I don't remember the Phantom Theater cars being painted primary colors.

This year's countdown to opening thread is once again the thread of the year. Many thanks to TopGun1993. Unless we get news for 2013, I would expect this summer to be a bit quieter on the forums. Waterparks are great attractions, but they don't seem to generate as much online discussion as other things do.

I would like to say thanks for all the great pics! It has made time go very fast.

Oh no, this thread has come to end

Great pictures.

Great thread, enjoyed it very much and also learned some park history. Thanks for all your effort. How about a few special encore photos to cap off this long off season?

A great big "ahhhhh" from me. Always enjoy your photos-a great big thanks Paul for getting me through this long winter.

Photo #117 - I bet not many of you realized they firs left trees in the center of the rosebowl.

So this is the last photo? Thanks for all of them, TOPGUN1993! And have a great season!

Awesome thread, thank you! I hope everyone has a great opening day!!! :)

Amazing pictures, thank you for sharing!

Such great memories. I haven't been to KI in many years but it was a 1-2 weekly trip growing up. I even rode The Bat... TWICE. The picture of the queues for The Vortex put me right back on that pavement standing and waiting.

Awesome pictures!! Thanks again for taking the time to share all these photos!

I loved all of the pics. It's so sad to know that his three has come to an end but it also makes me happy that the season has started. Thanks for all the hard work
