February 5, 201313 yr Watching that “Brady Bunch” show from Kings Island got me thinking about all the long-gone rides at the park. Can you help me list them all? Full article: http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2013/02/05/help-me-list-kings-islands-long-gone-rides/
February 5, 201313 yr No love for Bayern Kurve? It was added in 1973, same year Brady Bunch filmed their show at the park. The list is also missing Cuddle Up, Gulliver's Rub-a-Dub, Kikky Kangaroos (Jetson's Jet Orbiters), Squiddly Diddly (Boo-Boo's Baggage Claim), and Autocat (Huck's Hot Rods). You could also argue that Dodgem and Kings Mill Log Flume should also be included, as the originals were replaced in 1986 and 2001, respectively.

I've seen this mentioned in various other posts, but have never been sure just what exactly it was. Could someone please explain to me what Gulliver's Rub-a-Dub was? I'm so curious!
February 6, 201313 yr Kenton County Keel Boat Kanal Wow... three errors in that ride name in the article. It's Kenton's Cove (not County) Keelboat (one word) Canal (with a C not a K). Edited February 6, 201313 yr by XGatorHead 8904

Imagine White Water Canyon, but without the rapids or waterfalls or jets. Instead, surround the canal with miniaturized version of Hanna-Barbera characters. Guests slowly float through it, looking at the scenes. A small side note, I don't think the characters were added until 1979 or so, when the ride was refurbished. Before then, the scenes were more generic.
February 6, 201313 yr Thanks Department 47, I just caught that myself that I left out the 's in Kenton's and was going back to correct my post when I saw yours! I remember I rode Gulliver's Rub-a-Dub exactly once in my life. We went once a year back then, and every year I wanted to ride it but we never did. One year, my mom finally broke down and let us ride it. After we rode, I could see why my mom wasn't too enthused about it because there wasn't much to it, especially compared to Enchanted Voyage, which displayed the HB characters in a much better way.
February 6, 201313 yr Thanks XGatorHead 8904 for correcting KCKC from the blog, that Bugged me too. I miss KCKC.
