Watching this filled me with so much nostalgia. I was a small child in the 90's and I have so many fond memories of going to Kings Island with my dad around the time this was filmed. I remember being horrified of the Klingon's, but my dad made me pose for a picture with them anyway. I distinctly remember always sitting in Jabberjaw's lap on the hanna-barbera merry go round, and being made fun of by my sibling for being too afraid to ride the Beastie. I used to love the antique cars even though for some reason I always feared I would crash into someone on them, and I also remember how much that damn Eagle ride scared me because it never felt safe to me and my sibling would always try and ram her bird cart into mine lol. It was also nice to see Top Gun back when it was Top Gun and all the music and pizazz that used to go with it, as well as The Vortex (the first upside down coaster I ever rode) in it's prime. The only thing this video is missing is the little Richard Scarry sitting area that was around one of the eating places. I used to love sitting and posing in the little cars lol. Anyway, this video was incredible. Watching it made me taste the blue softserve of my youth. Thank you for the memories!
Hats off to the person with the camera, and they did a great job.

Fantastic footage! Amazing documentation of the park in the mid-1990s with lots of defunct rides. Thank you so much for sharing!
What a throwback. Cedar Fair keeps a cleaner park and runs the rides more efficiently. But i definitely miss the Top Gun theming and whatnot
Omg I was there that day! I was only 17
Absolutely fantastic footage
16:20 My favorite ride was the Beast.
That was a super clean yellow Honda CRX in the beginning of video 😂
Yesssss
Riiiight?! I waaaaant it
