IndyGuy4KI Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I talked to my 4 year old this evening, and told him that the place we go ride rides this next year will have Snoopy and Charlie Brown. He was very excited. What is the reaction from your Kidos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback96 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well, I (obviously) don't have kids, but my mom is mad about Scooby leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coney Islander Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 My mom likes the Snoopy theme and my dad doesn't like it. I, myself like the Snoopy theme more than Nick Universe, though I strongly dislike how different the Cedar Fair Peanuts characters look from the Peanuts comic book/ television characters. And where are Linus, Patty Shroeder, etc.? // Also, I really like the Camp Snoopy name and theming, but Planet Snoopy? It doesn't make any sense, and will likely just be a generic midway.

faeriewench Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Both my parents had the "FINALLY" reaction when they found out Nicktoons are finally leaving....much like I did, ha. Both aren't happy bout Scooby... Being why myself, Undertaker, my dad and my brother went on closing day to say goodbye to Hanna Barbera... my mom was like "why can't Snoopy and Scooby share?" And speaking of brother...he got semi upset about the Nicktoons, but much more grief for Scooby tho x.x My other brother actually don't even know the change is taking place. He's a non verbal autistic. He wouldn't understand. He probably wouldn't care at all bout Nicktoons. He is more familiar and loves both Snoopy and Scooby cause me and him actually grew up with all that. The only Nickelodeon he knows is Rugrats, Rockos Modern Life etc (stuff that isnt even shown on the main channel anymore...) In other words he has not watched Nickelodeon in 6+ years. I tell parents with kids "kids don't know who Snoopy is? well turn your tv the heck on now cause *insert holiday special here* is on. Get them aquainted" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'm utterly crestfallen that Scooby is leaving. It's been at the park since it's opening, making it go doesn't feel right. I'm utterly overjoyed that Nick is leaving. Over the last few years Nickelodeon (The TV channel) has become downright garbage. There's iCarly, Spongebob, and then whatever other "Filler Shows" that seem to last a few months before Nick decides to throw something else at the wall and see if it sticks. The TV shows themselves have become horribly repetitive, with the same ideas and the same plot lines for every episode. The characters are abrasive and trashy, and the comedy is non apparent. Having them at Kings Island makes me feel surrounded by something that IMO doesn't deserve to be there, and shouldn't be there considering their target audience. [/rant] I'm off the walls excited that Snoopy is coming. Peanuts has always been one of my favorite shows of all time, even though there's only a handful or so of episodes out there. The characters are adorable and very likable, the plots are original (Anyone ever notice how recent shows have started taking off of old TV show plots?) and Snoopy is the single greatest animated character of all time IMO. I also think that some of my love for Peanuts has to do with personal history with them. Some of the best times of my life have either been spent around the TV with my family watching It's the Great Pumpkin, or sitting in front of the fire watching A Charlie Brown Christmas, even to the extent of going to Cedar Point (My favorite park on Earth) and being surrounded by the lovable characters of Snoopy, Charlie, Linus, Lucy and the gang. I have some history with the Peanuts and having them come to Kings Island just makes me ecstatic, for all the obvious reasons. And by the way, no offense but if you say "My kids have never seen Snoopy before" or "Don't know who they are", In my Opinion that's kinda sad. Snoopy is in the newspaper comics everyday, the Holiday Specials are on TV for days, and are some of the most famous of all time, and you say they've never seen them? I'm just dumbfounded. You've never even bothered to take half an hour of your night, take the munchkins to the TV and watch a Snoopy special? You've never taken the time to show you're kids the single most famous animated show in the history of TV? Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 If CF slaps some Snoopy cutouts in and removed the great theming Paramount installed, then I will be disappointed. Considering that it is Planet Snoopy and not Camp Snoopy, that's what I'm expecting. I don't mind Nick itself leaving (Scooby is another matter), but the level of theming.

The Interpreter Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 ...because Paramount did such a great job converting Phantom Theater to Scooby and The Haunted Castle? Terpy, half funnin' ya, but half serious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Compared to no theming or CF theming (same thing, really, in most cases), it's good. And SDatHC is in International Street, remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbfan Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Quick question that I have never figured out, when all of Hanna Barbara left, why did jut scooby stay? Was it on a seperate contract? (waits for terpy to answer in the next 5 minutes...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 That was indeed apparently the case....there are those who say Scooby has a lifetime contract to be in the park, but I doubt that is the case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterfun Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 My 7 yr-old niece is thrilled to see a "bigger" Planet Snoopy next year. She loved the one at Cedar Point esp. the kite eating tree. She also liked Nick U but isn't upset that it wont be there next year. I don't know if she will embrace a generic dark ride to replace Scooby though. . . . .

KIfan1980 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 On closing day I explained to my kids that this would be their last rides on the rides with Nick names. The first question asked was - are they taking out or changing the rides? When I responded that I thought most of the rides would be the same just with different characters, I got the following response. "Oh, ok" Not even a question as to what the character names might be.

hamoperator Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Peanut and Red are not happy about it, they liked The Scooby Doo GM ride; thank goodness they are just out of that age group and are now on the bigger rides in the park.

SOB_TOM Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Between my 7 nieces and nephews, ranging from 2-13, not one could have cared less if it was Nick, Scooby, or Snoopy..... As for me, I really do not have an opinion, other than CF better get this right, this is the one that shapes the opinion of those casual park goers on how well CF does things....

tycoonrebel7188 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 While we are talking about Planet Snoopy, I want to throw out there that I really hope we see construction updates. I think it would be neat to have a page like the Construction Pictures updates that were on the Diamondback site last off season, but I don't see that happening. Does anyone else believe that we will only see occasional updates on the Kings Island Insider Blog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 It's a retheme, not an overhawl. I don't see very much happening out there at all besides the signs being swapped out, maybe a paint job or two redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I don't think we'll see a word about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tycoonrebel7188 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 ^^Regardless, it is still something to keep us occupied during the off season. Not so sure i can stand reading about Meep being banned at schools. And I understand what you are saying Beast1979, a few new signs and paint, but I personally have never like the Nicktoons in the Kids area. I grew up with the HB characters and even managed to work at SDAHC in 2005, so I would like to see the transformation. My guess is i'm not the only one either.

CedarPointer Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I wonder what/if color Runaway Reptar will be in 2010. Yellow and green. That'll make a whole lot of sense, but I doubt CF will spend the nickels to repaint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
