  • Your dates are wrong. The Bat closed in the middle of the 1983 season, but wasn't actually dismantled till 1985. King Cobra closed after the 2001 season, and was dismantled early in the 2002 season. The Demon was removed after the 1987 season.

  • i loved the ghost coasters!!!

  • I MISS THE NICKELODEON/HANNA-BARBERA THEMED RIDES :'(

  • Comment removed

  • SCOOBYS GHOSTER COATSER:(

    WHY?????!!!

  • king cobra was torn down in 2001 not 2005 :)

  • I used to live in indiana right next to ohio we always got season passes every year we went but then we moved west i miss KI :(

  • king cobra looks cool, they shouldnt have taken it out, they delirium isnt even a good ride. KI was better when paramount owned it

  • The only one I remember is the Scooby Ghoster Coaster. But I'm 15 soo..

  • @IbeJennaSpades You are about 15 years to late for this conversation sport.

  • i was there the night people died on the bat 1 was only 4 or so my older brother and sis rode it that night. and when i was a teen in the 90's I was there the day two people died the same day one in the pond by the eiffle tower and I forget the other. once i went to ride outer limits and the guy who does the count down before it takes off got to 2 and my harness came up. i was in the front seat too i jumped out so fast... this place has some questionable safety. I dunno if i will go back here.

  • @MrJpk741 The word on the street is that nobody Ever died on the Bat. They supposedly tore it down due to whiplash. I researched it, and found that nobody died on The Bat!

  • @intresselwetrust mabe thats right Was a little kid and I think my Brother and sister told me that to scare me.

  • I loved King Cobra!

  • so sad that the King Cobra is gone...best ride cause you always felt in the back of your mind that it could fall down at anytime

  • make a vid on how Son of Beast is doing if its screwed up or wut

  • @nerdyretards u can still see areas of wear the bat was by the vortexand under the boarding station

  • alot of people dont know this but the reptar or what ever its called now in snoppy land is based almost exactly of the bats design

  • @nerdyretards no it didnt thats a urban legend trust me i know i know the history of every ride in kings island thats there or not there any more

  • Do you really check daily

  • @vidpro2 Nope.

  • I remember the Scooby Ghoster coaster, one of my faves, quick line every time I was at Kings Island. Never went on any of the rest, but hey all looked great

  • i remeber the scooby do ride from when i was lottle

  • I remember being a kid, and staying at JellyStone Park, and hearing the Screamin Demon running while maintanence tested it. I couldn't wait to go the next morning. I would love to take my daughter there, but instead of camping, there is a minimum of a $200 a night resort.

  • I wish ic ould rode all of thesse rides i want paramount back i miss being 3 or 4 now i am 10 years above that

  • @pichurap21 02

  • How many KI visitors ever rode "The Bat" 1981-83?

  • @kzbxvz I was always told they removed it because a lady died on it after falling out

  • @jefdaniels It's not an correct answer to my question.

  • Okay, I'm going to release the truth about the bat. I know a guy who used to work at KI. One day before everybody got there, the workers where running testruns. When the bat was going around a sharp turn it fell off of the track. Don't think I'm lying.

  • i miss hanna barbara land and all the classics. i grew up with hanna barbara and dont know why they turned it into nick land :/

  • @iluzzmybaby16 actually now its snoopy and charlie brown

  • wait, I rode delerium in 2003 and the king kobra wasnt there :/

  • I remember my friends boobs bouncing up and down really hard on the Son of Beast. I'm serious!! We had a good laugh at the end.

  • i remember the ghoster coaster as a kid and i loved it. i miss the old park.

  • shockwave at kings dominion uses king cobras trains as back up some other parts

  • I heard The Bat had caused some fatalities. pf course it was gone by the time I ever visited King's Island. Screamin Demon was kind of lame, I remember standing in line an hour and thought "that was a waste" I would have like to ride King Cobra. I have not researched this but I guess Son of Best was torn down cause of too many injuries. I know they took out the loop but yeah the turbulence of that ride was unreal, I had to lay down in the grass after riding and my kid was asking what was wrong.

  • @Lesrevesdhiver Contrary to popular belief; nobody ever died on The Bat. Just alot of headaches, and minor whiplash. It still has to feel better than riding "Son Of Beast".

  • @Lesrevesdhiver SOB is still standing, just not operational. The second time I rode it, my back and neck were throbbing a bit, but I brushed it off as nerves...until my friends complained as well.

  • @Lesrevesdhiver Son of Beast is still Standing. They Removed the loop a few years back & People still complained about Back Pains & Whip Lash, so they closed the Ride down. But, It still stands there, Silent, Its kind of Heartbreaking. I rode it when it had the Loop & yes it was rough, but thats what a Good Wooden coaster does , It beats the crap out of ya .. LOL

  • @DeathToTrollz i road it then to it was a great ride.

