Take a nostalgic trip back to Rivertown as Tower Topics explores the forgotten legacy of Kenton Cove’s Keelboat Canal, one of the most beloved family attractions in Kings Island history. While legendary rides like Vortex, King Cobra, The Bat, and Son of Beast often steal the spotlight, this innovative log flume entertained more than 40 million riders during its 27-season run. Join Don Helbig and Ryan Suhr as they dive into the ride’s unique turntable loading system, dual-drop chutes, surprising airtime, rich Rivertown theming, and the memories that made it a fan favorite before its removal in 2000 to make way for Tomb Raider: The Ride. If you love Kings Island history, vintage attractions, theme park nostalgia, and behind-the-scenes stories about lost rides, this episode is a must-watch for every amusement park enthusiast.Online Store: http://store.towertopics.com Become a Tower Topics Youtube member for great benefits and to support the show: https://www.youtube.com/@TowerTopics/joinJoin the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1BAs58dzCc/?mibextid=wwXIfrCheck out the podcast version: https://linktr.ee/towertopicsLeave a voicemail or text message: 513-399-7538Listener Questions: Hosts[at]TowerTopics.comWatch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@towertopicsCheck out Don's blog: http://www.themeparksbydon.comFollow our Field Reporter, Noah: https://www.youtube.com/@NoahTheFieldReporterWant to make podcasts like ours?
