Wynne's criticisms regarding the 1967 Okefenokee were reportedly toward Gene Patrick's figures in particular, stating they were "too small" and "looked like window displays."

[9][10] Most of the original sets from the previous iteration remained the same, with the Kroffts' focus being more on the animated figures, sound, and music.

Ahead, an entrance to the ride has two cutouts of anthropomorphic rabbits holding signs that read "Keep hands inside the boat" and "Do not feed the bunnies".

Rounding the first bend, guests see their first sign of activity, with owls blinking and hooting in the branches above them, and a quartet of crows sing a song in perfect harmony, welcoming their new "neighbor".

After receiving their welcome, guests float past the Okefenokee Swamp's fishing hole, located in the ruins of an old Civil War era plantation home.

Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Fox, and Mr. Bear are all fishing with hooks and bait, while a bullfrog is working on his suntan and a raccoon fumbles with his picnic basket.

Across the river from the band, a patch of 12 sentient carrots with the faces of women wearing lots of makeup sing out over and over again, telling guests that whatever they do they must "Save the rabbit!"

More trees and foliage interrupt the guests' view, and the boat approaches another clearing, revealing two rabbit children playing with marionettes (possibly a reference Sid and Marty Krofft made to themselves) that are unflattering caricatures of Mr. Fox and Mr. Bear, while the rest of the bunny family are busy helping their father milk a cow in the corner.

Guests stumble across the secret arsenal of Mr. Fox and Mr. Bear inside of a blacklit cave, including an extensive array of cannons, cannonballs, gunpowder, and TNT which they intend to use in destroying the entire Okefenokee Swamp.

After guests learn of their dark secrets, the evil duo attempt to kill the witnesses by firing at the boat with their rifles.

After barely escaping with their lives and emerging from the cave, guests see that everything has become pitch black except for a red glow in the distance coming from around the bend.

On top of the tree, Mr. Fox and Mr. Bear have gotten ahead of the boat and are swinging red railroad-style lanterns, both chanting "Beware!

Guests feel gusts of air and lightning flashes, while backlit bats fly overhead, and an alligator in the water snaps its jaws at the boat.

Also, repeating the same movements over and over non-stop eventually caused mechanical problems with the ride, such as wearing down machinery and stripping gears.

[1] During the ride's final season of operation, one of the singing carrots caught on fire, burning the entire scene.

[1] In 1980, Six Flags decided to create an updated successor to Tales of the Okefenokee and chose production supervisor Dave Gengenbach to lead the project.

Despite his warnings, the guest's boat ends up at a fork in the river that leads them right into the Marsh; where dark and terrifying monsters dwell.

Six Flags Over Georgia also renamed the nearby Looney Tunes Treasures gift shop "Monstore" and stocked it with a variety of Monster Plantation merchandise.

[30] In early 2023, Six Flags Over Georgia announced on its official Twitter page that the attraction would undergo a major, ongoing refurbishment/rehab/upgrade during the 2023 operating season, including an updated opening scene, new monster costumes, restored animatronics, interactive features, and enhanced lighting, audio, and special effects.
