italianchef Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 1. That tree with all the gum stuck on it outside of The Beast. 2. King Cobra 3. Sky Ride 4. The Air Show 5. And, of course, Bavarian Beetle..LOL!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

CoastersRZ Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 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: http://www.carowinds.com/attractions/detail.cfm?ai_id=293 In any event, they certainly were not there in the 1920's... And are sadly missed now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
