I haven't been out to the other Jungle Jim's yet. This gives me another reason to get out there.

That's a great picture of one of the teacup's from the ride!  Looks like a lot of fun for the kids and even for adults! I wonder where this was at in the park?

Random question: Where did you get that awesome shirt? Also, I believe that "Big Apple" sign behind you is from Kenwood Towne Center.

 

 

I saw a person in line with this very shirt today. Oddly enough, the kid seemed to be too young to even remember reruns of any of those shows.

This was in Hanna-Barbera Land

I saw shirts like this at Kohls.  They've got some great T-shirt designs featuring cartoons from the 90s from Nickelodeon as well as Disney Afternoon.  You can see all available designs on their website.

I recall hearing it was broken into bits and scrapped. Unlike the smaller fiberglass figures of SpongeBob, Patrick, etc. (which are lying in fields and can be seen from satellite images), Reptar was probably a bit too big to save.

I have a fondness for real pop art, because if it's short cycle of existence. It's not considered art, so it's disposable to all but the few who really appreciate it.

Not talking Warhol style art, where he glorified another's art, but, for example, the artist who originally designed the label of Campbell's soups.

Think of that cat at his drafting table, making a functional piece of artwork to signal to shoppers, "Not THAT soup- THIS soup.".

And fitting all the text information into that design, that's work.

The company that made that giant raptor probably had a blast, but each worker in the back of their mind knew they were imprinting a memory on each park goer, no matter how temporary the display.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I happened to find my way to Jungle Jim's Eastgate with Hoeter today. 

I had no idea that a piece of  Winnie Witch Cauldron was located in the store....I naturally had to take a couple of pictures when Hoeter pointed it out to me. 

 

 

Also, just realized this is post #3,000 for me though it means little to nothing

 

Just to think that many years ago that this was part of a working ride at Kings Island, if this cauldron could talk.....

Just wondering if the cauldron is still at Jungle Jims.

I was there a month or so ago and can confirm it's still there.

I hope its there next time I go there, because I want to take a picture of it.

Looking at that google image really shows there is a *ton* of space for expansion back there if they ever wanted to.  Building a path back there to another area, thus opening up the closed-off X-Base area, would be nice.
