faeriewench Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 A few people might have seen I'm building up a pretty big display case of things I got between Kings Island, CP and SeaWorld. Found a couple boxes I had put away of uniforms I've gotten through KI. Decent pile of the blue polo Paramount shirts , hats. And these and In one of the other boxes I'm pretty sure the Top Gun jumper suit is in it, I remember getting one of the last ones and its about a size off for me lol. Anyone remember when the Days of Thunder uniform were worn? I'm guessing for the Action Theater, which is something I personally not to go on.

faeriewench Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Here's the front view. I need to get the wrinkles out of it, got it hanging up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I would actually think the Days of Thunder uniform was from the attraction of that name, which is now Thunder Alley. The go-carts located in Action Zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I would actually think the Days of Thunder uniform was from the attraction of that name, which is now Thunder Alley. The go-carts located in Action Zone. There was Days of Thunder in Action theater, before there was even a go-kart track in Action Zone(correct me if I'm wrong about the go kart track) And I believe that shirt is from the era when DoT was in Action Theater.

KIfan73 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 DoT @ Action Theatre was an amazing attraction from the time you entered the queue until you left it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 As opposed to certain other attractions Kings Island has had where the queues and leaving them were the highpoints...it was only what was in between that was rather....jarring. Terp, purposely obtuse this time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriewench Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Any pictures of it? I remember the sign out the front, and my grandmother for some strange reason liked the attraction. If I was on it, sure don't remember it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I know I would enjoy seeing other pictures of Days of Thunder (not the go-carts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to pics of the attraction other than the sign out front. I remember Top Gun's theming but no real memory of Days of Thunder.

KIfan73 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I looked in my old photo albums, but couldn't find any pics, but I'll try to describe it to the best of my memory... When you entered the queue, there were a few full-sized (I believe) NASCAR-sized racecars placed alongside the queue route. There were speakers playing racing sound effects as you walked through. When you got into the queues under the shelter, there were big screens that played a pre-show featuring Kyle Petty. It was in surround sound, and there was another car either suspended or on a platform in between the two sets of queues (again, the best of my memory). There were tons of theming. It was actually pretty exciting. For a time, there was a souvenir stand when you left the queues. I bought a hat from it after my first visit to DoT.

teenageninja Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 They used that same platform for a few years as well during the James Bond era and maybe the 7th Portal. I know that they stopped using it for SpongeBob though. The car rotated as they used both sides of AT for DoT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
