December 10, 200718 yr According to Ryan's post, the Paramount names will change. I wonder if all of them will change or just some of them. Here are all the Paramount names: Rides: Tomb Raider: The Ride Top Gun Days of Thunder Face/Off Congo Falls Drop Zone The Italian Job Stunt Coaster Eateries: Wings Diner Happy Days Diner Bubba Gump Shrimp Shack Lieutenant Dan's Bar I hope that CF changes ALL of the names and not just some of them. We'll see. Any ideas? Italian Chef
December 10, 200718 yr Expect all Paramount names to change. Some will be simply dropping a word or phrase, some will be a total retheme. Of course, decisions on this are far from finalized. I think Don's exact quote at the GOCC thing was that the new names, "Depend on what day it is and who you ask." Which of course implies that the ideas keep changing. However, I won't be too shocked to see Spongebob, Dora, Diego and many of your favorite Nickelodeon characters at the park for many years to come.
December 10, 200718 yr ....assuming, of course, that Viacom and Cedar Fair come to an agreement on renewing the Nick license, without which that cannot happen.
December 10, 200718 yr Something tells me Viacom's licensing division will be plenty happy to take Cedar Fairs money. Just like the have at mall of America.
December 10, 200718 yr ...only if it is ENOUGH money...which Cedar Fair may or may not be interested in providing in sufficient quantity . . . Remember, Mall of America is mere miles from Valleyfair. There's probably a reason they approached the amusement park at MOA, which used to be operated by Cedar Fair as Camp Snoopy.
December 10, 200718 yr All names to change? AWESOME!!!! ALL names will change... but then again, if I went by Bill A. Smith and decided to go by just Bill A., or even Bill Smith, that would be a change too.
December 10, 200718 yr So don't be surprised if a certain Top Spin is known next year as The Ride. If you look at the main sign, the spacing is a little awkward. Makes it look like it says, TOM BRAIDER: THE RIDE. They should just call it that.
December 10, 200718 yr Only if they want to be visited in short order by thel awyers from Viacom. . .
December 10, 200718 yr Will Congo Falls really be getting the change? I just stopped calling it Amazon Falls, now I will be thrown off again.
December 10, 200718 yr i wouldnt worry about congo's name, rumors among employees were that it would be taken out soon anyway.
December 10, 200718 yr i wouldnt worry about congo's name, rumors among employees were that it would be taken out soon anyway. Yeah, and I hear Vortex is sinking. <G>
December 10, 200718 yr i wouldnt worry about congo's name, rumors among employees were that it would be taken out soon anyway. The cabana girl strikes again!
December 11, 200718 yr i wouldnt worry about congo's name, rumors among employees were that it would be taken out soon anyway. Yeah, and I hear Vortex is sinking. <G> haha, i know, but i just thought i'd bring that one to the table.
December 11, 200718 yr I don't think Congo Falls is going anywhere. Its high capcity, only water ride from the front of the park to the back of the park and its a great way to cool off and its just classic to have a giant flume ride with a pathway going threw the splash zone.
December 11, 200718 yr I don't believe Congo Falls is going anywhere either, but what about it's name? If the name is changed, I hope it just goes back to Amazon Falls.
December 11, 200718 yr Do you think they still have the "AMAZON" to set back on top of the "FALLS" They still have the signs from when the people from the Survivor show were there. I am sure it is floating around somewhere.
December 11, 200718 yr So don't be surprised if a certain Top Spin is known next year as The Ride. If you look at the main sign, the spacing is a little awkward. Makes it look like it says, TOM BRAIDER: THE RIDE. They should just call it that. Which sounds not too far off from TOM BRADY: THE RIDE.

HAHA!!! That's Great!

December 11, 200718 yr So here's the list if they really just don't get creative at all. Congo Falls to become Falls Top Gun to become Gun Italian Job Stunt Track to become simply Stunt Track (not too bad on this one) Drop Zone to become Drop Paramount Story to become the Story Tomb Raider the Ride to become The Ride Flight of Fear to become Fear (Nice..... though I don't think this one is affected) Wings to become W'angs Delirium (dont think this one is affected but for the fun of it) becomes Delirious (sp?) Days of Thunder to become Thunder Raceway (wish it would become extinct honestly but that's probably the name it will be) I know some of these have been said before so I'm not trying to steal anyone's thunder just putting it in list form here for fun I have no real idea what the names will become. As far as other parks I could see Borg Assimulator becoming simply Assimulator and Tomb Raider Firefall to simply Firefall etc....
December 11, 200718 yr Doesn't Cedar Fair have a thing with Star Trek, I doubt the name Borg Assinulator is going anywhere.
December 12, 200718 yr Yep. They own and operate Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton. While Cedar Fair owns the rides and equipment, they do not own the space in which all the rides operate (that belongs to the Hilton). We may very well see Borg Assimilator`s name changed and the only Paramount branded attractions` names that remain may well be Star Trek: The Experience.
