Yes, the tennis balls were fired at the boats from outside the pool and each boat could fire at the other boats and people sanding around watching and firing back. The best thing was to catch a person off guard on the outside of the pool and fire at them. There was a large protective net to keep the balls from flying out of the pool area. I am basing the time period from when the Scrappy-Doo slide was taken out. I wish I could find some photos of this to show you. It was one COOL ride!!

Hi, I am looking for information on a pay ride at PKI. This ride consisted of a large pool like tank with netting up about 6 feet above the pool that went all around the pool. There were boats that could hold 2 people per boat. One person drove the boat and the other was the gunner. Both positions had a pnematic tennis ball gun. The gunner's position was able to spin 360 degrees and fire in any direction. There were similar guns mounted around the pool so spectators could fire at each at the boats. As well as the boats in the water could fire at the spectators or other boats in the pool/tank. This ride stood behind the Scrappy-Doo Giant Slide within the Rivertown part of PKI. It was up between late 80's and early 90's. Maybe about 3-5 years??? Anyone remember this ride and the name of it??? What ever happened to it??

Hi, New member to the board, but long time PKI fan. I read somewhere that a ride from the defunct Chester Park Amusement Park made it's way to Kings Island and as of 1988 was still going. I am looking for more information as to the name of the ride and present condition: Still functioning or retired. If anybody has some information on this or a link to more information, please let me know!

Hi- New to the board, but have loved PKI for as long as it has exsisted!!! The original post to this was from 2003. The link to the ghost stories no longer works. Anyone have a good link to the ghost stories??? Derkeggers
