coaster_junky Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 december 2, 1992: the year paramount bought the park, and i'm guessing when they started construction of top gun/flight deck ninja and Vortex opened too Quote
KYCavsFan Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 1980. Nothing I guess. Beast was in 1979 and The Bat came in 1981. Quote
Diamondback96 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I predate KI by several years. Then what was opened in CI the year you were born? I was born in '96, so FoF. And all of these were built in 1996. Quote
HTCO Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 1994: Days of Thunder* opens, an exciting new NASCAR racing simulator is added in a previously undeveloped area between the turnaround points of The Racer tracks. Later in 1998 Days of Thunder would be changed to the Paramount Action FX Theater with several movies showing there. The Wild Animal Habitat theme area is renamed Adventure Village. Sunshine Turnpike and The Scrappy Slide are removed at end of the season http://www.KICentral.com/history/timeline.php Quote
mtl2013 Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 In 1994, Days of thungder, a NASCAR simulator, was put into the then undeveloped land near the turnaround point of The Racer Quote

KI Kevin Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I already said this but Flight of Fear. More new rides in '96 include Mantis, Montu, and Highroller. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 High Roller that was at Stratosphere, not the one at Valleyfair, which still exists, sort of. Not this one, either, also gone: http://www.rcdb.com/ig2404.htm?picture=1 Terpy, who suddenly feels very, very old... Quote

Not this one, either, also gone: http://www.rcdb.com/ig2404.htm?picture=1 Terpy, who suddenly feels very, very old... Precisely. I was there when I was just a wee little boy of maybe 3, and barely even remember it, but I did not ride it. Over spring break this year however, I rode all 3 of the remaining rides. Good, good stuff. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Well, I guess I will just have to be satisfied with having ridden two of those three High Rollers...as I doubt we will ever see that last one again! Quote
Jason B Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 1973 - The Flying Dutchman, the Bayern Kerve, and Kenton`s Cove Keelboat Canal (All of which are now closed). Quote
KIlover123 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Days of thunder,(never got to ride) and Hoosier Hurricane at Indiana Beach, and i love HH Quote
KI Kevin Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Well, I guess I will just have to be satisfied with having ridden two of those three High Rollers...as I doubt we will ever see that last one again! Judging by what my sister and dad said, the only good part was the view. Other than that it wasn't that fun. You could just run around the observation tower for the same effect. However, the other 3 rides are probably the coolest rides I have ever ridden. If you are in Vegas, DO NOT PASS THESE RIDES UP!!!! Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Uh, I rode High Roller in Las Vegas. The one I didn't ride was this one: http://www.rcdb.com/ig2404.htm?picture=1 Quote

I must be getting tired and missed something....and by the way that high roller that you didn't ride didn't seem to be all that high at all. Quote
IslandAddict Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I was born on Febuary 29, 1996. Somehow. Fifteen minutes before March 1. I'm three if you want to be technical. Anyway, the Outer Limits: Flight of Fear was opened in 1996. OMFG!!1111 LIMZ FTWZ!!!22312!!111 Quote
