Past shows or Movies Filmed in Kings Island
The Banana Splits in Hocus Pocus Park (11/25/72), filmed at Cincinnati's King's Island amusement park. This was one movie filmed in the park. But it is very hard to find a tape of the show. Anyone have any ideas where to find a tape of it?

2nd Theme Park
When Paramount frist bought Kings Island there was a rumor of a Paramount Studio where Action Zone is today. The problem with Kings Island and other parks like it that they are seasonal park and thats why you do not see rides like the ones like at Disney or Universal.

Banana Splits in Hocus Pocus Park filmed in Kings
Hanna-Barbera's Banana Splits appear in the only entry which features extensive live-action sequences. The Banana Splits in Hocus Pocus Park (11/25/72), filmed at Cincinnati's King's Island amusement park. The Splits are tour guides who offer to take a little girl, Susie, on a tour of the park. The little girl spies a runaway balloon and tries to retreive it. The balloon floats away, and right into a billboard advertising an area of the park inhabited by Hocus and Pocus, magicians with special powers, and an evil witch. As Susie and the Splits enter the billboard they become animated characters and encounter the witch. The witch captures Susie, and the Splits with the help of Hocus and Pocus must fight a mechanical knight to gain her freedom. Does anyone know where I can find a tape of this?

What if the orgianl owner owned KI still
Sorry chief, Hanna-Barbera was sold to Turner then The WB. So we would have that Hanna-Barbera. P.S. Hanna-Barbera doesn't own the Smurfs. Peyo, the creator did. They just licensed the characters. Viacon owns the Nick Toons and Paramount. Why did Taft sell the park in the frist place?????????????????

Beastie ?
I rode The Beastie or Scooby Doo as it was called when I was a kid. You got one trip and had to get off. Now the Scooby Zoom you got to go around two times. I wish the park would paint The Beastie(Scooby Doo) to the old color theme yellow and red. They changed the name of The Sooby Doo to The Beastie in 1979. Hope that helps

WinterFest Coming back?
The last year they had WinterFest season pass holders got in for free. If WinterFest does comeback I am not sure what the park will do. From taking the survey I did don't think Winter Fest will cost that much to get in to the park. Like I said not sure if winterfest will comeback the park is looking into in right now.

WinterFest Coming back?
I don't thing PKI should open any of the coasters outside. I went to media day for Tomb Raider The Ride and it was 31 that night. They had two coasters open The Racer Front and The Beastie. I rode both of them and I never felt so much pain in my hands and face before from the cold wind. I do see them opening open Filght Of Fear and Tomb Raider The Ride both of them do have heat.

WinterFest Coming back?
I got a e-mail asking me to take a poll to see if I wanted Winter Fest to come back from PKI. I am not sure when or if it will come back to PKI but I was happy to see the park was looking into bring Winter Fest back. Some of things on the poll asked about the old Winter Fest and rides. Also about a winter show and food. If anyone knows more about Winter Fest Coming back at all please tell.

monorail
from what I have heard about the monorail the fact it was the only pay for ride at the time and fixing it was a smart move to take it out. The monorail was not like Disney and was not that high off the ground. You can still vist the monorails from PKI at Jungle Jims out back in the parking lot. The frist year Top Gun was open you had to walk pass the monorail to get to the it and the monorail also took up too much room for one ride.

Discovery Channel Extreme Rides 2003
Kings Island sometime uses the H-B characters in the Picinic grounds. We had George Jetson this year for Union Day. P.S. Didn't there used to be a huge statue of Flintstones Dinosaur in Hanna-Barbera with Fred.

what ride would you most want to see PKI get?
I would like to see a water coaster in the new water park. I would like to see PKI get a new ride that looks like a clasic ride that was once in the park. Just for flat rides.

Coney Island and Kings Mill Flume
I know from a Fact that The Shooting Star is not that The Racer or any part of it, and The Scooby Doo (Beastie) is not the Teady Bear Rollercoaster. If you read the last pages of the book writen by Charles Jaques Jr. He explanes it all. Italianchef do you know when the PKI History book will becoming out?? I have heard this summer last year, but have not heard anything this year.

Coney Island and Kings Mill Flume
I would should like to see a old coaster from old Coney Island back in the park. I know it mite not be as thrilling for the young people of today, but would be neet to ride. The Teddy Bear would still fit back in its old spot and I am not sure on the other rides. If you like to look at any of the pictures I have in my Cincinnatis Coney Island yahoo group here is the link http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coneyislandc...cincinnatiohio/

Coney Island and Kings Mill Flume
If Coney Island does add a log flume, among other rides where would they put them. The Shooting Star would be where River Fest is today and I don't think they would what to take seats away at something making money.
