I remember the Haunted Mansion vividly, but I also remember a log ride and bird watching. Does anyone know what that log ride was or if there was bird watching, or if there is a site that I that lists all of the old attractions?

Originally Posted By brotherdave I agree with TDLFAN, it definitely sounds like Busch Gardens. I believe that they had bird aviaries near where the Tanganyika Tidal Wave ride is today, which isn't far from the Log Flume that is still at the park.
