    That ride was known to soften the hardest of hearts. And that melody got recycled for the opening theme of Hanna Barbera Christmas special of 1973. Thanks for posting it.

      I knew the song was re-used in the 1977 A Flintstones Christmas, but wasn't aware of the 1973 special. Was the "Hanna-Barbera Christmas Special" its actual name?

    Yes, this was a must ride on hot summer days, it was so coooooool in there. Do you remember the entrance/exit rotated with the boats? Old people (like me now!) would stumble stepping on the rotating platform. I can remember going home and only the line from the jingle that ever stuck with me....”live in my tv”. For a couple years I was convinced something was “living” in my tv. Then it went to Smurfs, which was equally great.

      I can relate to that I am a big Scooby fan and back in 1984 I went to the park with my girlfriend at the time and they had a show playing called Rock and Scooby over by Hanna-Barbera land and every showing that it was going on I would try to stop and see it there was one time when I made my girlfriend even get out of line and ride that we were waiting on I think it was for the Beast and go over and watch the last showing of The Show for that day Chuckles
      The Rockets TV show had Scooby-Doo Yogi Bear and Fred Flintstone in it and it was a 50s theme song where they did some of the dances and songs from the 50s and 60s and Scooby went on purposely be late coming out and getting up on stage stage used to be over where the old classic Corvair Style Style gas powered cars you drove where at those are cool too yeah there never be classic Americana like this again

    Two things I didn't see in this video:
    1. At the end, as you approached the clown, he would "bite down" just before you went through his mouth.
    2. I remember up high in two of the rooms there was a chase - a coyote (or maybe fox) and rabbit? (NOT Bugs and Wile E. Coyote, obviously, as those are WB and not Hanna Barbara)

    • @animeanakin2304

    So happy to have found this video! I have had this vague memory from early childhood of being on a boat ride that went through a bunch of cattails and into a forest where there was a huge man, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out where it was (thought maybe the Columbus Zoo). Then I remembered that there were pictures of me at about 4 years old at Kings Island and decided to look there.

Today it would be Flintstones, Yogi, Scooby-Doo, Steven Universe, We Bare Bears, Adventure Time, Ben 10 and Infinity Train.

    Thank you for posting this! Like so many others this was definitely one of the neatest and coolest rides. As a kid in the 70s & early 80s I was always fascinated how this ride worked. Does anyone have any behind the scenes info about the mechanics of how it all worked. I'm assuming the props were at partially pneumatic? I remember it feeling so cool in there on a very hot summer day normally! Very refreshing!

Really wish they'd bring back Phantom Theater
