CoastersRZ Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 No announcement as of yet. I wouldn`t be surprised if we hear an announcement before the end of the month and before FearFest begins on the 1st of October. But I don`t have any insider information, so I really have no clue when to expect an announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 tralala la-lalala, tralala la-lalala... Smurfy! Skippy Smurfy! Man I HOPE those rumors are true! I was actually doing the Banana Splits theme song, which is hard to imagine if you don't hear it. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarkerCounty182 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I, being the newest member of the South Pie crew know that South Pie is going to be there till the end of the season for sure. I'm sure I would of been notified otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Just curious, but why did you switch off of The Beast crew back to HBL? I for one did not think that any rides would close down before the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I've read that HBL will remain the same up until after the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Yes, that is what I have heard also. That doesn`t allow much time for construction though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 ^ That is true! but I have read that HBL will be totally redone aswell...I dunno whats going on and Iam confused as ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 From what I have heard, one of the attraction that will be built could be fairly large in size, which makes me wonder why they are going to wait until January to start major construction. Also, don`t forget that there was is the possibility of a new ride in Coney Mall as well. It would be similar to what they did in 2003 with Delirium and Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle.

Scooby_Doo Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Fairly large..like a Fairly OddCoaster?....I hope it's Spongebob's Boating School! Start construction in Jan? why would they do that if a big ride is coming you'd think they would be working on it now.I guess it's prob because of Nick or Treat and WinterFest.

CoastersRZ Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well I don`t have any insider information. But I have heard that next year kids will be ready to soak up the new fun in Nickelodeon Central with a new ride that will surely be a hit.

Scooby_Doo Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I hope so! Spongebob has a huge following kids and adults love the show so it would be wise for PKI to install something themed to him and his underwater world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well the SpongeBob 3D ride genereated a lot of positive feedback among guests after 2003, so another SpongeBob ride would probably be built considering SpongeBob 3D might not be coming back next year. Yeah, I heard that a new simulator movie is coming to FX Theater next year, so, if anything, Crash Course Boating School could probably be built in SpongeBob 3D's place. It wouldn't make much sense to not have a SpongeBob ride next year because it is the #1 show on Nickelodeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well, if we were getting the Sponge Bob coaster, don't you think it would be built like Tomb Raider and Flight of Fear was (with the building being built first)? This way all construction is out of the way during Winterfest and they can work strait through the winter without worrying about the weather! But then again, Flight of Fear was only built like that by accident I don't know, maybe I'm just looking too far into this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I don`t think building Flight of Fear with the building first was an accident. That way, one the building was built, they could build the coaster on the inside and did not have to worry about weather holding things up. The one at Kings Dominion was built in the reverse order, coaster first, then building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braves0511 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I think it's better to build the building first because then people like us who pick at every little detail don't really know what's coming. You just have to ride it and be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekzapoppin Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 By the way, about Tom and Jerry, they were created by Bill Hanna and Joseph Barbera so it's possible they own the characters. I know that they've been animated by a number of studios over the course of their "careers". I'll miss HBL but for purely selfish reasons. It's one of the few places that is still there from when I came to the park as a child. It makes perfect sense to change it as the HB characters don't have the same multigenerational recognition as the Disney characters do. I'll still miss it when it's gone. It's not like there is much of it left that is the same as when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Is there any chance that the Nickelodeon Celebration Parade will start at PKI next year? Because I thought that it started in Carowinds this year to celebrate the new Nick Central expansion. Just a thought... I guess we can all just assume that at least one water-themed ride will be built next year (Crash Course Boating School v. Nick CarWash). I also think that we could get the Space Surfer next year, because there really isn't that much space to put two massive rides in HBL/Nick Central (at least not that I know of). Me personally? Either a combination of Crash Course Boating School and Nick CarWash, or Crash Course Boating School and Space Surfer. Why? SBSP 3D isn't coming back next year (still not sure of what will take its place), so another SpongeBob ride is the most logical idea. Plus, Space Surfer could be a good replacement for Flying Eagles leaving us for Carowinds (I still miss that ride ). But that's jut my idea. Okay, I'll shut up now....

CoastersRZ Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I think the Nick Parade will still be at PKI in July and August. Why? Because that is the heart of the season, and PKI is the flagship park. Not to mention that is when the parade has occured at PKI the past two seasons.

King Bowser Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 This may be off topic but I have heard that Action F/X will have a Titantic type movie next year. I bet we get Mrs.Puff's Crash Course and a Fairly odd coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPKI Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Since were on the guessing topic. My guess is a Nick Space Surfer and SBSP: Crash Course Boating School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 This may be off topic but I have heard that Action F/X will have a Titantic type movie next year. I bet we get Mrs.Puff's Crash Course and a Fairly odd coaster. There'd better be SOMETHING new in Action F/X next year...I'd be thrilled to see anything other than a Spongebob sign above the F/X entrance. ...and I hate hearing that song when getting off of Vortex. I feel sorry for the folks in Vortex photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 At least two of these rides will be built: SpongeBob SquarePants: Crash Course Boating School Nick CarWash Fairly OddCoaster Nick Space Surfer Since South Pie will be gone after this year (not sure about Ghoster Coaster, though), at least one of the three big rides will be built: SpongeBob SquarePants: Crash Course Boating School Nick CarWash Fairly OddCoaster Rumors are spreading that Nick Theater and the Water Maze could go. If that is true, then one of the two water-themed rides will be built (to make up for the water maze loss): SpongeBob SquarePants: Crash Course Boating School Nick CarWash If only Nick Theater goes, then either of these two rides will be placed in its position: Nick CarWash Nick Space Surfer If SpongeBob 3D does not make a return next year, chances are that SpongeBob SquarePants: Crash Course Boating School will be one of the two rides built. With the sudden removal of the Flying Eagles/re-theme to Phantom Flyers for Carowinds, chances are that Nick Space Surfer will be one of the two rides built. Since SpongeBob is the #1 show on Nickelodeon, with Fairly OddParents pulling a close 2nd, chances are that SpongeBob SquarePants: Crash Course Boating School & Fairly OddCoaster will be built. Since a water-based theme is more prevalent in Nick Central as of now, chances are that SpongeBob SquarePants: Crash Course Boating School & Nick CarWash will be built. RingMaster's Guesses for 2006's Nick Central Expansion: SpongeBob SquarePants: Crash Course Boating School Nick CarWash These two ride ideas from the concept survey of last year sounded the most intriging to me. The ongoing rumor of the Antique Cars being modified for the CarWash also got me to chose it for one of the rides. Also, for me, the Space Surfer could just get re-painted and re-themed as a new flat for Coney Mall in the upcoming years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 But don`t forget that there MIGHT also be a new ride to line Coney Mall next season, in addition to the Nick Central additions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Ok, that is just what I had heard that there might be something in Coney Mall. I`m just sad that the new additions to Nick Central could come at a loss to some of the classic children`s rides like The Whip, and the handcars!

CoastersRZ Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 That is probably what the rumor I heard was refering to. I imagine that the park is going to spend quite a lot of money on the new Nick Central. Hopefully, the new ride(s) will be a huge success and be popular among families. I just hope that there aren`t too many casualties among existing rides, for capacity sake. (Granted most of the rides in south pie are not high capacity rides to begin with).

Skippy Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I've heard lots of rumors, most which I'm not willing to discuss, but one to back up your's CoastersRZ about us receiving a new Coney Mall attraction (I'm not talking about the new Action FX movie) in addition to the Nick Central expansion attractions! I won't discuss it because rumors could only set people up for dissapointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
