List your top five things you'd like to see come back or change about KI

1. Water under The Beast wainting line

2. Antique cars

3. Covered tunnel that you could walk through that connected HB Land and River Town

4. Topical Smoothie booth

5. King Cobra

6. Separate entrance for Season Pass holders

7. Better props and scenes for the train ride

1. Whatever they used to do during the train ride. I don't remember much of it since I was only a kid at the time.

2. Antique Cars

3. Trams

4. Sunshine Turnpike

5. Cheaper food prices, lol.

The top 5 things that I'd like to bring back/change are:

1. The beverage prices of water, soda, beer, etc. - I'd change them back to the 1972 prices.

2. Phantom Theater - I'd take SDATHC out and bring back the Phantom Theater with more animatronics and make it

scarier.

3. Graveyard Shift - It was the most awesome musical I ever saw at the park and was only there for one season, I think

that it was 2003. I'd bring it back.

4. The food prices - I'd bring them back to 1982 prices.

5. I'd change the name of Congo Falls back to Amazon Falls and the name of Wings Diner into Rivertown Diner. Both are

Paramount movie names and should've been changed this season.

Best regards,

Italian Chef

I totally agree about Amazon Falls! I still call it Amazon Falls!?!?! I can't bring myself to call it Congo Falls

The Food is too expensive! Ok, who in their right mind would pay $3.50 for a 20 OZ Coke from a vending machine?!!?!? OMG!

Also, remember when you used to be able to carry around alcoholic drinks in open containers!?!?! Probably before the drunk woman fell out of flight comander and died.

At one point in time, there did use to be a separate entrance to the park for pass holders. That "tunnel" over by the Kings Island Theater, the Season Pass Processing Center and ticket booths used to be the season pass entrance. They used that entrance several years ago for the Gold Pass early ride times as well as special event entrance to the park.

There was one there too...... The one by The Beast was where the privacy fence by TC now stands. But I do remember the one by WWC too...... Apparently sticking gum on trees was quite a fad in years gone by......

1) The Flying Scooters-originally from CI ca.1920's...

Kings Island's Flying Scooters, known as the Flying Eagles, did come from Coney Island of Ohio. A ten tub Bisch Rocco set of Flying Skooters, they were produced in 1935. Various sources indicate they were installed in either 1935, 1936 or even 1940. See, for instance, the year 1940 here:

http://coneyisland.KICentral.com/timeline.php

The Carowinds website says 1935:

In any event, they certainly were not there in the 1920's...

And are sadly missed now....
