Guest dtk1376 Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 The car in the back left of that picture is same one that's on Off-Road Rally now. Doesn't mean it's same ride, but it's possible. 1 Quote
shark6495 Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 I thought the same. I read that this ride lived at the new Coney Island from 06-07...... But maybe it is, I just was wondering Quote
bs_78 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 I was confused because I knew my daughter had rode them and really hated the drop landing more than me. I knew that the Flying Dutchman had not been at KI for years. I forgot they were moved to KK. A few years and a couple of kids things get blurry. Thanks guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I operated this ride and always had fun running out and stopping the scooters that were still wlldly swinging when the ride came to a complete stop. Wore out the bottoms of some shoes with my sliding stop approach ha! 4 Quote
Merthecat Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Hey! Those Eagles ain't goin' nowhere! -Mer, who hardly ever rides the thing but is very possessive about it. 3 Quote

upstop Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 ^^ How cool is that? I remember that last day, and saw my signature on the card. Thanks for posting! 2 Quote

BoddaH1994 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Not gonna lie. I'd rather have the Eagles. 5 Quote
HarvestmanMan Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I thought the same. I read that this ride lived at the new Coney Island from 06-07...... But maybe it is, I just was wondering There's a very similar ride that's been at Coney for quite a while. It was removed sometime in the past few years and the cars are (or were, as of a year and a half ago) now used as decoration around the park. One was around the side of the office building near the entrance to the restrooms. 1 Quote
kingsislandfan1972 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 So as we all heard before Kings Island may be getting a new flat ride for 2015, ca'nt wait for that. 1 Quote
JubJester Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Found this article: http://www.screamscape.com/html/kings_island.htm Note: It will not work at first but just re-type the 'htm' and it should work. Quote
jcgoble3 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Fixed link: http://www.screamscape.com/html/kings_island.htm Screamscape is anything but reliable. His "source" may very well be a random post on an internet forum like this one from somebody speculating. Hell, it very well could be a KIC post that was really nothing more than speculation. The "source" could even be this very thread. 3 Quote

jcgoble3 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Correct. You didn't. I was just pointing that out for the benefit of anyone who may not know that. 1 Quote
medford Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 and his information may just "change" if not disappear all together if different information comes along down the road. 3 Quote
Guest dtk1376 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 But let's not forget also that he is not 0% on his predictions, he was pretty much spot on about the new Slaughterhouse next to The Beast before the area even broke ground. 4 Quote
Spectrum91 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 : http://flyingeagles.anything80s.com/KingsIsland%92s-FlyingEagles.pdf Page 7: "The Brady’s Visit the Flyers in 1974" The Brady Bunch actually visited and filmed at the park in August 1973. 1 Quote
DegenRider Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I was there the last day 10 years ago. Even If they came back I don't know if it would be the same. It wasn't just the ride it was the people. 3 Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Ten years. Wow. It's been ten years... Terp...who can't believe it's been 10 years. 4 Quote
Skylab Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I was also there on the last day. I remember the cake, the t-shirts, everything. Even now, I hang my head a bit when I walk past the Eagles' former spot.I went to Cedar Point for the first time this year. It was a cold and rainy morning in May. You know the very first ride I ran to? The Lake Erie Eagles. They weren't my flyers. They sat next to Gemini instead of Vortex. I couldn't move them as easily as I could ours. The moment I felt that satisfying snap, though, I felt like I was home.If this rumor turns out to be true, then I welcome this new ride. The world can always use more flyers... so long as they can snap. 3 Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I wouldn't hold your breath quite yet. 1 Quote

Skylab Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Screamscape is sometimes proven right. Take everything with a grain of salt, but the mere fact that it's on there gives me a bit of hope. Maybe they could go on the old Flight Commander platform. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I didnt know that my source wasnt 100% reliable, but I hope it is true. Trust me - I hope you're right and I'm wrong. 2 Quote
