  1. 1. Classic Wooden Coaster 2. It would be a maybe on the Eiffel Tower, because it does ge cold up there. 3. I was born in 96 and every year since then I have been going. 4.Phantom Theater and Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle were ver close, but I have to pick Scooby Doo, because its my favorite cartoon, and I own all the movies on DVD, but I still miss the Phantom Theater. Great poll, keep 'em coming.
  2. I was looking at random amusement park videos, and I had come across a video called Kings Dominion History recording pre 92 part 1 (Could somebody please post it on here because im on mobile and I dont know how to post video links while I am on mobile). I think that this was supposed to be a video made by Kings Dominion to show guests a little preview about the park. But if you watch to the 3:00 minute mark, then you can hear Yogi Bear says to join him at Kings Island. Was this an actual video made for the park, and if it was, then why does it mention Kings Island, when its promoting Kings Dominion?
  3. Yeah I notice the American Flag as you walk in the tunnel towards the ride, and as you are exting the ride, going towards the tunnel, you can see the faded stars above.
  4. The Soak City revamp, was awesome. Never really cared for the Firehawk, but I love Diamondback.
  5. I don't recall a mouse chasing a cat from Phantom Theater but I do remember the one that popped up from behind a chest or something. That one is used as a prop in the Mouse Trap scene in the Board to Death maze at Halloween Haunt. You could be right, its been so long ago, my mind is a bit fuzzy.
  6. When I was little I used to love the Phantom Theater, but the giant mouse chasing the small cat scared me, I would cover my eyes until the next scene. I've watched Phantom Theater videos all the time on YouTube but I cant find the mouse seen, the reason being that the ride was too dark, much darker then Boo Blasters is currently. I am however thinking that the giant mouse chasing the small cat, is the same scene in when it was Scooby Doo and Shaggy was getting chased by a WereWolf, and what we all know today as a random tourist getting chased by skeletons. AnketÄ… the giant mouse would be an excellent prop for Halloween Haunt. Also I have a random question, did anybody see the old vulture from the old Beastie sign last Halloween Haunt next to the fence by the train in RiverTown? I wanted to take a picture of it so badly but I didnt have my phone, I really wanted to post it on here. I also saw the old Elroy Spaceship ride remiama next to the Eiffel Tower, I rode that ride when I was little, I used to ride that as soon as I got done riding Phantom Theater, then I went on to ride the Top Cat Coaster. I love reliving memories!
  7. I don't know if anybody has seen this or not but there is a rare commercial for Phantom Theater on YouTube just type Phantom Theater Advertisement Video 1992. Awesome video, the style of the commercial reminds me of another commercial I saw on YouTube that Kings Island made it was a commercial for the original Bat, which was also great.
  8. Welcome to KIC, I hope have a thrilling experience here.
  9. When you see the countdown clock on the homepage of KICentral.com
  10. http://www.businessinsider.com/chinas-abandoned-wonderland-photos-2013-5 AdamTheWoo also visited here too, it was a pretty good video, you can find it on YouTube, or AdamtheWoo.com.
  11. There is a really good video of it when AdamTheWoo visits it if you search it on YouTube.
  12. http://www.crystalbelldesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Castles01.jpg The theme park that could of been.
  13. My music is definitly not todays music, I am mainly 60s Oldies, Beach Boys are my favorite for that decade. Though it might be way before my time, I enjoy them way better than the music I listen to on the radio. I am also a fan of KISS, which is my favorite band from the 70s, also Grand Funk Railroad. I was born in the 90s, and I have to agree that music back then was better than music now, well at least in my opinion.
  14. I love to see any footage of Kings Island, thank you!
  15. I have many Boo Blaster Glasses from previous years, if the ride ever does get removed, will they be considered Kings Island collectibles?
  16. If you look closely at the rafts of White Water Canyon, some of the Rafts still have the old Paramounts Kings Island logo on it, this is because the new logo has begun to peel off revealing the old Paramount logo. I noticed this while waiting in line, I wonder if anybody else has noticed this.
  17. As for myself I liked Scooby Doo and The Haunted Castle, not as much as I liked the Phantom Theater, but I thought it went quite well with Hanna-Barbera Land, I think it was a great ride addition and because I am a big Scooby Doo fan myself. But I never really understood the concept of Boo Blasters, so the ideas above would really better the ride for right now, until a new ride replaces it, and as I have said on here before a ride sequel would be a great idea, Kings Island brought back The Bat, it wouldnt suprise me if they brought back the Phantom Theater too.
  18. http://kifansite.com/files/2013/01/opening-spring-1972-580x300.jpg This is the only picture I have seen that has something to do with something king related, as you notice the crown above. I'm not quite sure that a king would fit in Kings Island now, unless of course a new area was themed, then I would be all in for it. Next topic, we discuss the relocation of Kings Island to an actual island.
  19. I like the idea of something else to be put right there, I think I have mentioned that before on here, that is a good idea, I would also like the fountain to be working once again, or possibly a flat ride could go there.
  20. I'm going to try to make it opening day, I just hope it's not as packed as last year, hopefully I'll be there, but until then I'll just keep watching YouTube videos, and pretend I'm at Kings Island.
  21. The 1979 map because it's the year of The Beast. I would also have to say the late 90s Paramounts Kings Islands maps are my favorite too.
  22. When the parking lot is empty at 2 in the afternoon.
  23. I had come across this article that mentions Kings Island which is pretty interesting, I dont know if this has been posted already or if anybody has read it yet. http://www.underdogdynasty.com/conference-usa/2015/1/5/7475865/a-conversation-with-ralph-carey-the-man-behind-wkus-legendary-mascot
  24. Six Flags New Orleans, I have always wondered if something will ever happen to it, I would like to see it up and running, but im sure that would take a LOT of work and money.
  25. I noticed that too as I was walking around the park, speaking of A Nightmare on Elm Street, the remake was alright but nobody can replace Robert Englund.
