westcoaster Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Going around the park on a 2 day stint, sunday and monday: I'm feeling nick is gone. It will in my opinion be replaced: with monkeys: (there are monkeys all over Kings Island). and scooby. Scooby merchandise is everywhere!!! Whats your thoughts???? Talking with some and to save Cedar Fair money : they sell scooby stuff due to sally rights i'm sure???? but : Why not Pigzville: Where you have pigs' and pigs rides: like: Blues clues: Flying Pig the atom smasher: Pig'bumping (you ride in pigs) etc. etc. : Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Sally rights give the park the right to have the ride themed to Scooby for a set period of time...they do NOT apply to merchandise other than that associated with the ride. I am sure Time Warner is most happy to allow Cedar Fair to sell authentic Scooby merchandise, as they are with most any other retailer. And I see enough pigs in the park the way it is, many of them underdressed. Quote
Cormaster Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I've heard the rumor about Nick Universe going away since 2007. It ain't happening. Next year the I'll go to Kings Island and I'll see Nick Universe once again! Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 If you do, it's going to be interesting where the money comes from to pay for it. The Nick license is up after this season. Viacom wants several boatloads of money to renew it...an item Cedar Fair seems to have in relatively short supply at the moment. Would you be willing to pay many, many more nickels to keep Nick Universe the same? Quote
Beast1979 Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 As long as it isn't Nickelodeon Universe, chances are I will be happy. I watch Nickelodeon (Or did), and the last thing I want is to see it at my home park! Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 ...because every trip to your home park should be a great adventure. Terpy, who just HAD to Quote
Beast79 Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Back in 06 when myself and the guys from Florida was installing all the Nick stuff we would joke and say I guess we all will be back in4 years and take everything out and retheme it to what ever they decide to do by then. Quote

Would you be willing to pay many, many more nickels to keep Nick Universe the same? I guess it depends on the ROI the park gets in exchange for its investment. I know that Nick wins golden ticket awards almost every year and that many families come specifically for the NIck stuff, so the park may see it as a good investment...however, there will be an amount above which CF will not go..time will tell. ps--great comment about the pigs! so true..

coaster_junky Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 so if Cedar Fair does remove nick u. next year, will the web-cam be turned so we can watch the re-construction of it? and i just had a great idea for avatar: the last airbender, paint the track and car/buggie/or whatever you call it, and then replace the giant avatar with the red baron Quote
westcoaster Posted July 8, 2009 Author Posted July 8, 2009 But will Kings Island keep best kids area???? and will Cedar Fair do a great remodel job??? Time will tell: Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 This is already being discussed here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17735 Quote
