KIfan73 Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 That area of the park really amazes me, too. To think of all the details. What is that building next to Screamin' Demon in the lower right hand corner of the third picture from the top of this thread? Quote
coaster_junky Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 ^i'm not sure, but it looks like the air-brushed tee-shirt stand located in oktoberfest. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Bottom left is currently Stunt Crew Grill back then it was called "Kafe Kilmanjaro" Lower Right was "Nairobi Nursery Hut" & in 1987 "Small Animal Habitat" Top Right is the monorail maintenance building, currently it's the steel coaster maintenance shop.

Cortney Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Wow I never knew Kings Island named "The Beastie" Scooby Doo at one point. I have always known it as Beastie. Scooby Doo Coaster was at Carowinds to me. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Wow I never knew Kings Island named "The Beastie" Scooby Doo at one point. Actually, you have that backwards. KI named Scooby Doo "Beastie". The ride was Scooby Doo from 1972 - 1979, then it was Beastie 1980 - 2005. Quote
striker7 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Here is a pic of The Beastie and the tunnel. Quote

frisbeefan Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 It's neat seeing the old rider safety sign. Quote
kjkjkj Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Oh, how I miss Phantom Theater. Hands down one of my favorite rides at the park, when it was still there. Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Yeah I have seen these. I miss how the park was when I was younger Hanna-Barbera Land was classic, I remember Smurfs being every nook and cranny when I went when I was younger. I miss The Smurfs Enchanted Voyage I LOVED that ride... Phantom Theater was ok didn't really care for it all that much. Scooby-Doo I love how that coaster was painted yellow. Scooby-Doo and The Haunted Castle I miss you! Scooby-Doo you were a Kings Island staple You will missed! Quote

fighting31irish Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Its the off season so I figured I would bring this back out for anyone who might have missed them this spring. Thank you for doing that, being as I wasn't a member then, I really enjoyed these!!!! Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks, I love seeing old pics of the park. I really wish I could remember more from my trip back in 87 Quote
striker7 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 Anyone have any other old photos to add? Quote
Flat Freak Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 KI has a 1970 construction pic on their Facebook page. I'm not at my normal computer so I can't post it. I'm sure someone reading this can. Nice to see the 1972 map posted. To this, the Rotor remains the only ride that has EVER made my lose my lunch. That ride was the epitome of spin-n-puke. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 ^It's already been posted in this topic: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23980 Quote
lopan Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 QUOTE (coaster_junky @ Aug 11 2009, 03:42 PM) wow, i'm not sure if i like the color of scooby doo, and what was in the building where sdathc is? this? Is that the same building heavily redone for phantom on or did they tear it down and build a new one? It looks so much different now Quote
