This newly re-themed ride was originally part of Coney Island, then spent 1972-1999 as the Kings Island Mills Log Flume. It was closed for the duration of 2000, and when it reopened, it had been named after the Nickelodeon characters to match the newly re-themed kiddie area of the park.

Lifthill comments: This really isn't much other than a typical flume ride, but its placement makes all the difference in the world. The ride sits right against the woods, setting most of the ride away from the hustle and bustle of the park and back into nature. The final drop is tall enough to be mildly exciting without being too extreme, and the theme reflects this kid-friendliness.
