Why was Zodiac taken out, I remember being a kid and wanting to ride it and no one else would. Still looks like an exciting ride that would carry lots of people and give a great view of park. Thanks

Here is a scan of my KI promo brochure that was handed out during Coney Islands closing season of 71. I always get a kick out of the early logo design

Rivertown was originally advertised as Frontiertown, how interesting. I wonder if the Amazement park had a few words about the name, as theirs had opened four years prior.

Just to add a little something, though not much, here's a picture of me and my big brother at Kings Island when we were little. I think I'm about 3 years old here (maybe 4, I'm on the left). We later discovered that my brother was deathly afraid of heights which explains the concerned look on his face. I, on the other hand, was ready to fly.

One of my favorite things at Kings Island. Love that area of the park!

Whoever p***ed dude off needs booted. Its a shame we dont get to see all the great pictures that we would have.

Sorry for bumping but this topic hasn't been continued and i really want it too. It helps me and other KICers get through the off-season.

^^ Sorry, but a failed attempt to have the OP return to this and I don't believe they will continue this anytime soon!

Awww. Well it was a good attempt.

I'll post on his behalf...

Nice Pic! Cant believe Woodstock Express Was yellow at one time

It wasn't. It was Scooby Doo! And it hadn't been reprofiled any, either.

Great pic! My first ride ever at KI. I've never seen that view of it before.

It wasn't. It was Scooby Doo! And it hadn't been reprofiled any, either.

what part did they reprofile?

Unless I am mistaken, like The Racer, Scooby Doo! had an extra dip just before the brake run that was later removed.

It had a tunnel, I believe.

It had a tunnel, I believe.

I don't think the tunnel was added until it was rebranded as The Beastie. I always thought the tunnel was a nice touch and, like The Beast, it felt like it was going to cut your head off upon entering

The tunnel was indeed added when the ride was renamed Beastie.

I do have to say that I love topics like this. it is sad that it didn't work as well this year as it has in the past...but at least opening day is very soon now

By far, out of all of the eras that have been around for that coaster, The Beastie era was one of the greatest personally, the tunnel just made me want to ride again, and again until I couldn't anymore, but sadly that era has long been gone from us, and I am personally wanting a return. BB1 who doesn't always like the color blue on coasters.

Ironically if you think about it, in a way, The Beast has only one son now.

Kind of odd though that the son was born before the father...

Who said it was a son? I could be Beast's little brother or a distant relative...

That would be fairly odd, especially since the coaster started life as a canine.

ayeyiyi. im gonna fly outa here on the wings of a stock of wood. express/rush delivery...

That would be fairly odd, especially since the coaster started life as a canine.

fairly odd? nice pun i bet you didnt even relize you did it :-)

^ Pretty sure Terpy knew what he was doing. Dude is the pun master.

The one ride that I got sick on during my many years of KI attendance-I mean Winnie Witch's Cauldrens not The Scooby Doo Coaster. . P.S how is everyone doing? I've been kind of hibernating the past few months.

Construction of Adventure Expresses 1st lift hill

Where did you find that?
