Return_of_Yogi Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Hence why I said " Hello Friend" in last post.............lil Bill's Tagline is that. Dont be surprised if thats not all thats new for entertainment......... Quote
GreenGhost2003 Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Yeah Lil Bill isnt that Popular is he? i guess i will be taking my Cousins this year to PKI so they should really like how Nick Central is Turning out with Spongebob,Patrick Star,The Fairly Odd Parents,Rugrats there to greet them...But most importantly i wanna take em so they can Ride & See Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle in person Quote
PKI Punk Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 I would like to see Bob the Builder like everyone said, he is pretty popular among kids, definately more than Lil Bill. Quote
Beastfreak Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Dont be surprised if thats not all thats new for entertainment......... They won't be... There will also be the daily (or almost daily) Nickelodeon Parade. A new and improved Paramount Theatre with a new "movie" revealing how movie magic comes to life. Again both things mentioned at No Coaster Con in Chicago and going in at all Paramount Parks. Quote
SML828 Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Entertainment is really goin down the crapper... Each year it slowly gets worse and worse... I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the department disappears (for the most part) within the next couple years... Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Nickeldeon Parade? Sounds Paramount is goin with a DISNEY angle! Quote
Shman Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 Don't get your hopes too high about the Nick Parade.....it is only a short run special event, kinda-like the Tomb Raider show, and don't expect anything of Disney quality, the parks don't have that great of a budget. It is traveling through the Paramount Park circuit and will only be here for a few weeks (month tops...I think) Although I am glad to hear that the park is finally going through with the parade idea....it has been thrown around for years now, in fact that is one of the reason the HB arch was taken down. As for the paramount theater the new upgrades should be pretty nice, the benches were all falling apart, and it will be nice to see a better looking "theater" portion of the building.....now if only they would fix the leaky roof and dranage system As for what SML828.....as well as you know the department you should know that we are not going anywhere anytime soon. Some day it may come down to there only being one facility or one show left, but there will still be something there....it just won't be the high quality of the olden days. Quote
PKI Punk Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 Well like was said in a different post, PKI is going to try to become a theme park(like Disney). Maybe PKI will see how this parade idea goes and in a few years become almost lik Disney. Wow 100 Posts! Quote
SML828 Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 (edited) Shman - Yes I know it well never be entirely gone...That would be a sad day if that ever happened. But I gotta admit, I miss the old days...back when I was younger up to my first year @ ET & SP. That year was one of my favorite years ('96) in the park. Back when every facility had a show, plus there were swing shows, the TV Land Band (a good-enough equiv. to the Clown Band of yesteryear), and SP's show was at night. Can you believe we could actually fill that place multiple times in a week! Gotta love those ET/SP Double Shifts...they flew by! I didn't know PT was getting a makeover. That sounds like a good thing! Completely new benches or just fixed/cleaned? I guess it's just strange seein how much things have changed. I've heard rumors about the Nick show possibly not happening much longer - You know anything for sure about that? That would be a big mistake - getting rid of the last kid's show. I just can't imagine the park without a show with a character in it (still mourning ET!). See I did get it back to the character topic! Edited January 1, 1970 by SML828 Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 I agree with PKI PUNK Paramount Parks are becoming MOVIE BASED THEME PARKS which in my Opinion is a Great Idea Now i Think the Nick Parade is awsome wonderful idea The Tomb Raider Show Kicked major booty Now if Only Paramount would have Shows like Tomb Raider and Parades with the Nicktoons i think Adults and Kids, And the Young at heart would Love PKI more!i woulnt Mind seeing PKI or Paramount parks for that matter turn into a IOA or be more like Disney Quote
Dino2003 Posted January 27, 2004 Author Posted January 27, 2004 So There will be a Nicktoon Parade sounds Nifty..Nope Lil Bill ISNT that Popular BOB THE BUILDER Way MORE popular he even has a Movie Coming out with Harrison Ford giving his voice for that movie...but any way i just wanna see my Lil cousins and kids in general have fun...theres Nothing like making a Kids day! if you have kids or lil sibbling you know what iam talkin bout!

