I seriously think Rivertown keeps getting drier and drier! Lol! I mean, first the lake is drained, then KCKC is annihilated, finally swan lake is removed. Soon they'll have to change the area name.

thats the point 2009 welocme to drytown usa!

I doubt that the river will return.

Return? WHAT river?

WHERE HAS ALL THE WATER GONE?

If you look at the 1972 brochure, there are actually four bodies of water.

1) Oktoberfest

2) Rivertown

3) Ohio Overland Auto Livery

4) Kenton's Cove

I believe the water in Oktoberfest is still there.

Islands?

Where did that come from?

And we still do not know if there will be water incorporated with the 2009 coaster.

This will never happen. They have a walkway there now for the exit. When they had the lake, you exited out back where the Crypt walkway is now. They will never use that as a walkway again, so there really is no way to put the lake back in. Also, it collected a lot of garbage, and was a mess a lot. The lake was NOT a calamity of Paramount Parks. KECO actually removed it in 1987 when The Vortex was built. That's another reason you wont see the lake back. The lake spilled over into the area of the lift hill of Vortex.
