Vortex Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 This is just a idea I thought of the other day while I was looking at my Yahoo Group History of Kings Island. I do not run this site. I have been looking at other parks fan sites and they have a past rides area that show pictures and tell where this ride was in the park and when it was taken out if they have the information. Do you think this would be good for this site or not? again I don't run this site just thought I ask before I tried to make a page or asked for help. Quote
TheKlockster Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 I think its a good idea. I would like to see some of the old rides, like Zodiac and Demon and Bayern Curve that came before my time. Ive looked them up on google, but its kind of a pain in the butt, and the pictures are like 150X200 pixels in size, so you cant really tell what it is. So I say, a old ride section would be great! Be sure and include the Flyers! Quote

KIBeast Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Nice history pics. I've seen them before in their technicolor greatness. BTW, that is not a picture of the Bayern Curve at PKI. Looks to be a similar ride though. Bayern Curve had an international theme to it and all the cars had different flags of the world on them. The cars were a little more streamlined too. How do I know? I rode it several times. Quote

I mean put then under the ride name not under different peoples names. Such as the Monorail picture would all be under Monorail and so on. Something like this http://www.schmidty.com/vmhistory/history/...chwabinchen.asp Quote
TheKlockster Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Yeah, the way those history pics are listed under contributor is confusing. I think it would be cool to have them listed just like the current rides are, and to click on them and view the pictures. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 I agree with all of you. We'll come up with something better. Quote
Knoxville Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 I agree it's a great idea but it is so hard to find out information about old rides. That is probibly why Dane didn't do it that way. Quote
Dan Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 Or maybe he's just a lazy ass. Yeah, I think that's it. Quote
Dane Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 Well I am lazy, but it is very difficult to find information. Quote
Pirate of PKI Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 I think that's a great idea, but yeah, it's hard to get old info and espcially phots. Quote
