It's 2014 (Tomorrow) and just under four more months until Kings Island opens its gates.

For the 4th year, each day a "vintage" Kings Island photo from my massive collection of photos will be posted to this topic. The photos come from just saving images from the web over the years. (Until February)

Most of the photo's I will be posting are not my personal photos and I do not claim them to be mine. If anyone has a problem with a certain photo they wish not to be posted or anything else feel free to "Personal Message" me on KIC rather then posting in the topic.

If you have photos of your own you'd like to contribute feel free to "Personal Message" me or simply add to the topic discussion.

Try not to quote photo's that are directly above your post, its annoying.

And I'm not on a first name basis with any of you so please don't call me by name.. its weird.

And And I didn't die...

It's about to go down! (:

Looking forward to the 2014 edition.

Great to see this is back! looking forward to the 2014 edition of this masterpiece.

Glad to see you start posting again.

The "Flashback Till Opening Day" topics are always fun to look/read through.

Awesome to see you back! Can't wait to see what you got.

Awesome! So glad you are continuing this!!!

Wonderful! I was very sad when last year's edition abruptly stopped without warning. Hopefully this year's won't suffer the same fate.

Photo #1 Son of Beast construction.

I will probably only be able to continue this topic for a few weeks, but I have a friend who would gladly take over they said.

Thanks for posting this topic again TG1993! I love these history photos. I have a few that I may add from Coney as well...

Thanks for posting these this year!

Most people like to save the best for last, but you came out guns blazing with that incredible picture of Son of Beast.

Nice picture TG93

Photo #2 - puppet tree - hanna barbara land

That is horrifying

Can someone explain to me exactly what I'm looking at here? And what's with those hideous outfits...oh, the 70s, that's right...

The StubHub Ticket Oak was much happier looking in his younger days...

Congratulations. You have won the internet for today.

I absolutely loved the puppet show tree when I was a kid!

I never saw puppet tree. I missed out.

I don't remember this at all. I guess it's a good thing. I would have had nightmares. It's a bit creepy. I suppose they could put this in at GWL and it would fit in.

Photo #3 - KI Campground Map

Seems like Kenton Cove had a very long and important road.

Oh, the things I would do to have that campground back. So many marvelous memories.

Photo #4 - night of fire (4th of july fireworks) - Crazy to think the park would close major attractions and keep them closed.

Photo #5 - Vortex

Wow, that is one incredible picture.

Heck no, I wouldn't be standing there! But awesome pic!

Well something like that wouldn't happen anymore I bet...

Fall protection, ect...

Go OSHA

Well something like that wouldn't happen anymore I bet...

Think again.

You can tie your-self off all the time it would take forever.
