I have tears running down my face right now. I haven't heard this song in 35 years and I immediately knew all of the words. Remember that a lovely aspect of this ride was that it was air conditioned, welcome on those hot Ohio summer days.

I was 16 when I first Went on this ride in 1972. Last night at the 50th anniversary fireworks and drone display I got chills when they put the music onto this ride and showed the TV up there via the drones. I can’t believe how old I am now but I will never forget this ride or this music!!

I own a pair of the big speakers that played this song on a loop in the building at various locations throughout the ride. They were sold off at auction when they changed the format of the ride to the Phantom Theater. They’re still sounding amazing at 50 years old.

I've got to get my parents' old photo albums out soon and look at our pictures of the Enchanted Voyage. What great memories! I, too, was disappointed when they replaced it with Smurfs. But the song and the way the ride made me feel will live in my heart forever!

Yeah right? I was 4 back in 74 I believe when I first rode it. The feelings that song conjured along with the Adam West Batman theme song are each so strangely unique even to this day that they almost feel spiritual to me! Very weird!

3:16 the clown on the very end looks scary... I didn't understand this ride really. But now I do! How neat for the characters you see on TV in a ride... Like you're going in a tv set. Phantom Theater will always reamain to me the best ride at Kings Island, but I feel had I ridden this one, I think there'd be a tie. What a neat concept! I wonder where all this cool stuff went? Some of my favorite shows are there, still to this day- Thanks to Boomerang. I'm 19, love this classic stuff!

That might be me at :30 I was wearing a backwards scooby hat 7 years old. Always rode by myself in the back of boat. I liked the spooky parts and the clown face at the end going over the ramp thing. I wanted the clown to crunch down on the boat. Its teeth looked like twin size matresses.

one show there back in 1984 when this ride was also still running I wish someone had a vid of was called the "Rockin' Scooby" show which had scooby doo yogi bear and fred flintstone on stage over by the little gas drive sports car part of the park (which is no longer there saddly) and they did songs from the 50s and 60s wasa really great show

Thanks for posting this. Brings back some fantastic memories from when I was a kid. I was 6 when the park opened back in 72 and we went almost every summer. This ride ran from 72 to 84. I was so disappointed when we went in the summer of 86 and the smurfs had replaced the enchanted voyager. Yeah I was past my teen years by then but that ride was always a favorite since I watched all the Hanna Barbera cartoons as a kid. How did you get the music. I use to sing that song for hours.

No chance of that. Scooby Doo and even Nick will be gone next year, replaced by "Planet Snoopy", a Peanuts-themed kids' area. Even thought they're both much farther away from us, my family has gravitated more to Disney and Dollywood. Both places have maintained their theming and do their best to keep as many old favorites in place even when adding new attractions. They also have many more rides that whole families can enjoy instead of countless roller coasters.

That boring Smurfs ride was a terrible letdown after the Enchanted Voyage. And what a dumb decision to replace a ride featuring all the Hanna-Barbera characters with a ride that only featured the characters on a single show -- a single, irritating show.
