Take 100 first graders from any grade school in the United States and I bet you that more of them will know who Spongebob is rather than yogi. Im not saying noen of them will have heard of yogi but Nick is on the rise.

Thats true, and im not dissing HB at all, I love HB, and higher ratings does not mean its more popular with kids. More people may watch CN but that doesnt mean more kids watch it. The reason cartoon network kills Nick in ratings is because of the jappaneese cartoons and shows like dexters lab, power puff girls, and teen titans. And kids WB isnt even considered a threat by Nickolodeon. No offense to the HB lovers at all, but the reality is as we see time go by were going to realize more and more that Nick and the newer cartoon network shows are more popular than the classics.

Bens right, it will be pretty dissapointing especially when most people wont check KI's website to see the new changes and get to the park realizing kids cant ride some of the rides they were so pumped to ride. Yes it will make a lof of people mad but I dont think it will deal a very crushing blow to KI.

Maybe your kids, myslef, my sibblings, and children of some of the users on here but the kids being born today have no clue who msot of the HB charecters are. While Im a fan of HB, Nickelodeon is beating it in ratings and money. KI is going to bring in more people with Nick charecters than HB charecters. Scooby is whats keeping HB's heart pumping.

I really hope I get to go this summer. The coasters look amazing (except for Gemini Jr.).

Keep things people like? Sure A LOT of people like HBL and the HB theming. You do, I do. All those kids who grew up wiht it do. But theres even A LOT MORE kids who like nickolodeon rides and attractions. You may not find them enjoyable but jsut you wait and see in 2006 when NC expands and you see how much money the park brings in from kids coming to the new NC.

That would be really cool, what kind of prizes?

Mean streak looks awesome though, Id really like to try it. I cant wait to finnaly visit CP. Although TTD gets a lot of bashing I cant wait to ride it, it looks awesome.

PKIfan4life, shut up, he makes a good point, a lot of people are gonna be upset about the new height restircitions especially since a lot of kids may have riden something like The Racer for the first time last year and loved it and now they will come back to the park unable to ride it. And Ben was right, maybe the girl was scared but Racer can be pretty rough as well as Beast. Better safe than sorry. Youve made what.....4 posts on here........and you think all ben does is tick everyone off? I bet youve only seen him post a few things.Already your new to this site and acting like an idiot. Ben is entiltled to his opinion and point especially when its reasonable. You are entitled to an opinion and poitn but not entitled to being a jerk.

CP may have some record breaking steel coasters (flop thrill dragster) but it can never top KI's wooden classics. just playing around ben

i bet it cant beat beast or SOB

And right now there are more kids watching spongebob square pants than the smurfs. True some kids know the charecters in HB land but can HB compeet iwth disney and nickolodeon now a days? Come on.......no unfortuanently it cant.

what coaster is that, that the girl is riding down?

It will probably happen because it is a very very very popular ride down in PC and kids love it. Forget about the smurfs, paramoutn doesnt have the rights and kids these days dont know who they are sadly. Its is ineveitable people......HB land will one day be gone. Just like the eagles. Instead of complaining and whining (which we are all VERY sick of) we jsut need to accept the changes. The changes being made now will benefit the park and bring in lots of money which means newer and better things to come. Yeah its sad to see things like the ealges and HBL go cause a lot of people grew up with that. Youd see your favorite charecters on tv then get to see them in real life. Why should kids today be denied seeing their nickolodeon favorites? That will create some good memories for them. Sure your losing a piece of your child hood but youll always have the memories and by giving up HBL your letting todays kids create fantastic memories. Now quit complaining about HB leaving paramount parks.

I could see the super saturator coming with the 2006 expansion and the ghoster coaster getting removed. Both are suspended, well the super saturator in a way in an invert, but its popular and would havea better capacity than the hgoster coaster but then there would be two inverts in the kiddie zone. But PC also has two inverts in their kiddy zone. I dont know, I could really see PKI getting the super saturator in place of the ghoster coaster.

hahah silly ryan and dane dont you have any manners? Im just kidding, i probably walked in front of about 50 different cameras while someone was filming, I am very sorry and I apoligize for that.

I think they should make Happy Days Diner look like Arnolds from the tv show.

Star Trek would probably definently come because it was a HUGE paramount television hit. It would bring in a lot of people and I can only see a sci fi convention coming if paramount owns the rights to it. Although most of you on here may not be into that sort of thing..the hotel would fill up if a star trek convention came and the park would be filled with people in star fleet uniforms hahahaahah. It would be crazy. I dont think theyd have a gun convention and also a spongebob convention would just be downright stupid.

Another thing that was cut out of the video was a question i asked about the helicopter. As you can see from the video when the helicopter isnt in the scene it sits behind the crates. I asked if it would be visible from the midway when it wasnt in the scene and making noise and going through its effects run. Jeff said he wasnt sure if it would be hidden from view or not. I sure hope it is.

No one said they assumed everyone will love it. Read people Read.

Thats very true family guy and doesnt matter how much anyone is upset about the eagles......theyre not coming back...jsut be glad theyre still being used and not sitting in a trash heap somewhere. Think how happy some kids are gonna be riding the danny phantom flyers and how happy we are gonna be to ride one of the most unique coasters of our time. It all works out good.

WOW! that looks really really really awesome!

House of Blues is a string of venues across the nation that host a lot of great musical acts from the biggest names to the most underground bands. Although they host bands I really despise they also get a lot of good bands at their venues and do a fantastic job at running them. In the past few years theyve been sponsoring certain bands on yours throught the nation that came to other venues. You may have heard this year "House Of Blue presents Modest Mouse" at the Timberwolf amplitheatre.

Sounds great.....I love how it is outdoors and can have the huge explosive effects...KI's has some great effects and is well themed and a lot of fun. I dont htink you can really compare them because they are two seperate experiences but I havent ridden Firefall yet. Thanks for letting us know what its like! Hopeflly we can get some vids and pics soon.

Yeah, its really bad. I mean I love the atmosphere its in cause its at Kings Island and its a cool idea having it there. I mean you go to the park, ride a few coasters, then go see a concert. Only a few problems. Seating is terrible, views are terrible. Compare this to something like Riverbend. Riverbend is great and gets so many bands and events. Like the Vans warped tour. That brings in A LOT of money for riverbend. They can have about 5 bands play at once and its not all seating. Theres a grassy area and a general standing area close to the stage. I really think timberwolf needs to go and I can see it going in the near future. Thats a lot of room KI could use for some cool stuff.
