DeLorean Rider Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Actually the most comprehensive search is preformed by searching: "Kings Island" (with quotations), that way only the posts with the word "island" directly after the word "kings" shows up.

TombRaiderFTW Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I realize this is a pretty huge bump, but given that this is the closest thing this site has to a general "interesting eBay items" thread... Have you guys seen the Kings Island Wurlitzer organ record that's on eBay? http://www.ebay.com/itm/QUEEN-OF-KINGS-ISLAND-Volume-1-LP-Wurlitzer-Duplex-Orchestral-Organ-Style-157-NJ-/370688555240?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item564ec278e8 Its Buy It Now price is $7.50. I don't personally have that much of an attraction to it outside of novelty (and don't have a record player), but I figure someone here might be interested. Just thought I'd pass it along! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Would that it still played organically at the island. Perhaps the peninsula. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 My alarm clock is also a working CD player, though it hasn't been used for that in a while. I also have a combination turntable and tape player buried in the living room, but I don't know if it still works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Well, I collect vinyl, and I, like so many of us here, am a die-hard Kings Island enthusiast. It fit in with two of my biggest hobbies, and when will I have another opportunity to combine my love for records with my love for Kings Island.Plus, I've never been to Kings Island while the Queen was functional. It will be refreshing to hear her music for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may possibly be right, I know there is still that vinyl niche out there...but my theory is that the number of people over the age of 40 who decide on a daily basis that it is time to finally pack up their old turntable outweighs the younger generation who are out there buying them.

How I do miss that thing - it was the "heart" of the Grand Carousel, at least to me. The ride isn't at ALL the same without the genuine band organ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I see them at rummage sales and auctions fairly often.) They are actually correct on this point. To my knowledge there are only 3 remaining vinyl record press companies in the United States, all of which have seen increased sales over the last 5 to 7 years - if you can believe that. And at least one of those companies had plans to retire until this spike in new recordings emerged! An old but relevant article: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1702369,00.html In any case, in regard to the Kings Island album make sure you also get volume 2 to complete the set http://www.ebay.com/itm/QUEEN-OF-KINGS-ISLAND-Volume-2-LP-Wurlitzer-Duplex-Orchestral-Organ-Style-157-NJ-/290807065763?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item43b573aca3&nma=true&si=OFDgtJ8XlAKNRFRYZ%2FL8v7oOWFE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 ~Josh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Just a little update - I have the Queen of Kings Island record now and I still intend to digitize and upload it so I can share it here, but it'll have to wait until January or so. The equipment I need is at school and I'm on Christmas break. But just know that I do plan to share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
