Snowman Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Is the Whip kid ride they're on the same one that's still there today? I would have loved to ride the Sky Ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one love this video, makes me think how far the industry has come! Like you Snowman, I would have loved to ride the Sky Ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I'm not a big fan of the blue railed Racer. The white looks so much cleaner and simplistic. Especially in the winter, when there's a nice, fresh coat of SNOW on it! Great video, anyways. But, The Brady Bunch was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 The park posted a link to this video via Twitter the other day... Wonder why they would decide at this time to suggest watching the Partridge Family at Kings Island? Maybe members of the cast plan a reunion/visit a' la the "Bradys" a few years ago? (This episode was titled "I Left My Heart in Cincinnati." There was a line in the episode where either Keith or Danny asks a local girl if she wanted to go out and see the town; which, to us locals, was funny because that would have meant a gas station, a powder factory, and acre upon acre of rolling, pastoral farmland. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I always loved The Brady Bunch, I always liked The Partridge Family better. I thought that Mrs. Partridge was a little cooler than Mrs. Brady since she played in a band with her kids.

CoastersRZ Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 We are quite fortunate that Kings Island was featured in two television shows during its first two seasons. No other seasonal amusement park can lay that claim to fame. Not to mention, it gives us wonderful video clips of the park from its early years. And remember, that Kings Island, which is 39 years old this year, is still a relative youngin` in the industry. (Just look at my avatar). Coney Island is celebrating its 125th anniversary this season. (The exact 125th birthday is on June 21st). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Did anyone else notice how many people were literally just standing and watching the actors as they were walking or riding. If you watch the Pop Up Brady it tells how the patrons were not supposed to acknowledge the Brady's or anything. I guess the Partridge Family was much different. Still a bigger fan of the Brady's. I have also never seen someone stand up on the log flume like that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 In this day and age, that scene would not have made the final cut. Irresponsible. Plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Standing up on a log flume... Not something Kings Island or its corporate parent would want to in any way endorse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Ah, I forgot about that...but yes...I agree. KI currently and CF would not have had that at all. Edit: of course because someone is "famous" they get to have special privileges, but if you or I would have done that....we'd be in trouble.

The Interpreter Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Not in today's world. It wouldn't matter WHO he was, he would not be standing up in a log flume ride...too much "monkey see, monkey do" in today's world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
