Looney Tunes Planet Snoopy Retheme Concept

[Losantiville Mining Co.]

Since following the complete revamp of Boo Blasters into Phantom Theater I've started to realize something. Much like how Boo Blasters on Boo Hill was a quick re-skin of Scooby-Doo and the Haunted Castle, Planet Snoopy — while far better executed — still has some obvious remnants of being re-skinned from Nickelodeon Universe. Outside of Snoopy's Space Buggies and Franklin's Flyers, there hasn't been too much done in Planet Snoopy since 2010. I'm not counting anything done with Camp Snoopy since that's now a separately-named area. Kings Island did remove those giant fins from the facade of the blue ice cream building, so I'll give them credit for that.

What could the park do to help remove some of those remnants of Nickelodeon Universe and revitalize the area as a whole? I think new concrete and paint would do a lot. Some added theming around the area and new shells for the Woodstock's Whirlybirds vehicles could also be nice. The entrance sign near the International Showplace needs to ditch the Blue's Clues paw prints (yes they could be Snoopy's, but this is my opinion). 

They don't need to redo the entire area again in an attempt to catch up with Wildwood Grove, but I think a general refresh is more than needed. Some specifics: new entrance signage; new paint and a new name for Woodstock Express; new concrete throughout the land; new vehicles/wraps for Woodstock's Whirlybirds; major Surf Dog refresh (Cedar Point's looks so much better); and a new ride.

 

Side note for anyone wondering: Planet Snoopy is about 5.48 acres in size, Camp Snoopy is roughly 3.79 acres, (9.27 acres for both). Camp Snoopy at Carowinds is about 6.11 acres (the other 3 acres got absorbed into their Thunder Road area in 2024). Wildwood Grove is 11.55 acres (9.02 without the NightFlight Expedition land). Cedar Point's Kiddie Kingdom is 1.24 acres; Planet Snoopy is 1.28 acres; and Camp Snoopy is 2.85 acres. Forbidden Frontier at Cedar Point was 3.93 acres. If, for some reason, Kings Island wanted to add yet another mini-land to triple down on the "family park" demographic, they could easily get 2 acres out of the Stunt Coaster plot and fit a lot of stuff in there with the right planning. I'd rather that than have the park attempt to squeeze too much more into Planet/Camp Snoopy or take over another area of the park for kids as I've seen some folks suggest.
