robintodd Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Great addition Nice to see Planet Snoopy get some love! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion-XL200 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Solid addition. What I'm unsure of the entire scope...is it just that small section being called Camp Snoopy or is the entire area being rethemed? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DispatchMaster Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 So if I understand correctly, they're keeping the theater roof and converting everything underneath to Beagle Scout Acres? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klabergian Empire Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Looks like in addition to a new family coaster, there will be a children's play area as well. Overall, this seems like a nice addition and some much needed love for the back part of Planet Snoopy, Do you think this is Kings Island going for the Golden Ticket Award for best kids area again? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterteam Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 This looks so cute! Hopefully they can operate it fully jokes aside I love this coaster, kids are gonna love it! Glad to see CF working with Vekoma!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klabergian Empire Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Also call me crazy, but is Flying Ace Aerial Chase getting a color scheme change? Going from orange supports and yellow track to brown supports and green track... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 So is Flying Ace getting repainted so soon to this dark support and green track? Interesting that they already added the new ride to the rides section of the website as if it is already here LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkyFoxx Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 This gives me hope for Cedar Fair eventually giving Vekoma a chance to do a major install at some point if they are giving them a chance to do a family ride. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaFlyer Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Looks like this will be the 208m Rebound model of the family boomerang. https://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&mo=15119 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedar Fair Fanboy Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Cedar Fair is now working with Vekoma! Even though I wish for a Madhouse, I glad we got the family boomerang along side with Invertigo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Woohoo! The animation makes the area look great! Let’s not forget the new kids’ play area. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if they could incorporate RFYLCB into it and even bring a food option (like camp fire burgers and dogs) to make a more complete “mini land” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely! If vekoma does well with this coaster hopefully the park would consider building one of their next gen coasters for The Vortex plot in the near future 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedar Fair Fanboy Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 So Planet Snoopy is mostly unchanged. Camp Snoopy will be a new small area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjniehaus Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 As for Camp Snoopy, I think it was predictable and my hopes are that a smaller addition in 2024 means a bigger one in 2025 (Phantom Theater or Vortex replacement). The new coaster looks fun and I really hope they repaint flying ace to incorporate it better into the new area. Obviously if log ride can be tied in that would be ideal as well! I guess holiday World no longer gets the bragging rights to opening the only junior boomerang in US now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DispatchMaster Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Looks nice, but seems like a lost opportunity to not have included Aerial Chase and RFYL in Camp Snoopy, especially because it would serve as a natural transition to Rivertown. I mean, RFYL is a perfect fit for Camp Snoopy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I love that we are getting a (family) boomerang! Now the question is, will ours be the first to open, or will Holiday World’s? Also, where will the coaster be located in Planet Snoopy? EDIT: Also, if it’s true that “Camp Snoopy” will just be a portion of Planet Snoopy and not a retheme of the entire area, this will be like when the Green Slime Zone coexisted with Hanna-Barbara land in the mid-90’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A next-gen Vekoma looper in The Vortex plot would pay homage to the past but bring forward a better experience. Aside from my hopes and dreams of this, its just nice to see them working together. Looking forward to seeing the updated area next season! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me wonders if they could do a phantom Theater themed madhouse in Rivertown using the crypt building and giving it a new facade. It would tie in nicely with the antique photos anyway! Again I'm not sure if you could cover the amount of story/characters of Phantom in a satisfactory way with a madhouse but it's just one of those ideas you have when you're up till 3am on the eve of the Kings Island announcement day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjniehaus Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Wouldn't it be ironic if Snoopy's soapbox racer closed at 9 due to budget cuts since it'll be in the back of "Planet Snoopy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did screen shot the image and show which rides are going to be in Camp Snoopy. The only thing that will be removed from the park is the Snack Shack. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial79 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 This will be very nice! My guess is they are changing over to Camp Snoopy and Planet Snoopy is going away. I wonder how close the votes have been to Dollywood's compared to KI's kids' areas in the past, they might have a chance with this at retaking the award. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arastis Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Since KI is working with Vekoma and painting Aerial Chase, it would be nice if they purchased new modern trains for Aerial Chase w/o the OTS restaints 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastfan11 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Looks like a really solid, well themed addition. Looking forward to this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjniehaus Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I'm curious as to where the line is drawn on what rides are in Camp and what rides are in Planet. I would love to see flying ace and log flume in camp but I think they could also repaint Linus launcher and Woodstock gliders to incorporate them into camp snoopy so that everything in that back corner from Soap Box to Log flume would then be in camp snoopy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
