InvertiJack Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 IMO, Planet Snoopy is fine, but nothing can compare to Hanna-Barbera. Nickelodeon was also better than Peanuts. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk 11 Quote
freaks76 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Oh how I did love Hanna-Barbera Land. Only got to go once when I was a young'en. I was to little to ride any of the "big stuff", well over 36" anyway. I still think of that day, quite often nowadays. It really was one of my "Best Days ever" 11 Quote
silver2005 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 The wood carving shop also used to be by that log flume as well if I remember correctly. Rivertown in general was much more lush in greenery. Very shady. Also, KCKC. 9 Quote
InvertiJack Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 What was KCKC like? Also, is it true that you could see the old photo booth when exiting Crypt? Can you still see it from Rivertown? Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk It just went up a hill and around some curves around the trees before coming down the chute. The boat would bang around a little bit but is was a nice scenic ride and the drop was fun. 8 Quote
InvertiJack Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I wonder why they took it out. Based on old park maps, it doesn't look like anything currently resides there, but those can be misleading. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk 2 Quote

InvertiJack Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 That looks like the exact same ride as WWL at Cedar Point. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk 4 Quote

InvertiJack Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Huh. I never knew it was around for nearly that long. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk 2 Quote
THE_BEASTmaster Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 KCKC (Kenton Cove Keelboat Canal) operated from 1973-2001 Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk 6 Quote
Banshcheese Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Is that the railroad next to it? Never realized how close it was to the water. Pretty cool. 7 Quote
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 KCKC was much better than RFYLCB. In my opinion, anyway. 14 Quote
InvertiJack Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Maybe, but RFYLCB fits in perfectly, with the Peanuts theme fitting in with PS, and the wilderness theme fitting in with Rivertown. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk 6 Quote
shark6495 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Look at all of the trees. All of the trees... and the water... oh my... Look at the trees.... I forgot about that.... Also RFYLCB was originally just the Log Flume at Coney Island right? So when it was at KI originally it was just themed to go with River Town, like sending logs down the river... Then from what I remember it was always apart of River Town (and the older part of the park) till it was rethemed to the Wild Thornberries ride... Right? 14 Quote
MDMC01 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Correct, RFYLCB had another name (Kings Mills Run?) before becoming Wild Thornberries River Adventure in 2001. It became RFYLCB in 2010. EDIT: Also, I'm starting to lean towards #TeamGiga if that lime green track is heading our way (I really hope it is!). However, I'd welcome an RMC or Lightning Racer-esque (at least in terms of smoothness) GCI. 4 Quote
Logan Goddard Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I am honestly okay with any manufacturer. My personal want would be a giga or a mack launch, but am currently thinking its gonna be a GCI or RMC. I am also confident that it is going to be a great ride that many people are going to enjoy. 2 Quote

benny1388 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Seeing that photo of the old flume reminds me of sitting outside the old exit of The Beast when I was too little to ride it waiting on my mom and brother. At least, my memory seems to remember them being close together... 5 Quote
KIBeast Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 KCKC and The Beast were that close. KCKC was my favorite water ride they've had, although WWC is a good one as well. Much better than the one that formerly resided at Geauga Lake. It was just a concrete chute while WWC is very well placed. 3 Quote
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 It makes me quite sad to see old pictures of KCKC, and knowing a vacant building (and a huge lack of trees) currently occupy that spot. 11 Quote
KIfan73 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I have to agree. I think Kings Island has done a good job with the park over the years, overall, but it's tough to look at some of those older pics! 5 Quote
beastfan11 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Those pictures make me miss old Rivertown. What happened? Sheesh. 5 Quote
beastfan11 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 This site is full of dumb ****s..I hope the burn The Beast to the ****ing ground, talk about force less, enjoy ur bland ass kiddie park. "Er Mer Gerd, my opinion is the only one that matters. Somebody pay attention to me." 18 Quote
