The 2006 PKI season will debut an expanded version of one of your favorite places in the park! Read an upcoming newsletter issue to find out what will be new in 2006!

- taken from PKI newsletter #11.

Hmm it does sound like Nick Central will be getting expanded. What do you guys think this hint means?

When did that newsletter come?

...and about that hint, I'm just excited it means we're closer to an official announcement!

It's the bi-weekly e-mail newsletter. Mine came sometime this afternoon.

My luck, Gmail probably sent it to the SPAM folder. It never usually does with the PKI emails I get, but it probably did this time around.

We dont need anymore hints cause we all ready basicly know what it is going to be.

I just got mine like 30 min ago.

I got mine, and looked for a post like this and couldn't find it, so I posted my own. Oh well, we just can't do without two posts of everything now can we

It happens far more often than you think with a community of this size.

Just got mine. Guess it didn't get marked as spam after all.

I guess mail just takes longer to get from Mason to Indianapolis electronically too.

so, if that means that HBL is saying bye-bye... what becomes of SDATHC, and other remaining HBL themed rides?

Well no worries about SDATHC, as the license is not owned by the park, it's owned by Sally. So SDATHC will stay. As far as other HB themed rides, they will more then likey get a makeover and themed or names changed to Nick cartoons, or shows.

I just got mine today and it doesn't mention that anywhere on it, what's going on here? Oh well, like we needed a hint of what's to come Most of us knew what was coming before the Italian Job was finished.

The hint in question is located in the right side of the newletter. Where the triva question part is.

My opinion--and I know this isn't popular: if they're doing away with HBL in favor of NC, just demolish SDATHC. It's not that cool of a ride. Build, from scratch, a new dark ride themed to Lemony Snicket. No cheap cardboard cutouts or anything of the like. You could do a fun Lemony Snicket dark ride!

Get rid of the entire building and start over or keep the same building and just re-theme it? Didn't that building start out as a boat ride with A Small World theme?

LOL Homerjay..SD:ATHC is far too popualr to be ripped out people love the ride more so than PT sorry man.. scooby is here to stay ..until 2013!

Why would PKI take out Scooby Doo's Castle there isnt a good enough reason to

Scooby is popular with kids and adults and The ride is still new its only 2 years old.

Better suggestion would be to rehab it to make it look better and give Scooby-Doo a "real" feel to it. The cheap, cardboard cutouts won't have to go-they'll just blend in with more fluidly-animated robots/animatronics, a'la Buzz Lightyear. That's a great example.

I would love to see the SpongeBob coaster and Carwash put in next year; it would give the average family a better choice of ride experiences than just the three that we have already (SDATHC, Runaway Reptar, Wild Thornberrys).

Well, I do agree that they wouldn't take SDATHC out. I'd like to see it go, but I know it won't. . . but if the kids like it, that's what's important. . .

I agree I'd like to see it rethemed with some good effects. Right now it just feels like a slight step up from those little haunted houses you go in at carnivals. I wasn't the biggest PT fan, but at least they went all out with the theming in there. . . especially in the opera scene.

Wouldn't it be ironic if in a few years after Paramount finishes their smurf trilogy if the Smurfs were so popular that they decided to RETHEME that building BACK to Smurfs? The Smurfs enchanted voyage was the first KI ride I ever loved!

I know back when the smurf ride was in concept stages(1982) they wanted it to be themed to gargamels manison but the idea was scrapped to due budgeting issues and yet in 2014 you might see SDATHC get re-themed to Gargamels castle...hmmmm......

Speaking of 2006, has anyone heard anything about an announcement? I honestly haven't heard any info.

I haven't heard a thing either. Hopefully, it will be coming soon.

I heard it would be in two weeks.