DA RIPPER Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 What about the Lord of the Rings? Is that a Paramount film ? even if it isn't it wouldnt be a bad ideal having chracters similar to those in the movie. Because of it's popularity and being up for 11 oscar nominations. kids would relate to it like Harry Potter. Quote
DegenRider Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 Lord of The Rings is a new line cinema release. Which falls under Warner Bros. Some of the Warner Brothers Movie Worlds in spain and down under use it aleady. I do not think that licence is available. Quote
WildCat Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 (edited) For those who are wondering why Bob The Builder is not in the park. Bob is owned by HIT Entertainment, not viacom. Little Bill on the hand, is owned by Viacom. Paramont Parks mostly proably didn't want to pay the licensing fees for the charcater to appear in the parks. Nicks still appear in the Universal Studio theme park in Hollywood and Orlando. I was done in December, I saw Tommy, Chuckie, and SpongeBob Squarepants. P.S. Kings Island need a walk around of Mighty Mouse. Edited January 1, 1970 by WildCat Quote
Dino2003 Posted January 29, 2004 Author Posted January 29, 2004 (edited) i took my Nephew to that Bob the Builder Live and i must say the Character Costums Where So Cool i was amazed how cool they looked and on the Ticket stub it said NICK JR Presents How can Paramount geta Bob live Tour Going and not have him in there Parks!...but still more Kids would like to See Bob!...Does anyone Know if Hanna-Barbera Merch is Returning for the 2004 Season? or is it all Nicktoons now? Edited January 1, 1970 by Dino2003 Quote
coasterrz Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 I woould assume that the park would still sell some HB merchandise, considering their largest of the two children`s areas is themed to Hanna Barbera. At the very least they will sell Scooby merchandise because of the Haunted Castle being built last season. Howeve, I remember hearing in a TR from No Coaster Con that there will be a Nickelodeon parade in the park this season, which is a step in the direction of more theming like the Florida and California themers. Also, it is a step away from the classic Hanna Barbera characters that have been a staple in the kiddie land of the park for the past 32 years. Quote
Beastfreak Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Seeing as how HB isn't owned by Paramount and Nickelodeon is.. it makes sense to me to no longer use HB stuff at all, obviously beside Scooby since it is new. Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Don't Worry Dino...PKI should Still Have HB merch they still have Hbland but if i were you i would Get as much HB merch as you can cuz Nick is taking over Quote
RevengeofTheSmurfs Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Yeah when i was at PKI in the Spring they had Yogi bear,Muttley,Fred Flintstone,Dino,Astro,Droopy But i mostly Seen Scooby Doo Merch so chances are you'll see HB merch When PKI opens Quote
RevengeofTheSmurfs Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Oh i almost Forgot Do anyof you Remeber Dick Dasturdly at the Park? Quote
GreenGhost2003 Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Dino- Last Season at PKI in Coney Mall if you Played any of the games you would have noticed that they Had The Flintstones Plushs i know For a Fact that Warner Bros. is Bringing out New Flintstones Merch i have Seen the Toy Line and Apparel line some of new Apparel is already out at Hot Topic Stores& Target stores as for the New Toy line some of the toys i know they have are Barbie Flintstone Dolls for girls and Flintstone Action Figures for the Boys Expect New Hanna-Barbera Everything Because WB is Releasing The Hanna-Barbera Collection that means we will see New Yogi Bear Merch,Flintstones Merch(Starting with the New Season1 DVD),QuickDraw Merch you get the Picture! Most of the Stuff wont be out until Summer 2004 and Beyond i know that the Next Hannna-Barbera Movie After Scooby Doo 2 comes out will be a Live Action Jetsons Movie so Expect to see Lots of Jetsons Movie based Merch So Dino Dont Worry if PKI wont have it go to Hot Topic or Target that should Fix ya right up I dont think Dick Dasturdly was at Kings Island!

Scooby_Doo Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 (edited) Yeah i heard something About The Jetsons Live Action Movie i heard the Script was Turned in Just before Production started on Scooby Doo 2:Monsters Unleashed I know the Jetsons Movie is Pre-production i have also heard that Britney Spears is Playin Judy,And Steve Martin is Playing George, Roise O' Donnell is giving her voice to Rosie the Robot and Danny Devito is Playing Mr.Spacely,John Lovitz is playin Cogswell ..i Havent heard no Castings for Elroy or Jane..Astro will Prob be CGI LIKE SCOOBY same with Orbity(the Jetsons Furry Alien pet) he will Prob be CGI as well...i have seen the Sell line AKA the TagLine is goes something like This : See The Jetsons as you have Never Seen Them Before LIVE: Other than that i havent Heard Much on The Jetsons Movie Nope Kings Island Never had Dick Dasturdly that may be other park your thinkin of I think The New Characters will Make the Kids happy but i wonder if Paramount will ever Ditch the Old Rugrats Characters and have The All Grown up ones in there Parks? who knows? Edited January 1, 1970 by Scooby_Doo Quote
RevengeofTheSmurfs Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 (edited) Cool a Smurfs Movie and Now a Jetsons i am pretty sure Dick Dasturdly was at Kings Island in the Late 70's to the Mid 80's Edited January 1, 1970 by RevengeofTheSmurfs Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 Well GreenGhost hit it the BullsEye WB is Releasing More The Hanna-Barbera Collection As for Bob the Builder in PKI iam sure Most young Kids would Rather see him in the Park than Lil Bill as for the Fairly Odd Parents iam sure they look Cool! Quote
DegenRider Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 I dont think Dick Dasturdly was at Kings Island! He has his own ride though in HB He never left! Quote
italianchef Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 PKI will have a parade? WOW! I suggested that to Jeff Siebert back in 2001 when I first interviewed him for my book. Though I'd like to think my idea played a role, I know it didn't. Personally, I'd like to see PKI become more and more Disney-like. Yes, PKI has a movie theme and thrill rides....so does Disney MGM Studios (and to a lesser degree the Magic Kingdom). And Disney has a family orientation as well....just like PKI. I think that PKI is moving in the right direction, except that it should return: 1. All Hanna-Barbera characters. 2. Grave Yard Shift (a show at the Paramount Theater in 2002) 3. Phantom Theater 4. James Bond: License to Thrill (at the Paramount FX Theater in 2000) Have a great weekend! Italian Chef Quote
drewbari Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Why not have Nick at Night characters but I think they schould bring back the Classic HB Characters. Quote
DA RIPPER Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 That's a good ideal having a parade. think they will have it go around the park or just stay around the entrance? Quote
italianchef Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 The parade could start in International Street, march through Hanna-Barbera Land, and end in Nickeloden Central. Quote
Beastfreak Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I think, since it is a Nick Parade, it will most likely stick around the Nickelodeon area. I don't think its meant to be long. Reasoning... longer parades the costumed people are on floats or vehicles of some kind. The parade route to I Street is too narrow for people, vehicles and the like. So must likely they would have to walk. Doing this during hot days would be killer to walk from HB/Nick to I Street. Quote
