The Interpreter Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 It means they have the licensing for it, for now, at the parks where they are. Not other parks. No company would agree to such a license in this day and age. You wants more parks, you pays more money.
RailRider Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I just dont see Mr. Bob and his square pants playing at the island for much longer.
RollerNut Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Oh, Viacom was interested...very interested. They just wanted more Scooby Snacks than Cedar Fair was willing to pony up, so to speak...or so it appears. Viacom and Cedar Fair have already had talks, and the number of Scooby Snacks was too high for Cedar Fair?
XGatorHead 8904 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Maybe they need to wait a little bit until the Scooby Snack to nickles exchange rate turns in their favor.
The Interpreter Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I doubt that happens during the dog days of summer...or any other season.
MrTools Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I just dont see Mr. Bob and his square pants playing at the island for much longer. That means a new movie for the action theater!
standbyme Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Presenting the "glass half full" outlook: That means a new movie for the action theater! ...and the "glass half empty" Maybe new movie or no more FX theater!
Diamondback96 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 The Theater should be removed, and CM should be expanded.
Gabe Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Given the theatre's resurgence as a terrific Haunt attraction, I doubt it goes away. CF can always stick another 3d movie in there during the summer months..there are plenty out there to choose from.
Beast79 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Hopefully they will turn down the annoying siren this year! Sorry StalkerChick it was really annoying.

RideFast4Ever! Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Did paramount have a contract for Nick? If so, I can't see CF renewing it since they removed the paramount themeing for all the other rides. How would this change affect the golden ticket award for the best kids area?
RideFast4Ever! Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 It would be awsome if KI added a new movie, or played the old movies again. I miss DOT. I would like to see virutal roller coasters played, perhaps winning videos from a coaster tycoon contest. I see great potential left for shows because it can be easly modified. The theater was a paramount addition, so I would suspect it could be removed. The haunted hospital was a great haunt attraction. The Theater should be removed, and CM should be expanded.
KIBOB Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Hey, we now have the first sign of pro-Nickelodeon actions taking place in the park. It has been announced today that the stars of a newer hit nick tv show will be performing live at Kings Island. See also: http://kingsislandinsider.blogspot.com/200...-tv-series.html
RollerNut Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 http://rodeo.cincinnati.com/getlocal/gpsto...&sid=150662 Wasn't originally planned to be at KI. Concert dates and locations http://www.thecelebritycafe.com/features/28833.html
RideFast4Ever! Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 I think I found the answer to solve this. The web site listed below references that The Nickelodeon licensing agreement expires within four years. The park was purchased on June 30, 2006. It looks like this may be the last year for Nick, so everyone probley should start taking all the pictures and videos that they wish to collect. Be sure to visit the Nic themed rides. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/811...hibit99_faq.htm

Gabe Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I would hedge my bets that Nick isn't leaving. What else to replace it with? Peanuts like at CP? I love snoopy, but that industry died with Charles Schultz. Wouldn't it be easier to modify the Nick rides to reflect the shows currently airing on Nick? That would certainly be cheaper. Avatar, Dora, FOP and Sb stay; e-thing else just gets new names and props. I would think Viacom would like that arrangement as well, since it would give them broad exposure to their new cartoons.
Dan Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Licensing Agreements cost money. Last time I checked, Cedar Fair didn't have any money...
coaster_junky Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Well, it was either that or peanuts...or crabby patties! or krabby patties
skaterboy22101 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Well, it was either that or peanuts...or crabby patties! or krabby patties Did you just correct "Trepy"? zOmg!
coaster_junky Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 wow, i just realized i done something i never thought i would do.
skaterboy22101 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 this worries me though....Where is "Trepy" at?
Beast1979 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I have been noticing that too, I believe he is out enjoying the night rows......
coaster_junky Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 i just wish he would check in every now and then. I MISS TERPY
The Interpreter Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Terpy has been doing what Terpies do during times like these....and no, no night rows...at least not yet...but soon. Perhaps...if stuff will just stop happening so darn rapidly for at least a while. Terpy, who appreciates y'alls' thoughts...and is glad to be back around these precincts...
Oldiesmann Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I can't figure out why they would schedule a concert like that at Bogart's to begin with. I've never been there myself, but from what I've heard, Bogart's isn't exactly a family-friendly venue. Then there's the parking issue (though UC has plenty of parking this time of year).
TOPGUN1993 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Is Nickelodeon leaving? - Lake Charles Guy The Nick licensing agreement expires at the end of 2009. At this point, that is all the information that is available. When does the contract end for Kings Dominion to have the rights to use Scooby-Doo characters/themeing? - BuschSchoe Nickelodeon's is up at the end of the 2009 season. Scooby can stick around for a while, KD does not have a specific end date. Could Hanna-Barbera ever come back? - Lake Charles Guy Possibly, but we must take into account, brand power. Once the contract does end with the Nickelodeon and Scooby-Doo characters/theming, are you going to use Peanuts theming like the rest of the Cedar Fair parks? - BuschSchoe It is too soon to assume that we will not renew with Nickelodeon http://kdfansite.com/blog/
The Interpreter Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 It should be noted that that information was posted on May 11, and can be assumed to be correct at the time it was posted. Certain things have changed since that time.
