Crazy31088 Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I was just now looking at the episode of the Brady Bunch where they were at Kings Island...I noticed a ride that I coudn't identify. It was between Racer and Flying Dutchman, where Skylab used to be. It looked (from the long shots I saw it on) like a roller coaster that just went around in circles. What was this ride?

NoLimits8705 Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I am not sure so don't quote me on this, but I believe they had a roller coaster called BAVARIAN BEETLE. And I believe that it was like a wild mouse roller coaster that went in and out itself and went in circles. But once again I amy not know what I am tlaking about. Also I am 16, which means the ride was probably gone by the time I was able to recognize rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy31088 Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 At first, I thought that too, but I know what the Bavarian Beetle looked like-nothing like this. Besides, that opened a year after this episode was shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingog34 Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Maybe they caught the ride in the construction process... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy31088 Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 Couldn't have been...it was running, besides, Bavarian Beetle was in another section of the park. I found out not long after my last post that it was the Tumble Bug I was asking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOF Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Yup it was Tumblebug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy1979 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Tumble Bug was taken from Coney Island... I actually have memories of riding it from when I was like 4. Also, years and years ago they had a bobsled ride that went in a large circle, but this was located in the Oktoberfest area and not in Coney Mall where Tumblebug was. Also, it's kinda strange that I remember riding so many rides with my parents when I was so young... wondering if they weren't strict with height requirements then. Also, anyone remember before the wodden coasters at the park (or any park) had lap bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcoasterboy1 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 That's right Crispy1979 I was living in Cincy then and recall the name of that ride to be Bayern Curve (bobsled ride that went in a large circle). Was the Bavarian Beetle the Wild Maus ride in Oktoberfest? Can't recall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
