flightoffear1996 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 My dad passed away earlier this week and while we were going threw some old photo albums I found some old photos from a Winterfest trip and Cedar Point trip he took before I was born.

Outdoor Man Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 sorry to hear about your dad. thank you, though, for the picture upload. Great Winterfest pics.. I have to say, some of them seem to have been taken from the 50' level. I didn't know that was opened during Winterfest... maybe in the early years of the event.

markr Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 My sincere condolences to you. You father must have been a very special person. I especially loved the photos of the Corkscrew midway which showed the sign leading to Jungle Larry and Safari Jane. ( The wild animal preserve where Power Tower sits now.)

jbeast Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I am also sorry for your loss. Those are some wonderful photos. I especially like the one from the tower's 50 foot level Looking out at the back of the park. Brings back alot of memories of what the park felt and looked like when I was a kid.

josh4958 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Sorry for your loss. He took some great pics. With The Bat and zodiac you have no doubt with the time line. What source did you use to up load the pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSalsa Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Sorry to hear about your father. I know what it's like, my dad passed away a few years ago as well. As for these pictures: WOW. Amazing stuff. I especially liked the picture from the 50' deck of the Eiffel Tower looking towards the end of Coney Mall and The Bat. I clicked around trying to save it (that picture is going on my desktop I like it so much), and the album name says "Kings Island 1985"...was The Bat still standing in the winter of 1985? Apparently, if that date is correct, it was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
