IndyGuy4KI Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I spend more time not watching the dialog and looking at Kings Island in background. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeast Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Being born in Cincy and then moved off to West Texas in the fourth grade, I clamored for anything that showed the Cincy area and in particular KI. I was so bummed living in a place where the nearest coaster or park was many hours away. Tumbleweeds and dust storms are no substitute for hills and trees and rivers. I missed the my hometown and area something fierce. However, I was fortunate enough to visit my grandparents who lived in Cincy for the summer up until high school, so KI was my special place I waited all year to go to. A long time ago, I copied this Brady Bunch episode finally so I could have see the park anytime I wanted (long before the internet) living so far away. Now, for many years, I live nice and close to the park that has always meant so much to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Kruthoffer Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 You know you love Kings Island when you only pay attention to the past attractions while watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Meh to the Bradys. I spend more time looking at the old ride signs (among other things) and wondering what happened to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 To really celebrate Kings Island's 50th anniversary, it would be great for them to finally reveal what Mike designed for the park. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by when the episode aired in relation to park development that occurred shortly thereafter, and Mike Brady saying the plans were for a "new area of the park," my guess is he was the one who designed Lion Country Safari for the 1974 season.

But that throws out the whole 5 year plan theory. My money would be that Mike Brady actually gave Jeff Gramke and Charles Dinn the exogenesis of the area The Beast resides in. So, Mr. Brady is the grandfather of The Beast. Think about it: Concept to board in '73. Construction begins in '77. Opens in '79. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky Kingdom was not around when the Brady Bunch went to KI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
