  1. I see what your saying I've never been on one so I wouldn't have known. BTW, this is all CP will be getting next year (along with general park improvments), but as said before, their saving up for the BIG 2007 attraction that will be placed there White Water Landing currently is!
  2. Well then keep it up because most of the time your dead on BTW Gulliversrubadub, the only way I could prove anything to you is by risking other people's jobs and I'm not going to do it!
  3. Hey, I really do know You pretty much singled me GGG out, but what do we care, you people believing us doesn't make our day any better. I for one think you know what's coming next year and are just playing dumb for various reasons I could probably list all the people on this site who I know know's for sure but that, like next year's expansion, I must keep to myself (if you scan through the other topics you can see I've already confirmed a few people that you can consider reliable sources)! BTW Gulliversrubadub, that's a very crude statement I agree that having two (actually three including Tomb Raider), quality darkride attractions is definatly a step closer to Universal/Disney! Getting rid of Scooby would be a dumb move as they would never get their darkride count up but actually building a new one in addition to Scooby is a great move (instead of just retheming the same one over and over). The only beef I have with Scooby is that this year, all five times I rode it, I never had a working gun (they really need to upkeep this ride as my little brother was really disappointed and almost cried after waiting all that time in line)! Also, I would have preferred the ride system that Sally put in for the other Scooby rides over the omnimovers left over from Phantom Theater that we currently use! Nick Universe will be nothing like Nick Central (hence the name change to differentiate it from the rest) and will be more Universal-like as Jeff promised (for once)! I know a majority of you people were disappointed with Boomerang Bay and the Italian Job (myself included) because it didn't live up to the hype and deliver as promised. You've gotta trust me on this, I have no reason to lie to you, PKI will deliver (you'll see what I'm talking about come January)! For now, instead of comparing Nick Universe to Carowind's Nick Central, try comparing it to IOA's Suess Landing as it will be very similar in the amount of detail that will be put into the area! Don't forget, IOA is PKI's real only competition for Best Kids Area and what better way to improve the best, than to take what makes the competition so good and add it to your park! Anyways, I'm done preaching about this kinda stuff and it's really starting to wear on me. Don't expect much more out of me! Final note: Don't epect Avatar to be a Zamperla Disk’O Coaster
  4. ^That may've been your intention but the abundance of repeat questions from others have turned it into a repeat topic I wish I could tell you and end this now but I can't so just wait until January. You'll then hear what you want to hear!
  5. This topic sucks As CombatStupendous89 said, it's a repeat topic with lots of repeat questions that I'm not going to answer again, so someone else do it for me!
  6. Their saving up for the new coaster that will take the place of White Water Landing in 2007 I agree with CombatStupendous89 though, nice to see the flats but why so similar?
  7. ^^Not exactly "launched" persay, but more of a boost to get it moving! Think highly themed indoor family darkride/coaster from Mack (more compact than Premier) that's more along the lines of Universal, not even comparable to the Italian Job Explore mack-rides.com to see what your in for. That's all I can say for now, but then again, this is all just speculation, right? 200th post!
  8. I'm gonna go ahead and confirm what Shaggs said so far Listen to him as he obviously has some great sources! I don't think we'll be seeing the Nick Theater next year, so take pictures while you can, as that whole area (Nick Theater, Green Slime Zone, and the former Nick Central Photo Spot) will be the underwater world of Bikini Bottom next year (Krusty Krab Snack Shack will be apart of this area)! I can't stress this enough, Nick Central will be leaving with Hanna-Barbera Land to make way for Nick Univerese, and will also be receiving a drastic facelift! Don't forget to take pictures of Nick Central as it'll be leaving and come 2006, the old Nick Splat City look will be gone for good! The Wild Thornberrys River Adventure and Rugrats Runaway Reptar will the only part of Nick Central to remain same but may return with a few touch ups here and there. I wouldn't mind seeing a show like the one's ragerunner mentioned as their good family fun, but I don't see it happening, althought I do know the Nickelodeon Celebration Parade will be making a return and that the wider paths will make it more convenient! Who knows, maybe the'll resurect the Enchanted Theater
  9. Mack is working with Universal to create a new Jurassic Park coaster j/k I think it's for PKI next year and I don't think it's Avatar I also think an indoor Family Launched Coaster that can start and stop for show scenes would make a great new "darkride" attraction!
  10. ^Like the attraction I was leading onto... BTW RingMaster, I already posted that stuff on Turtle Twister, with that exact same idea in mind, way back on page 4, post 5. Sorry man!
