Early 2000’s. I’m going to say around 2003/2004.

Though previously announced to be moved to another venue, Summerfair will return to Coney Isl… er, Riverbend Park. Edit: Riverbend Park has now been changed to Coney Island per Summerfair and MEMI. Not sure if any of that is significant, but an update nonetheless:

There was also, for a short time, and Indiana Jones knock off. “Secrets of the Lost Temple.” I enjoyed that one quite a bit. Wish that space was in use still. We need more dark ride/indoor attractions!

They’re gonna cut an extra 50 feet from the first Orion drop to reclassify it as a hyper.

As far as reaching the infamous end of service life, I’d say Invertigo. As far as new ride replacements, I feel like something has to becoming to the Boo Blasters space sooner than later.

Ah, somethings happening at Fort Cooper! Haha. Good times. Hard to believe how long ago that was. Firehawk was never the best, but definitely holds a special place in my heart as it was the first big installment of my enthusiast “career” and as a member of KIC. Great episode!

No wonder they have a waiting list for potential employees! They value their associates in a way that could never be expressed financially! Unbelievable!

Anyone in the marketing industry who is familiar with the content they have recently produced would have no desire to apply for the position. Like the Camp Snoopy construction update “video” from the last day or so. Ha. If you have a lackluster dinner at a restaurant and you have legitimate complaints about the experience, should we expect you to apply to be the new head chef? Such a tremendously flawed argument that’s thrown around too much.

Noasterstock 2024! So, who actually thinks the event will happen in 2025? The park doesn’t owe anyone anything, but this comes across as a slap in the face to many. It could’ve been a perfect opportunity to make a kind gesture to the enthusiast community that could’ve done wonders to repair the strained relationship between this/other communities. Event aside, I’m just knocked out by the complete display of incompetence from Cha… er, The “Kings Island Team.” I work in a similar role/field and the type content and actions displayed would probably get me fired. Just a bad look, dude. KI has the ability to do much better. And I know they will. I love the place and hate to be so aggressively negative especially after they’ve done so much, so well the last few seasons. Pretty disappointing.

Save AE at all costs. That’s all that really matters.

I’ll second this!

Absolutely wonderful. Love that dedication. The work is fascinating. The KI&MVRR is the crown jewel of the park, in my opinion.

I’m sold, honestly. I just want that’s section of the park to get its overdo overhaul. This could be really cool and exciting if done right.

Man, I think I’ve got whatever cold you have. *cough* PT *cough*

Couldn’t agree more! That era where the Nick and Hannah Barbara characters coexisted was pretty special. While I wouldn’t want the park to go “full Six Flags” when it comes to IP integration, but I’d love to see more characters utilized throughout the park.

Fingers crossed it happens in the next two years. It’s waaaaaay overdue for an overhaul. The ride looks pretty terrible (effects, guns, etc.) and the park could do incredible things with that space.

Regardless of certain questionable opinions, people do, in fact, care for the history of the park and Cincinnati and would like to see it saved. Those online, across news sites, and social media justifying and/or celebrating the closure of the park are in an embarrassing minority. Here’s to hoping for a brighter future.

And Mystic! Makes me excited for the future of the park and the potential thematic experiences it could offer.

I feel like the popularity of the 3 Point games has decreased a lot over the last few years. I wouldn’t hate to see them go.

Yeah, and my AIM screen name from 2008 was on my profile until not that long ago. Doesn’t mean that it was up to date. Get a life and quit being a creep. You don’t know where I live and it wouldn’t be any of your business anyway.

(No) Apologies for the double post: FullSizeRender.MOV

I’ll chip in $300 for a Home Depot truck to get them back to Cincinnati. If KI won’t “take” them, we can put them in my backyard and have KIC parties. I just ask that you guys bring hot dogs and hamburgers so we can do it right. Mostly joking.

If you have a moment to voice your concerns instead of complaining about food plans and Intamin, you can do so here: Be respectful and kind!

Happy Holidays, all! That much closer to opening day!

Looking forward to getting on this one in a month!
