 Welcome
to Kings Island
Kings Island was a
fantasy world filled with fun were the Hanna-Barbera characters go
when they are not on television.
Kings Island comes
from the name of it's location.
'Kings' comes from
Kings Mills, Ohio
'Island' comes
from Cincinnati's Famous Coney Island.
Coney Island
Amusement park was the Parent theme park to Kings Island.
Kings
Island was opened in May of 1972, Cincinnati's King's Island amusement
park is owned by Paramount.
This
wonderful theme park was unique because Paramount had spent an
incredible $4 million on building the international street.
It
had an Eiffel Tower, A 300ft fountain with 240 spouting multi-colored
water jets, A French bazaar, A Swiss Mod Shop,
A
German Hofbrau Haus and the La Casa fuenta, it was the only one like
it in the whole world.
The
Magnificent Eiffel Tower symbolized a new kind of entertainment world
at Kings Island.
you
was able to experience the old world charm of the international street
with it's totally unique European flavored shops and sites
whilst
experiencing the thrills and excitement of more than 100 traditional
rides of the Old Coney Island.
There
were many shops throughout the park which offered Souvenirs and fun
items.
some
of the souvenir shops crafted your items right before your very eyes.
Located
in the Old Coney area, The Racer debuted in 1972 as Paramount's Kings
Island's first world class coaster.
Designed
by John Allen of Philadelphia Toboggan Co. This classic wooden coaster
reaches speeds of nearly 55 miles per hour during it's 2 ½ minute
ride. The Racer features a double track with the angle of the first
hill at 45 degrees. The Racer was the first coaster to turn around one
of its trains, one traveling forward and another running backwards.
Only one train was running this day (the backward train was not
running).
Not
a bad ride, However it's not at the top of my list for Woodies even
though it must have been a great ride in the 1970's
The
line queuing to get a front seat on this ride was usually only about
20 minutes.
