Oldiesmann Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I was looking through the historical photos, and vaguely remember riding the Witch's Cauldrons ride. Where exactly was this located and when was it removed? I looked at the 1989 park map and it wasn't on there, so I must have been fairly young when riding it (either that or I'm remembering Der Spinnin' Keggers). Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 It was directly off the west corner of Enchanted Voyage (now SDATHC), right next to the Scooby Doo (Now FOC). Here's the link to the picture in the History Section (Reggie Zippo): Enchanted Voyage Quote
Oldiesmann Posted April 30, 2009 Author Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks for the info. Nice pic too Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 It was where Backyardigans' Swing-Along is now. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks for the info. Nice pic too You're welcome. Reggie Zippo gets the credit for the fine photo. This site has some of the greatest pictures from days gone by. Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Just wondering is that compass still on the roof of what is now SDATHC Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) The compass is long gone. WOOHOO! 1,000th Post! I've gone from Senior to Star! (And here I thought all the stars left with Paramount... ) Edited April 30, 2009 by XGatorHead 8904 Quote
dare-to-fly Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 The compass is long gone. Another of many details that have gone by the wayside in favor of more obvious things. It's in detail heaven playing with the red, white, and blue color scheme on Racer, The Beast's paw prints, Flight of Fear's own sign, and Flight Deck's paint. Quote
markr Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 The Witch's Caudrens is the one ride in my 37 years of going to KI that I got sick on. Quote
violakat03 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Witch's Cauldron is the ride that trained me to never get sick on rides. When I was very young, my mom used to take my brother and I on it (and Der Spinning Keggers) and spin us as fast as she could. I have never once gotten sick on a ride, and I point to this as the cause. Quote
markr Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I don't think it was a coincidence that the Witch's Cauldrens were right near the first aid station. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 It's a shame that so many classic rides have disappeared. I don't know if I remember Der Spinnin' Keggers, but that looks like it was a lot of fun as well. Quote
Dvo Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Those rides are fun. I went to Disney World and vowed to spin the tea cups faster than they've ever been spun. And I had some solid spinning going, but I also had horrible blisters on my hands... worth it? I dunno... Quote
Oldiesmann Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 Were they removed as part of an HB expansion or was there another reason for their removal? Quote
