Hi everbody,

I was wondering if anybody knows when Blue's Skidoo will be done? My little cousin is a huge Blue's Clue fan. We are planning a trip with him. Also is the SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom Bash finished? I was at PKI last Friday, it didnt' look done. No Pineapple house or anything.

I haven`t heard anything on when Blue`s Skidoo, Spongebob`s Bikin Bottom Bash or La Aventura de Azul will be opening. Yes, Bikini Bottom wasn`t quite finished this past weekend. That one may not open until closer to full season (when daily operation begins in mid May).

Both Blue's Skidoo and the Azul ride are finished and opened up today. Both rides look amaizing!!! The new fiberglass cars are so cute!!!

As for Spongebob's Bikini Bottom area.....they are still doing work on it, the pinapple was installed yesterday and the whole area is starting to look better. Keep in mind that this area usually did not open with the park in April the last few years, so even though it's not completely finished it isnt necessarily a different thing that its not open.

Yes, I reported in other threads that the two rides opened. Hopfully, they will be getting more horses for the Nick Go Round to improve capacity. It looks rather pathetic with just a single row of horses on the outside. The pineapple was installed yesterday? I didn`t even notice it today then, but I wasn`t exactly looking for it either.

I was there Sunday, and saw Blue and Dora's rides. More statues and theming were added. Squidward, Patrick, and Sandy were added to the Spongebob area.

Yea they really screwed up that Carsoul I hope they fix it because it looks bare.

Especially since they only have one row of horses. Talk about a capacity killer. Although from the looks of it, they will (hopefully) be getting horses for the inner row.

I still havent been over to Nick Universe, from all of the good things that people are saying about it it sounds like a good place to go with like little cousins or little bros or sisters. Can't wait to check it out.

Whats the two new rides that just opened?

and what do they do?

also the carousel worst thing they've ever completed at Kings Island!!!!

so much better as when it was hanna barbera:

rest of NU very impressive

As a reminder, pics of Dora's Train and Blue's Skidoo as well as the Pineapple can be found right here.

yeah so far its a great area. i havent been back to dora's area "explorer corner" i think the sign says... but i saw one of the trains on the really long named ride (Azul), and it looked really good. and blue looks good too!

i just hope they're not finished with theming the LazyTown SportaCopters. i mean 3 little cut-outs....nothing compared to the major theming most of the other rides have....it has to be the least themed ride in the area! they need to put more detail into the cutout of Sportacus's airship (the blue and white blimp shaped thing directly above blue's skidoo) cuz it looks almost nothing like the one in the show. and my friend and her family rode it and told me it still says stuff about pulling into HB Airport and "thanks for riding Yogi's Sky Tours"... i thought they would have handled that by now at least. oh well. I'm going to go and ride the new stuff saturday and/or sunday so maybe ill see if it's changed by then
