Kings Island: Fun in the Making - 50th Anniversary Archives 

It’s nice seeing the original workers and hearing how excited they are to build the park. I hope they’re still alive to see it today!

Great memories of watching the park come together. I've been searching for the video of the Kings Island 1976 Bicentennial Celebration from July 4th that aired on CBS and hosted by Ed McMahon. I saw it when it aired in 1976 and again from a 1 inch tape that Kings Island Live Shows Department had. Would love to view it again. Please check if it may be found in the park's archives. Thanks !

I wish I could be there in 1972, to see the new Coney Island 2.0

I'm just reminiscing about how empty I 71 used to be.. Edit: Anyone remember Evel Knievel jumping the busses in the kings island parking lot in 1974?!👍🇺🇸

❤❤❤❤ this was so cool to watch

This is awesome. Like a time machine.

Love this !! Opened up when I was a year old!

I wish I was born in the 60s and 70s so I can see the opening of this park

Very interesting to see how the park was when it opened. And all that uncleared land by the Racer where Area 72 is now

How I miss the original Enchanted Voyage. KI needs a resort hotel on site.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PARK HELL YEAH!!!!

This was so cool to watch! Though I must say, that 3:45 the representation of Fred Flintstone is kind of scary lol

From The Funtastic World Of Hanna-Barbera era to The Good Grief World Of Charlie Brown And The Peanuts era, Kings Island sure has come along way!

thank you for this post!

KI50 BABY.....GET EXCITED!!!!

Kings island is my favorite hometown amusement park I wish.the train that take people to the park and they cars after long day at the park

I would be cool if Kings Island would put the model on display if they still have it.

So cool

"The children of today won't be able to ride a train anymore?"

Bring back this park
