A Kings Island postcard article is coming down the pipeline and I'd love to hear about your memories of that park when the article is posted.<br /><br />D Ticket, In the years I watched The Banana Splits as a kid, I always wondered where the opening was filmed. Thanks.<br /><br />TokyoMagic!, The Skee-Ball building is definitely cool! On The Banana Splits show I remember the opening credits and segments of the serial called "Danger Island" with Jan Michael Vincent, but not much else anymore. That is so long ago to me now.<br /><br />Chuck, I'm so glad you're enjoying these and I'm even more glad to know that you're able to view them now. BTW, I always enjoy reading about your memories and different places you've lived. You write it and capture it well.<br /><br />Melissa, I wonder if the babushka made it all the way through the Shooting Star ride. I've retrieved my share of babushkas and other various items when I was a ride operator at the Boardwalk.K.

We moved to the area 10 years too late to visit this park, but I had teachers who had affectionate memories of the place and were only to happy to share them. I also had a friend who described boating on the Ohio and passing the park, which she said at that time still featured the abandoned Shooting Star.<br /><br />Always a pleasure, Ken.

They still have one hell of a swimming pool, @ 401' x 200'. Yeeesh-!<br /><br />Ken, it's always great to see images from your collection.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