  • I think King Cobra was the first coaster I road that had a loop. Didn't go for a few years and was heartbroken when I finally did and discovered it was gone. Heartbreaking.

  • when you actuall now about coasters this is a sad video the coasters were cared and loved for so much and were sadly removed.

    thumbs up if you agree :'(

  • bat looks best

  • You can still see the cut-outs from the Bat's overhead track in the staging house of the Vortex.

  • how come i cant find any videos or pictures of the Bavarian Beetle?

  • @Teratorry There are a few existing photos out there... but Wildcat at Cedar Point is VERY similar to BB, just bigger.

  • You should redo this video with a section for Son of Beast. Yeah, it's still standing, but we should still call it a deceased coaster. I mean, come on, we all know it's not coming back. Pay it the tribute that it's due

  • @UrukHai659 They are fixing it... its only been there for 10 years... it is coming back and better than ever!

    so know the facts before you go posting

  • @Teratorry Last time I checked, which was quite recently, the park was still refusing to say if they were tearing it down or reopening. Makes sense that it's gonna die, 'cause this isn't the first time they've shut it down for safety issues, and it's been defunct for a good two or three years. Where'd you hear about it coming back? I'm curious to see for myself

  • @UrukHai659 i got it from a worker there just about 2 weeks ago...

  • @UrukHai659 thats what i heard i thought

  • @Teratorry they've taken it off the website and the park map. it's not coming back

  • King Cobra would bust your balls! You were standing up straddling a bicycle seat, and if you were a guy you felt every dam bump on the ride. Other than that it was a fun ride!

  • king cobra was removed before 2005...

  • @flower159753 I'm saying why didn't you put that in this video?

  • R.I.P Son of Beast loved it i miss it so much they should bring it back

  • i cant belive what stupid reasons some of these were shut down for i was a huge scooby doo fan now i understand how that stupid nickolodien universe got there i even HATE nickolodien and im 11

  • I remember seeing the scooby doo ghost coaster, and the king cobra. and i couldnt wait until i was old enough to ride them. and now there gone D:

  • What about the Son of the Beast?

  • please do the news of the Kings Island park

  • nevermind on the other comment

    

  • can you make a video on flight of fear

  • where was "The Beast?" That was your roller coaster right there. Bad-ass.

  • @DeMarkieSade The beast is still here

  • @wolfshozzer Good, and it should always remain. It is a hallmark of King's Island.

  • @DeMarkieSade still there

  • the bat looked fun

  • that ghoster coaster wuz the 1st ive seen of its kind i wish 1 still existed sumwhere so i cud ride it

  • add son of beast to this. that ride will apparently never open again. it was shut down every time i visited anyway, and that was before the "problems" with it.

  • @mrhat1978 ideven get y they made that ride anywayz obviously its had nothing BUT problemz since they openeed it and that loop didnt last very long either

  • Comment removed

  • sooooooooooooooooo sad :'( i wasnt even alive when they took alll of them down they look fun

  • sooooooooooooooooo sad :'(

  • Stupid Nickelodeon Universe!

  • OMG scoobys ghoster coaster !! I really remember riding that when I was like 7-8 yrs old! Awe I miss it :(

  • some of those rides look cool but im with the new KI thats me tho....

  • i miss the bat (sob)

  • delirium is stupid i would much rather ride king kobra

  • Hey could you do a video on Camden Park in Hunington WV?

  • i miss the scooby ghoaster coaster

  • I remeber when  i was little and waiting in line for the little helicopter things and watching the Scooby Doo Ghoster Coaster go by and I always wanted to ride it and i always chickened out. I will never have a chance to ride it now :/ oh well

  • u know i remember my cousin beck telling me about the scoobt ghoster coaster when she worked there when she was 18 and by the way there freakin rollor coasters they dont have feelings so why dont u go out get a job and GET A DAMN LIFE u cant spend ur life feeling sorry 4 roller coasters that dont have feelings

  • i love kings island

  • I will pay my respects to the old roller coasters by remembering the history and tell others about it while I am at Kings Island this summer. I do the same thing at Carowinds.

  • Ok, seriously, what's with the music? It's a video about coasters that are gone, not a girlfriend. Why does everyone think they have to make a moving, thought provoking statement in their youtube videos? You aren't trying to win an Oscar, you seriously put yourself under suspicion as being a faggot or dork, which one is it? I'm guessing you are probably the same type of person who drank Zima or clear Pepsi and claimed you liked it.

  • @DarkTruth33 How is having an emotional bond with roller coasters or amusement parks any less weird than an emotional bond with a bunch of guys who run back and forth on a court or field for an hour? ;D

    For the record, Im also a sports fan.

