^Ahhhhhh,

O.K. I wasn't here in '72, so what do I know?

Cory wasn't here in 72, and he learned that.

Obviously I just learned that too.

Hey, your the one who asked.

^ You sound just like my parents.

(and if someone says THEY weren't around in 72, I think I am going to cry! )

Well someone's gotta babysit the 13 year olds when their parents aren't watching what they do on the net

^ You sound just like my parents.

Jackson, like this post I am currently writing, what does that have anything to do with this forum?

^I am not sure.

I was replying to Gordon's Post.

So CF needs to get rid of any reference to the Paramount Movie days....

What's up with this?

Check the name of the park...

http://www2.cedarfair.com/kingsisland/attr...l.cfm?ai_id=158

wouldn't this seem like a pretty simple fix.... 2 years ago?

and I notice that Face/Off... er... Invertigo is located in "Action Zone" - which has a "TM" by the name... does that mean that this area is subject to a name change as well?

Also, the PKI... I mean KI web "favicon" is still the Paramount mountain.

Yeah, I noticed that earlier today, and I thought that would have been taken care of by now.

yea, I'm thinking like closing weekend 2006.

Ok Tomb Raider was the most heavily themed ride in Kings Island history or something like that. Am I right? So how are you just going to get up and go change a ride that took 20 Million Dollars to construct. To Me it is going to look very weird without the little pre-show showing the story of Lara Croft. "Famous Last Words"

My guess is that they'll keep the general premise the same, but just remove/update/alter the existing theming so that it won't be associated with Tomb Raider. My guess is that the queue theming and most of the on-ride theming will remain. The only thing during the ride I can see being changed is the giant stone statue on the forward wall (since that might resemble the movies too much). But I do think there will be a completely new pre-show (if it even comes back at all).

The only reason I can guess as to why they didnt rename congo falls is because 1. they are planning on taking it out in the years to come, or 2. well i dont know a 2 but yah thats the only reason I can come to why they wouldnt change the name..

Cedar Fair acquired the trademarks owned by Paramount Parks when it acquired the parks. Only those things that were licensed from others could not be included, and must be negotiated as licenses expire. The Action Zone trademark, not unlike The Beast, is doubtless now a Cedar Fair property.

I think the Action Zone sign was taken out last year.

That sign actually said "Paramount Action Zone" which is more than likely why it was removed, and so quickly. It couldn't have taken much time at all to rip that sign out, which is probably why it was one of the first things to go.

KICentral still needs to update the new names at the bottom it still says the old ones and in the photo gallery you need to change the names

It was just made official in the last few days. Give these guys a break.

haha thanks KIBeast. We're all pretty busy this of fseason, I'm sure everything will be taken care off shortly.

-Gordon Bombay, who, on 3 hours of sleep, is waiting for a philosophy test to begin, then will fix names in the photo gallery.

Maybe because Congo Falls doesn't directly refer to the movie Congo.

Congo is not only a movie, but it's a place!

Most people do not realize that Congo was a movie.

Why would they take out Congo Falls. Its the only ride on that side of the park that contains water.

Please take our poll about how you feel about some of the ride name changes.

Congo was an awful movie.

I would like to do two polls.

#1- who on this board knew Congo was a movie

#2- who on this board even knew that Congo was more than just a country to conqueror on a "Risk" board

I can answer yes to both of those... (Although, I usually think of "Congo" in terms of the Michael Crichton novel first, and the Paramount movie second...)

To add to your polling, though, I wonder how many know what a "Risk" board is!

I can answer yes to both of Elmer's questions and I can accept your challenge to play Risk JZ!

Risk - sure do and one of my favorite memories was sitting around playing a game with some friends watching Gulf War one; it added another dimension to the game. Oh the good old days.

^ I haven't played Risk since the 80's!
