Week XV: Best Character/Theme Era at Kings Island
I miss the Paramount days at Kings Island, it was just great time filled movie based rides and attractions. The current Cedar Fair days are pretty intense, with new rollercoasters, great food selections, and one wicked water park. These days may be good, but i'm excited what the future Kings Island has in store for us. I've been a Kings Island fan since birth.

Amusement Park Time Machine
If you could go back in time to any amusement parks and pick 5 former rides or attractions what would you pick? Please include both ride and park 1. Nickelodeon Studios (Universal Studios Orlando) 2. King Cobra ( Kings Island) (I was too little to ride it, but it looked intense!) 3. Sounds Dangerous! Starring Drew Carrey (Epcot, DisneyWorld) 4. Phantom Theater (Kings Island) 5. Scooby Doo and the Spooky Swamp ( Six Flags, St. Louis) (My family was planning a there last year but we ended up going to The Mall of America, if I would of known it was the last year of operation for the ride, then I would of convinced my parents to go there instead.)

I dont see The Racer going anywhere anytime soon, but if it was removed, I wonder what the Brady Bunch would say.....

Boo Blasters on Boo Hill TLC
That may be true, but if that did happen, then it would be very cool, and make Kings Island more uniqe.

Kings Island Random Off-season Poll!
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.

Yogi Bear thinks hes at Kings Island, when he actually is at Kings Dominion.
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?

Remnants of past attractions
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.

Week IV: Best Cedar Fair (Owned) Kings Island Addition
The Soak City revamp, was awesome. Never really cared for the Firehawk, but I love Diamondback.

Boo Blasters on Boo Hill TLC
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.

Boo Blasters on Boo Hill TLC
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. Anketą 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!

The Phantom Theater
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.

Week XIII: Your Music Genre
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.

Boo Blasters on Boo Hill TLC
I have many Boo Blaster Glasses from previous years, if the ride ever does get removed, will they be considered Kings Island collectibles?

Remnants of past attractions
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.

Boo Blasters on Boo Hill TLC
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.
