I visited King's Island around 15-17 years ago, I was very young, probably age 3-6.

I seem to remember there was a Water Ride.. it seems it was called "Keel Boats" or something. I remember riding it with my parents and being TERRIFIED of the height. It was me and my mother and father in one boat, single file. It seemed like it was very narrow.

It seemed so high up, hundreds of feet high.

Of course, I also remember looking up at The Racer in awe of it's height. Now I know it isn't that tall at all! So it was probably just the fact that I was so young that it scared me so bad.

Can anyone help me identify this ride?

I believe that you're talking about Kenton Cove's Keelboat Canal, where Tombraider the Ride is now situated.

ahh yup that's it. i just remembered "Keelboat".

Does anyone know what the height of it was?

I'll leave that question up to a seasoned PKIU veteran.

No, I don`t know what the height of KCKC was. I know the final drop was taller than the Wild Thornberrys biggest drop wich is 40 feet. For some reason I think it was around 60 or 70 feet. I do know that the ride was designed by Arrow Dynamics and was from Arrow`s Hydro Flume line.

sorta ironic we got rid of a very popular reliable ride for tr:no...

I got my post deleted, at Rick would say w00t!

KCKC was around 50 feet drop.

The rides department had their reasons. Which were important.

you wouldn;t want thornberry and KCKC at the same time.

Well the park had Thornberrys (then known as Kings Mills Run) and KCKC from 1973 until KCKC closed at the end of the 2000 season, a total of 28 years. They didn`t remove KCKC solely because they were opening the renovated Kings Mills Log Flume.

When looking at the original map from 1972, I noticed that there was a spot on the map called Shawnee Landing. What exactly was that? Also, I saw Enchanted Voyage, but it didn't look like it had a smurf theme. What was it like?

Shawnee Landing was located about where The Beast station sits today. It was simply a canoe ride. I believe it is the one that the Brady Bunch left Mr. Brady`s plans in. Originally, the Smurfs were not a part of the Enchanted Voyage. It originally had all sorts of Hanna Barbera characters. Then, the park rethemed it to the smurfs in 1984, but kept the same boat transportation system.
