TH13TEEN Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 ^ True, true. I was just saying that it really isn't a bad name. And I'm just getting tired of people complaining. I just didn't know how much a rollercoaster name ment to someone... Quote
CedarPointer Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Invertigo is one of the less sucky names... I wish, in PS, they had gone with less character namesake rides- like Lolli Swing at CP, and Character Carousel at KI. Tied into the theme, but not named after a character. (that would avoid multiple "Linus" rides) Quote
kjkjkj Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 The only one I don't really like is "Snoopy Surf Dog" If they were going to go for a Snoopy Surfer theme, I would have made the name more creative like "Surf's Up! Snoopy" I don't know.... Quote
TH13TEEN Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 ^ That actually sounds a whole lot better. A little word swap and bam... Quote
CoasterFreak45 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Race for Your Life Charlie Brown reminds me of some kind of horror movie. I'm interested to see how they will theme that ride. Quote
kjkjkj Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 ^ I'm guessing they would theme it like a raft race at Camp Remote....like in the PEANUTS movie, Race For Your Life Charlie Brown..... Quote
Tomkatt7 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 We're #1! We're #1! That will have to be in there somewhere! Quote
JAHill Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 We're #1! We're #1! That will have to be in there somewhere! Well, KI is The Fun and Only, after all. It would only make sense to include that. Quote
KIfan1980 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I like the names, I'll have to tell GatorGirl what they are tonight. She's been looking forward to them as much as I have. I actually tortured her a little bit over this past weekend by showing her the picture of Snoopy out in the snow in the parking lot. She loved it! So tonight, I gathered the 6.5 year old and the almost 4 year old around the computer and showed them the new names. I've been teasing them with the KI facebook pictures and we even stopped at passenger pickup to look at the blue paint on "Woodstock Express" earlier this week - which caused the question "but what is it going to be called this year?" to be asked many times. Their verdict on the names and website images - excitement, laughter, smiles. I'm guessing this is what CF/KI would have wanted. They also immediately recognized Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Woodstock - although for the life of me I can't tell you why they should know them. I'd also note that they also liked FOC, Flyers, Reptar, and River Adventure the last couple of years despite never watching Cosmo & Wanda, Danny Phantom, Rugrats, or Wild Thornberries (assuming those are the correct names of the shows). To me, this indicates that the cheaper option was the better option for the park, although I'll follow others and wait for a final assessment until I see the actual in park decor. Quote
RingMaster Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 We're #1! We're #1! That will have to be in there somewhere! If it's not in the actual ride, let me be the first to request a group trip JUST to ride RFYLCB and scream "We're #1!" while riding. The Great Pumpkin Coaster came out of nowhere, in my opinion. I'm hoping for a pumpkin patch in the middle of the ride, with a fiberglass Linus sitting on top of a giant pumpkin. Quote
irishfirefighter Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 do they know what they are going to call spoange bob squarepants 3d ride yet and what about the food court for planted snoopy. Quote
Browntggrr Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Meh, names.... does it matter? Anything is better than Fairly Odd Coaster. Now if they would re-name SoB to Fairly Odd Coaster, that would fit. Quote
Jamesv7 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I think the names fit perfectly and hope CF will do a good job with the theme of the area. I can't believe I just typed that Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 We're #1! We're #1! That will have to be in there somewhere! Well, KI is The Fun and Only, after all. It would only make sense to include that. I've been wondering for some time...Wonder if any other former Paramount Park or legacy Cedar Fair park is also The Fun and Only? It wouldn't be the first time for such a thing! Quote
alluna Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Did anyone listen to the Fun & Only jingle on YouTube? Good grief. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Did anyone listen to the Fun & Only jingle on YouTube? Good grief. The jingle turned out better than I though it would. Sounds much better than me saying it. Loved your good grief, took me a second to get it though! Quote

Sounds much better than me saying it. Loved your good grief, took me a second to get it though! Around our house when someone is disappointed, we also say 'I got a rock.' in reference to Charlie Brown's trick-or-treat experience. I can already see my kids deadpanning this when they win deformed stuffed animals in Planet Snoopy this year. Quote
bsktgrvy Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 That's a good point, though. I think a lot more young kids know about Charlie Brown than we think due to the Christmas and Halloween specials still being shown yearly. Quote
Outdoor Man Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 i was pulling for a surprise intro to a retheme as "Itchy and Scratchy Land." Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 So tonight, I gathered the 6.5 year old and the almost 4 year old around the computer and showed them the new names.

My daughter was excited to learn the ride names too. And then of course the next question was "When can we ride them?" The Great Pumpkin Coaster came out of nowhere, in my opinion. I'm hoping for a pumpkin patch in the middle of the ride, with a fiberglass Linus sitting on top of a giant pumpkin. I'm hoping for the cars to be painted like pumpkins! Around our house when someone is disappointed, we also say 'I got a rock.' in reference to Charlie Brown's trick-or-treat experience. That's funny, I do the same thing from time to time! Quote
CrashOverRided Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Meh, names.... does it matter? Anything is better than Fairly Odd Coaster. Now if they would re-name SoB to Fairly Odd Coaster, that would fit. Good Point, Sir Quote
CincyMan98 Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 I know a lot about Charlie Brown - I know the famous lines, such as "I got a rock". So I don't really care about the names of the rides. Now my 4 year sister is a different story...... Quote
westcoaster Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 this might have been posted what is the status on Scooby's haunted castle??? Is it gone is it rethemed or what? Quote
CedarPointer Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 this might have been posted what is the status on Scooby's haunted castle??? Is it gone is it rethemed or what? IIRC, the park has hinted at a retheme. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 ...and said it remains a part of International Street...thus not part of Planet Snoopy, and thus no announcement as to name or theme as of yet.... Quote
RingMaster Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 If, by some odd chance, they gave the ride a massive overhaul by adding Disney-quality sets and animatronics and fixing the guns so they actually work, and kept it a secret all this time, then I will be amazed. However, if they wait until the last minute just to say they just renamed the ride like "Boo Blasters on Boo Hill" and did nothing to enhance the ride (minus taking out anything having to do with Scooby-Doo), then I will be livid. Quote
kjkjkj Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 You would think if they were going to just remove Scooby characters from the ride, then they would be able to just do it in house. But they said they are bringing Sally Darkrides in to retheme it. Quote
CedarPointer Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 The only scene that would need major changes is the last sceen. As I recall, many of the Scooby-specific props were already shut off on 11/1/09. Since the last scene could easily be covered with black sheets and turned into some sort of generic "You did it!" room, I have a feeling that they're doing more major changes. The other problem scenes would be Scooby in bed (although that could just be shut off), and Shaggy at the organ (could be covered up or repainted to look like a different character). Quote
JAHill Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 My guess is we're getting this.Little work would need to be done and some new sets could be added by Sally. However, if you watch closely and compare both Scooby's sets with these, there are very little differences minus the Scooby characters. Quote
Coney Islander Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 ^ That looks much, much better than Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle... Most of the props in SCATHC are static. In this one, everything moves besides the walls and the ceiling. Not only this, but it has a much scarier and more interesting finale. SDATHC's ending is sort of boring, and is NOT scary. Quote
