I thought the gum and graffiti was disgusting and made the park look bad. I was taught to spit your gum out in the trash and not vandalize or write grafitti on walls because it destroys the park and makes it look bad and dirty.

Well I've never done it personally, but I laughed when I saw it or was amazed at how much gum could be put on a wall. I was taught better then to vandalize.

I remember waiting in line on the log ride and watching the que line TVs they had. Also the bees that used to fly around you while you wait to get on! I sure do miss it.


Remeber how long the lines for it used to be before Grizzly Run and Shipwreck Falls, man I miss it.

With the coin-op remote control boats underneath!

Don't feel too bad, I just dated myself.  Razz


Don't feel too bad... I used to run that game (and the remote control cars by the Corkscrew)... there, I dated myself too.

Oh wow...I do remember those coin operated boats... (course in my lifetime it didn't last long) but I used to play with those when I was real little. I would beg my mom to let me play with the boats.

Weren't there coin-operated boats on the Sea World side  at one point too? Maybe it was still Sea World at the time. It seems like I remember the boats, but I can't picture where exactly they were.

Yes, the coin operated boats were also at Sea World and always seemed to thrill me more than seeing the animals.  Of course I was about 8 years old at the time.

The coin operated boats were across from Happy Harbor Nets at Sea World. That was a great park and I will always remember the good times at GL and SW.

Does anyone have any info on this ride. What I mean is, has it been torn down yet or will it be moved or what?

The plunge and also the carousel?  I hope they at least repaired the plastic sheeting that served as it's "storage" housing.

It's been discussed on other threads that the Pepsi Plunge is no longer visible and is assumed dismantled.  Can anyone confirm if it is indeed gone?
