see new attractions sketched like that.
  7. Great pic! There's a picture of a certain member in the gallery on the same ride, but a few years earlier!
  8. I can't believe that Diamondback is almost as old as Vortex was when I first rode it!
  9. It's a shame that, for many visitors (it seems), International Street is just something they run through to get to the rides.
  10. I really liked KC and hated to see it go. It was one of those rides that made Kings Island Kings Island, if you know what I mean.
  11. Wasn't VF included last year?
  12. Yeah, I can feel my feet coming off the floor! I'm really looking forward to a new season at KI...
  13. Thanks for posting those! I went through the Titanic exhibit, but didn't take any pics.
  14. I can only hope there's some major changes to some parts of CF's fall operations in the coming year(s).
  15. I love the pic of IS shops...I'd love to get some details about the places shown on the pics.
  16. Does your friend run a bulldozer, by any chance?
  17. My best memory of Vortex is seeing it for the first time in 1992...and not riding it until the next year. Took that long to work up my nerve! Luckily I have a photo keychain from that ride as a momento (in black and white, of course!).
  18. Was this always listed on KI's website? And what an ironic name... http://www.visitkingsisland.com/places-to-stay/area-campgrounds
  19. Wow, thanks for posting these...1999 was one of only a couple years I've missed in the last 20, so I didn't get to see construction. However, I did ride it in May of 2000! It looks so different to see King Cobra in the pics! Does anyone else think the footers resemble a cemetary?
  20. ...check the webcams during the off-season, including Christmas Day, just to see what Kings Island looks like on Christmas Day!
  21. I am sure I am in the extreme minority...I would prefer a ride on AE or Congo Falls over a ride on any flat at KI...and of all of the flat rides, VF and Zephyr are my favorites.
