HI!.. I was going through my music library and decided I would try to share music that I recorded while a technician.  I worked at KI for six years (two years in Food Service and four years in Entertainment).  I also worked part time at 55WKRC which gave me access to the radio spots.

I hope you enjoy.. It will definitely bring back a lot memories! Or shall I say "Good Times at Kings Island"

Wow, thank you so much for sharing! This is extremely cool!

If you would be okay with it and if the admins are interested, I'd love to see these saved and preserved somewhere on the site. These are some really cool pieces of history that I would really hate to revisit down the road only to find every link broken. That's happened a lot here over the years, and I hate it every time I see it.

Truly fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

OMG- Dave_78 just brought back an immense amount of my early childhood memories at KI.

For those that didn't get a chance (or are too young) to experience KI in those early years... this is a TERRIFIC example of the "flair of excitement" it had.   

Thank you so very much for sharing these - terrific!

Working on it!

 

It was brought to my attention that Music hit parade URL was the same as the Land of Happiness..   The URL has been corrected.

Dave_78,

Your entire post reminded me of the Park's mission statement I was taught at PKIU- to make people happy by creating memories.

I worked in Entertainment too (although much later). 

Isn't it powerful how a song - or even just a note - can strike a memory? Thanks for sharing for the "alums" in your era! 

It looks like these links are no longer working.  I would love to get a copy of the Yaba Daba Doo Caperoo show.  Seeing that show is one of my earliest memories. If anybody can list the link again it would be appreciated!

I thought I had already added them to the Past and present Park audio page, but I hadn't. The page has been updated and the audio is there.
