Was home sick today, and was just browsing through some of my photo albums and came across a pic I took during the KIC day in August of 2008.

I harp on here sometimes how great the old, less popular rides are at KI (Viking Fury, WWC,), but take a look at this pic of Congo Falls! I don't even remember taking this picture, and I'm definitely not trying to brag about any photography skills-it was a total accident.

When you look at this, it doesn't even look like it's at Kings Island.

I think it's a shame that you see more and more blacktop and cement at the park, and how much attention to detail they used to be able to put into rides, even smaller ones.

Plus, it's just a great way to share a cool pic of the park!

Very cool photo, thanks for sharing. Has anyone noticed they removed the tree next to the exit ramp/ exit platform.

I believe that the tree by the exit platform of Congo Falls was a casualty of the remnants of Hurricane Ike when it blew through last September.
