TOPGUN1993 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 If anything the monster the currently exists could be a mix of 2 or more models combined into one. The Monster that use to reside at Canada's Wonderland was shipped to KI within the last 10 years. And has surely became a parts donor. 6 Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Those rides are awesome! I really wish they could lower all the arms at once though to make the line bearable. 1 Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Scooby was really rolling on those Scooby-Snacks at this point wasn't he? hehehehehhehehe 4 Quote
malem Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 For the curious, that photo was from the 1994 season. Someone in my family took it - from the angle, I'm pretty sure it was someone taller than me at the time . Scooby may have been alone with those crazy eyes that rolled about. I have photos of other characters from the same time, and they have normal eyes. 1 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 What is Rosa's Recipe? Is that the fudge shop? Quote
coaster_junky Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 ^LaRosa's Pizza, not the fudge shop. 1 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 ^LaRosa's Pizza, not the fudge shop. Oh, LOL. If only Scooby wasn't in the way. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 LaRosa's had done a major remodel of their kitchen, increasing capacity and efficiency. It was quite the day. Hard to believe Scoob now works for Flags, under license from TimeWarner. Quote

I'm guessing Disney started the trend, but I wasn't around then so I'm not positive. Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Kings Island opened with Fred Flintstone and the HB characters everywhere. Then again, Taft Broadcasting owned Kings Island. The Looney Tunes have been at Flags since the days when TimeWarner owned Flags. 2 Quote
Jr for Birdy Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Those rides are awesome! I really wish they could lower all the arms at once though to make the line bearable. My four year old and I waited for 30 minutes to ride Monster on the right side,right before we get on they open the left side and people just walked right on. I hate that! I just stood there thinking,"Dang,my timing stinks today"! 1 Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 Photo #14 Lets see if anyone can guess what this is from, before I explain the photo. 9 Quote
LordSkippy Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 That is obviously a picture of the time when government workers were called in to remove a UFO. I mean, duh.(Seriously though, I haven't the slightest idea what that is.) Quote
medford Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 what LordSkippy said is my guess, something to do w/ Flight of Fear, perhaps something to do w/ the announcement of said ride. Quote
THE_BEASTmaster Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 I'm guessing Flight of Fear construction teaser. Quote
LordSkippy Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 You know, come to think of it, perhaps my suggestion wasn't totally wrong after all... Quote
Jr for Birdy Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Please,thats a shot from Ghostbusters III. Even i know that! Quote

I'm guessing Disney started the trend, but I wasn't around then so I'm not positive. Coney Island had The Wizard of Oz, the Banana Splits, and some of the Hanna Barbera characters walking around. I would imagin that Disney started the trend 1 Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 It wasn`t the display that they created to announce that Nickelodeon Splat City was on its way to the park in 1994 was it? (Which would put this picture sometime in 1993.) Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Photo #14 - Outer Limits Flight of Fear announcement ceremony, the "alien capsule" held the crop circle designs.(More to be posted if there's a interest)Photo #15 - Eiffel Tower Early 1970's 15 Quote
KIfan73 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I try to imagine what it would have been like to witness something on the scale of Kings Island develop in the middle of a field in Southern Ohio. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 So I was a few years off. Were those two people in that picture wearing the old flight suits that the Flight Deck/Top Gun crews used to wear? 1 Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Yes, there is interest! Please share. 7 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Photo #14 - Outer Limits Flight of Fear announcement ceremony, the "alien capsule" held the crop circle designs. (More to be posted if there's a interest) What do you mean, "if" there's an interest? This is Kings Island FREAKIN' CENTRAL! Of course there's an interest! Let's see 'em! 10 Quote

This is Kings Island FREAKIN' CENTRAL! Of course there's an interest! Let's see 'em! Department 47 (Flight of Fear) has a rather complex back-story and lots of details some probably have never even noticed before perhaps I'll do a photo TR on just FOF at some point. Esp this past season I have come to appreciate it even more. It and Express are in my opinion the last "themed" rides in the park. 8 Quote
Oldiesmann Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Photo #6 - Nickelodeon Splat City Water Maze - 1995-2005 (Shortened for Spongebobs Bikini Bottom Bash) The green tower would shoot water out the top randomly. I believe it was on a timer. As an employee in HB in 2005, I loved hearing unsuspecting guests scream as they got soaked after the bell rang. 1 Quote
