TheBEASTunchained Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I have seen alot of pictures of these fireworks at Kings Island and I was wondering What year the fireworks in this picture were from? I go to Kings Island Over 25 times a year but I only went on the 4th of July once. It was very overcrowded and I wont go back on the 4th. Quote
TheCrypt Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Those were taken during Nights of Fire, and many of those days of Nights of Fire were worse than the 4th of July (park reached capacity many times). I think those were taken around 2004, when the park (last I know of) shot fireworks off the Eiffel Tower for the last time. The park still uses that image for promotional reasons, making the average park guest think they are truly spectacular. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 And the park no longer does that due to, among other things, safety issues. Some guests had falling embers rain down upon them. Thus ended the Eiffel Tower fireworks. Quote
KIfan73 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Son of Beast was operating then, too. it was a dangerous time to be at Kings Island. 2 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Great show way back in 2004; and if you blinked, you missed that signature effect (as did I almost). Quote
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I watched those during the 4th of July in 2005. And yes, it was packed that day. Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks guys, I had forgot all about the Nights Of Fire at KI. Quote
TheCrypt Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 And the park no longer does that due to, among other things, safety issues. Some guests had falling embers rain down upon them. Thus ended the Eiffel Tower fireworks. Couldn't they have blocked off the paths? Great show way back in 2004; and if you blinked, you missed that signature effect (as did I almost). What was this so called "signature effect"? Quote
beastrider97 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I believe the signature effect alluded to was the fireworks on the Eiffel Tower. Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 I would like to see the fireworks tonight, shoot off of the sides of Eiffel Tower but I doubt that will happen..... Quote
muppetfan1999 Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Wait, those were real fireworks used at the park? I always thought that picture was just enhanced to make it look as spectacular as possible. So were the Nights of Fire just special fireworks, or was it more? Quote
Captain Nemo Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Nights of fire was the show to see around the tri-state. Not so much now. Blue ash is the show to see nowadays. Quote
Mr. Christopher Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 ^ Did you enjoy their show with some butterscotch ice cream? Quote
