Forum » Retro Places » I Love The 80's @ King's Island

Over the weekend, a long time friend (since the 2nd grade) and I went to King's Island for Opening Day.

The crowd was quite large, but thanks to our "Fast Lane" wristbands, we got to bypass the LOOOOONG lines and hop right on all our favorite coasters (The Beast, Diamondback, Vortex, etc.).

Anyways, we were making our way down the main drag when this caught my eye:



AWESOME! So, we ventured up to the window display...



Lots of used 80's goodness in there. Naturally, I had to go in.



It was a bit packed in there. Apparently I was not the only one at King's Island that day looking for a nostalgic fix.



GIANT Rubik's cubes are sweet.



All the 80's inspired tees you could want.



^ That one was my favorite.



Zoltar predicted that I would tick a lot of people off as I walked by them while they sorrowfully waited in hour long lines.



^Available for those who want their hearts to explode after riding The Beast.



^Available for those who want to vomit after riding The Beast.



^Available for... actually I'm not sure who would actually buy this.



My plan was to use that Flux Capacitor to travel back to the beginning of the day and ride all the rides all over again... but I was missing a Delorean DMC-12.



If only I had brought that extra $125 bucks...

What an awesome little shop. It was a pleasant surprise for sure, and just capped off an already great trip. Just thought I would share it with you.

I still have that Star Wars figure case of Darth vader somewhere. The one in the window. I wish there was a store like that in the mall

Even the Ghostbusters logo is held in higher regard apparently.

The Ghostbusters games for the NES and Genesis also eliminates Winston. It seems that they decided to do the same with the 16-bit T-shirts.

Poor Winston just gets no love at all.

That stuff about Winston probably had to do with licensing or he just didn't want to be involved. Or it's racist. That works too.

Yup. That one. If you enter the gates, the store is on the left path along the fountains. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Glorious.
