BoddaH1994 Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 I still hope the park gets bought by Universal "Universal's Kings Island" I dont know you be the judge. Then it'd be more like Universal's Island of Adventure Ohio, or something like that. Either that, or Universal Studios Cincinnati. .....I know, I don't make any sense either. If they add a title to it like "Universal's Kings Island" or "Proctor and Gamble's Kings Island" or whatever, it won't be so bad. I just want to retain the name "Kings Island". Quote
Outdoor Man Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 i doubt the name "studios" will be attached to the park unless someone intends to add an expensive backlot and soundstage to the grounds. Quote
RailRider Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 removing the "Kings Island" from the name would be the worst move whoever owns it could make. Talk about destroying a lot of market credibility and distinction. That would be like removing the "Cedar Point." Im sure that wont happen. Quote

Outdoor Man Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 yea, but if they change the name people will still come. Besides Kings Island is an old name that was popular in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. They should go with something that reaches out to the population of today.... something Nick related.... I'm thinking along the lines of the Fairly Odd Amusement Park. Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Fairly Odd Amusement Park? Modern? The Fairly Odd part, I see. Amusement Park? First of all, the owners will doubtless rather be known as a theme park...to many people amusement park means thrilling rides but also dirty and small and old fashioned...Plus I am quite certain the new owners, not unlike Six Flags, are very apt to continue down the path of family entertainment, not just thrills. I have a theory about that. The Boomer Generation is now getting into their senior years. Look for more shows, benches, rides that granny can ride with her grandkids, and better food in all the parks. The simple fact is that the parks need more business, and appealing only to the thrill seeker has in some ways been excluding some of the older audience, who feels less welcome when the parks are crammed full of teenagers seeking thrills. Teenagers who, by the way, seldom spend much money once in the park, compared to families and older people. This is especially true when said teenagers have season passes and their parents use the parks as a babysitter. I have no idea what the park may be named (my bet is still on either Paramount's Kings Island or Kings Island), but I can about bet what direction the attractions will continue to take in the coming few years. Think of the same types of rides Paramount has put in the last couple of years as opposed to Son of Beast, Hypersonic or Top Gun at Carowinds. Quote
vortexdemon05 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 Pepsi World Park and we'd replace the NASTY Coke products!!! Quote
WooferBearATL Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Pepsi World Park and we'd replace the NASTY Coke products!!! Them are fighting words! There is no carbonated beverage other than Coke. Quote
vortexdemon05 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 LOL i was Kidding some of the Coke products are good including Pepsi Quote
DA RIPPER Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Coca-Cola land, Ben & Jerry's Ice CreamaniaLand, WaveLoch Island (for all the flowriders) You poor twisted soul, welcome to Borg Island, You will be asemulated, implants to the left. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Well, Coke products will be in the park for the next seven years. They recently signed a contract for that amount of time. Quote
DA RIPPER Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Thank you Joey Trauth regional sales manager for Coke. I hate Pepsi, taste like a Coke that went flat. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Its really surprising how many parks serve Coke products. All Six Flags parks, Paramount Parks, Disney World, and Universal Florida parks. The only chains that I know which serve Pepsi are Holiday World (obviously), Cedar Fair, and Coney Island. I think that the Busch Parks also serve Pepsi. But I`ve never been there so I don`t know which they serve. Quote

You'd think they would serve Pepsi with the Pepsi headquarters in Florida. Quote
jzarley Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 PepsiCo's HQ isn't in Florida--it is in New York...about an hour outside of NYC. Quote
HomerJay Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Um, hello...hasn't anyone noticed that the renaming has already begun? It was an inside job. First you get a station in the park and, like a virus, grow from there into: Starbucks Espresso Island Quote
Vortexlover2 Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Nick Universe Island then the could have the Nick Mall, Neckelodionfest, Nick Action Zone, Nickertown, Nick Galaxy, and International Nick! That would be kind of crazy... ~vl2 Quote

TheKlockster Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 I think they already have. I also think that once banned - you should stay banned. Quote
