Creed Bratton Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I searched for anything like this and nothing popped up. So looking around the park has anyone seen evidence of the Paramount years? For example, at Backlot Stunt Coaster on the "advance" station (as of last season) you could see the Italian Job: Stunt Track face plate on the drive box. Side note--at Kings Dominion there is also a IJ:ST faceplate on the transfer track drive box. What have you seen? Quote
Sonor_Drummer Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I've caught a few paramount trash cans. I doubt they'll be there this year though. Quote
Delirium13 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 If you look inside some of the phones in the ride stations, I know for sure Adventure Express last year, some have the Paramount's Kings Island logo in them. Quote
Truth Seeker Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Some of White Water Canyon's boat's still have the Paramount logo printed on the rear. Quote
pkiboy Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Kings Dominion has lots of things still Paramount!!! I was there 3 weeks ago went in to the main shop on I-Street lots of the price tags had Paramount parks um FAIL!!!! I bet you I can still find 20 things at KI that still say Paramount!!! thats if you know the park very well im talking Back areas to. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Guests don't see back areas....and there is no apparent reason Cedar Fair, with its limited capital funds, should be changing anything just to omit the Paramount logo in the back areas that it doesn't absolutely have to. Quote

Its amazing what you can see from Kings Dominions Tower Terp . Quote
CedarPointer Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I think the signs you see walking from the main gate to BB parking are funny: "Associate Backlot Parking". Ahem. Quote
teenageninja Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Not that you'd notice, but at least one trash can has a Paramount logo under the Cedar Fair label. Quote
KIfan73 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 There is this one really tall wooden thing...oh, nevermind... 1 Quote
ParkMake Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I've also seen things like a Scooby-Doo in the pass pocessing center, but that isn't really Paramount. Quote
CedarPointer Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Unless they've gotten new ones, the mousepads in Guest Relations say SDATHC and PKI.com on them. Quote
KI Kevin Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 If you look inside some of the phones in the ride stations, I know for sure Adventure Express last year, some have the Paramount's Kings Island logo in them. A year or two ago I noticed that Woodstock Express's phone thing had the OLD Kings Island logo: like this Quote
CedarPointer Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I think there's some other things like that. KI's phone numbers are all 513-754-XXXX. 754 is PKI on a phone keypad. Quote
PKIVortex Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 But their local number was always 754 even before Paramount! Quote
Creed Bratton Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 lol-ing at the Action Theater picture. There is a lot of behind scenes things as pkiboy said. A lot of the maintenance trucks have partial PKI logos on them still. Anything else? Edit: I just remembered on top of the Drop Tower queue house, the Drop Zone paint scheme is on there. Quote
Mexican Eric Bischoff Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 So looking around the park has anyone seen evidence of the Paramount years? Yeah. The Crappy food is still there and the entertainment where they offer a few shows, but all it is is people singing. Quote
Creed Bratton Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 Definitely not what I was talking about. Quote
Jasper Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 If you look closely on the maintenance trucks you can see where they have peeled off the Paramount Mountains, very clearly actually. Someone has already mentioned it but White Water Canyon still has the old cutout of the mountains on it. Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Payroll checks still say Paramount Parks. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 But their local number was always 754 even before Paramount! Before Paramount, the park shared the local 398 prefix. 754 came along a few years after Paramount bought the park. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 But their local number was always 754 even before Paramount! Before Paramount, the park shared the local 398 prefix. 754 came along a few years after Paramount bought the park. Interesting. I figured 754 spelling "PKI" was just a coincidence. Guess not! Quote
Magm&MForce24/7 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 ^ Wasn't that covered with black tape before? Quote
Creed Bratton Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 Jasper! Thanks for putting a picture up! That's the face plate I was talking about. It was covered with tape before...as a "fix" to any legal issues but it was picked off. Quote
Stitch Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I am not sure if they are still there but a few years ago there were still some old Tomb Raider signs on the exit path of Crypt. Quote
