As
guests enter Toon Lagoon they are surrounded by more than 150
life-size and lifelike images that, until now, had only appeared
in two dimensions. From the snow-capped peaks of Ripsaw Fails -
home of the first flume ride beneath the water -- to the
brunette ringlets framing Betty Boop's face, Toon Lagoon brings
each character to life in an environment which melts the
boundaries between imagination and reality, inviting the entire
family to leap into the pages of the Sunday funnies and romp
around this animated universe with many of the world's best
loved characters.
Dudley
Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls
Dudley
Do-Right must save Nell from evil Snidely Whiplash in this
rip-roaring flume ride named after the fictional city from the
popular 1960s cartoon, Rocky and Bullwinkle. Guests
assist the guileless Canadian Mountie and embark on a wild and
wet rescue attempt around a 400,000-gallon lagoon culminating in
a drop through the rooftop of a ramshackle dynamite shack and an
explosive dive 15-feet below water level, it is the first flume
to ever send riders plummeting below the water surface.
Popeye
& Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges
Popeye's
archenemy Bluto is the proprietor of this establishment so it's
a certainty that something rough and tumble is going on here.
Guests soon discover they are in for a bumping, churning,
twisting, turning white-water raft ride with a top speed of 16
feet per- second. Before the whirling is over, the raft and all
12 of its occupants have been squirted with water by guests
firing from water cannons aboard Popeye's Boat, spun into an
Octopus Grotto where they encounter an 18-foot tall 14-foot wide
creature with five 10 to 12-foot long tentacles bulging with
water and whirled into a fully-operational boat wash where they
may become completely soaked.
Me
Ship, The Olive
Popeye
the Sailor Man has opened his three-story boat for all his pals
to enjoy. Situated on the water's edge of Toon Lagoon, this
family-friendly interactive playland features dozens of
participatory activities from bow to stern. Sweet Pea's Playpen
is crawling with pint-sized guests while older siblings team up
at the Cargo Crane in an attempt to drench unsuspecting
Bilge-Rat Barges riders. Whistles toot bells clang and organs
play at the touch, pull or push of a button in this unsinkable
discovery environment.
Comic
Strip Lane
Beetle
Bailey, Hagar The Horrible and Krazy Kat are just three of the
nearly 80 characters who inhabit this lively jaunt through some
of the most endearing comic strips of all time. Guests can
literally visit locations only imagined by millions of comic
strip readers, such as Cathy's Ice Cream Parlor. Blondie's: Home
of the Dagwood stacks up against any sandwich shop and guests
are "a-mazed" following a visit to Pandemonium Cartoon
Circus.
