Kiddie Boats-Fun little boats that circled around in a trough of water, complete with a bell for youngsters to clang away.

Riding the Flying Scooter ride - Here is an excerpt from a person that had this ride down to a science (Big Grin) !!
"Nothing beats an interactive ride, not to mention an an unpredictable ride that frightens the heck out of those riding AND watching! It is worth the time to practice a few rounds on these. A Scooter master will be able to shift his or her weight and use the right amount of turn to the rudder fin to create a little slack in the cables. Once going, you should be able to act like a swing set on steroids.......that is, turn your rudder fin out just BEFORE coming in all the way. That will make the slack of the car catch up. If done right, your car will come back in towards the ride, slow up a bit while the beams above get ahead of you, then WHACK!! You and everyone in a 5 mile radius will hear and feel the snap of the cables as the car catches the momentum again, thrusting it outward for yet another turn!!!
Editors Note: We just gotta love this guy!
