Return_of_Yogi Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Has anyone heard anything on whether or not there would be any NEW shows with the addition of NU? or which old one's are returning? Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 We know for a fact that School of Rock will be rockin' the 2006 season. Also, we'll see the return of the Nickelodeon Celebration Parade which will return in the early season. Other than that, it's hard to say! Quote
RingMaster Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I know it would be a hard thing to do, but I would personally like to see the return of those family game shows they used to do a few years back in the Nick Theater. I know for a fact that Carowinds is now going back to doing Slime Time Live when they opened up Nick Central last season. I think it's a waste of space for a theater that large and the only thing it's used for is the meet & greets, which don't even use up the whole theater. Quote
RailRider Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Would be very cool for the live game shows to return. Probably not that lucky though. Just dont have the best feeling about this seasson, because it will be a summer of transition. Quote
harvesterofyoursorrow Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 PKI says its looking for a lead guitarist...That other one left I'm asuming... He was good... Quote
teenageninja Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I was on Slime Time Live one time, my team won, purely because I knew so much about Nickelodeon. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 PKI says its looking for a lead guitarist...That other one left I'm asuming... He was good... They always have rehersals. I doubt you're guarenteed a spot every year. Last year, several members of the SoR cast were actually from a band who tried out as a unit. Quote
Return_of_Yogi Posted March 2, 2006 Author Posted March 2, 2006 So I wonder, what will happen witht he selling of the parks, entertainment wise. Cedar Point/Cedar Fair, has never had shows that I thought were that enjoyable, I feel that Universal has the more prominent Entertainment value, with their character "parades" and great on the spot shows ala disney.

CoastersRZ Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Well, the Nickelodeon Celebration Parade that has been to all the Paramount Parks, except Canada`s Wonderland (until this year) seems to be very well recieved by park guests. My guess is that this will continue to be improved and added upon this year and in coming years. Quote
RingMaster Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 You know, one thing they could do to add to the parade (although, IMO, it would be very hard to pull off) would be to add the live band from the School of Rock show to the Celebration Parade. Maybe they would play out the theme song (anyone know the name of the Celebration Parade theme song?) live, along with a few other songs, so they wouldn't be playing the entire parade long. ...but that's just my opinion.

RailRider Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I would love to a live show like the new stunt show up north or even a Survivor themed game show. They need more shows than what is currently offered, thats for sure. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Looking at the Live Entertainment section on PKI.com, it only has School of Rock and Star Search listed... I guess that means the rumors are true and the International Showplace and Rivertown venue will sit vacant this year... what a shame. Quote

WOW At one time the International Showplace had a minimum of 3 shows running at any one time and a maximum of 5. There's nothing like sitting in the bleachers on a crisp cool night (about 9pm) as the sun is setting and watching a show. Ahhhhh, those were the days. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 What happened to the bleachers in the nick show place thing ? Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 The venue was renovated several years ago when they removed the Nick show. Now it just houses the character meet and greet. Quote
PKIFlyer Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I think it will be a real shame if PKI only has School of Rock and Star Search Live. I believe many people will be disappointed if this is true. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 There probaly will be a type of Fear Fest show like always. Quote

I really did enjoy Tuned In! last year, but I'm really glad the SoR is returning. Having that show was one of the biggest highlights of the 05 season. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 As I posted earlier this year (and was roundly made fun of), a sale is in progress. Cuts in all kinds of things (including hours and shows) are being made to dress up the parks' balance sheets. As for a Fear Fest show, "like always," be aware that right now, nothing is "like always." There may be, there may not be. NO ONE KNOWS. Including current management of the park. Some things will be up to the new owner, if there even is one (which there probably will be). To sum up, these are NOT normal times for Paramount's (insert name of theme park here). And after the sale, if there is one, what happens next is simply not known. This is a tough time for the people who run Paramount Parks. This is a tough year. People are concerned about their careers and their families. Please try to understand that as much fun as you may have at Kings Island, this is a business...and a business that is for sale. Tradition may be important to you, but to the owners, it is only important to the extent that it delivers shareholder value. Quote
