italianchef Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I'm noticed on www.pki.com tonight that Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay is now called, "Boomerang Bay". Was the "Crocodile Dundee" portion of the name dropped? Have a great day! Italian Chef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Yep. The map also shows it as being Boomerang Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 I wonder if all of the Crocodile Dundee movie posters will be removed by the time BB opens this upcoming season. What do y'all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I also hope they remove the posters from the side of the Paramount theatre. They have been there for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 They took one down and put up a Itailan Job poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I also hope they remove the posters from the side of the Paramount theatre. They have been there for years. ...and they show it! So aged looking from being in the sun all year long, year after year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I do not know how long they have been up there but I do know they were there during "Entertainment Tonight" show in the PT. That was 97. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Yep. The map also shows it as being Boomerang Bay. Map? What map? The 2007 map hasn't been released yet, at least not on pki.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Yeah, I was a little confused with that remark as well. At least the map that I see on pki.com is the 2006 map with "Crocodile Dundee`s Boomerang Bay." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The 2007 map does not have Crocodile Dundee in it, just Boomerang Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 That's what I figured, but the way he was talking, the 2007 park map as already released somewhere on the web, that's what we were saying or confused about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Uhoh did someone leak a booboo?..hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 No leaks, it's just hard to get a park map when they're not open yet. It is clear that the transition from PKI to just KI is going to have several speed bumps along the way, which is why it is going to be a slow transition to say the least. No doubt that certain things will not retain the movie names, especially if it's not a major attraction and/or Nickelodeon branded. Most likely we will begin to see references to areas of the park or attractions referred to as other things before an all out rebranding. CDBB will likely be no exception. If I had to guess, it will be "Boomerang Bay" by all accounts, but you probably won't see too many changes in that area of the park this year.

Reclaimer Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I don't know if I'd want to be running around with only a sparse amount of clothing on if that were the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplehaze Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Does not matter if everyone is half dressed, when I go to Bubba Gumps and pound some refreshments(beer) every one looks naked after a few anyhow....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I just got official word from the park that there isn't a set plan for rebranding at the current time. They have been moving forward without Crocodile Dundee, but they still do currently own the rights to use that property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Cedar Fair, is likely still analyzing what they want to do with all the branded attractions, and how they can possibly utilize them to the best of their potential. I think it is no secret that Nickelodeon is a highly popular brand that Cedar Fair would probably not want to loose. The Paramount brands are not, IMO, as critical to pull people into the park as what Nick is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlfox_21 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I also hope they remove the posters from the side of the Paramount theatre. They have been there for years. When I first started working at the park in 1995, those things were up there. They are so worn with age. I agree that these things need to come down now. Along with the NAME..."P" who must not be named Theatre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I can see Top Gun and other Paramount movie named rides getting new in two or three years. Where is this 2007 map everyone is talking about? Also I bet you might see some Nick Toons at Cedar Point this year or next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I think the posters in question were added in 1999. But I don't recall, the ones on Paramount Theater may have been there for before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Just think... after you're done swimming you can relax on Chairy or even connect the dots in the Magic Screen. I hope that KI will re-name CDBB as Crocodile Kyle's Boomerang Bay. And I hope that all over those posters of Crocodile Dundee will be replaced with posters of Crocodile Kyle. He is a character, played by a local public access TV producer, that appeared in the programs "Taste of Thailand" and "Entertainers in the Tri-State". Have a great day!

The Interpreter Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 If they don't keep the rights to use the Crocodile Dundee's name, the other Crocodile name is WAY too similar, and would just invite a lawsuit from Viacom. Something Cedar Fair doesn't need right now...especially since they may sooner or later be meeting in court anyway on some son of a beastly matter....
