I was searching around on Bing, and I found this older website that has interactive 360-degree panoramas of multiple parts of (then Paramount's) Kings Island from 2004. The pictures are on the smaller side, but it's still very cool to see whether you, like me, remember the park as it was then, or if you just want to compare it to how it is now. There are even some shots of defunct rides like the Flying Eagles. (Being the obvious TR:TR fan that I am, I especially enjoy the view of the old Swan Lake, Tomb Raider entrance, and Beast entrance. Just look at all those trees!)

You can see them here.

There are also panoramas of Cedar Point, Geauga Lake, Kennywood, LeSourdesville Lake, and Michigan's Adventure, among others.

Just thought I'd share! Hope someone enjoys this as much as I did. General park atmosphere shots from back then do seem pretty difficult to come by (or at least they do when I look for them!)

do you need some special software to view or something? its just showing a small toolbar twards the top when i let the page load

In one of the Coney Mall ones, it looks like what is now Mix It Up was actually... open?

Woah, sorry I missed this post! To view them, you do need Java. I forgot to mention that in the OP... Sorry!
