cincyboy79 Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 looks like the "flower pot" looking things are missing? Quote
Mikewhy Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 They look like the fountains at Kings Dominion to me! Quote
WooferBearATL Posted February 3, 2007 Author Posted February 3, 2007 LOL I thought Interp would get it first! No one discovered that before? Quote
mullimann Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 good call Delirium. I was gonna say that because the trees arent the same either. I haven't seen the foutain at KD in years Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Note that the KD Eiffel Tower also still has its spire.... Quote
Mikewhy Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 I actually visited Kings Dominion for the first time last year. There were some things I liked better than Kings Island and others I did not. The things I liked better were the things that made me think of the Kings Island of old. The park is much shadier in many places than Kings Island, especially the kids section. They still have a log flume that has not been converted to the kids section, and they still have their Antique cars and flying eagles. They even still have an arbor tunnel that you walk through. Just some observations. Quote
PKIVortex Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Seen that pic before, and I thought it was PKD, just never thought to comment on it to everyone else on here. Quote
Cory Butcher Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 That is and hopefully will always be that beautiful of a scene. That truly says former Paramount Park, but it really reminds me of all the great times that I've had at KI! Quote
KIfan73 Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 I just set that as my desktop background a couple days ago...doh! Quote
Firefall Pkd Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Too bad KD hasn't taken care of the fountains for 3 years now, half of them are always turned off and half of those working are shooting at different pressures and different directions. A truly horrible first sight at the park for anyone that notices. Since some are turned off the water landing in these empty funnels would make a gurgling/farting noise, very odd to walk down IStreet and have a sound you can't figure out where it's coming from. I can only hope CF will put an end to that lack of care. Quote
ZosoBeast Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 That is and hopefully will always be that beautiful of a scene. That truly says former Paramount Park, but it really reminds me of all the great times that I've had at KI! But do I see the "Paramount Stars" at the end of the fountain? Zoom in on it, I am pretty sure those the are the Paramount stars. They appear to on what looks like their bandstand area. Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Correct on both counts! I bet they are gone in real life this year... Quote
Skywriter Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Correct on both counts! I bet they are gone in real life this year... Are fountain is not perfect. Go up on the Tower and look at the Fountians. They have rust color and it is unpainted it looks terrible. Hopefully it it will get painted this year. Quote
Delirium13 Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Although I agree with your statement, the fountains do need a good paint job. But the post you quoted had nothing to do with that. Kind of offtopic, but here is a really nice picture of the Kings Island Eiffel Tower Quote
Jasper Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 ^Even though i am a guy and it sounds wrong to say it like this but that is a beatiful picture. It is now my desktop background and it will stay as that until opening day probably. I reall like that picture. Quote

CoastersRZ Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Two things. One, the fountains are painted at KI. The second thing is that they just refurbished the fountains a couple of years ago. (I want to say 2004). They put in an all new concrete lining as the old one was apparantely leaking. Quote
Cory Butcher Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Jasper, its never wrong to call anything beautiful! Your exactly right, that is one beautiful Picture, and I am sure noone will give us crap about saying that, unless its interpreter trying to make a pun lol Quote

It just does not belong on the photos page on the PKI website. Quote
PKIVortex Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Yes those are the Paramount Stars on the bandstand. KI had them too, but has been gone for a few season's now. Quote
mutedarkness Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 http://www1.cedarfair.com/kingsisland/attractions/index.cfm another clue? whats the empty space for? Quote
PKIVortex Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Probably will have either a Vid or the new ride logo there. Also in the media center they finally got rid of the Nick U video that used to play. Quote
Reclaimer Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 What? You didn't like "DO YOUR KIDS LOOK LIKE THIS?!?!?!?" Quote

Kings Dominion's Tower and Fountain should not be billed as Kings Island. I can't believe that they made that kind of mistake, actually. Quote
fryler87 Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 http://www1.cedarfair.com/kingsisland/attractions/index.cfm another clue? whats the empty space for? Possibly a new promotional video for a new attraction??? Quote
