DBInternational Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hey Guys! Just wanted to let you guys know about a cool new thing on Google Earth. If you go to Kings Island and put the little "street view" character on a path in the park, you can act view it like a normal street view image and "walk around" the park. It's pretty neato as the pictures are very high quality and they seem to be quite recently taken. I first noticed this feature with amusement parks when i was looking at Busch Gardens Williamsburg and tried it out. Just today I've looked and seen that Kings Island, Cedar Point, Michigan's Adventure, Dorney Park, California's Wonderland, World's of Fun, and Canada's Wonderland (which were taken during the beginning construction of Leviathan). And thats just the Cedar Fair parks. I think its prettty cool and think you guys should go check it out! Hope ya like it, DBI 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VortexBFForever Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I've seen it before. I so agree with you that it's cool! (and it's a nice way to see Vortex up close when I can't be at the park! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonofbeast2.0 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I used my Google Earth app and pics are pretty new. I know because Son of Beast trains are not their. Every time I went to KI this year I could see them from adeventrue express and on Google Maps I don't see the trains anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like a while ago considering Flight Comander, King Cobra, and Lion Country Safari are there and Flight of Fear isn't. Also it looked like Action Theatre was under construction at that point, so thats got to be about 1993-ish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
