This was the scene where (IN REAL LIFE, OFF-CAMERA) actor Robert Reed saved the lives of everyone on this roller coaster. He did not feel that the camera (which was mounted to the very FRONT of the ride) was safely installed onto the ride. (Somehow, they tested the camera first, before shooting the scene, on an EMPTY roller coaster), and sure enough, the camera had broken loose. So somehow when they finally SHOT this scene, it was confirmed beforehand that the camera was, THIS time, securely fastened to the ride. Had it not been for Robert Reed, BOBBY and CINDY just MIGHT have been KILLED at a VERY young age, (as well as perhaps everyone ELSE onboard the ride). KUDOS TO ROBERT REED ! YOU ARE A HERO !

[@scottynofrillztv4234]

Kings Island opened April 29, 1972, this episode was filmed a year later in late August 1973 and is often regarded by the Brady Bunch cast as one of their favorite episodes they ever filmed. The park has doubled in size since this episode was made. The park opened with three roller coasters; The Racer- shown at the end of the video, The Scooby Doo- yellow coaster seen in the background, and Bavarian Beetle- A Galaxi coaster not seen in the episode at all. The park now has 14 roller coasters, with the iconic Racer being one of them, still operating to this day.

Its remarkable to me how these amusement park clients were ready to disqualify Mike's firm with very little regret when the drawings could not be located, and then instantly promised to give them "every consideration" when they were found again. The entire decision turned on the fact, "we have a plane to catch." Few projects of this nature are so transactional. "Yeah, we thought the other firm's design was more creative and inspiring, but we went with these guys instead because we had a plane to catch that day."
