This boat ride at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, transported guests on a relaxing trip around Cedar Point's lagoon. It was originally known as "Western Cruise" but was renamed "Paddlewheel Excursions" in 1986. Shore scenes depicting early Americana. The ride's best feature was the offbeat humor of its boat captains. Closed on Labor Day 2011 to make room for 'Dinosaurs Alive'

Our family lugged around one of the original video cameras that connected to the full-size "portable" VCRs of the day.
