I used to love that ride and I remember riding it back in the 70's. I've heard a rumour that it was re-located to Canada's Wonderland as the Pharaoh's Eye, which would make sense since it left KI in 1979 and Wonderland opened in 1981... but I'm not sure if that's true. Wherever it went it's probably defunct. Just curious, but does anybody know if it was moved to another park after it was removed from KI?

One must remember it was a far less transparent world back then. There was no Internet...and moving flat rides was not an item that got a lot of attention. Unless someone was personally involved back then, I doubt you will ever know if that was the same roundup at Wonderland, or what happened to the one at Kings Island. I rather doubt that it is, given the relative low cost of new roundups back then and given Canada's strict safety inspections and requirements relative to America's at the time...

No one, besides a few top KI officials know this answer, and if you ask, I doubt you'll get an answer.

In a dark, dark park,

On a dark, dark access road,

In a dark, dark building,

On a dark, dark floor,

In a dark, dark room,

In a dark, dark cubicle,

In a dark, dark crate, lays a...,

Thanks I was just curious since now I live in Toronto (near wonderland) and I've never been able to find a picture of their round-up after looking for one for years. But thanks anyway, you're probably right that it was a new round-up.

And it's one of the best trabant rides i've been on

It looks wonderful. An even more wooded setting than Coney Island's. And on Coney's you can grab leaves off trees!

^ I think the setting looks really good where it is now, adds to the ride.

Does anybody know of any pictures of Pharaoh's Eye at Wonderland?

Casino should be put in vegas that place is 1 big theme park itself.

Other ride relocations...

Zodiac to Wonderland Sydney

Bayern Curve to Wonderland Sydney

Flying Dutchman to Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom

Antique Cars vehicles to Worlds of Fun (I may have park wrong... another Cedar Fair park, at least)

King Cobra trains to Kings Dominion

Flying Eagles to Carowinds

Screamin' Demon to Camden Park

A few others I'm probably forgetting as well.
