April 24, 201115 yr I searched for anything like this and nothing popped up. So looking around the park has anyone seen evidence of the Paramount years? For example, at Backlot Stunt Coaster on the "advance" station (as of last season) you could see the Italian Job: Stunt Track face plate on the drive box. Side note--at Kings Dominion there is also a IJ:ST faceplate on the transfer track drive box. What have you seen?
April 24, 201115 yr I've caught a few paramount trash cans. I doubt they'll be there this year though.
April 24, 201115 yr If you look inside some of the phones in the ride stations, I know for sure Adventure Express last year, some have the Paramount's Kings Island logo in them.
April 24, 201115 yr Some of White Water Canyon's boat's still have the Paramount logo printed on the rear.
April 24, 201115 yr Kings Dominion has lots of things still Paramount!!! I was there 3 weeks ago went in to the main shop on I-Street lots of the price tags had Paramount parks um FAIL!!!! I bet you I can still find 20 things at KI that still say Paramount!!! thats if you know the park very well im talking Back areas to.
April 24, 201115 yr Guests don't see back areas....and there is no apparent reason Cedar Fair, with its limited capital funds, should be changing anything just to omit the Paramount logo in the back areas that it doesn't absolutely have to.

Its amazing what you can see from Kings Dominions Tower Terp .
April 24, 201115 yr I think the signs you see walking from the main gate to BB parking are funny: "Associate Backlot Parking". Ahem.
April 24, 201115 yr Not that you'd notice, but at least one trash can has a Paramount logo under the Cedar Fair label.
April 24, 201115 yr I've also seen things like a Scooby-Doo in the pass pocessing center, but that isn't really Paramount.
April 24, 201115 yr Unless they've gotten new ones, the mousepads in Guest Relations say SDATHC and PKI.com on them.
April 24, 201115 yr If you look inside some of the phones in the ride stations, I know for sure Adventure Express last year, some have the Paramount's Kings Island logo in them. A year or two ago I noticed that Woodstock Express's phone thing had the OLD Kings Island logo: like this
April 24, 201115 yr I think there's some other things like that. KI's phone numbers are all 513-754-XXXX. 754 is PKI on a phone keypad.
April 25, 201115 yr Author lol-ing at the Action Theater picture. There is a lot of behind scenes things as pkiboy said. A lot of the maintenance trucks have partial PKI logos on them still. Anything else? Edit: I just remembered on top of the Drop Tower queue house, the Drop Zone paint scheme is on there.
April 25, 201115 yr So looking around the park has anyone seen evidence of the Paramount years? Yeah. The Crappy food is still there and the entertainment where they offer a few shows, but all it is is people singing.
April 25, 201115 yr If you look closely on the maintenance trucks you can see where they have peeled off the Paramount Mountains, very clearly actually. Someone has already mentioned it but White Water Canyon still has the old cutout of the mountains on it.
April 28, 201115 yr But their local number was always 754 even before Paramount! Before Paramount, the park shared the local 398 prefix. 754 came along a few years after Paramount bought the park.
April 28, 201115 yr But their local number was always 754 even before Paramount! Before Paramount, the park shared the local 398 prefix. 754 came along a few years after Paramount bought the park. Interesting. I figured 754 spelling "PKI" was just a coincidence. Guess not!
May 1, 201115 yr Author Jasper! Thanks for putting a picture up! That's the face plate I was talking about. It was covered with tape before...as a "fix" to any legal issues but it was picked off.
May 1, 201115 yr I am not sure if they are still there but a few years ago there were still some old Tomb Raider signs on the exit path of Crypt.
