Here is a picture of PKI's first day. Why is this sign on the ET. I do not think PF where there on the first day. Was it because the where at the top back then? Here is the site, http://extremepki.houstonthrills.com/history/1972_grand2.jpg

I think the sign meant, KI is here time to not be depressed, but to get happy. I am not absolutly positive about this but I think that is what it means.

It was the name of a song at the time. Very popular. I think.

It was the slogan that year I believe

It was TV show "The Partridge Family" song, I believe. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

I'd answer if I could read the question, how about a translation.

ET=Eiffel Tower. PF=Partridge Family, as in the television show.

Wow, that Yogi Bear looks absolutly terrible. Someone tell Return of Yogi he'll have a fit.

Here is a picture taken on opening day of King's Island. Why is this sign on the Eiffel Tower? I don't think the Partridge Family were there on the first day. Was it because they were at the top (popular?) back then?

(i think that's what he/she meant)

I rememeber that slogan well. The entire marketing campaign was built around Come On, Get Happy. There was a recorded jingle that played on radio and tv stations all summer. If you want to get REALLY detailed, the announcer for those commercials was Jerry Thomas, a moring guy at WKRC radio in Cincinnati. So there you have it.

I don't know much about the PF, but maybe that sign was there to welcome the visitors in a friendly way.

Your right. It is was late at night and I was trying to do it fast.

It was TV show "The Partridge Family" song, I believe. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Yes, you are right.

Awwww.....such *SWEET* memories that sign has brought back!

That "Come On and Get Happy" was KI's slogan back then...I can remember the jingle, tune, and everything:

"Kings Island, Come on and get happy, Kings Island, Come on and get happy...." With their commercials, this line played over and over and eventually faded into a whisper as the commercial ended.

Oh I remember that so well!

Its a good place to get happy!

DEAR GOD.

It looks like the Ole Bear has a hangover.

dang.... I thought the eighties were rough one the bear......man he really aged beautifully though.

i agree i think he will crap a brick when he sees this picture

Yeah it is a great place to get happy, unless you are working. Then its a great place to get a headache.

Workers, you agree? (Certain days only, good days need not apply

*coughBAFFDcough*

Yeah, most days are happy. Some are another word that starts with h.

I disagree with you Tom...I love my job, there are some bad days but when I leave I always seem to be in a good mood as I walk through the park and see all of the smiling faces. You can't let a few issues make the entire day bad, you have to look at the day as a whole and see how you doing your job made somebody elses day really great.
