OHfamilyguy Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Planet Snoopy will take some getting used to. My kids love Noggin and Nick and all of the characters. But looking past this "questionable decision" for financial purposes....... What are some predictions for how current rides can be changed? The options are somewhat limited since Nick had a variety of characters and cartoons. Let's assume rides remain primarily in tact with only some retheming done. Avatar - becomes Surf's Up with Snoopy or Charlie Brown as the character Fairly Odd Coaster - returns to The Beastie? Swiper's Sweepers - becomes Snoopy's Sweepers with Snoopy statue in center Blue Skidoo - becomes Red Baron airplane ride Runaway Reptar - becomes Woodstock Reptar and dinosaur statue remains Little Bill Coaster - becomes Linus Giggle Coaster with Linus decals Wild Thornberry's - removes association with Snoopy and enters Rivertown area on map or maybe has affiliation with the Great Boat Race Charlie Brown Nick Jr Drivers - becomes Peanuts Drivers as statues are replaced with Pepermint Patty, Sally, Linus, and gang Nick Go Round - becomes Schroeder Go Round as Chalie Brown theme music is played Action theater - returns to having movies like the stunt theater show from 1998 Halloween events could get better with emphasis on the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown but rides seem limited on characters to associate with each. Ideas??? Get creative!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Sorry but those aren't very good predictions Runaway Reptar - Woodstock Express (like Cedar Point) Blue's Skidoo - Red Baron Avatar - Lucy's Voyage Fairly Odd Coaster - Beastie (hopefully) Nick Jr. Drivers - Peanuts Highway Nick Go Round - Charlie's Carousel Backyardigan's Swings - Snoopy's Swingers Swiper's Sweepers - Snoopy's Street Race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TombraiderTy Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Looking at the other Snoopy areas at Cedar Point and Dorney Park, it seems that Snoopy and Woodstock are really the only characters used with rides (alright, saw Charlie Brown makes it into a ride-name occasionally, and there's one ride with Lucy in it at Knott's Berry Farm, and Chuck and Peppermint Patty somehow made it into Camp Snoopy at Dorney Park). Also looking at some other Snoopy areas, it seems as if most rides are generically named- "Lolliswings", "Balloon Race", ect. I wouldn't be surprised if the same was done at Kings Island. Also, worth noting are La Adventura de Azul and Blue's Skidoo both have ride vehicles in the shape of characters. However, I don't think the current vehicles on La Adventura de Azul would be difficult to modify, and if they were, they could return to the former ride vehicles for that attraction (pre-2006, when Nickelodeon Universe took-over). With Blue's Skidoo, I wouldn't be surprised to see the former Biplanes used, from when it was Dick Dastardly's Biplanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandAddict Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I would pay Cedar Fair to return the name of Fairly Odd Coaster to The Beastie. And... maybe add the tunnel again? I never rode it like that, so I'm not sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_BEASTmaster Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Here's Mine: Runaway Reptar --> Snoopy & the Red Baron Little Bill's Giggle Coaster --> Woodstock Express Fairly Odd Coaster --> Beastie Wild Thornberries River Adventure --> Kings Mills Log Flume (give back to Rivertown) I do like what Scooby-Doo's list has too.

CedarPointer Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 WTRA reverting to Kings Mills Log Flume would be easy for the park (just remove the coconuts, elephants, and a few other things) and would bring Diamondback more into Rivertown.

CoastersRZ Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Here here with that one. Although, the way the elephant sprays now does not drench riders as much as it used to when the ride was first rethemed to the Thornberrys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Oh, you guys are talking about Wild Thornberry's? Well, they'd probably change it to Snoopy spitting on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast1979 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of Snoopy's This and Woodstock's That with some generic names or generic Peanuts thrown in. FOC going back to Beastie is hard for me to see, especially the tunnel at the bottom of the drop, but hey, it is nostalgic! And seeing Thornberries go back to Rivertown as Kings Mills Log Flume would excite me greatly. The addition of Diamondback helped a lot, but Rivertown could still needs a bit more theming and rides, and that would be a perfect fit for the area.

Coaster Kid Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Maybe they could take crypt and add it to the kiddie area and call it Snoopys adventures in a ferris wheel in a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterfun Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Here is some of the names from other Snoopy themed areas: Woodstock's Airmail, Red Baron, Joe Cool's GR8 SK8, Camp bus, Lucy's Tugboat, Flying Ace Balloon Race, Charlie Brown Speedway, Peanuts 500, Woodstock Express, Snoopy's Deep Sea Divers, Peanuts Road Rally, Woodstock's Whirlybirds, Kite eating tree, Snoopy's space race, Snoopy's Express Railroad, Woodstock's Birdbath, Charlie Brown's swings, Charlie Brown's windup, Linus' Beetle bugs, Peanuts Playhouse, and Peanuts Yacht Club. Which one of these would fit best on the existing rides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Maple The Tree King Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I predict Reptar will be renamed "Woodstock's Flight School." They'll put a plywood sign showing the birds at the front entrance, change the queue line movie to a peanuts vhs tape bought at Goodwill, they won't repaint the ride and they'll rip out the giant Reptar statue out front, replacing it with nothing. Maybe move the smoking section over ther (not that they'd enforce it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosoraptor Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 If the Fairly Odd Coaster returns to its Beastie status, tunnel included, that would entirely redeem this revamp for me. (plus, that way KI can keep two Beast-related coasters even after SOB is put out of its misery. haha.) Also, a Red Baron re-theming of Runaway Reptar would be kind of kickass. Too bad I'm too tall to ride it these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
