Which theme did you like best for the kids area?

Of the three eras of Kings Island's kids area, which theme did you like the best? While I first experienced the area as Hanna Barbera Land, I have to give my vote to Nickelodeon Universe. I think Paramount's use of the properties and addition of theming worked well.

Sadly, I only go to experience HB Land in it's form between 2000-2005 when it was mixed with Nickelodeon Central. I barely remember it, mostly just Boulder Bumpers & the Jetson's ride. Nick U was okay IMO, much like most of Paramount's themes, it seemed very just slapped on and not really "themed". All of the rides from Nick U exist today in the exact same form, no difference in the ride experience, just a different name. The only ride to suffer from de-theming was Scooby's haunted castle, which isn't even Nick. Planet Snoopy seems very bright and well taken care of, and being themed around a classic comic strip and movies gives it longevity. 

From pictures I've seen, HB land looked to be the best. My vote went to Snoopy since I've experienced Nick U and can compare the two.

even though I voted for Hannah Barbera Land, I think Kings Island wants Planet Snoopy because kids are more familiar with Snoopy.

I miss seeing the Hanna-Barbera characters at Kings Island, even the Hanna-Barbera carousel. But the memories will always live on in my mind.

I love Hanna Barbera but aside from Scooby Doo, there has hardly been any exposure anymore to warrant a comeback.
