THE RIVER BOAT

Often called the "Riding Dark House" at the park.  The pink chariots
would begin by bursting through the swinging doors.  Darkness quickly
came, as you would be pulled up the chain driven belt.



Several monsters, ghosts, and ferocious beasts would dart out at you
with their flourescent painted eyes and fangs.  The mischevious thing
to do, for the teenagers of my generation, was to jump out of the car
when inside the ride and wait for the next car to come by and jump in.
This idea often brought the attention of the ride operator and your
banishment from the River Boat for the rest of the day!
