With the park 35 years old now, I've wondered if an area of the park called something like "Old Kings Island" would go over. Have a cafe or something (a mild re-theme of Festhaus?) with old memoriabilia in it, historical signs, etc. Maybe bring back a new version of an original small flat ride. I think Oktoberfest would make a great area.

I bet it would...nostalgia always does well. The food would be better, thats for sure.

Wow that was cool to see how much the park has grown and how much Kings Island was trying to mix in the thrills and family fun.

It was all about theming. When you were in Rivertown, you really were in Rivertown. When you were in Oktoberfest, there really was a German Theme. Etc, Etc, Etc.

Looks like it was June 17, 1976

High Temperature that day was 82 degrees, winds of 4 mph...

Wow, is it the offseason, or what....

I have trouble adjusting to. :(

That old footage was great. I have a question.....was that the Bavarian Beetle that they were riding (looked kind of like a wild mouse ride)?

The Bat footage was great too. It would swing so far out, that was such a great ride.....when it was working. :(

Thanks for sharing! I didn't know that youtube had that stuff.
