It's okay! Some of us were alive and watched The Beast being built with great anticipation. And were there the day the park opened to the public, for that matter. Even went to Coney Island in Ohio before there WAS a Kings Island. And have watched Kings Island since day one with more than a little interest.

So, it's a bit more than dry facts in a book to us.

Just wanted to make sure no one was misled!

Have a great night, and enjoy Kings Island!

yep that was 14 years before i was born

I was Three when the park opened, but I went that first year and I still remember that, so I literally grew up (or old) with King's Island. I, too, remember The Beast being built.

Back to the topic, I browsed through this thread and I was surprised that noone mentioned that the old lake, on certain days, reeked of vomit. It wasn't pleasnant in the second set of switchbacks. Does anyone else remember that?