  • i have never been here or heard of any of these rides but i miss them too cuz i know how it feels when these awesome rides are gone. a few years back six flags shut down astroworld in Texas and built a parking lot

  • icky song.

  • I actually rode the Bavarian Beetle... I guess I'm old!

  • guys top gun is not the bat delirium is where king cobra vortex is where the bat is now no one died on the bat it was taken down due to expenses & too many technical problems screamin demon was taken out because they had plans with that spot and barvarian beetle had too many problems and was taken out .

  • If you go to the vortex and look down into the area where it stands, you can still see the pieces of black steel bolted to the ground where the bat used to be. Also, the bridge you cross to get to the loading area for the vortex was also used for the bat.

  • Nobody died on the bat. When they built it, they didn't include curves in the banks, so new shocks were installed daily and as a result, cost the company way too much money to continue the coaster.

  • When I go to Kings Island this summer, I will try to pay my respects to the old coasters. I wished King Cobra was still there but I will really enjoy the Deletium better.

  • @jwhicks100 How exactly are you going to pay your respects? LOL

  • is the bat coaster is where top gun flight deck is now i guess that was a really cool ride wish it was still there

  • @TheCameronShow1000 No it was where the Vortex is now. It uses the same station that the Bat did.

  • The Screamin' Demon...if only Camden Park had taken care of it, we'd have a fucking awesome ride.

  • Great video. I remember The Bat and King Cobra. I believe someone died on The Bat but Kings Island's MO has always been death on roller coasters, hahaha! :)

  • Vortex is in place of the Bat & King cobra was removed at the end of the 01 season with the trains being sent off to KD to be used on their Togo standup,Shockwave.

  • @TheCameronShow1000 No it isn't. The Bat had no banking, which was pretty much the reason for the maintence trouble, and its removal. They are nothing alike.

  • The king cobra looks exzacty like sky rider at canadas wonder and it will be there until 2015when it gets too old for it's insurance. I love it hut I get the headache o thrill still from it. It's sad to see these wastes of money. I bet that if you put these rides in one park that it would be better than ceased point today!

  • The son of beast is NOT there anymore, its there in real life, not on the map, but will never be rode again, if the lady never popped her blood vessil in the brain, people would still be riding it

  • and i think they reused the scooby and its now the little helicoptors

  • @wviphoneman18 No, the Bat and Flight Deck are completely different. The Bat was scrapped. The inverted Scooby Doo ride was also scraped. The helicopters are a different ride.

  • i think the bat was moved and turned into top gun and then flight deck

  • can yhu make one about wild advetnures theme park

  • king cobra was gone in 2003

  • I believe the King Cobra went out in 2001---not 2005. Delerium came in 2003.

  • @jesusfreak47331 kin cobra was out in 2000 and maby before that. I know it was around in 2000 because thats the year I rode it

  • Barvarian Beetle 1972-1979

    Screamin Demon 1977-2004

    Bat 1981-1984

    King Cobra 1984-2005

    Ghoster Coaster 1998-2005

    R.I.P

  • i didnt get to ridee any of these rides , they look funn ? :(

  • lol King Cobra was removed cuz it decapitated some1 i think its in camden park now

  • If you're standing in the queue at Thunder Valley and look over the fence, you can see supports for King Cobra.

  • The bat was closed in 1984, and wasn't removed until 1986 when they started to build the Vortex. and it was 2,456 fett long and lasted 2:00 minutes

  • Screamin' Deamon was the first roller coaster I ever rode... well outside of The Beastie.

  • king cobra seats are in the flight of fear building. i think

  • The Bat was epic at the time...though it was closed everytime I was there. Still though...echos of her live on. The load station is still used for The Vortex. You can still see structural remnants (mostly concrete pillars/pads) on the grounds around the Vortex and it's spirit lives on in Flight Deck.

  • i have a picture of the bevarian beetle, i could send it to you, if I could have your email, give me your email on my channel, and I'll send it to you.

  • son of the beast is up and running it was on the map when i went in june 2010

  • @xXmriderXx No, It's not on the map. I was just there yesterday

  • @SkaterKairi waz when i went cuz we where gonna ride it but it was clear on the other side

  • @xXmriderXx Son of beast is not on the map, nor is it running at all this year.

  • Choice of music made me laugh.

  • I LOVED the ghoster coaster! I rode it right before nickelodeon park was built. I wuz a littlie!

  • just asking what do u mean by destroyed

  • btw the king cobra is IN STORAGE!!!!!!

  • i think they should stop taking down coasters and keep them there!!! I dont get why they take down the king cobra just for the stupid delirium. the son of beast aint even there anymore its not on the map and isnt on the list of rides!

  • @Skipper72o Son of Beast is still there. King Cobra was removed because the company that made it, TOGO, went out of buisness, and it was hard to find parts for. Some coasters just get old, rusty, or boring.

