There is a giant squid in it though!

I don't much remember going on the old ride [although I know I did] but I remember when it was just a stagnant lake and you could still see the abandoned track and fish on metal poles in the water..it was like that for so long, it was so sad =[ I do remember the bucket rides though! haha it overlooked the Submarine ride and when through the Matterhorn! Good timessss
