rbatina Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Went to PKI, did all the normal stuff that you do there, yada... ( it's all in my blog, if you really care ) One thing I noticed is that there wasn't one single character walking around the park. I remember being terrified of all those things when I was little, and I'm always on the lookout for them to this day. Apparently the increase in character-beatings has prompted PKI to cut back, eh? Some generic looking pics that I took while I was there: My Webshots Archive Nothing remarkable, just your standard snapshots mostly. A couple of them might be good for wallpapers once you add some nice 3d looking kewl lettering like "PKI dRoP zOnE!" or something. *shrug* Toe.

KIBeast Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Those shots aren't too bad looking. I always enjoy nice shots of the fountains. I don't know why you didn't see any characters though. It could be either related to the character beatings or maybe alleged sexual harrassment allegations from characters. If I'm not mistaken, the Tigger at Disney was acquitted of all wrongdoing.

Shman Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Actually none of this really factors into the reason that you did see any characters out on the streets, the simple answer is the fact that all of the parks characters are now resticted to the use of the Nick Meet and Greet at the old Nickelodeon theater. That is where you will find all of the Nick characters, the only other character that the park uses on a daily basis is Scooby Doo and his meet and greet is located right next to the ride, just outside the entrance to the old Enchanted Theater. We still use a few of the old HB characters, but they only walk in the picnic groves for corporate events or promotional deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby_Doo Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 :offtopic: wow why didnt you tell me before Ghost I guess I wasnt the only one mad at PKI for taking away those characters.PKI should have Scooby-Doo,The Flintstones,Yogi&Boo-Boo as walkaround characters since nick characters are only in that greeting area.That way it would make PKI fans that love Nick & HB happy the best of both worlds.

Bear Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I think it's a shame that its been two years and your all still whining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I think it's a shame that its been two years and your all still whining. We have a right to whine and complain PKI took away something dear to us I have been to a lot of Six Flags parks and I have seen most HB characters their mainly Yogi Bear & Boo-Boo Fred Flinstone Dino and two jetsons characters which I forget who I think it was George jetson and astro.Scooby Doo is there also cool eh plus they have looney tunes characters which is great because Iam a Looney tunes nut as Iam a Scooby doo nut.I have to admit I love Six Flags more than the paramount parks they all just give me a good feeling fun feeling.But PKI is closer to me plus Iam a sucker for The Beast it is a shame that you have to go to Six Flags just to see something you love your right Vortex it doesnt make sense why have HBL if there isnt any HB characters.Besides I wanna say this in the nicest way I can the only nicktoons worth your time watching are Spongebob&Rugrats.Dont Fret my fellow HB lovers Warner Bros. have great plans for HB Characters they are releasing a new toyline & Clothes line this fall plus a huge new DVD line also like with THE SCOOBY DOO :MOVIE yogi bear & boo-boo are up next to get the Big Screen treatment follwed by The Jetsons. Take care now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonLord Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I actually think it would be a great idea for the park to bring back the older characters which I remember and have a while day of meet and greet with them. If it was advertised I'm sure it would draw a decent size crowd. I would love to have my pic taken with Yogi, BoBo, Quickdraw, the Smurfs, and all the other classic characters!

BoddaH1994 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 True, but in order to do it, they would have to spend the time and money to market it. It seems far more logical to simply utilize that characters that they know are popular now and make them synonymous with Paramount Parks.

Smurfs Enchanted Voyage Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 utilize that characters that they know are popular now So umm Scooby Doo is popular same with yogi bear and Fred Flintstone and crew I understand that Nick is overrunning PKI but saying that Nick is the only cartoon channel that is popular among kids is just messed up.There is cartoon characters that are far more popular than most of nicks characters like Spider-Man,Garfield etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
