No love for Bayern Kurve? It was added in 1973, same year Brady Bunch filmed their show at the park.

The list is also missing Cuddle Up, Gulliver's Rub-a-Dub, Kikky Kangaroos (Jetson's Jet Orbiters), Squiddly Diddly (Boo-Boo's Baggage Claim), and Autocat (Huck's Hot Rods). You could also argue that Dodgem and Kings Mill Log Flume should also be included, as the originals were replaced in 1986 and 2001, respectively.

I've seen this mentioned in various other posts, but have never been sure just what exactly it was. Could someone please explain to me what Gulliver's Rub-a-Dub was? I'm so curious!

Imagine White Water Canyon, but without the rapids or waterfalls or jets. Instead, surround the canal with miniaturized version of Hanna-Barbera characters. Guests slowly float through it, looking at the scenes.

A small side note, I don't think the characters were added until 1979 or so, when the ride was refurbished. Before then, the scenes were more generic.

Thanks Department 47, I just caught that myself that I left out the 's in Kenton's and was going back to correct my post when I saw yours! :)

I remember I rode Gulliver's Rub-a-Dub exactly once in my life. We went once a year back then, and every year I wanted to ride it but we never did. One year, my mom finally broke down and let us ride it. After we rode, I could see why my mom wasn't too enthused about it because there wasn't much to it, especially compared to Enchanted Voyage, which displayed the HB characters in a much better way.
