That whole area around Blackbeard's Revenge was great. I always thought the bridge with all the fish under it was so cool. And they would fight over the food you could buy to throw in the water.

A very strange and unpopular upcharge attraction where you could pay to drive a boat with essentially a nerf gun on the front of it around while people outside paid to shoot mounted guns at the boats. Ours MAY have come from Kings Island (not certain on this). It was removed from Knoebels last season to make way for Impulse and could have been scrapped. I know Indiana Beach also had one at one point (maybe still does) and Morey's Piers does.

Does anyone remember the name of the dark ride at Dollywood, I don't remember a lot about it since It was late 90's early 2000's and I was maybe 11-13 years old the few times I went. I remember a crazy scientist guy building a flying machine and Dolly Parton was in it lol.... Also was it Carowinds that had the Days of Thunder dark ride?

If we get a Blackbeard themed dark ride, I'd love to see it in the spot of Viral/Fury (maze). It works better with a boardwalk theme than a county fair theme (action theater). Also, being in a queue next to Cyclone is really cool. It would also give the park a chance to spruce up the Boardwalk a little more.

I was talking to someone yesterday about a funhouse style dark ride in the county fair section! I mean...county fairs are known for their funhouse and sorts. It doesn't have to be interactive...
