Whoa!  I so remember that commercial as a kid!

[orient express]

it looks so much better than it does now.

[sdcforever]

Holy cow!  That's great, and it looks so retro!

[Coaster]

Wow! That is pretty sweet.

I miss the ball pit! 

[Swoosh]

Where was that ride that they were "paddling" on located at?

[History Buff]

It was the Greedy Brothers ride on Lake Silver.  It started near the scrimshaw place and we paddled the boats around the target area that's now part of Geyser Gulch (You can see the structure in the video.).  I think the diving bell may have still been in operation, as I remember thinking this was the wettest ride I'd ever been on at the time.

I think this was early 80s though, Old Guy, not late 80s.  Are you sure about your dates?

You're right. 1983 It only ran one season, Just before the Lost River was built.

[Swoosh]

OK.  That's probably why I don't remember it -- especially if it was only there for one year.

The nice thing about it was that it was character driven.  The characters were on the boats with us, telling us where to go and heightening the experience.  It was no more than a canoe ride, though, so there wasn't much infrastructure other than the geysers and things that soaked the riders.

OMG!  i forgot the brown balls!  And the rope maze!
