Diamondback96 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 FUN & ONLY, where else? Kings Island. The correct answer to "Where else?" is Cedar Point. And my question was answered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbfan Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Look who it is again Adam Woltermann-Why isn't there any Brick Roller Coasters? And is it possible for one to be made and KI to have the first one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I just noticed but they used my Fireworks question! That is one of my favorites at KI and is one of very few reasons why I like KI more than Cedar Point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjkjkj Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I actually like the slogan now. I didn't love it when we first saw it a while ago, but now that I hear it, I actually like it a lot. It [the jingle posted on youtube] sounds kind of 80s-ish. It does make me picture sunny summer days, and the rides of Kings Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyMan98 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Ya, it's grown on me too. It's really cheesy and a stupid pun - but I like it (If i wasn't specific enough...the slogan! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TombraiderTy Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Regarding some new Planet Snoopy details being released on the official website, Snoopy's Snack Shack sounds and looks exactly like the current "Snack Shack" in Nickelodeon Universe, which led me to overlay the concept image with a picture of the former building... Personally, I think it looks much nicer as Snoopy-themed- I especially like the surf-boarding Snoopy on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerRider Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I really like the song. It is now on my ipod. After listening to it ten times I memorized it, and it sounds better when they sing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkjkj Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 That does look pretty nice! I have to admit. I didn't like the thought of PEANUTS invading Kings Island, at first. However, I always have liked Snoopy and Woodstock, but the other human characters were pretty boring. So now to my point. Now that I am starting to see that Planet Snoopy will be themed mostly toward snoopy and Woodstock, I am actually really starting to like this retheme! For some reason the Snowcone sign on the website kind of won me over. How can you look at that and not smile a little bit? and think that kids won't enjoy Snoopy and Woodstock?

Oldschool75 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Q: BRIAN E. LAMM - Will there ever be an area at Kings Island to display the history of Kings Island? Say a small museum in the park, something with old pictures or props, maybe even parts of old rides? Just an idea for older folks to remiinisce about the past to the younger generation. A: Love the idea, Brian. There's so much history that's been built over the years. Certainly worth a discussion, especially with the 40th anniversary season coming up in a couple of years. okay, brian e. lamm asked the same exact question i did from the day before, and i also managed to post it right after him for today's 5@5, i guess my question now is, brian e. lamm, are you a member on here? Yes I am a member on here. And no I did not see any post you made about this subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkjkj Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 You mean like that Canadian internet services provider with the pesky URL?http://www.kingsisland.com ? ^ Exactly! I have a feeling they wouldn't be using the park's new slogan any time soon though. Some of the park's old slogans could have just as easily been placed with other businesses and still worked just the same. "America's Family Entertainment Center" could have been placed on any Amusement Park, or place for families to be entertained. "Let Yourself Go" could be placed on any buffet restaurant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREMiERdrum Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 As far as "The Fun and Only", I definitely like it better than "Where Else?" I would much rather have seen an evolution of "Where else?" into "Kings Island: Where you can." I think it would have made a nice campaign, I'm picturing ads with the "Where you Can" graphic on the screen over video, then as the scene changes, different words would appear after the "....can". For example, close up of riders on Firehawk "Where you can fly", video of a family walking through Planet Snoopy "Where you can reconnect", video of kids in Boomerang Bay "Where you can refresh", video of adults with the Peanuts characters "Where you can act your age", etc... I like the new jingle, and I like the new tag line... I just think that from a marketing perspective you can build in a good amount of potential to a slogan. I don't see bucketloads of potential built into "The Fun and Only." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coaster_junky Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 in all honesty, i liked it better before i heard the jingle, but hey, that's just my opinion. maybe i'll like it better when i hear it on t.v. and see a roller coaster (hopefully one from Kings Island) in the background.

bkroz Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'm so glad they're making a "thing" out of Planet Snoopy. The other parks had their ride names released on any ole' day, no hooplah, maybe the map came out and people just went 'Oh, there's Planet Snoopy...' But with ours, they're really making a production of it, first releasing restaurants, etc. It's very cool. Nice job, Cedar Fair! I'm liking this.

Losantiville Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I have to say that I am thrilled that they have let us know that a new website is finally coming. The old Paramount style sites are very out-dated and provide very little information with horrible navigation. Hopefully a new site will also encourage the park to use it for getting information out there faster then we are used to now. I will give them credit that they are getting better by using Facebook & Twitter to give regular updates about the happenings around the park.

74Gibson Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Just to see which and/or both answer you give us . Also, Gibson, please don't tell me you've never said, "No offense, but..." and said something that someone could/should take offense to. OK, I won't but I don't really remember. But you must admit it's funny to say no offense and then hurl an insult. Jackson said something funny, I liked it, laughed and commented. Like Standbyme's comment on the Depends, for which you definitely get quote of the day! Besides, if I tought Jackson would take any offense to it I would have sent him a PM. Back on topic, The Fun and Only just doesn't do it for me. I can see why people would like it and I hope it works out for the park but, it just seems like a cheap, predictable pun with no releveance to an amusement park. Besides, CF is going down the route of amusement/thrill parks that are a branded experience (like the other financially crippled amusement entity). If they want all their parks to have a similar feel, why promote a slogan pushing individuality. It just seems ad hoc. I think marketing was after something like ride on (which I like) but it just falls short for me. I like everything they've shown us for Planet Snoopy though. I'll show the bits we've got to my little one to see what she thinks of it. I'm guessing a big hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
