I didnt think the yellow paint on the front car and back cars didn't appear till a few month's after that Friday night when SOB operated for a few hours, and then shut down for 15 days for repairs.

The Park opens On April 28th which is a Saturday!
-
Yep that was the exit to Vortex. It used to be an actual path, up until Action Theater opened in 1994. I remember waiting in very long lines like that to Vortex, it used to snake down to Skyline in Coney Mall.

My guess would be 1992. It looks to be anniversary banners up below international restruant!

This was a great tread. It was really interesting to see how much the park has changed since 1974. Thanks again!
-
I would take a guess and say the park will open on Saturday, April 28th 2012. And if the Crypt goes bye bye, I would say it's no big loss, the ride is horrible from what it used to be!

That slide was moved to HB land where it was chopped in half and it was named Scrappy's Slide.

I just relized that the restrooms over by Invertigo where there back in 1974 as well, I had always thought that were new at the time Invertigo opened. I know can see they were just remodled when Invertigo opened. Great Pic!

Awesome idea. Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve! It's amazing on how much the trees have gotten so much bigger in your first photo, it's like litterally watching the park grow right before your eyes!

They also do it to not confuse others trying to find Club Blood. Flight Deck's Entrance is changed during Haunt, we have to walk down the exit path and then cut over when you get down by the actual exit to Flight Deck!

An interesesting note to Torture Tower, we had to have a ride op on top of the tower where the haunt was, guarding the stairs, which the gate was unlocked incase of an emergency. The cool part about that, the ride op had to go thru makeup, and was used as part of the haunt.

Ugh Kings Island, not King's Island. Why does that irk me so bad?

Actually Dry Run Day, was not the same day as Season Pass Preview. Dry Run Day, and Season Pass Preview days, were two separtate days. Dry Run Day took place a week before the park open to the public, and we as employees recived tickets to give to our friends/family to enjoy this day. Park hours were like from 1pm till 5pm. Season Pass night, took place the Friday night before opening day from 5pm till 10pm.

I know SoB hasn't been touched since 2009. The Trains have been sitting on the ground next to the old loop area since the end of the season of 2009.

Sounds like to me they are waiting for an act of God, so they can claim the insurance money on it!
-
Uh, they are going to make them pay $5 dollars to go trick or treating this year at KI. I have a feeling this won't go over well!

Sorry Folks Park is Closed
PKIVortex replied to pkiboy's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
KD is only closed for today! Says the park will reopen tomorrow via kingsdominion.com. -
I understand that, but since your allowed to bring a friend to the park at a discounted price, and if you chose to get at the park early enough to partake in ERT, then your friends who you got into the park at a dscounted price should be premitted. I mean lets saySeason Pass holders A brought in Friends B, Does A go to ERT and Leave B waiting till the park opens at 10am? I wouldn't do that, I just think they should be allowed to have there friends join them for the ERT! I doubt they will be 100+ Season Pass holders bringing a friend with them!

However back in 2009 when I didn't have a plantium pass, a friend got me into Cedar Point for 19.99 and it allowed us to go in with them an hour early!
-
I think it's one friend per day! I called and asked though and your friend is not allowed to come into ERT though, which I feel isn't right!

I'm sorry,but this is LAME! -
It's not the fact that I hate the system, but I do not like how they assign seats on Flight of Fear, and The Beast.

Staffing issues maybe?

What KI coaster have you ridden the most times?
PKIVortex replied to mccarthysnerd's topic in KI Polls
I have no idea, probably Vortex or The Racer!
