Wow, you do SUCH a great job at capturing memories. Old King's Island was the best.

Thanks! I love looking at KI footage from the 70's and 80's with all the Hanna-Barbera theming.

The 1999 fun guide says "...tying the world's record for most coasters in any park on the planet!" You can probably guess who else had 12 coasters.

Come on, get on, come on get on, Cedar Point...

Oh, sorry, just singing a theme song for the park you are talking about =)

I miss these old days of PKI, it just doesn't have the same atmosphere anymore :(

King Cobra was my first looping coaster. I was addicted immediately after. First ride was this very same summer, go figure :D

@cartoonFreak66 Nah..doesn't piss me off. I'm just glad to not have to walk around inside giant commercials for crappy movies!

[cartoonFreak66]

@halation777 I'm 21, thank-you. You can like the new dumbfuck names that Cedar Fair gave the rides, and I can like Paramount's names. I happened to like the movie theme, that's just me. I'm sorry if that pisses you off.

@cartoonFreak66 They are better than The Italian Job, Top Gun, and whatever. You must be twelve.

[cartoonFreak66]

@halation777 *rolls eyes* Oh yeah. And naming the rides Invertigo, Drop Tower, Flight Deck, and Backlot Stunt Coaster are such great names.

[halation777]

@cartoonFreak66 I'm so glad it's NOT "Paramount's" Kings Island. How lame to name everything after a movie.

[cartoonFreak66]

I miss Paramount's Kings Island. Cedar Fair owning it just upsets me...

[kaboda317]
