The Splash Kats
were a popular attraction in the eighties.
The boats seated
two people, each with a set of pedals, and a steering mechanism
in the centre. As you pedaled, so the boat went forward or
backward.
The Kats were
originally found on the small lake, where the Swan Boats are
now located. When the Swans were installed, the Splash Kats
were re-loacted to the lake, in a small roped off section,
to keep them away from the rowing boats.
The Splash Kats
fortunes went the same way as the rowing boats and were removed
in 1996.
