Buckeye-Beast Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I used to enjoy going to Rivertown Potato Works and then relaxing behind Wings,in the shade at a picnic table. That was the most tranquil place in the park IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkitrumpet08 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I think that the IJST has really disturbed alot of the tranquility the park had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Butcher Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hey...dont diss the ride that I'm working at!!! Im jk, I have to agree, it upset the parks synergy. Took away from the tranquility nearly completely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Speaking of tranquility, my second favorite spot is one of the old animal barns behind SOB. Trees growing over the road, and the faint sound of a park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I used to like walking down the path across the pond going into River Town and watching all the geese. Next to that I liked sitting on the bench under the arbor tunnel going into River Town. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Butcher Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 speaking of the animal barns...why didnt they tear those down? That area looks so overgrown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Why bother? They are good for storage, and also they are not in view of the park, so why even bother tearing them down? Its kind of the same reasoning of why tear down the queue for Flight Commander? Reasoning is that its somewhat hidden, and its also not hurting anything, so theres no reason to spend extra money to tear them down.

RailRider Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Wow favorite place at Kings Island. Well for just pure relaxation nothing is better than sitting along I-Street at one of the patio tables and watching the fountains dance. Really loved sitting here during WinterFest under the Christmas Lights, watching the ice skaters, and having the Giant tree lighting the entire street up. Those are some good memories. Best place to take a nap in the park is over in Boomerang Bay near the wave pool or in one of the Cabanas. Love the sounds of the waves and it is so relaxing with the sun beating down.

cewldre Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I used to have a really favorite spot that was destroyed by the building of IJST. Before the park starts for the year, walking from right behind the Eiffel Tower towards the floral clock (which wouldnt usually have it's floral yet). You could see some of the trees starting to bloom again right around the Antique cars. The grass was starting to warm up from a long winters rest. Everything just looked so peaceful. Of course, as soon as the park opened, the image was lost, but I always enjoyed working on setting up the park and walking down that path, but it doesn't have the same pizzaz now that IJST is there.

SeasonPass4Life Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 During the summer I really enjoy sitting on the benches in front of Festhaus along the side of the pond. It's peacful and relaxing, and my kids can ride Viking Fury over and over without me. During Fearfest it's gotta be in front of Starbucks... watching people get scared! KI RULES!

Tuskin Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I definatly enjoy the walk back to white water canyon because its such a long walk and as long as not may people are riding it its nice to. But I like going out of the park and going behind it down a dirt road by the Son of Beast and sitting back and watching everything happen, some of u might know where this is some might now its over behind the high school and there is a road that turns into a dirt road that kinda leads straight behind The Beast.

AdventureExpresser Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 One of my favorite places to sit and watch through the summer months is in the dining area next to the Potato Works over in Rivertown, love sitting there listening to the train, while I people watch and eat my bucket of fries. During Fearfest, I found the most awesome view of the park I had ever seen, and that was while I was in line for Psycho Path, I turned and looked back toward the tower and there was a huge full moon next to the tower, and the tower was all lit up in the spooky purple, I snapped many pictures and one of the I had blown up to a 16X20 size and is hanging in my Kings Island room at my house.

ohiomom28 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 My favorite area is International St. and sitting by the fountains. Makes a good picture with them in the background! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauch Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 My best memories are White Water Canyon, Festhaus and the old Screemin Demon. Those three areas are probably fighting it out for my favorite areas of the park. As for now, I can't say...haven't been there in a few years, but standing in line for The Beast is always a thrill as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I would have to say the patio behind Bubba Gumps! Wonder if it was re-named this year? Hope they do not mess with my watering hole...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiana1986 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I think my best is the area right at the beginning of the park in the first of the morning it makes you feel so free and you know that the day will be exciting (hopefully).

beastfan11 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Sadly my favorite parts of the park are gone. My very favorite was probably walking into the lobby of Phantom Theatre, there was nothing else like it for me. I would sometimes saty in there for a while and just hang listening to the Maestro play... since there was really never a line. But know I walk into SDATHC and look up and I dont see the Maestro.... brings sadness to me jjust talking about it. my other favorite areas were the Tiques(RIP) and nothing beat riding the Eagles on a hot summer evening(RIP). But now, I would have to say Rivertown in general is my favorite. Especially waiting in line for The Beast at night right before the park closes.
