girlafraid Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I miss the original Kings Island font! Remember when Vortex was put in and my mom called me a chicken trying to talk me into riding it with her. Thank you for this. x Quote
matthunterross Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 Completely agree about the font. More coming. Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Awesome article on Vortex! Thanks for sharing! Quote
medford Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I remember when Vortex went in, it was the biggest, baddest ride in the park; I was simply awestruck watching it run its cycles, but too scared to give it a spin, I think that changes a year or two later when I finally jumped on board. All these years later, I still think Vortex is the most intense coaster in the park. Sure Diamondback is bigger, but its so smooth its almost liesurely (but in a good way); Flight of Fear catches you off gaurd multiple times, but noting quite as intense as that fist drop on Vortex, or going thru the double loop or batwing. I still love that rendering, it always looked great on a tshirt. The Bat had to be destroyed to make a classic...Son of Beast had to be destoryed to make way for a ...... 5 Quote

jbum123 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 What is the red dome looking thing to the left of the ET? Quote
medford Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Kings Island theater, I believe. They used to show movies (or perhaps shorts is the right term) in there, IIRC. I believe I saw some IMAX type (it was before IMAX, but that kind of direction) helicopter flyover of mountains in that bubble, unless I'm confusing it w/ something else. Quote

Thank you for this. x Luckily, the park recognizes the fondness people like you and me and others of that age group have for that font and have reproduced it on a t shirt in various colors for your purchase in the emporium. I think the shirt was like $15-20, 3 Quote

At one time the effiel tower was the center attraction, now it seems more like a gateway to the park now. Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Kings Island looked so... Different. IN A GOOD WAY! I love how it is now, but I think I would prefer to grow up in the era. Quote
