BoddaH1994 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I’m not 100% sure that this is allowed to be out, so if the mods need to kill this thread, no hard feelings. I saw this on Insta. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorkscrewMcPuke Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I can't believe 1972 was actually 50 years ago. That being said... Spoiler We are closer to 2050 than we are 1990. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIEagle33 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I think it would have been nice if they showed some rides from the past, but some people might get confused. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timchat2 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 To paraphrase Muppet Vision 3D, the banner is a salute to all eras of Kings Island but mostly the Cedar Fair one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would sharing this, which is in plain view sight of everyone traveling along Kings Island drive and perhaps some on the I71 northbound any different than you posting the picture of the sign out front the entrance getting some work? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 In the OP, why does the ET and Orion seem larger than life? I mean, I know about forced perspective, but neither one are THAT big or THAT close to the turnstile buidling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver8rws Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I think it's SUPER generic and pretty lame to be honest. BUT glad they put up some banner rather than none... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I know about forced perspective, but neither one are THAT big or THAT close to the turnstile buidling. I shot it with a full frame camera at ~450mm. The compression is more an issues of subject distance from camera, not a complete function of focal length. If you look at the close ups I shot at 600mm later that day, Racer and Orion both look like they are looming right over the international street restaurant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT glad they put up some banner rather than none... It is way better than some previous banners. Besides the banners for Banshee and Orion, most years, the banners have just included advertisements for meal plans and FunPix. Even in 2017 when Mystic Timbers opened, only one-third of the banner space was dedicated to the new ride. The rest was just advertisements. This 50th anniversary banner looks way better in comparison to past entrance banners at Kings Island. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlentless Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I thought it would be nice to put up a plaque or sign at the location of each defunct ride. Just give name, some history and facts. Maybe include some pictures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we settle for a plaque? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I actually love the banner. I hope they do full banners in the future instead of multiple smaller ones. It gives the entrance a lot more sleeker look in my opinion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t know if it was taken illegally or not. Now I know it wasn’t. That’s why it’s fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about no banner and a return of the international flagpoles/flags? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
