CoastersRZ Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Rides come and go. Kings Island is a different place now than what it was even five years ago. Things change, and there is nothing we can do about it. If things didn`t change, look where we would be now. There would be no internet, or computers. Simple things like communication are now instantaneous, whereas before, you often would have to wait for letters to arrive via snail mail. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74Gibson Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Paul, That shot of the Eiffel Tower is so amazing for so many reasons! You have a remarkable eye for angles and catching intriguing action. Thanks again for sharing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Oh that reminds me of one time I went to Math and Science Day with my middle school ( we had to build roller coasters models and discuss the mechanics of them) and when we were there, there were some schools that had to find the height of the Eiffel Tower by measuring it's shadow. *shudders* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatbandguy8807 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I do have to say. I love the pics from the '90s. So many memories that come flying back when I see those pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Fury and Skylab was the first two rides I operated, sadly Skylab went down that year then I went to Outer Limits since they had to cut our crew in half.

Oldiesmann Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Having worked at Sky Tours in 2005, that sign brings back a lot of memories. It still amazes me that people are willing to wait 45 minutes for that ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
