CoastersRZ Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 On April 29th, 1972, Kings Island first opened to the public, thirty five years ago to this date, for a series of preview weekends. The park officially had its grand opening on May 27th. Ironically, it rained most of the day on April 29th. Happy 35th birthday Kings Island! Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Happy Birthday! If I'm not mistaken, isn't this Jeff Siebert's birthday too? Quote
Reclaimer Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Happy, happy birthday Kings Island! Boy, what a great birthday...so many good things going for the park! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted April 29, 2007 Author Posted April 29, 2007 Yes, I believe today is also Jeff Siebert`s birthday. (He was actually born in 1972 too). Quote

The Interpreter Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I suddenly feel very, very old! 35 years already! Here's to 35 more, and then some. And fewer owners this time around, with a razor sharp focus on what they want Kings Island to be in the future! Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Shhhh. The park will be selling it for just $3.39 a slice if they get that idea! Quote

PKIVortex Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 This thread reminds me of the 20th anniversary special where the lady was afraid to slide down the tallest slide at the time in Waterworks. Right before she slides down she says "happy birthday Kings Island". LOL Happy Birthday to you too Brian. Quote
