    Thanks for posting. I remember the Indian sky burials and live train robbers; both scared the crap outta me. But I was really disappointed the year the train robbers didn't attack.

    A coworker and I walked down the tracks to the house in the fort when we worked on Whitewater Canyon in the 90s. The house was dilapidated back then, I can only imagine what a wreck it is now. There were old cases of beer from the 70s strewn about. Somebody partied in there. You could climb the towers on the fort but the platforms were covered in raccoon poop. If you look down from the Eiffel Tower towards the fort you can just see the house's roof.

    Nice video! Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s I always had a special affection for the K.I. & M.V. R.R. because the propane burners in the engines were built by the company that my father worked for, Maxon Corporation in Muncie, Indiana.

    Great ride history! Lots of Non -Disney parks tend to remove or convert these old "puffers" into gas-hydraulic (crap) Also the PC scenes tend to get removed. The 1970's theme park trend was NOT to completely circle the park and have it travel into the woods.

    Thanks for the comment! We're very fortunate Kings Island still has its original steam trains and has maintained them as well as they have.

    @@KingsIslandHistory Too bad the same can’t be said for the antique cars. (Though they’re new incarnation does seem nice, they can’t replace what Paramount took away). On the other hand, Kings Dominion still has their original antique cars, but have never replaced their railroad.

    If I had about 3 million dollars I would build something similar but instead of having new engines built, I would buy one or two antique ones.
