BoddaH1994 Posted January 30, 2006 Share 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".

Outdoor Man Posted January 30, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted January 30, 2006 Share 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.

Outdoor Man Posted February 2, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 2, 2006 Share 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.

CoastersRZ Posted February 15, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been to Busch Garden in Tampa and It's just like PKI, just less room between rides and buildings. You'd think they would serve Pepsi with the Pepsi headquarters in Florida.

HomerJay Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Um, hello...hasn't anyone noticed that the renaming has already begun? It was an inside job.

Vortexlover2 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Nick Universe Island then the could have the Nick Mall, Neckelodionfest, Nick Action Zone, Nickertown, Nick Galaxy, and International Nick!