  11. Here's a hint In the Nick Universe press release, they list as part of the six all-new attractions the Plankton free-fall ride, and they also mention traveling into SpongeBob SquarePants’ underwater world! Many assumed that they were talking about the new SpongeBob area, as it could easily be considered an "attraction", but then tell me whey they have the SpongeBob area listed underneath the new attractions list as part of the two all-new neighborhoods (along with the Dora the Explorer area) They also mention new attraction(s) that will be included in the new areas, which to me, sounds like more than just the free-fall ride. Could this mystery attraction be one that they will elaborate further upon this January? Could it be PKI's trump card that will guarantee pass sales, their keep at top seasonal attendance with a solid 2006 season, and their keep at the long running "Best Kid’s Area in the World" title? or could I just be looking into this too much? Lets wait and find out!
  12. Sorry to tell you this but some of the new rides will be the older ones with a new theme. Crash Course is not listed thats a rumor started on this broad. The only coaster will be Avatar. Nick will look just like HB just rethemed. Are you so sure about that I happen to think MrPKI makes a good point! From what Jeffrey Seibert said, I highly doubt Nickelodeon Universe will look just like Hanna-Barbera Land only rethemed If this is what everyone has been thinking of the upcoming expansion, then boy will you be pleasantly surprised come this January!
  13. I would love to have the Hanna-Barbera Carosel to I'm just ****ed because I missed out on the selling of Figments when Journey Into Imagination was ruined in a typical Disney fasion I'll make sure that never happens again!
  14. ^He's inferring a retheme Adding theming to a ride can do nothing to the ride experience but improve it (especially an Angry Beavers theme)! Let's just say not everything you've heard are rumors...but far more than that Keep listening to whoever told you this information!
  15. My IQ just dropped from listening to that load of bull ! Your so childish, grow up! BTW, I asked for some proof (that doesn't obviously exist) that anything (if that) you have said is true. Unlike you, I won't resort to insulting other people on this board just to make me feel better for being wrong! The information I give out has not yet been made public so of course I don't have proof Maybe you should stop to think next time! Smart ass comment #3 BACK ON TOPIC!
  16. ^Are you so sure about that? Since then I've gained many contacts and have the full story and from what I've heard, your the one who doesn't know jack crap! BTW, learn to spell and stay on topic
  17. ^Thanks Scoob! If we were to get something Star Trek themed, I'd rather it be like the ones at Star Trek The Experience than the one at Paramount's Carowinds It's the whole immersive theming thing!
  18. ^I don't get information from guest relations That's the smart ass comments I was talking about! BTW, WOW, aren't you special. I only got to talk with that guy but you took him out to dinner, NICE Pretty much everyone who attended Tomb Raider Firefall's media day met him. I don't remember him saying anything about designing Nickelodeon Universe. Oh yeah, that's because he's not involved with that, so what do you know! I can assure you, even after your little talk with him, we still know more than about PKI's future so get off our backs! Where's your proof about anything you just said I bet you still think Viacom doesn't have the rights to The Addams Family!
  19. Here's an idea CombatStupendous89 can just skip over everything GGG says from now on, and will just be left out, while everyone else has inside information It would solve the problem as CombatStupendous89 wouldn't have to worry about what GGG said and post a smart ass remark (saying his favorite thing to do is doubt inside information given by me, GGG, and others on this board)! PS: Stop asking for proof because quite frankly, we couldn't care whether you believe us or not!

    I went to Fear Fest yesterday and it was terribly crowded! I drove four hours to PKI only to wait in line for two hours on almost everything and watch people cut in front of us with the reservation tickets that were all out by the time we got there The worst part of Fear Fest was the smokers! They were smoking everywhere but the smoking sections. PKI wasn't doing anything about it so I went around the park telling people I was an off duty park supervisor and to put it out or get out. In one case there was a bunch of ignorant jackasses in front of me (at least in there thirties) smoking constantly and playing with a laser pointer in the performers eyes. I told the hicks to get out or they could get the optional handicap sticker slapped on the back of their head because they were obviously incapable in handling simple park procedures! They were speechless and I just so happened to have my idiot stickers with me that I got out and told them they could have instead of the handicap ones I'm surprise I kept a straight face through all that, they even apologized! Fear Fest was a little disappointing There was a lack of decorations around the park and alot of their houses seemed to suffer from the lack of performers. None, I repeat, NONE of the houses were scary at all! They didn't even startle me. They were as scary as CP and GL's (not at all). Headless Hollow was cool and had nice theming/story around it, but was not worth the two hour wait. It suffered the most of the attractions from the lack of actors. There was tons of spaces where set of for people to hid but no one was there! There were a few performers in particular that were giving it there all (the guy jumping all over the mini tunnel thingy) that I respect. The barn with the heads was a wasted opportunity to scare guests so I