 Attraction Facts:
As guests enter Toon Lagoon, they are surrounded by more than 150
life-size and life-like images, that until now, had only appeared in two dimensions. From
the snow-capped peaks of Ripsaw Falls – home of the first flume ride beneath the
water – to the brunette ringlets framing Betty Boop’s face, Toon Lagoon brings
every character to life in an environment which melts the boundaries between imagination
and reality and invites the entire family to leap into the pages of the Sunday funnies or
romp around the animated universe with some 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."
Toon Lagoon 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’s
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 – 12 foot long tentacles bulging
with water, and whirled into a fully operational boat wash, where they may become
completely soaked.Popeye’s Boat:
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.
Swee’ Pea’s Playpen will be 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 too, 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 Deli: Home
of the Dagwood, will stack up against any sandwich shop. And guests will be
"a-mazed" following a visit to The Family Circus.Back to top |
