The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Well, given that Apollo almost certainly will NOT be acquiring Cedar Fair LP, at least not at $11.50 per unit... What was that Q again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 It was a Q of management, I believe. Out with the old, in with the new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frisbeefan Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 All I hope is that they still keep the shooting thing. That makes it real fun! If Sally Corperation is part of the retheme than this could be similar to what KI could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Oh my god did I really say that on November last year? At this point, I don't even care whether they keep the guns or not! But that ride looks cool, yet exactly the same as Scooby Doo besides Scooby...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 ...and the fact the guns actually work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frisbeefan Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Who knows maybe they will do a rehab on the guns as well. I can hope can't I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 All I ever hear from my friends is that many of the cars have had their guns removed, still more have inoperable guns, and the cars that do have guns do not emit a visible laser, or even a visible red dot on the wall, thus making targeting near impossible. Perhaps it's that that Sally Corp is being brought in to change, and not the themeing so much? After all, as far as I've heard, ours is the only of the Scooby rides that was literally falling apart one gun / prop at a time. Having ridden Kings Dominion's just last year, I found it to be really incredible and for the first time realized we really did get gypped. Perhaps the tables will turn?

kjkjkj Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Well on the 5@5 I asked if it would be drastically different than Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle, and they said It will be a whole new dark ride experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Well, what else would they say? "No, it won't be that diffferent - we're just taking out the Scooby Doo figures." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Well, what else would they say? "No, it won't be that diffferent - we're just taking out the Scooby Doo figures." I love it...lately you have been posting things that I have been thinking...and I don't have to take any heat for being "cranky". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkjkj Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Well no, I don't think they would word it like that, but if it wasn't going to be drastically different then they could have just as easily not answered my question at all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 kjkjkj, I mean this in the nicest/sincerest way...I truly wish that I was still as optimistic as you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkjkj Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I try to stay as optimistic as possible about things *cough*Son of Beast reopening and Cedar Fair's theming ability to improve*cough* hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 We pessimists are seldom disappointed, as we are either proven right or pleasantly surprised when we are not... Terpy, who'd rather be a pessimist than a cynic...or, as he has often been called, a crudmudgeon (and no, that is not spelled incorrectly...)

Coney Islander Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I just woke up from a Boo Blasters dream, and as I got out of bed I had this conclusion: Maybe Cedar Fair scavenged some of the theme from the Castle for the two Boo Blaster rides, and maybe Kings Island brought in Sally Corp to indeed create a whole new experience. It makes some sense to me that 3 partial rethemes might be more expensive than a single whole retheme... Also, its 20 days until Kings Island's opening, and Cedar Fair has released pictures all over the new Planet Snoopy, but not one exterior shot of the castle.

CoastersRZ Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Patience, young grass hopper. Things will be revealed in due time. Besides wouldn't you rather be surprised by the new experience than let down from over hype of the experience? Like I said in another thread, if KI's new dark ride experience has some of the same new effects as CarowindsBoo Blasters on Boo Hill I will be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see the exterior in the background durign the WLWT news report about a week ago, and nothing major was seen. However, the castle was quite a-ways back, so there could be some things added.
