Stitch Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 I personally think that PKI should make something that shows all of their past rides and has pics and specs on them. Maybe a PKI musem of some sort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Why, some of their past rides were crap, like The Bat. it was down one day for every two days it ran, because of mechanical problems and unbanked turns. I think the past is important, but not this important. Paramount keeps some of their past inside The Paramount Story, but the place is kinda junked up, and I never see anyone in there, so why waste the space and the money?

Stitch Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 That gave me an idea since the Paramount story is crap make a King's Island Story instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI_Man Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Yeah they should put a musem for the past rides that have been there instead of leaving the ride out of history of Kings Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted December 2, 2002 Author Share Posted December 2, 2002 I would be cool, have the old King Cobra Videos, comercials, and maybe a car to stand in. You could do it with all the old rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 This has been mentioned in previous Threads about making a history of PKI which people seem to like, instead of that Paramount Story crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted December 2, 2002 Author Share Posted December 2, 2002 Really,hmm, no matter, I mean wouldn't you like to see the old videos for The Bat and such like the park in the 70s 80s and 90s? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingog34 Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 I would definitely visit a museum of Kings Island, as long as they don't make it like a dumb ride. Has anyone been on the History of Flight at Disney World? That was terrible. Make it a walk-through, replacing the Paramount Story. Kings Island is a part of my past, although I don't remember it well. Bring back the snail from EV, some smurfs, and a log from the old log flumes and I'll be happy. (Oh, don't forget Maestro!)

adam12 Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 I like the sound of that! That would be a GREAT IDEA! I will tell you one thing, I would spend as much time in that area as it took to read and understand the history of the park! I guess I am just obsessed with history of places like Kings Island. -adam12 -Last post by "adam12" was on 12-24-2002 at 9:21PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 The park would seriously have to make it more interesting, in order for it to work. The same stuff has been in the Paramount Story what seems like forever, and it always looks dirty, and wastes lots of space. I never see anyone in there, so a change to that area, is welcome in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stitch Posted December 28, 2002 Author Share Posted December 28, 2002 If only Jeff Seibert Or David Mandt Would read this post, not saying that it would have any effect but it couldn't hurt. I think that the number of guests would be high to the KI musem because it has been such an important part of many peoples past and it would constantly get updated (IE... As time passes more history) I personaly wish to see the Paramount Story Removed and the musem established. If you agree with me please post your feelings!

Stitch Posted December 29, 2002 Author Share Posted December 29, 2002 I personally think that the indoors idea is a little excessive because a building in that spot would look to crowded. But hey no biggie it would give you heat or cool air ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 They could put it someplace else, and tear out the Paramount Story altogether, which would be fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted December 30, 2002 Author Share Posted December 30, 2002 Not a bad idea at all, but what would be another good location for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 I personally think they should make their own version of a "Hard Rock Cafe". They should re-do Wings with old photos & maps from Kings Island's past. (I don't think 99% of the visitors have a clue that Wings is even a real movie.)

Stitch Posted December 30, 2002 Author Share Posted December 30, 2002 WOW what a great idea, but they might have to make it a little bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam12 Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 That Hard Rock Cafe is a GREAT IDEA!!! That is so good I think it should be sent to one of the people at PKI!!! If nothing else it would be an Idea for them to throw around. Also send it to the Hard Rock people and see what they think, getting them on our side would help alot! I never even thought about that, that is a REALLY good idea. -adam12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Hard Rock is teamed with Universal, they most likely wouldn't go into PKI. Plus Kings Island had a sit down restuarant at one time, is it there anymore, nope. Ain't going to happen, at least not in the near future. From rumors this summer, Wings IS being redone during the winter to a new theme or design along with a few of the other food places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I didn't LITERALLY mean a "Hard Rock Cafe"...I just meant a resteraunt with memorabilia hanging above the booths/walls. It would not be any different from the current Wings style resteraunt...it would just be Kings Island themed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingog34 Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I doubt that they would do anything too too drastic with Wings...it's never very busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam12 Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Is the International restaurant still open? -adam12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 No, the international restuarant is not open. It is still used however for company picnics or private parties. If you were to bring a group to KI and get the group picnic in the picnic grove you can opt to have it in the International Restuarant if your group is small enough. Also, if you have a gold season pass you may get invited to have dinner up there during the 4th of July fireworks like we hosted last year. (I snuck out and went on the roof for pictures) Last time I heard Wings was being 'rethemed' like I said earlier. Nothing too drastic just a theme change. At one time it wasn't called Wings Dinner. Before Paramount it was Columbia Palace, so it might just be time for a change again. The other restuarant you may see 'rethemed' is Oktoberfest Gardens right by Adventure Express and the Slingshot. I don't know what it will be but I just heard that they wanted to make changes and possibly change their menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 Well back to the topic, what things would you personally like to see in the PKI musem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Maestro would be nice in the museum, since he is is no longer with us. Alos, they oculd build the museum right next to the current stage where the dolphin stadium and stuff used to be, or they coudl turn the bleak insides of Festhaus into the museum, a museum part, as well as a Food part giving the best of both worlds, since nothing else important is in festhaus right now.
