Oh yeah, how could I forget The Fun and Only! So cheesy, I love it. And I've read online that their original slogan was "C'mon, Get Happy." I'd like to learn some more of those older ones.

Any one want to help jog my memory on marketing slogans KI has used throughout the years? I'm trying to make a list of all the slogans I can remember. So far I have: Where Thrills Connect Where Else, Nowhere Just 20 "smiles" North of Cincinnati ...all from (very) recent memory, of course. Anyone have some more to add?

Thanks!! Man, amazing all the stuff they took out. You think they could've at least kept the teepees and wagons and stuff. It would be lovely to get some higher quality video though... You think in all their years of owning the park Taft would've filmed some of the train for promotional purposes. Thanks a bundle though, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Hey guys! I'm a child of the 90s so I always feel like I missed out on the glory days of the Kings Island & Miami Valley Railroad. To this day you can't ride the train without having someone talk about how much better it was in the 70s, when actors playing cowboys and Indians would battle and even board the train. Supposedly, there was also some more theming that has been removed from the ride over the years, such as some animatronics in the area of the wild west town that were apparently removed sometime in the 80s. Thing is, I've hunted around online and I've never really been able to find footage of this mysterious, nebulous live action show. I know personal camcorders weren't exactly popular in the 70s, but I imagine there has to be some video of the cowboys vs. Indians show floating around there somewhere, if it really was as integral a part of the Kings Island experience as everyone says it was. Really, though, I just love the train, and would love to see footage of it during any part of its storied 40+ year history. Seems like looking up "Kings Island and Miami Valley Railroad" on Youtube only gets you personal videos from recent trips, never anything older than say 5 years. Can anyone recommend me some good vintage footage of the train in days long past?
