From the wife of Faust6688 - THANK YOU so very, very, VERY much for this wonderful footage! My family used to go to Kings Dominion back in the day in the early 70s and nobody ever thought to bring a videocamera. This has brought back so many wonderful memories for me that I actually cried when I first saw this. You also chose great music to accompany. Can't thank you enuff for this wonderful footage, God bless, Peace&Love2U!! :)
@kingsislandforever , well, as I note in the video description, it's from the early 1970's. I don't know the exact year. But probably about 1974-1975.
Thank You ,,, Thank You,,, Thank You,,, I'm ready for april 17th, passes were renewed in november, hotel was booked in jan, My family was there opening weekend 1972, this will be 10 opening day's in a row, Thank you again for the video,,,
I can not believe you Have tape of the Bavarian Beetle do you know there are people Looking for Pictures of it from what I heard!!! I can not belileve it!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
I grew up in Indiana 1 hour from Kings Island and as a child it was my Disneyland.
I remember when i was a child a friend of mine from school that rode the bat before it was shut down for killing people (i think), and he got a shirt that said " I rode the bat" and when he extended the arms there were bat wings sewn onto the arms

Awesome video. RIP Bavarian Beetle, still my favorite roller coaster of all time, and yes, I have ridden all the modern stuff.

One of my favorite youtube videos.
I grew up in Indiana 1 hour from Kings Island and as a child it was my Disneyland.
I remember when i was a child a friend of mine from school that rode the bat before it was shut down for killing people (i think), and he got a shirt that said " I rode the bat" and when he extended the arms there were bat wings sewn onto the arms
and i thought it was the coolest thing ever.

The Bat never killed anyone, it was just a maintenance nightmare.
