pcc Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I found a few pics today of my trip to KI in 1994. Thought I'd share them since the park has changed since then. I have many many more somewhere, but these were in a special photo album. Anyways, the quality is poor, since it's a pic of a pic. My scanner is currently down. Without further adieu... Top Gun: Me on Top Gun (the big cheesy grinning gal) Me on Flight Commander (second one from the right, upside down) Me on King Cobra (front row) Me on King Cobra (front row) Here's a comparison (sorta) shot...then ^ and now: Hope you enjoy, I know it brought a smile to my face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersNSich Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Wow... my first year having a season pass, and first time riding King Cobra. The place surely had a different feel then than it does now, but then again, it was my first year really going multiple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcc Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 I know my Mom and Dad have massive amounts of my pictures at their house. I'll have to talk to them soon and get them to scan me some of the rides. I'll share when I get more, but don't hold your breath lol, I'm a busy gal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I got some pictures from my parents from opening year. Ill have to see if I dig some up and scan em in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Notice in the picture of the fountain from the Eiffel Tower the white rocks and bushes that were planted along side the fountain. That landscaping was later replaced with the more mundane and easier to maintain grass. Thanks for sharing those pictures! 1994 is right around the time that I was really beginning to get into roller coasters. I believe it was that year that I first rode Top Gun, and made my first trip to Cedar Point. I wouldn`t ride The Beast until October of 1995.

It's peaceful in that area. And I can't recall for the life of me if I rode The Beast that year, or the next year. That bugs me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Wow, keep em coming, those photos are great. My first visit was in 1996 so I don't really have an idea of the park before then. It looks a lot different. Makes me kind of want to hop in my Delorean and go back to 1994 and go to Kings Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 That want is pretty much universal. Terpy, who got that in just in the nick of time...and who thinks puns are paramount thrills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
