Paramount's Kings Island Kings Mills, Ohio November 6, 2005 Page Twenty
The Wild Thorneberries River Adventure is your standard log flume that was designed by Arrow Dynamics in the 1970's. By the late 1990's it needed work so Paramount's Kings Island hired OH Hopkins to rebuild the ride.
Along with the rebuild came a new name and tons of theming to Nickelodeon's Wild Thorneberries cartoon. Bond thought it looked pretty cool but with the cool temperatures that were getting colder as the day progressed there's no way I'd go for a ride on it today.
The Vortex looks fantastic by the light of the setting sun. One thing about Paramount's Kings Island is that they really take care to make sure their rides look great. There are no coasters built over old parking lots. Once you're in the gate you are in another world and really that's the way a good theme park should be.
Bond was in a silly mood while I was grabbing Vortex photos. It was so nice being able to get out and have fun with him at a park. He's not the biggest rider but he at least loves spending time at amusement parks and discovering what they have.