scared a couple of groups myself! I chased people out and it was SO funny to see them avoid the heads that I just knocked around so playfully (they thought I was part of the act so I gave myself lines). Massacre Manor was also very neat theming wise with a nice story but not scary! I was surprised how detailed the interior of the attraction was when it's under a tent. I was behind some girls this time and had tons of fun. All I had to do is scream and the jumped down and screamed in fright, it was so fun. I had lots of fun with them in the head room as they were scared to death of the head that I once again played with. Also, at the beginning I picked up the things sitting on the shelf that the performers used and banged them around, not only scaring the girls, but the performer in the next room to (if you reading this, sorry). The actors were pretty good in here, although none of them would converse with me, I did happen to have a good stare off with the guy on the ceiling though. CornSTALKERS only had about two people and was IMO, hit the worst with the lack of staff! Thats all I have to say about that. RL Stein's Fear Street Nights was had a surprisingly nice story with some good theming too! This one was very predictable in it's scares but I enjoyed staying in the back just watching the people get scared as I knew it was going to happen. I liked the guy getting sawed in half at the end, it was a neat effect! I tried to talk to him and the other people but they told me to leave before the next set of guests arrive. Circus of Horrors 3D was alright! No scares, ok theming, no story and at a couple of points in the house I ended up in the circus performers hiding spots (due to mirrors and such). Very confusing house that wasn't that good but it had a painting of Chucky on the wall that made up for it I'm a Chucky fanboy! PsychoPath was my favorite! Not only was it the only attraction to have no line, but it also had great theming that all tied in very well. While it had no scares, it was all made up with the scares I gave out! The hanging bodies area. This was once again a wasted area that had huge potential (in which I took advantage of)! Hiding behind the bodies and shaking them and screaming scared the crap out of people PKI should've had the chainsaw guys there chasing people through the bodies (in which they hilariously try to avoid) like Leather Face did to the girl, it'd be like the meat hook scene in Texas Chainsaw Massacre! It seems both of the hicks were as surprised as me to see the insane amount of crap in their crapper. They claim they don't know where it all came from They never left character and were fun to talk to! Maze of Madness I unfortunately never got to go in Can someone tell me if I'm missing out? I also didn't get to see the two Action FX Theater movies or the Phantom Theater characters.Bummer! I couldn't help thinking how PKI was wasting the Friday the 13th property with showing movie clips when it should've had a house. The Headless Hollow or PsychoPath ones would've been great for that. They could've had people pinned to trees by machetes and have Jason walking in the distance, back in the forest with tons of fog! Overall it was fun but I'll never go again on a Saturday.
  21. Did you get on Geauga Lake's Scary Oldies attraction? To me it was the best attraction it the park (maybe even all three of Ohio's parks)! I was dissappointed in PKI's Fear Fest, GL&WWK's Halloween Haunt, and CP's Halloweekends because none of them had scary houses I'm surprised PKI didn't have something like Scary Oldies, not the antique cars part, but the whole famous horror movies theme part! They had Freddy, Jason, Chucky, Leather Face, Alien, Predator, Hannibal Lector, Michael Myers, and Christine (the car). It was a hidden gem!
  22. I agree completly Scooby-Doo? Yeah right, it would be themed to Nickelodeon if anything and those other names are just old attraction names that I doubt they would ever use in this day and age. As MrPKI said, "They would go for the complete movie approach."
  23. I really don't care what they call it anymore! To me it's just another Scooby-Doo coaster clone, soon to be another Fairly-Odd Coaster clone, either way, I don't ride it I think children would rather have it be the Fairly-Odd Parents (rather Scooby or Beastie) as riding Cosmo and Wanda from a show they probably watch all the time is more appealing then riding something called The Beastie (which may scare them off) or Scooby-Doo Coaster (with our beloved HB fading away)! I never thought of it as a miniature Beast, because I always thought it was themed to Scooby-Doo! I thought The Beastie was a monster Mystery Inc. was hunting and that the vulture and graveyard were just setting up the story. Having the Photo Booth themed to the Mystery Machine didn't help either In the end, The Beastie would stick out like a soar thumb if they didn't retheme it to something Nickelodeon!
  24. Besides the new diner and the new Action FX Theater show (coming to all Paramount Parks), yes! So you can expect it to be really good
  25. Next season, Mission Impossible Stunt Spectacular will premiere in an all-new 2,500-seat Stunt Show Arena at Paramount Canada's Wonderland. The show is slated for a May opening. This is a limited engagement! I have just been informed today that next season, this blockbuster show will be EXCLUSIVE to PCW IT WILL NOT BE A TRAVELING SHOW! This means the quality of the show will be greater, and from what I've seen Utopia Entertainment Inc. has done in the past, possibly even as good as Indiana Jone Stunt Spectacular. It now makes sense as to why their building a new theater for it. Hopfully plans have changed and this will not be a limited engagement, but more of a permanent insulation. As to whether or not this show will ever be cloned at other Paramount Parks, I don't know! It may all depend on success
