Oldiesmann Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ok... For those familiar with older KI rides, what ride is shown starting about 15 seconds into the video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsUp Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ok... For those familiar with older KI rides, what ride is shown starting about 15 seconds into the video? The Flying Dutchman..you sat in 'wooden shoes' and spun around. It was in the Octoberfest area which used to be much bigger. This is a great footage..The Bat looks pretty sweet..I imagine it was quite the thing in its day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the exact same ride that was at Kings Island. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 While it's good to see that it's still operational, does anyone know why it was removed and sold in the first place? Wikipedia and flatrides.com both say that the ride lasted until sometime in 1992, but RCDB says AE opened in 1991, so it couldn't have been removed for AE.

goofywdw Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 My mom's favorite ride at KI when she was little was the Flying Dutchman. We went to KK this past fall and she rode that ride there. I just told her that they were the same ride and she got so excited. I didn't know that. Good find with the video. I love watching The Bat. It looks so out of control and really fun.
