This is by far one of my favorite episodes. I really like the change of scenery and I like parks in general.

Did you notice one kid who is seen in about 50 separate scenes? He managed to be an "extra" throughout the show. You expect there to be jokers at a park shooting but it's still funny to watch.

I also like the scene where they have to search for the missing canister. There's no way Mike could have told everyone about it, Jan and Marcia searched their rides, and finally, everyone getting tired out from their separate relay races through the park...all in a matter of TEN minutes! Can you imagine how big the park must have been to wear them each out in just a portion of it?

My family and I went to Kings Island every year. It was great in the 1970's and '80's. I loved all of the Hanna-Barbera characters and rides. Brings back so many memories. I was last there in 2004, but the charm was gone. Paramount bought the park and almost every remnant of my childhood went with it. I love this episode because it is like visiting my childhood. The Bradys rode the Racer coaster...which is still there...I love riding it.

So when you were last there, what rides are still there that was in the show?

The main ride that is still there is The Racer rollercoaster that they rode. The log flume is there but has been overhauled to fit a Spongebob theme. Of course the Eiffel Tower is there, and the Main Street looks pretty much the same. I am not sure if the antique cars were there, but I don't think so. The pizza shack that Cindy and Bobby ate at is still there. But the park looks almost totally different now. If you had asked me that question less than fifteen years ago, I would have had a different answer. Paramount started getting rid of attractions in the mid-1990's. What was once a beautiful park is now cluttered and full of shameless promotions for Paramount properties. When the Bradys were there, the park was owned by Taft Entertainment, which is why Fred Flintstone, Scooby-Doo, Yogi, and the rest of the gang were walking around, had rides and parking spots named for them, and were prominent in all of the air-conditioned souvenir shops. Just a different time then..and a better one.
