Guest TombraiderTy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks for the comments - I really do appreciate them Here's the final updating, showcasing some Cincinnati, Coney Island, and a couple other things. Like before, please don't post elsewhere or use publicly without my permission. So here's some buildings. If I actually spent time in Cincinnati, I could probably tell you what some of them are... Paul Brown Stadium Great American Ballpark Construction on the Banks - how far has it come in the two-and-a-half years since? Random tidbit - I got a unicycle for Christmas and one of my goals is to ride across the Purple People Bridge on it before summer ends. Just so ya know. City skyline as we flew away. Robbie, the next few photos are dedicated to you Sunlight Pool - haven't visited here in roughly a decade The Twister, the park's new-for-2009 slide. It replaced the Zoom Flume. Riverbend Bumper boats, swinging ship, and what-not Couple more flat rides, nestled in the trees We visited Cincinnati and Coney Island before Kings Island, so this shot was on the way up. I just enjoyed the repetition here. Kings Powder Company The former Jack Nicklaus Golf Center, now the Golf Center at Kings Island. Finally, the Lindner Family Tennis Center across from the park. I hope you've enjoyed the photos and I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to share them. And once again, thanks for all the comments 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I like the shadows that the bridges are casting on the water in your one picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I add me to the list of those Very Thankful to Ty for sharing. Absolutely stunning pictures I enjoyed each and everyone. I knew when I went into this thread i would be here for a while studying each picture. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Way too many buildings in that Cincinnati picture to identify them all, but here are some of the bigger ones... Tall tan building on the left - Carew Tower, then the tallest building in Cincy. Building under construction - Great American Tower at Queen City Square. Stole the "tallest building" title. Building with twin towers - P&G headquarters Tall white building in the background - Kroger headquarters Tall building in the lower left - One Lytle Place (apartments/condos) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Ok... Now that I'm home on a computer and can see more of the picture, here are some more notable buildings for you... Castle-type building diagonally from the Fifth Third Tower: Cincinnati City Hall Diagonal building next to P&G: Former headquarters of Chiquita (they're now moving to Charlotte, NC) White building behind Chiquita: Federated Department Stores headquarters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16gwoods Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Is anyone having trouble seeing these pics... Where the picture should be it says bandwith exceded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Yeah, apparently Ty only has a free account with Photobucket, which limits the amount of bandwidth your photos can use. Since this thread has been viewed too many times, he's hit the 10 GB/month bandwidth limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16gwoods Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Oh Ok, I thought it had to do with my computer because I view pictures a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Sadly I cannot view the rest of your pictures Ty, I look forward to seeing them if there is anyway you can get them back up and going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsrattler Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Beginning of the month, pictures should be viewable again (for how long is another question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 As long as Lance doesn't link them on Screamscape again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yeah, Screamscape has a tendency to nuke bandwidth on free accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 If bandwidth is a concern, I'd be willing to host them on my server for free. There's no way you'd use up that bandwidth (though the server has a habit of getting bogged down due to high memory usage so there might still be a few times when they'd be unavailable). Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you an FTP account and a folder where you can store them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejej Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm impressed with all the pics. Even though it's been a few years, any aerial shots of Kings Island are impressive to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stky6 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Where'd you fly out of Ty. I'm a pilot and fly out of Harrison, see that view a lot with people wanting to fly over KI. Is one of your friends a pilot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Awesome pictures. I was using your picture of "Almost all of Diamondback" as my desktop background for a few months. Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderbeast1968 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thank you for posting those beautiful pictures. Looks like it might of been a lot of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewD4y20 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 These photos make me realize how much the park has been changing. Would love to eventually see a new rendition. It's a perfect way to catalog KIs place in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Wow. Looking at those "old" photos of Coney. Place has changed over the years that I have been working there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Ressurrecting an old thread: Nice photos of KI! Very neat to see these and realize how much the park has changed since 2009. With the additions of Banshee, Mystic Timbers, and now Orion along with the removal of Vortex, the park has changed so much! Also, kinda neat that they used to use Picnic Grove during Haunt. I'd love to see something like that again in Picnic Grove! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Unfortunately, none of the photos are showing up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
