Actually, MeTV is a nation-wide network as of December 2010...

Nice to see Bayern Curve, Keggers, Flyers and 'Tiques in action once again (at least on a 50" flat screen for the first time.. lots of detail I never noticed before, like the ugly green and brown water line on the flume.. yuck!)

They seem to have cut out a bit for this airing (Alice's 'Crouquette' remark about ET, etc.), but a classic just the same!

Loved watching the show. Funny how The Racer was refered to as "the roller coaster". Also was nice to see the old rides.

I remember that normally in those days, that is how people would refer to The Racer since it was the only major coaster at the park. For example, when people went to the park, they would usually say " Let's go on The Rollercoaster next.", not "Let's go on The Racer."

That continues. Just last year, I heard a couple say "Let's go on the Drop Tower!"

No, seriously...what was Bavarian Beetle (other than my most favorite ride in the park in 1972)?

Sorry Terpie, didn't mean to overlook Bavarian Beetle which was one of my favs too. ( How I miss that ride.) I'm just saying that I recall that people always seemed to say " Let's go on the Roller Coaster" when referring to The Racer in the years before The Beast opened. . I'm just guessing that maybe they didn't consider Bavarian Beetle on the level of a major coaster.

Let's not forget the venerable "Scooby Doo" coaster, whose yellow beams were visible in a few shots of the show as well.

Amen, Thrill Bisuit. The Beastie be darned, to me that ride will always be The Scooby Doo coaster.

Yes! Finally! I haven't been able to watch this episode in its entirety on TV in a long time (don't remember the year, but it was back when I had a 9:30 bedtime), and I'm finally able to today. This is awesome.

For those not in/around Cincinnati, it's also on Columbus' MeTV channel (4.2) at the same time.

A TV channel... I don't really know how to describe it better. Sort of like TV Land, except on regular (non-cable/-satellite) television. They usually show what I consider "classic" TV--The Dick Van Dyke Show, M*A*S*H, The Bob Newhart Show, The Honeymooners, I Dream of Jeannie, etc. (Oh, and The Brady Bunch, of course.)

(Sorry for the double post.)

Anyone else find it amusing that, in the big rush to get the drawings across the park, the family somehow manages to run from Rivertown to Coney Mall to Rivertown to Oktoberfest to the Eiffel Tower to Oktoberfest to International Street?

EDIT: Not to mention that, once Mrs. Brady picks up the plans on International Street and runs through the employee gate by the restrooms, she delivers them to Hanna-Barbera Land (as the Scooby Doo coaster can be seen in the background)?
