Celebrating 10 years of KICentral!

I came across this video on YouTube. It's a little campy, but I'm a little older and wiser now. It's incredible what has changed in the past decade.

Amen.

To another decade!

That's a pretty sad song for what's supposed to be a happy video! Hah...

It was put out a day after the park closed for the season, so it was supposed to be kind of a "looking back/sad it's over" tone.

Yes, it was meant to be more maudlin than happy.

Whats that one coaster at 1:01? I've never seen it before!

Reminds me of the final Coney Island videos.....plus it is incredible what has come and gone since 2004.

And who.

Whats that one coaster at 1:01? I've never seen it before!

That's Son of Beast!

I think he knew that.

The odd thing? It wasn't 2-9.

Ah, the 'tiques.

How I do miss thee.

And DANG! What is that top speed for KI/MV RR?

I think he knew that.

The odd thing? It wasn't 2-9.

You're right....I didn't catch that!!!

SonofBeast-SonofBaconator?

Flying Eagles!

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days
Oh, yes, those were the days

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same...

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days
Oh, yes, those were the days

I have some footage too its from 2003.

Good God, that was depressing.

The "American Idiot" album is that old? Those little kids I took to KI while we listened to it are teenagers? Where does the time go?

Great video!

Thanks for reminding us of several things i know at least several of us wish was still there :-( eagles, cars nic parade etc, it just looked cooler back then :-)

(I'm doing this on purpose)

I think Vortex looked a lot smoother to me back then. (it also looked a lot higher off the ground!)

Very nice video. Thanks for posting. I liked how the lyrics "here comes the rain again falling from the stars" lined up with the water falling from the tower (at 0:46).

Spongebob at 1:46 scared the crap out of me! But that was a very good video!

Very cool extremely. Wow, where'd nine years go?

I really miss the Flying Eagles.

Thanks for sharing Ryan! As Terpy said, here is to another 10 years of KI and KIC memories!

Ahh flying eagles. How we miss you...

Flying Eagles, 'Tiques, Sonny with a loop, the Nick parade... Those were fun times

Swan Lake, orchestral music on International Street, the Happy Land of HB, Jeff Seibert and his vigorous almost overhyping promoting, the magic of the movies meeting the thrills of a lifetime...

Didn't the enthusiasts refer to the flying eagles as scooters?
