July 15, 200620 yr I found this link on another website...are they in Kings Island during the video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQuFbAKMzL8...banana%20splits
July 15, 200620 yr It sure does look as if it could be. Correct me if i'm wrong but didn't they flim some shows at KI?
July 15, 200620 yr Yep, they did...but THAT looks to me to be the old Coney Island...the flume surroundings in particular....
July 15, 200620 yr Author wow, I typed in "Kings Island" in youtube, and theres all kinds of videos. I'm in the middle of Evel Kneivel's Jump @ KI You can watch people riding the skyrider (whatever they were called) in the background on this one.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NciJeHEGxzU...ngs%20island%22
July 16, 200620 yr Yep. That is Coney Island. The Carousel and log flume of course are still operating at Kings Island. The Dodgems ride that was shown was in a building that also housed the Cuddle Up and the Whip. That building is still standing today at Coney Island. It is now known as Moonlite Pavilion and is located adjacent to the Administration building, and next to Trabant and the Super Round Up.
July 16, 200620 yr So, do I get a cookie? Then again, I went to the old Coney Island many, many times. Oh, how I miss the Shooting Star! And before some smart aleck asks, no, I am not old enough to have ridden the Wildcat. Drat!
July 16, 200620 yr Probably because it IS. Those rides moved to Kings Island...the log flume I am SURE did...the slide? Well, Coney Island had one and Kings Island had one...so I think it moved, but I ain't exactly sure...
July 16, 200620 yr And before some smart aleck asks, no, I am not old enough to have ridden the Wildcat. Drat! You were around during the days of the Flip-Flap were you not?
July 16, 200620 yr That looks exactly like the old log flume and Scrappy's Slide. I think you mean it looks like the Flying Carpets that became Scrappy's Slide.
July 16, 200620 yr If I'm not mistaken didn't "The Brady Bunch" film a show at Kings Island! I remember watching it I think! And I'm new to this site what is the talk about Coney Island?
July 16, 200620 yr That looks exactly like the old log flume and Scrappy's Slide. Yes those are the same rides, but in the video they are both brand new to Coney Island. The old log flume is still at Kings Island as for the Slide its gone. Wonder if anyone else has any old videos of Old Coney Island. I have the PBS video, but I am not going to put it on line its to long for that. My dad has been on the Wild Cat he liked it alot. My mom loved the Shooting Star and Wild Mouse coaster.
