I was trying to explain the area to him the other day and he was about in tears that they took it out. Even as an adult, I loved that thing. It was very convenient for hot days. Most of my nostalgia is geared toward the Hanna-Barbera days. But as a kid, I did enjoy when they initially placed Nickelodeon in the park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Resurrecting the thread again. I know I'm a little old for this. I'm 17 years old, but this song from the show Lazytown actually makes me think of the Nickelodeon days of Kings Island! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazytown Sporticopters was the name. Mainly named after Sportacus' Airship. That's mainly why that song makes me think of the Nickelodeon days of Kings Island because I rode that ride a lot when I was little. Even though they never played that song (at least when I was there). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Came across this old commercial from 2006. Anyone remember this commercial from back then? Also I had no idea the area behind Surf Dog (then Avatar) was known as "Dora's Explorer Corner" which makes sense seeing how the rides back there were themed around Dora the Explorer lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastfan11 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Man, Nick Universe was a lot of fun. And as I alluded to in past posts in this thread, NU was the reason I came across this site all those years ago. So it has a special place in my heart. That was a cool off season leading up to NU. I remember riding in the back of my parents car on the interstate and passing the park, just being able to catch a glimpse of Avatar with my old camcorder. The hype was real. At least for me. I was at the right age for all of that, honestly. It was the best. Being born in the early 90’s, I grew up with Nicktoons and the Hannah Barbara stuff on Cartoon Network. It made going to the park feel like going to Disneyland. Wild. I do wish there was still a place at the park for the HB characters. I miss them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that was a fun offseason to be an Ohio thoosie with the development of Nick Universe as well as Skyhawk and the early development of Maverick at CP. I was 3 and in my first year of preschool at the time and wasn't into KI at the time. I didn't start being that interested in KI until a few years later lol so obviously I have no memory of this. You know whats kinda funny is there are sorta some parallels between this season and the 2006 season with KI opening an expanded kids area and the upcoming potential Six Flags merger that sounds very similar to 2006 with the Nick U expansion and the CF aquisition that summer. Makes me wonder if we're about to see history repeat itself (I hope not as Camp Snoopy looks so nice). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkyFoxx Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I was an older teen in 2006. Crazy to think about that now. But I have fond memories of Nick U. I didn't think much of it at the time. Paramount was really all I knew for the most part as my first trip to the park was in/around '92 and I was very small. But post that, my formative years were spent with the Paramount Days and Nick U/HB still cohabitating the kids area. There was definitely an energy and magic to it that I miss. It's nice to see other folk's memories here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
