That is extremely cool! I watched this episode so many times (in syndication) as a kid...probably another reason why I like Kings Island so well.

What building are they standing in front of at the end (you can also see part of The Scooby Doo)?

If you look at a 1972 brochure of KI, there were sponsors for everything....

Thanks for posting that. I find that really interesting. Reminds me of a book I read about Disney World and where it could have ended up...

For a couple weeks at Christmas time I wish they'd open the shops, Starbucks, and maybe fire up the "Starlight" lights at night...no big deal, just have International Street open. They could charge $5 to park, sell pics with Santa, etc. to help make it profitable.

I would like to see a relaxing, low-to-the-ground ride that would take you through the woods. Kind of a combination of The Beast, KCKC, AE, the train, and DA. Nothing real fast, and would give a longer ride, like The Beast.

Holy cow, every time I've taken a look at the webcams today, there has been a line for Dinosaurs Alive! Park looks extremely packed. I went on a Labor Day about 7 years ago, and it was totally nuts.

....which is better than taking a toll on your skull, which I think is the idea behind that design.

Wow, a Soak City construction tour sure would be fun! (hint, hint)

In my experience, the crowds can be a little lighter early in October. However, normally, on a Saturday, it goes from crowded to insanely crowded by nighttime when the fog really starts to flow.

Are we talking about the racing slides that are already in the water park? I hope they're not removing them!

I always like when they're used to be cars around the park...I'll actually like seeing that again.

I just bought one over the summer to wear to the park...nice shirt.

I was on there the other day, and thought it was a format that I hadn't noticed before.

Kind of funny. I rode the "lazy river" for the first time ever this summer (just never took the time to do it before) and loved it; and I thought that the wave pool was too packed, and that the water park needed expanded...

I have to say that WindSeeker in operation provides quite a striking visual. I have yet to ride it, but during my few visits to KI this summer, I have been pretty surprised at how interesting it is to watch, especially when it reaches the top. It almost doesn't look real, almost like a CGI movie...

Oh yeah, the freezing weather goes without mentioning... I still would like to see KI to a very low key winter/holiday event...just open the shops, starbucks, maybe put a show in Festhaus...nothing extravagant, just a way to visit the park during the offseason.

Does anyone else dislike the fact that the park is now closed? Even though I wouldn't necessarily visit today, for some reason, I always like it when I know Kings Island is open. This is the first day it's been closed since mid-May. Kind of a bummer...

Darn, I thought this was a thread about putting a coaster on International Street.

It's a shame how underrated the landscaping/views are at Kings Island. You hear so much about the rides, but I don't think most people realize it's worth a trip to walk through even if you aren't a ride person.

I haven't been to the park on a Sunday in years. The weather forecast looked great, so I took off for the day. It was a great day to be at the park. Things started to get crowded by early afternoon, but by then, I had ridden Beast, BLSC, Vortex, FoF, Racer, Flight Deck, VF, and Flying Ace Aerial Chase (fun ride!), and had lunch. This will most likely be my last "regular season" trip the park, but who knows...

It's been discussed on here about how bad Cedar Fair wanted Kings Island. Could we begin to see the results of that in the near future?

I visited the park last Sunday, and had a great time (I'm going to post a PTR soon). I just want to remind everybody that is thinking that summer is over...it's not!! Kings Island is still open, the weather is great and get to the park if you can!! Just think what you would give for a day like now come January or February!

I have never been to CP to ride Maverick. From what I gather, it doesn't sound like anything at KI. If that's the case, that's at the top of my wish list for Kings Island.
