KIghostguy Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Woodstock's Air Rail is a really cute name! Really hoping that the attention on the flume marks the return of the vintage logos on the front of the logs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, that whole back area needed a refresh and this is exactly what it needed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Unforgivable! They had now TWO opportunities to call the Flyers the “Flying Beagles” as a nod to Flying Eagles. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most unimaginative names that could have been picked...might as well stuck with "log ride." At least Race For Your Life Charlie Brown could have still fit the theme of "Camp Snoopy." 2 hours ago, KIghostguy said: Woodstock's Air Rail is a really cute name!

I'm glad Franklin now has his own ride! But, Flying Beagles could have been a great name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr0y Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 With some of the ride name changes over the years you can always tell what generation of KI's kids' area you grew up in. I will always remember Race for your life Charlie Brown as: Wild Thornberry's River Adventure Flying Ace Ariel Chase as: Runaway Reptar 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonHelbig Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I really like the new names; they all seem to fit in well with the new Camp Snoopy area and theme. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I wonder if they changed RFYLCB due to people not knowing about the 1970s film and making negative assumptions. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjniehaus Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Not a huge fan of the name changes with the exception of Franklin Flyers (that one was good) We will now have Woodstock Express and Woodstock Air Rail (two Woodstock coasters...hmmm ok) and there was nothing wrong with the log flume name in relation to the area in my opinion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that might be it. It’s also not super descriptive of what the ride is in that it sounds more like something you are running on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great. However, we're talking about the same company (Cedar Fair) that renamed Jr. Gemini to Wilderness Run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoan Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 When I first saw the headline I panicked thinking Six Flags was already taking over names. Glad to hear they at least stuck with Peanuts themed, and just made it more "camp" styled. I wouldn't be opposed to redoing the entire section into a foresty/campground theme for kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Well^ I’m not trying to be conspiracy theorist here but…. With this announcement, the kids area is going to be nearly perfectly split into 2 halves. I know the Camp Snoopy theme ties into the Apple TV show and we also see this with Knott’s, but here’s my question: Why not go all the way with it? It could simply be a budget thing to just update the back part of the kids area but for some reason this reminds of of what Paramount did in the 90s…but in reverse. In the 90s the back part of Hanna Barbera Land became Nickelodeon with both sections coexisting up until the Nickelodeon Universe rebrand. With the upcoming merger of FUN and SIX, could the park be leaving the front part of the kids area open for a rebrand? Could we see “Bugs Bunny Boomtown” or “DC Superfriends” take over the “old” Planet Snoopy? Could we see Woodstock Express and Boo Blasters return to Scooby Doo IP? If they overhauled the whole kids section I wouldn’t even bring this up, but the fact that they split the kids area into two halves leaves the possibility open for the the “older” section to be considered for a rebrand that doesn’t involve Peanuts LLC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIDelirium Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I'm fine with Linus Launcher not being renamed... But PLEASE PAINT IT SOMETHING NOT PURPLE. Even if it's just leftover paint from the Flying Ace job, make it fit in and not look absurd. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer will probably be no. Six Flags will keep their I.P. in their park, and Cedar Fair will keep their as well. Also with Warner Brothers Discover crumbling down and probably go bankrupt. Six Flags have to choose to keep their I.P. or move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re keeping the name I hope they at least put some work into painting it and maybe adding a bandana and a beagle scout hat to snoopy so it fits the theme more of the surrounding area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Knotts Berry Farm has the same Linus Launcher ride in their Camp Snoopy, but theirs is painted green and blue. If I were to take a guess, that is what our Linus Launcher will become: https://www.knotts.com/rides-experiences/linus-launcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
