IslandAddict Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 WARNING: Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I searched it up and couldn't find anything along the lines of this. If it was spoken of before, please tell me. I was looking on Kings Island's Wiki page and found this: It was announced on October 23rd 2009 that Scooby Doo&The Haunted Castle will be transformed In To Charlie Brown & The Haunted House for 2010. This area is becoming Planet Snoopy for 2010 But what kind of made me sit and think were all the errors. I'm not sure what to think of this. If it was someone on here, than, wow. What are your thoughts on this? Like I said, sorry if this was posted before. I haven't been on here in a few days and haven't really followed any of the discussions.

bkroz Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Not true. I actually deleted it from the Wikipedia page earlier today. There have been (and likely won't be til late winter) any press releases about Planet Snoopy's names. More than likely, the first we'll hear about new names is either with the park map's release or with a website overhaul, such as what happened when the Paramount names became Cedar Fair (Tomb Raider --> Crypt, Top Gun --> Flight Deck, etc) back in January 2008.

Diamondback96 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Then someone put it back. Then I removed it Edit: Or did I edit it first, then it was put back up, and you removed it. Did you delete the thing about NU being turned into PS next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Did you delete the thing about NU being turned into PS next year? No. I only deleted the sentence about the "announcement" that it was becoming Charlie Brown at the Haunted House. That's the only sentence I changed. I probably should've gone back and made the paragraph run more smoothly haha. But hey, it's Wikipedia. And how many people who aren't Kings Island fanatics are going to be looking up the Scooby Doo and Haunted Mansion page? Regardless, I think we can count that as our good deed for the day!

The Interpreter Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 One thing this should show others. Wikipedia is never a reliable source as it can be edited, again and again, to change things so they are right...or not right. And at any time during that process, our reader can come in and read things that are right...or not right...or more likely, both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I also fixed that and a lot of other name changes someone made about a week and a half ago. Someone is a trolling.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to make sure it was false before doing anything. I hadn't been on here or been involved with Kings Island for awhile and I didn't quite know if it could possibly be true.

Coasterfun Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 New ride names at Carowinds Planet Snoopy http://www.carowinds.com/attractions/category.cfm?ac_id=7 I fixed the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 That link isn't working for me. I wonder if the Phantom Flyers is going to be themed along Charlie Brown's kite-flying misadventures. Anyway, as fast as last season went by, the new names will be revealed before we know it.

CedarPointer Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I hope it has decent enough theming that it does not need annoyingly loud guns to keep the ride entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yeah I agree with the whole gun thing, I just don't like it, hope they take it out. But probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I just wish they'd mute that PWOO PWOO PWOO PWOO PWOO sound. It drives me insane. I usually end up putting my hand over the back of the gun so I don't have to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually end up putting my hand over the back of the gun so I don't have to hear it. it was pretty insanely loud, but not as bad as the loudspeaker for when people are standing up or touching props. that thing is beyond rediculously loud!!!

CedarPointer Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 However, that's for guest safety. The PWOO PWOO PWOO was just annoying, especially when you're riding with someone who is very trigger happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Technically, holding down the trigger throughout the entire ride sends the laser out continuously. That's what I always did. Just hold the trigger down and swing the gun around wildly, you get quite a few targets hit that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSonofBeast Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 i think the accuracy goes down when you do that though... i learned that if you shoot less you would end up with more hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast79 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I always liked it when they had to slow down for wheel chairs, you could bring up your points up quick while sitting there for 30 seconds to 1 minute! With most of the scenery been stock items I can see them cutting cost by keeping it a haunted attraction but it would be nice if they just completely revamped it by making it themed after all the peanut cartoon specials like Christmas and Halloween for an example.

MarketingExpress Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'd be ok if they brought back an Enchanted Voyage type ride themed with different scenes from the many different Peanuts specials that have been created. They could even play the Linus and Lucy theme by the Vince Guaraldi Trio that has been associated with the Peanuts gang for decades now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarPointer Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Whatever they do, I hope they do it well. Even though SDatHC wasn't great, it's better than the only themed ride CF has built- Disaster Transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbfan Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 That's a good point Thrill Biscuit. That building is getting old, and thats a nice big area. I could see them wrecking it and building something else there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
