Six Flags has become owners of many ghetto parks. Six Flags Over Georgia competes with the mall for foul-mouthed teenagers to be dropped off at. Six Flags Great Adventure lacks inspection of their rides (this and the Log Flume.) They used to be SO much better in the Time Warner days. Why doesn't AT&T buy them?

The reason HB is not relevant with the kids of today is because WB does NOTHING to popularize them. The Flintstones are only known through cereal and vitamins (and a popular Internet meme.) Scooby Doo is the only one who's popular right now. Yogi Bear failed due to Yo Yogi and the live-action movie. Boomerang stopped playing classic cartoons. THIS is why HB isn't relevant anymore. Hopefully Jellystone will change that.

Who's Tagg? Don't remember him being a Hanna-Barbera character, and I'm an HB buff.

I think part of the reason why I want the Phantom Virus to be in the parks despite him being a one-off Scooby monster is because he's nostalgia to many cryptic millennial-Gen Z'ers, and perhaps younger.

I wish the Space Ghost ride made it, because it would've been the FIRST superhero themed ride in a theme park (that honor actually goes to Batman: The Ride at SFGAm.) There should've also been a Birdman ride. Nowadays, a flying coaster themed after him would've sold a million... if kids even knew who he was (Harvey Birdman does not count.)

Since KECO folded in the early 1990s, and Paramount removed the Hanna-Barbera license in 2006, Hanna-Barbera hasn't been seen in theme parks ever since Camp Cartoon at Six Flags Great America was rethemed in 2018. What park do you think will own the rights to HB? I bet it'll be Six Flags, IF they ever decide to renew the license. Universal might still own the rights, but they've rarely done ANYTHING with it. If AT&T buys Six Flags (which I really, REALLY want to happen!), they'll own the rights to HB. That means they can bring back the Enchanted Voyage with newer characters like the Phantom Virus, and use the action characters like Space Ghost and Birdman in more intense rides (I want a Birdman themed flying coaster!) Or maybe today's kids just don't care about Hanna-Barbera, because Boomerang has become a ****show and rarely airs classic cartoons. Aside from Scooby Doo, Hanna-Barbera is literally an outsider in these kids' eyes. Mention Fred Flintstone and they'll be like "Who?" (Then there's the "GRAND DAD" meme, but that's a different story.)

Since you are a KI expert, could you tell us the reason why Space Ghost and Birdman didn't appear in the parks? They are my two favorite HB characters (besides the Phantom Virus, but he's from 2001) and I wonder why they never used the action characters. I bet kids would love them.

That Fred picture is so cute!!

1. Enchanted Voyage 2. Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle 3. Scooby Doo Coaster 4. Winnie Witch's Cauldrons 5. Tomb Raider: The Ride As you can see, I'm a big fan of the KECO days.

Bring back the Hanna-Barbera license and give a nod to the Phantom Virus (character on my avatar.)

If Paramount didn't buy out KECO, and if the ride hadn't been replaced with Smurfs (which I hate)/came back in a revamped version, here is a new verse for the Enchanted Voyage song. This comes after the Banana Splits part. The Phantom Virus hits the home run, Birdman soars powered by the sun Black Vulcan throws his lightnin' bolts Race Bannon is strong, brave and bold. Then we'd go into the regular end part. How did you like it? Feedback appreciated.
