Sorry if this is a repost anywhere. just wanted to share a few pics from my past at KI.

Yes that is one of my paycheck stubb's from 1981...lol

That was big money back in 82 huh lol! I only made $5.25 when I started in 97.

Hell the way the economy is today it would be a blessing to have that paycheck. I actually have a check from back then that i never cashed. It was around $90.00. Would it be worth $900.00 today? hahaha hehehe

Donnie, thanks for sharing your photos…I always like seeing things like that!

I have never worked at the park…so I can’t share anything like that…but here are a few photos of probably my most cherished Kings Island items…here are three of the five 3D postcards that I got at the park way back in 1975...yes I’m old!

What makes these special to me is the fact that my Mom went into about every gift shop to make sure that I had everyone possible…and I think she succeeded…I have never seen more than the five that I own. I do own some rarer items…but to me these items are priceless.

Yes those are so awesome. I never have seen any of those. I have tons of items from back in the day I will have to take pics of and post. It is funny how such simple things from our pasts can mean so much and the kicker is back then those same items wasn't anything. KI for me working there for all those years has shown me that in many facets of life there is learning experiences. Back in the early 80's my twin and I worked in rides and made some of the best friends I still have today. Maybe thats why I have so many fond memories of simpler times. I still see some of my bosses from back in the 80's such as Don Miller and his wife. Those days of the 80's were life altering and I wouldn't trade them for the world!!!

Hahaha The Banana Splits I remember having the poster similar to the first post card.

Those 3D postcards go for quite a bit on ebay.

Stand byme; you have once again made your way to the top of my favorites list with fleagle & bingo riding The Racer. Thanks for the awesome pics.

rotag,

Glad you enjoyed the Banana Splits postcard...here is the other one in the series:

And here is also the last one that I own:

Those are awesome!

I posted a topic about some old pictures I found of my parents a while ago. They think the pictures are from about 1987. Here are some of the pictures.

I-Street

Log Ride

On the second lift hill of The Beast.

^i remember that beastie sign from when i was little, and i didn't know that the second loading station for the sky ride was where slingshot is located.

Kings Island in 1993.....

So the following pictures are from 1993 when I was 4 years old!!

My mom and I by the fountains!

By Paramount Theatre, not sure who this character is anymore.

By Paramount Story

Myself and Huckleberry Hound!!!

My mom and Yogi

Cyndi bear & hong kong fooey my freind.

Chris,

Thanks for sharing your photos....it makes the offseason go by a little faster!

me & a freind waiting in a que line, not sure which one. sorry bout the double exposure.

me , freind, yogi, & i think boo-boo out in front of the ki theater.

me, freind, & 2 aunts. judging by the oktoberfest fencing on the left, & the building in the background; i would have to say its either by what is know outer hanks, corner of woodwork shop, or the festhaus.

EDIT: proof that i was skinny & blonde @ one time.

looks like to me its at the corner of I-street which is where the wood shop is at..great pics btw..I love seeing old pics of KI...makes me remember the memories that I have had in the past when I was really young..

That last picture is in front of the present day Outer Hanks. It was taken from the current seating area that is in front of the building, looking towards where Viking Fury is. The T-Shirt stand would be down the path on the left hand side, with the restrooms at the entrance of Coney mall behind the photographer.

ah ok my bad lol...plus i can only think of ki from the 90's on to present...

ah ok my bad lol...plus i can only think of ki from the 90's on to present...

EDIT: sorry for the double post...the computer is acting up again

I was born in 85, & now that I look closer @ second pic; it still says american heritage instead of paramount or ki. Plus there was a magic show. So all you history buffs would know wether it was still the late 80's or early 90's.

Seeing these pictures make me think back to when I can barely remember. In KIFanChris' pictures on page 1 there is one where you are sitting in what looks like The Flintstone's cars. The ones that just sit on the path and do not move, I remember sitting in those on a rainy summer day in a poncho. I wish I still had those pictures but sadly I do not know where they went.

I spent a lot of time in those non moveable cars! Especially in HB land, but of course I was 5-7 when I visited KI with my family.

Were they actually the Flintstone's cars or were they from The Busy World Of Richard Scarry?

I've got a ton of old photos from the park, but many are from negatives which are still waiting to be scanned. Here are a few from HB right before it became Nick U, in honor of it becoming Planet Snoopy. I'll keep digging for older ones too...

Some more old photos of the Diamondback shop, which used to be my old time photo shop from 1992 till 2005, and a few of the Antique Cars too.

Thanks for the pic of eagles.

Awesome - thank you for sharing your photo memories which brought back some of mine!

I'm not 100% sure because I was like 4-5 years old. Haha
