Scalawags is a Kiddie Ride located at Lagoon.
Ride Details
Riders sit in single-seat gondolas that are each attached to a hydraulic arm extending from the center of the ride. As the ride spins, riders can move their gondola up and down by means of a joystick.
Theme
The ride's gondolas are each styled to look like one of four creatures.
- A ladybug wearing a hat and jacket with a corsage
- A dragon wearing a cape with a "Z" insignia (Likely a reference to Zamperla, the ride's manufacturer)
- A bumble bee waring a top hat and a bow-tie
- An elephant wearing a ruffle and a saddle
The center of the ride resembles a colorful flying saucer.
Name
Scalawag is a 19th century slang term that means "Troublemaker".
Similarity to Dumbo
Both the ride's mechanics and its elephant gondolas are very similar to Dumbo the Flying Elephant at Disneyland. Many ride manufacturers have built copies of Dumbo, and they are installed in parks across the world (Arrow Development built the original Dumbo ride).
