Wow where on earth did you get that footage of the Rainbow from? There's hardly any video footage of that ride anywhere? Only pictures. Blackpool definitely needs to get that ride back. It was absolutely stunning.

For senior skip day, we went to KD and rode SM 3 times in a row. The next day we made "I survived Smurf Mountian '88" t shirts. That's all I have to say.

I was on top gun roller coaster when I was there in kings island

Happy 24th birthday to Valhalla. (I still think of it as "new".)

Had to comment again. This video is sad. People or rather kids will never understand the excitement of turning onto the Cedar Point causeway (spelling? 🙄). I LOVE ROLLER COASTERS! Don't get me wrong, but the Pirate ride, EARTHQUAKE ride, The Router? When you spin & stick to the walls as the floor drops, two water rides, the Log race? It was in the front of the park. You rode a log shaped car straddling a long bench? The DOUBLE, ferris 🎡? I do believe that is why I have an extreme fear of heights now. The TWO STORY carousel 🎠? That was in Frontier town. Yes, I love absolutely love coasters. My fear of heights? I figure if I go, what a way to go. But part of the trip was all the other rides? They take me back sooooo many years 😪😞. I wish I could take my grandkids to the 1977 Ceder Point? What fun it was, what a world it was back then. Unfortunately, those days are gone, & I know they will never, ever return. 😔

Small correction: the part of the park containing Flight of Fear and Orion is Area 72, not 71. It's named after the year the park first opened.

The Banshee sits ontop where the S on of Beast use to be,They hsve a msrker and eternal flame honer the great coaster that obce stood.

Wow. I remember most of these. How old am I?!! 🤣🤣 One of my all-time favourites was the "Wild Mouse" rollercoaster. Why did they get rid of that? The Wild Mouse was truly truly fabulous! 🤔

Underrated

I remember the commercials leading up to the debut of Demon Drop. We used to get SO hyped for new rides every season!

I can't believe wicked twister had an LSM launch in 2002 and even more powerful LSMs in 03 for top thrill dragster. That just blows my mind... Must have been a gigantic jump from 97 LSMs to then... Figured wicked twist was LIM and TTD be hydraulic 😂

I loved Tokaydo Express and The Whip 😀

Great memories of being a kid in the 60s and a teen in the 70s and going at least once each summer throughout. My most vivid memory, though, is circa 2007. My boys, 8 and 6, were thrilled to go and that year ride roller coasters. As we approached on the midway they were talking up a storm. Before entering, they checked their heights against each coaster that they could ride. We by the tickets, enter the park, and the older one announces that he will not ride any coasters. My wife and I alternated going on coasters with the younger one. The younger one went on everything he could and tried to convince the checkers that he should be allowed to pass because he's only an inch or two short.

The Turtle Chase, The Water Chute and The Whip were my fave rides. I miss them.

Damn I feel old now 😂😂

I hope there's a museum at Blackpool for all the rides from the earliest to recent as the fair rides are part of our history thanks for sharing this video.

I didn't know that the cableway station was turned into Lokis Bar! 😱

Always love your Kings Island footage. You do it the best out of all the You Tubers who cover Kings Island.

Apple turnover

King kobra was my favorite ride, i also miss the Apple Turn ovet

Blackpool is a town whose sea is filled with sewage. The pleasure beach is stuck in the 70's, but want to farm data. No wonder it is dying.

Wow, that brought back some childhood memories from the 70's. One ride comes to mind, mainly because at the time it seemed so sketchy, was a ride where you sat on a horse which went round a course on a single rail. I think there were two rails side by side, and there were long drops if for some reason you fell off. I'd like to see footage of that to see if it was as I remember.

I loved the Log Flume

I'm sure I vaguely remember the Virginia Wheel when my parents took us to Blackpool back in the day.

What was that huge enclosed circle like a ferris wheel, I've always wondered

ocean motion originally sat where the swings are on the beach front

Was that Fred Dibnah on the water chute at the beginning?

I’m sure that the workers on Trauma Towers would dread the school trips as we would get somewhat rowdy on it. I say we, I actually mean the rest of the people in my year, I was a saint.

I miss Truma Towers and I just heard problems with "River Caves" (My favourite childhood ride). I hope it survives and reopens!

Another great video! Thank you!!

Forgot how many beloved rides have gone, really miss the log flume, wild mouse, monorail, Space Invader and Noah's Ark! I remember riding the Greatest Show when it was in the casino in 1985, I was only 5 and found it scary!

The statue for the crypt is still in the building just out of view, on an occasion supervisers will take employees in there to see it, also the son of the beast stations is still there

i really hope that banshee does not get lost

Grew up and still live here. Rode The Bat when it was brand new. It was lots of fun and did sort of feel a little “out of control “. When it reopened, it was way slower and boring. I recall that it was usually closed though 🤣🤣

I’m 50 years old and this video made me a kid again. I loved the Haunted River. The King Cobra was the first upside down coaster I ride in my life.

Who else sat on the giants boot as a kid?

long live Gemini!

The bat is still at the park and is in operations

Surprised no mention of Mantis, enjoyed the video tho

So many rides from my childhood are gone

Been going to Cedar Point since 2001 and this vid is definitely a trip down memory lane haha.

KD is nothing without volcano! Also the tomb raider ride… I think we can blame for low sperm counts in men lol it was very rough on the lower regions 😂

I hated to see Disaster Transport go. Although the ride was rather short, the air conditioning inside the building provided a welcome relief on those scorching hot days.

I rode the Demon Drop at Cedar Point, but it was in 1982, not after 1983. I know this because the day we went was the day before our 5 year HS reunion. We graduated in 1977.

For more Cedar Point lost rides check out my follow up video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3OQq2qkj8ZqZtUsi=b1IbbZjEko-1QFDL

A wonderfully nostalgic list that reminds me of all the rides that I used to ride. But… You forgot to mention jumbo jet. The twisting spiral up roller coaster that sat where disaster transport eventually sat, and was the first one to go partial inversions, steel track, etc., so it was a combination of small coaster with a lot of speed. it was great to ride, especially as one advanced up the confidence level to bigger roller coasters. The only problem was riding that coaster when mosquito or fish fly season was at its peak. Because riders would often come back with lots of gunk in their teeth.

Whaaaa? I remember wicked twister. It was so fun.

When they moved Chaos, it replaced Schwabinchen a Mack Hully Gully ride.

MANTIS??

It’s time for CP to get an indoor coaster again.
