I teared up...Time waits for no one...
I started going in July of 1988, so the clothing and hairstyles of 1986 were still widely popular when I began visiting. It doesn't feel like almost 40 years have passed. I can still "smell" the rain and food from that first visit.
Thanks for posting this video. I was 6 in 1986, grew up in Xenia. I can’t say we went every summer but I was there several times as a child. The Smurf ride was definitely my favorite. It is really cool to be able to show my daughter what it was like when I was a kid compared to today.

I'm very thankful for these type of videos. It allows me at leats for a little while, to look into a window into the past. I only wish that I could jump through it and join in sometimes. Just for a little while😔

Thank you for sharing this! My first trip to KI was in 1988
Wow I was there every summer 1990-1992 they didn’t have the animals anymore by then or the weird bucket ride boy things are different now though
I still remember that beautiful smell of LaRosas pizza by the fountain as you walk in and notice hardly any fat people!
34 years ago. I get so sentimental looking at old vdo nothing seems like the old days. Seems like everything was safer. You can walk in the park ride bike til when ever 😢
Thank you SO much for posting this. I used to go to Kings Island once or twice a year and it's so awesome seeing these old attractions that are long gone. I was 10 in 1986.
The memories of the Smurf ride! Thanks so much
Thank you ! Smurfs Enchanted Voyage starts 25:00.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s nuts kings island used to have its own zoo? The tram was for hot days…. AC. 😂😂
Thanks for posting this!
I went the same year! I was 9… great memories. I think admission was $13 per person if I’m remembering correctly. Thanks!
Is this your video? I think I know one of the women in the home video. I believe I worked with her when she worked for a local bank. Did she retire from banking by chance?
Thank you kindly for this. You Don't know how much this means to me. And All the memories
Thanks 😊 for the vdo man brings back so many great memories
I miss this 1986 is when I was there for the first time
Brought back so many memories. Thank you for posting.
Sky lab, king cobra, the beast, Smurf ride….. even my first “big” coaster, screaming demon! I spent many days at KI, as I had a pass several years straight when I was younger. You even got the tram!!! I’ve told my son about the team at kings island so many times, now I can show him!
I drove 6 hours from St. Louis to Kings Island for my first visit in June of 1986. Wow, this video brings back memories.
That was some great old footage. Funny I rode the tram when the park first opened as a 5 year old, but after that it was all about the coasters. I didn't realize how many animals they ended up with.
The Animal Safari monorails near the end are today a part of Jungle Jims market. At the main location they run them to an event center. At the Batavia location there is one parked out front. You’ll also see former Kings Island and Coney Island ride cars at the main location! Just an impressive collection of amusement park items and animatronics that make it a shopping adventure.
Thanks for the memories!! This is the era when we would visit Kings Island just about every summer. By the way, the ride at 1:13 is actually the Kings Mills Log Flume ride, now called Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown. White Water Canyon footage starts at 1:52. And there's also a little bit of footage of the other old log flume ride, Kenton's Cove Keelboat Canal, at 14:45.
I believe this park is better themed than Six Flags 😮!!!??? I was a Hanna Barbarra fan😮😅🎉🎉
Oh my. If this was July 5 1986 that was my 9th birthday. Loved this iteration of Kings Island and miss all these rides
Even if you have never been to this park it will and can bring fond memories for you 😮😅🎉
This is very smooth camerawork! What camera did you use?
😊
11 yrs old when this was filmed lol! My Dad used to take his super 8 and do jus as you did.
When I was a kid in the 70s, all the statues of native americans, settlers, and outlaws on the train ride were real people . Thanks for the memories.
That's what I thought too but I was 5 when the park opened and that's the only time I rode that. After that it was all about coasters.
I specifically remember being on the Skylab (red cart) with my buddy. Smelled like Skyline, all I heard was good times and You Give Love a Bad Name playing through the speakers. I thought I was the luckiest kid in the world! Thank you for uploading. Hate that I just now found it.
How is it possible for an adult male to be this bad with a camera. It’s like he was recording with binoculars.
H no
