Here's a trip down memory lane for the Kings Island crowd -- our shaky home video of the Smurf ride during the 1988 Winterfest. I'll never get that song out of my head!!!

Wow, thanks for posting that. I lived in Cincy from 80 til 89. I went to winterfest with parents every year. In 88 I would have been 13 or so. This movie reminds me of my family movies. Very nostalgic. Thanks again

@bink1fly Oh yes they did from 75 -99 in some sort or another. They also did the smurfs before scooby took over in 99 they took out the boats and water and revamped the whole ride.

If you knew what to look for, there were lots of elements from the original Enchanted Voyage ride through out this attraction.
