Ever wonder where one of those old rides we talk about was located? Well thanks to one particular site on the internet called Theme Park Brochures.net, you can take a look at old maps and brochures from almost all major theme parks today.
1979 Beast Brochure, That is one jacked up drawing of Scooby!

I love the old maps. I would love to see a map of the park when "The Bat" opened, 1981 (I think). I was a little girl, but I rode it. It was really a good ride. Too bad it had some things wrong with it. It was just ahead of its time!

I also love Kings Island. I have old maps from the 80s when I was just little up to 2007. I hope this park will be here to show future generations! I have so many great memories there.

It's amazing how truly incredible of a theme park KI was back in the day. It has gone down the crapper just like every other regional theme park in this country. It truly is a shell of its former self...sad.

On the front of the 1984 brochure, what roller coaster is the one that is yellow?
julie :

does anyone know what the honeycomb looking pastry with powdered sugar on top was called? This was back in the 70's. Now they sell funnel cakes (elephant ears), but I am almost certain they were called something else!
Heather :

Julie: I think they are called french waffles. I remember seeing them in Cedar Point last year.

Jonathan: I think it is Screamin' Demon, first looping coaster at KI. Closed a bit before Vortex opened.

hi folks.... I'm Aaron... does anyone know where I can buy one of the old cars from the ride which sat in place of the test track ride before it opened? you know, they looked like old model-t Fords... was my favorite ride as a child and money is not an object!

Jonathan: It was the Screamin' Demon. It was a single loop and that was all. You climbed up about 1000 steps, got on the train, went doun a hill, around a loop, and up a hill. Then you did the whole thing in reverse. It was not worth the effort. When it was closed down, the ride was purchased by Camden Park in Huntington, WV where it sits unused, to this day.

Sharon :

My daughter went to KI yesterday and was telling me about some of the new rides and some of the older ones shut down. I remember going to KI when I was little. Man, those were the days!! I agree with Ryan, the past was the best!!
Jared :

I go to Kings Island about 5 times a year and im going next week for my 4th time, and I couldnt imagine when KI opened up in 1972 with just The Racer as its main attraction. Just think KI started out with The Racer, and now has Diamondback! I cant wait for whats in store for KI in the future!!!

Ashley :

Someone said Screamin' Demon closed before Vortex opened, but there was at least a little overlap. I know because I remember being scared to death to ride an upside down coaster (I was about 10 or 11) so I tried SD first as a test & loved it so much that we immediately ran to Vortex!! I'll never forget that day!!

I have to say Ki was A LOT better when paramount owned it like the crypt was a whole heck of a lot better but CP is adding a few awesome rides like Diamond back and the new swing ride

I have a 1981 map with The Bat. This is the full-sized map and not the type handed out at the parking booths. I have brought it out and looked at it and find it interesting just how much the park has changed.
