King's Island was so great back in the 80's. My summer camp took a big trip there each summer. We also went to the Beach Waterpark which was just as amazing. It had the right coasters, right rides, and a perfect setup. Unfortunately it is not the same today. The King Cobra and some other great rides were taken down and replaced by rides that are not as good. I went there in 2007 and it was not the same King's Island I knew as a teenager.
Here, in Long Island, New York, I see commericals for Six Flags Great Adventure and sometimes (even a few years ago) they might tell you to pick up coupons at a location. I have even seen Dorney Park coupons at Dunkin Donuts and (maybe) Subway, even though I do not know how far Dorney is from Long Island.
Had to be 1992. It was the only year that had October 4 on Sunday that was after Vortex opened (1987) and before everything turned Paramount (1993).
How...unfortunate, for lack of a better word, that the words "Fun Fling" appeared over the image of Flight Commander, considering what happened on that ride in '91.

More like the early 90s... Flight Commander is shown, as well as the first abbreviated KFC logo.
