Storyline

Mike has a big surprise for the family. His boss, Mr. Phillips, has approved the King's Island amusement park plans he has been working on and wants him to go to Cincinnati to present them. In turn, Mike can bring along the family to spend time at King's Island. They are all excited by the news. Once there, Mike is dismayed to learn that he only has a truncated thirty minute meeting to present the plans before the amusement park's directors, Mssrs.

The morning adventures include Greg trying to find a girl he just met and likes named Marge, who works at the park dressed as an animal, but Greg doesn't know which one.

Trivia

A great look at the virgin King's Island, then a relatively new park. The main fountains and "fake" Eiffel tower are still focal points of the park as is the log ride that the Brady's enjoyed in this episode. The "Scrambler" was still a popular ride up through the late 1980's. However you will see several rides that no longer exist at the park...such as the "canoe" ride which involved hopping into a red canoe and paddling around a stagnant circular waterway.

User Reviews

strange attraction at King's Island

In one scene Peter & Greg are 'enjoying' and attraction. It is a robotic 'animatronics'. The robots consisted of heads that opened their mouths by moving the tops of their heads on a hinge - the opposite of how a human does - and they either sang of made musical notes or did both. I went to King's Island the following summer and found them REALLY annoying. At that time they were next to a pavilion/gazebo and you could just walk away. In 1992, I went again and these annoying thingys still existed, but at that time they were located next to the line for a ride. A long line. I think it was the Beast roller coaster. Anyone know what they were? were called? have a pic?
