Change Planet Snoopy to something current kids watch, maybe cartoon network current shows because if Nickelodeon Universe was to come back, the current Nick shows are...strange. But I'd rather see Finn and Jake high fiving kids rather than sanjay and craig barfing on people.

Wait..what? Sorry for getting off topic, but, Cartoon Network shows are 1,000x weirder than Nick shows...

Adventure Time, while funny, is weird, Regular Show is weird, don't even get me started on Uncle Grandpa...

If I saw Uncle Grandpa walking around Kings Island I would freak out.

Cartoon Network is Time Warner, licensor to Six Flags...

That won't be happening any time soon.

It is also a registered trademark, and, as such, is always capitalized. In this case, in more ways than one.

Exactly, might as well hope they change it to a Disney theme. The odds of it happening are about the same.

Kings Island 1970-1984 Owned by Taft Broadcasting, an American media conglomerate based in Cincinnati, Ohio.The company is notable for having been the owner of such major media and entertainment properties as Hanna-Barbera Productions. 1984 was purchased for $167.5 million by senior executives and general managers of Taft's Amusement Park Group to form Kings Entertainment Company.1992, the company was sold to Paramount Communications and later acquired by Viacom, then the parent of Paramount Pictures. As part of the 2005 Viacom split, ownership of Paramount Parks was transferred to the CBS Corporation. CBS, in turn, sold the parks to Cedar Fair Entertainment Company on June 30, 2006. Until of late KI has always been a reflection of what company owned them. In turn you will most likley never see scooby doo or and nickelodeon stuff at the park. Unless Cedar Fair is bought out by disney and turns KI into a starwars theme.

I know this is different, but I'd like Enchanted Theater back as a replacement for Peanuts Playhouse, with a small coaster replacing Peanuts Playhouse- KI could use a small spinning coaster, and that'd be a neat location. However, I would *not* like the infamous show involving Fred Flintstone dancing with a carrot back...

True Story, we were heading down to my mother in laws Monday evening to do some cookie decorating when the christmas Peanuts song came on the radio. W/o hesitating, our 5 year old sitting in the back shouts out "Kings Island". We drive past a Mike's car wash when leaving Costco in Mason, and our 5 year old spots the Peanuts characters painted on the windows, he almost always mentions Kings Island. He spots the Snoopy Blimp in the air and he mentions Kings Island.

You may not think kids watch peanuts, but their characters are seen around town in various forms of marketing all the time and at least for our 5 year old, and I suspect, but don't know, many other young kids, the Peanut Characters are associated w/ the good times at Kings Island more so than the TV specials a handful of times a year. The Peanuts are classic and timeless, they bring a certain level of familarity b/w grandparents, their adult children and their grandchildren, the kind of familarity and good times the Cedar Fair company is attempting to replicate in their parks around the country.

Put in an adventure time themed ride, and grandma and grandpa have no idea what their grandchild is talking about that they brought to KI for a day while he visited during the summer.

Demon Drop was one of the few rides that actually gave me the chills whens I was riding it

It might seem like a silly comment, but it might have legitimately been the most THRILLING ride in the park. You definitely get butterfiles at the top of that thing that you don't get on other rides at CP.

Why is everyone so down on Snoopy? Not only does my 3 year old love watching the Peanuts shows, but also loves the Snoopy theme at Kings Island. She has to give the photo op. Snoopy a hug and get her picture taken every time we go. Also the one with Snoopy and Woodstock on the bench. As for what ride I would like to see return. King Cobra was my favorite, but a more reasonable request would be a return of Flying Eagles.

I agree with others saying the Peanuts theme is good for the kids area. It might not be as mainstream but most people know them, at least from the holiday specials. Plus they are classic, timeless characters. The theming to current shows grows dated fast and the shows become mostly forgotten after awhile so it would need to be constantly updated.

I think Boo Blasters should be removed and have the ride incorporated into Planet Snoopy as a Peanuts dark ride, maybe a Great Pumpkin theme. Could still be a shooter and the simple characters and designs would lend to a better look for a cheap dark ride in the building than boo blasters does.

Would like to see ACtion Theatre either restored or a new dark ride put in there, maybe have a return of Phantom Theatre placed back there, could fit in with the boardwalk theme.

A new high tech dark ride like Canada's Wonderland is getting for Action Zone or Rivertown. Would love something like Curse of Darkastle but probably won't get something that nice.

See Tomb Raider brought back to its original glory.

A Screamin Swing in X-Base

Flying Eagles brought back

A giga that runs back by Banshee and The Bat. Could reuse Son of Beast's station for it. Soemthing like I-305 that has some big hills but also hugs the terrain.

Soemthing similar to Maverick as well.

Antique cars brought back. Agree with the poster who said they would fit well where Dinosaurs Alive is. (Side note would be nice if Kings Island gave Gold and Platinum pass holders free access like Kings Dominion will have)

Well, isn't that a Boomerang?

I'm glad people care for the dry park, no posts here on my favorite place.

I'd like one Boomerang Bay please, with new paint, and a new slide complex where the existing wave pool is, 3 slides, a drop box, a Tornado 24, and a TornadoWAVE.

Oh, and don't forget my Eagles, Ghoster Coaster, Phantom Theater, and don't forget the Antiques.

I may want a purchase of the Cartoon Network "Hannah Barberra" cartoons, from the proper liscense distributor.

Lastly, keep the monkeys far away from Kings Island, no one needs that monkey business.

I believe that they need a King Cobra again and some flying scooters!

Was King Cobra the stand-up coaster? I remember seeing that on a Kings Island T.V. special once and was disappointed it wasn't there during my first visit, looked fun.

King Cobra was a great ride. I did not like the restraints though. The Mantis as Cedar Point is another one that I like the ride, but really don't care for the restraints.
