familyman Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I agree that people need to stop complaining. NU is for kids and families. Most on here are too old for these types of attractions. My kids are so happy they are changing things around and adding new rides. You will never make everyone happy no matter what they build.

Your right and sorta wrong at the same time let me just say there will be an ''attraction'' that will be for the whole family and for those teens,and adults...

Vortex Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) ^Oh stop it people, you can complain all you want BUT IT WONT STOP ANYTHING. Bring on the Nick Universe! I am not complaining just think some poeple are reading to much in to what has been said about Nick Universe. I have saw the video of CDBB two years ago and it looks nothing like the real thing.

WooferBearATL Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Saw a new Midas commercial this morning. They seem to be using the Flintstones as spokespeople. Ohhhhhh, this dropping of HB is going to end up biting Paramount in the Butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bowser Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Yeah I seen that one I've also the Jetsons dishwasher one and the shampoo one with all the HB female characters like Velma,Wilma Flintstone,Judy Jetson etc. and some people say HB isnt popular...and I still take Flintstone vitamins! PKI just got OWN3D! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 They use the HB characters in those commercials because the commercial is intended for adults. Most adults know and grew up with the characters. Are children going to watch that commercial and know who those characters are? It is very rare I see the Jetsons on TV, Or Yogi. ~My Millenium post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bowser Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Err Not really Nemo you are forgetting about Flintstone vitamins which my son takes he adores fred flintstone and pebbles cereal those products are aimed toward kids and yeah kids to see the commercials.but back to the topic...

WooferBearATL Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Yup, and my Niece and Nephew both know and love the characters. They're both under 9 years old and don't have Boomerang to watch the cartoons on. I stand by the fact that time will show that this is an ill informed decision made by Paramount.

Yes, they take the vitamins but I also used to eat those E.L. Fudge cookies with the shapes of the little elves. I loved those cookies but could care less about the character that my cookie is shaped after. I think you'll find this with the average kid, the Flinstones are now more associated with cereal and vitamins than the actual cartoon, so the kids like the product but don't really care about the characters. The reason your kids probably love them is because you seem to be obsessed with cartoons and have probably showed your kids these cartoons. With the majority of kids, I doubt they've ever seen more than one or two of the HB carttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby_Doo Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I for one love Hanna-Barbera and I dont understand why most of you think kids havent a clue who The Flintstones are I have always found it funny because were ever you look you'll see parents that grew up with them and will tell there kids about them I know some parents that bought the Flintstones DVD set / Boomerang so they could watch the Flintstones with there kids plus just look around you The Flintstones are huge in marketing same with Scooby Doo.

CoastersRZ Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Yes, The Flinestone`s are still known by kids today. Don`t forget that they had the live action Flinestone`s movie made in the mid 1990`s with John Goodman, Rick Moranis and Rosie O`Donnel (I don`t remember who played Wilma.) However, Nickelodeon shows are the in shows, as opposed to the older HB shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Elizabeth Perkins played the role of Wilma Flintstone in 1994 live-action film here some tid-bits about that movie.. A live action version of "The Flintstones" (1960) had been in development for a number of years. Reportedly, this version would not have been made if John Goodman had turned down the role of Fred. Although she is not a real match for Betty Rubble, 'Rosie O'Donnell' nailed her audition for the role by perfecting the Betty Rubble laugh. Over a dozen writers worked on the script and at one point, the part of Fred Flintstone was offered to James Belushi. The most recent movie was The Flintstones Viva rock vagas that was released in Spring 2000 It did pretty well at the B.O. but not well enough like the first one.. Just so you know The producers opted for the prequel to the Flintstones in this second film mainly due to 'John Goodman' 's refusal to reprise his role as Fred Flintstone but they knew that they wanted The Great Gazoo in the 2nd film ever since day one of the first films production.

thejoker8388 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I remember that movie. I enjoyed it although I now forget what it was about. They also made a second movie called Rock Vegas or something like that and I remember thinking that movie was horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you'll be dissapointed. Think Seuss Landing at IOA. The entire area will be segmented too... one corner is Dora, another is Jimmy Nuetron, another Spongebob... etc. etc. etc. The entire area is being gutted. Even existing light poles and benches are being replaced. It's a total overhaul that will no doubt be fun and beautiful, but also very family friendly as well. "Uh I just noticed Avatar is no longer listed on RCDB.com....I wonder why?! " Hmmmm... maybe RCDB folks are no longer considering it a coaster... after all, it is up for debate....

Legend Rider Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Uh I just noticed Avatar is no longer listed on RCDB.com....I wonder why?! Maybe due to the fact that it is not a coaster? Its a modified Disk'O - Rockin' Tug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bowser Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Really a DiskO?..who told you this? Besides that sounds more like rocket power than avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Rider Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Really a DiskO?..who told you this? Besides that sounds more like rocket power than avatar. What does it matter, wouldn't you suppose that would be the most logical reasoning for it being removed from RCDB? plus I hear it is going to be similar, however not the same as, the ride being installed/already installed at PGA, they are all similar to one another, however can be unique of one another with the addition of humps and turns... like a spinning coaster...

TheKlockster Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 The Disk'O is a rumor... It has not been confirmed. RCDB does not have any information on this - they just removed it until it is announced for sure whether or not it is a coaster. Keep in mind that although Disk'O is considered a flat ride - the Intamin Half Pipe coaster - pretty much the same thing - is listed under coasters. Besides, I think a Disk'O is a little big for kids. It would most likely be something that would have a 44 inch height requirement - maybe smaller. Then again I could be wrong - I am just pointing out that none of us know what Avatar is - including Legend Rider. So why doesn't everyone just wait and find out.

TheKlockster Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Indeed - that is what I say. I don't know what Avatar is - and I don't loose sleep over it. What does bother me is when people say things like they think they know what is going on when in reality they dont have a clue. That is how rumors get started - like the rumor about it being a Disk'O which is undoubtedly why it was de-listed from RCDB. It could be a Disk'O - I am not going to pretend I know... Those who know don't talk, and those who talk - don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
