"Original" Map of Kings Island

[RD Reynolds]

Got this from a friend a few months back thought it would be cool to post it. I believe it's a reprint of the original KI map created in 2002. My scan isn't the best, but I'd be happy to at least tell you what any items you have questions on are. On my poster, the text is crystal clear, so yep, I can do that.

I love these old maps, so I am always interested in seeing them. Hope others enjoy it as well.

I loved the way the park was layed out and themed in the early years. It was much more than a park to ride rides. It had great atmosphere, a wide variety of shows and a great selection of food and wares for purchase. As much as I love KI today, sometimes I wish I could go back and experience the way it was years ago, just for a day.

Thanks for taking the time to scan (and share) this!

Happy to share. I'll try to get a shot of my 1982 map here one of these days.

This is of great sentimental value to me! Thanks for posting!

When I was very small, my mom's best friend, who knew I was just fascinated with Kings Island (at 3!) brought me a copy of the original map and my mom hung it up next to my playpen (yes, that small)... we lived in what was once the little white house across from the old fire station in downtown Mason (all four are gone now - Mom, her friend, the house, and the old fire station) - but the memory will live on.

Awesome find!

There's this, too. Some interesting labels!

That one is cool too, because it has items outside the park. Very neat indeed!