  • @F18Productions The Son of Beast still resides at KI, but however was closed in the 2009 season after a woman claimed a blood vessel rupture and placed her in intensive care. The 2010 map no longer shows Son of Beast on it, KI claims that it has cost them nearly 30 million dollars with the maintenance and upkeep. So I see in the near future that it will not be present at KI any longer.

  • @aturner83indy Yeah, I know all of that. He said that Son of Beast isn't there, which is not correct. I don't believe it will be there, too.

  • D: the ghoster coaster was the first coaster i ever rode!! i didnt know it was gone! D: i rode it when i was like 4

  • i wish king nobra was still there :(

  • delirium is temporarily closed for idk what reason but it says so on the website and son of beast isn't even listed in the rides and the ride is cut out of the map

  • @tffnygy son of beast closed until it's decided to rebuild it, demolish it, or fix it

  • king cobra was taken out in 2001 and technacly its still in kings island just not built because nobody will buy it and its in storage

  • the bat looks kinda fun!!

  • i live in cincinnati and i luv kings island and i hope the dont get rid of son of beast and these rides are sadly gone forever

  • the name of the cause is "Support the return of THE BAT to Kings Island"

  • they need to add The Son Of Beast to that list :(

  • @boxes656 talk to a dude they said they may begin to work on it or rebiuld to make it not so rough:)

  • @Polkadotsrcool100 YAY that wass one of my favorite ride :D

  • Although the Delirium is fun, I bet King Cobra would still be better. Stupid Bankruptcy.

  • i went to camden park and i didnt see demon

  • the concrete footings of the bat are still by the vortex! saw them yesterday! i always wondered why the vortex had a spooky loading house!

  • I love this song its

    really go's with this...

  • actually Olmec son of beast is closed for half this season then is opening up again. they closed it down cause some asshole thinks son of beast is the cause for there health issue. its stupid ppl sewing big companies like this even though it is their fault for not visiting a doctor before they go to the park.

  • @steves0629 It's closed for the whole season. And it may or may not be closed next year. They're trying to make it "more comfortable." How they're going to do that with a 200+ foot tall wooden coaster, I don't know.

  • now, add the son of beast to that list. It closed because of safety reasons.

  • @uLoveFaCti0n something like Kong at six flags discovery kingdom

  • @uLoveFaCti0n Yes, it is basicly crap now and I would probably never ride it again. I go every other day (almost). But my last visit yesterday, I asked a person operating Flight Deck about it and they said that it would open next season, towards the mid-season.

  • i rode the screamin demon when i was six :)

  • Man! I never got to ride sreamin demon! Or Kobra! I WASNT BORN YET!

  • Aww that's sad..... Scooby's Ghost Coaster was the first ride I ever rode..... I'm 15 now. So sad, so sad..... :(

  • @Sunnysun033 I am the exact same :( stupid Cedar Fairs ruined Kings Island imo

  • R they taking sob down??

  • @razorbladebitch666 no they r just waiting until next season to open it

  • @ProjectCoaster thanks but why??

  • @razorbladebitch666 idk, i just read about it in the news paper

  • @razorbladebitch666 yeah theyre burning it down right now

  • @razorbladebitch666 No, they aren't. Don't listen to FunAndOnly, he's just a troll.

  • My dad said one time he went to ride the King Kobra, and hes a big guy so the thing wouldnt strap down and lock. The employee's were gonna let the ride take off without him strapped in.

  • your gonna have to add the Sone of Beast T.T

  • i rode the SD ride and son of beast w and wo loop which is now gone... i miss them both.

  • The king cobra wasn't removed in 2005 because of the delerium. They delerium was built in 2003. Not 2005. Sad tht it's gone tho. I never got to ride it

  • Guys This Is XxXpWn3rzxxx Back Up Account And Im Sorry For Telling You Guys Im A Ki Employee..I'm Not.

  • Ok Guys Sorry..Im Not Really A Ki Employee..I Just Said I Was Because I Figured People Would listen To Me ):

  • Listen Up If You're Concerned About SOB.

    I Am A Worker For Kings Island.

    Guys We Know You Love It But We've Spent Over 30,000,000 Dollars In Repair And Its Not Looking Too Good. It Will Be Closed For Most Of The 2010 Season Unless We Can Get Some Repairs Going On, Thanks.

  • T.T I miss Son of Beast

    but Diamondback is way cooler!

  • I remeber scooby's ride when I was a kid!

  • Nice video. And yeah i guess Son of Beast is getting taken out because apparently they spent like 30 million dollars on repairs and if u look on the kings island map the son of beast isn't on there :/

  • @metallica0981 What the hell? That would suck! Sure it's not as cool without the loop but it's still the worlds tallest woodie, that's gotta count for something right? but you may be right...I was on there website not long ago
