September 11, 201411 yr 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.
September 11, 201411 yr 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
September 12, 201411 yr 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!
September 12, 201411 yr Hey! Those Eagles ain't goin' nowhere! -Mer, who hardly ever rides the thing but is very possessive about it.
September 12, 201411 yr ^ Or we could just take both......How about THAT for a deal?..... TheBEASTunchained.....Ever hopeful....
September 12, 201411 yr ^^ How cool is that? I remember that last day, and saw my signature on the card. Thanks for posting!
September 12, 201411 yr ^^ Tell you what....you can have the Eagles and we'll take Fury 325....Deal? No.
September 14, 201411 yr 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.
October 20, 201411 yr So as we all heard before Kings Island may be getting a new flat ride for 2015, ca'nt wait for that.
October 20, 201411 yr 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.
October 20, 201411 yr 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.

October 20, 201411 yr Correct. You didn't. I was just pointing that out for the benefit of anyone who may not know that.
October 20, 201411 yr and his information may just "change" if not disappear all together if different information comes along down the road.
October 20, 201411 yr 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.
October 20, 201411 yr : 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.
October 22, 201411 yr 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.
October 22, 201411 yr Ten years. Wow. It's been ten years... Terp...who can't believe it's been 10 years.
October 22, 201411 yr 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.
October 22, 201411 yr 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.
October 23, 201411 yr 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.
