gosh darn it bring back the darn boats, i could care less what the theme is. for all i care it could be the trash collected from the park, just bring back the boats....lmao

If the rumors are true, next year we could be suiting up for Bonfire: The Ride.

nah i doubt that .....i think we should be positive here........i think that we will see alot of changes in that area next year. good ones.

Sometimes change is good.

Sometimes it is not.

Time will tell.

thats true....it is what it is tho......i will suport them in whatever direction they go

Also, what about the fact that this is the Kids area? Would that be very fun for most of the kiddies?

SDatHC is not located in NU. It is located on International Street. The park map reflects this.

It was not always thus. There are those who suspect the attraction 'moved' to International Street so a certain doggy would not interfere with exclusive rights for Nick Universe. Other doggies might have similar issues sharing space with Scooby, or not...if such a thing were ever contemplated.

I don't doubt that Cedar Fair will heartlessly rip out SDatHC and leave us with a gift shop in its space. I just can't see CF installing a dark ride.

agreed, they will prolly make a new Dark ride

agreed, they will prolly make a new Dark ride

HUH? That's the opposite of what I said...

SDaTHC is on a separate licensing agreement than Nick. CF is replacing Nick with Snoopy to save money. There is no cost saving on retheming SDaTHC or putting in a new ride in it's place. I will place any amount of money that SDaTHC will be untouched and operate normally.

But the unspeakble document says that Scooby will be leaving...

That may have been a mistake..hence why they pulled it... Scooby is still highly popular with kids and adults these days Scoob has a new movie coming out a new video game and brand new series coming to cartoon network next year.I also see scooby-doo staying Cedar Fair would be stupid to take scooby away.

But, if the Scooby contract will be up in the next couple years, would it save CF money for them to just have the people retheme it too? It would be cheaper for them to add it to the list now (possibly) of rethemes, rather than have a company come back in two years in order to retheme one single ride.

The Contract would be up in 2013 so I dunno I know it would be stupid of them to remove scooby doo besides the contract is with sally corp.Keep in mind if ''scooby'' leaves KI won't have a dark ride CF and dark ride not a good combo.

It is 2013? How'd you find that out? If it's true, I don't see how it would really save them money as that is still many years down the road.

10 Year Contract agreement I'm not sure if it was extened in 2006 or not.

-SDaTHC was added in 2003 so yeah 10 years...2013 again I'm not sure if KI extended the deal when Nickelodeon Universe came in 2006.

The Sally contract likely gives them the rights to use Scooby's name on the ride, but doesn't require it. It is possible that the contract they are expected to have with the Peanuts gang also requires Scooby to be changed as well.

No data, just speculating.

That may have been a mistake..hence why they pulled it...

Or something they don't want us to know. And, I'm not saying that I'd like to see Scooby leave. I'd rather have Scooby than Peanuts.

I seem to remember them pulling early info on the site before, well it may have been CP, they were working on the update before the official announcement and just wanted to see how well it was working and then they pulled it, only to appear when the announcement was made, Oh yes now I remember it was for Planet Snoopy, before the official announcement, they uploaded the announcement for a test run, then quickly pulled it, but not before someone captured it and sent it to Screamscape, a couple weeks later it was back up.

Maybe just the "scooby merch" will leave and the ride will stay intact because of the "sally" deal which possibly doesn't include the sale of merchandise?

agreed, they will prolly make a new Dark ride

HUH? That's the opposite of what I said...

lmao ,, whoops i just re read your reply i mis read it the first time. sorry

It will be really weird if Scooby leaves the park. He's had a presence in the park since grand opening.

yea i think someone said earlier., money money money.

Hey I like Scooby, but I'd rather see money spent other places, than royalties, but hey that's just me

KI confirmed via twtter Scooby on the way out the door W/Nick U.

Edit: was already posted in another thread and I didn't know. Wanted to clarify this before 10 others did.

Well I guess we can say by to our beloved Mystery Inc. Thank you for several great years of memories, you have really made KI's Kid's Area what it is today. Thank you Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby. You will be greatly missed!

At least the Shaggy here will still be seen at Kings Island from time to time, as will Scooby Doo....

Terpy, also sometimes seen there, and known as a character

Well Terpy, I am looking forward to the day where a cartoon character gets his own show and his name will be, Jasper. That will be the day.

I'd say something about appearing as Porky Pig at one or more Six Flags parks, but I probably shouldn't....

Terpy, did you just call me Porky Pig, hence, calling me fat?

I did not.

But that guy in that Pig suit at that park up north weighed quite a bit more then than he does now. And it gets hot in there. So I'm....uh....told.
