TOPGUN1993 Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 What group do you think will remain at PKI ? Quote
Captain Nemo Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Since almost everyone here at PKIC is used to the Nick theme almost everyone will vote Nick. Quote
Snake Attack! Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 it is not a question of who should stay, it is of who will stay, to those i answer nick. Quote
vortexdemon05 Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 If my memory serves me correctly the peanuts were once a Nick show right? Quote
TheKlockster Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 No... I would rather see Peanuts! On Cedar Point opening day - Linus was greeting guests waiting for the ropes to drop! Linus totally owns Spongebob! Quote
MayfieldFourFan Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 If my memory serves me correctly the peanuts were once a Nick show right? They were? Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 If my memory serves me correctly the peanuts were once a Nick show right? They were? No, they weren't. . . As has already been stated once in this thread. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 And it should be added that at this point in time, Cedar Fair does not plan on introducing any of the Peanuts chracters at Kings Island. Quote
Guest TombraiderTy Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 I think that we will see Peanut characters walking around the park soon. No rides, but characters Quote
LilNik41 Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 If my memory serves me correctly the peanuts were once a Nick show right? They were? No, they weren't. . . As has already been stated once in this thread. the peanuts was a nick show a long time ago but then it stopped for some reason... but anyways they're better not be peanuts characters walking around Kings Island or ill kil 'em Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Write it down. Peanuts is a United Feature Syndicate property. It was never owned by Nickelodean, which was and is a VIACOM property. Charles Schulz would not have wanted it any other way. Nick did rerun some of the Peanuts specials, but running a program and owning it are two entirely different things. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 And it should be added that at this point in time, Cedar Fair does not plan on introducing any of the Peanuts chracters at Kings Island. I wouldn't speak so confidently about that. On the conference call, they weren't sure if PKI was going to see Snoopy. Quote
Stitch Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Didn't they say the Nick license was four years, after that I see Snoopy & company coming n Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 It needn't necessarily be one OR the other. Exclusive licenses can become nonexclusive when a bit of cash exchanges hands. Or the Nick license may not even be exclusive, for that matter. Quote
RollerNut Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 It was also said that the Nicktoons could invade Cedar Point, Worlds of Fun, Dorney, and the others. I think we will see Cedar Fair assimilate the best parts of Paramount Parks and Cedar Fair together. I am more worried about Scooby than Nicktoons or Peanuts. Quote
cewldre Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 To me, it would seem more likely that the more modern of characters will get the roaming privliges, but we could very well see snoopy hanging around too. I know the Nick license is for four years, but I am willing to bet that it would be a wise business decision for them to extend the contract once the time comes. Quote
SharkGuy Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 PEANUTS! I rather see Snoopy than Spongebob I say after 4 years well see Scooby Doo and Peanuts. And that makes me so friggin happy! RollerNut why you worried about Scooby Doo? He's doing fine with a New Cartoon titled Scooby Doo & Shaggy Too! starting this fall and with Scooby Doo 3:Scooby Doo's Puppy Years set to be released Fall 2007... Scooby is doin fine. I rather see Scooby and Snoopy than see Nick... Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 I NEVER thought I'd say this. That's one bumper sticker I'd proudly put on my car. Honest. Great job, Klockster! Quote
italianchef Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 I voted for Nickeloden because it's more popular and I watch some of its cartoons, such as Jimmy Neutron. I used to watch The Wild Thornberrys, Hey Arnold, and The Rugrats, too - but they no longer seem to be on. However, the Nickelodeon licnse expires in 4 years. If you were the corporate executives of Cedar Fair, would you pay big money to Viacom for Nickelodeon licensing fees or use the Peanuts gang for free? It's just like with H-B being tossed out for NU. The company will do whatever makes the most financial sense. Have a great day! Italian Chef Quote
TheKlockster Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 I thought it was good too - till I saw CoastersNSich's. His is outstanding! Quote

Gordon Bombay Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 ^Peanuts was never a NICK show, it was not onwed by Viacom as the Interpreter said, it just ran on Nick for a sh ort time and they stopped airing regular episodes and specials long before Charles Schultz, God rest his soul, passed away. Quote
