You know what I'd like to see brought back? The puppet tree. Now that was something I looked forward to every year when I was a child. When the new season rolled around, I couldn't wait to get to the park to see what new characters and songs would be part of the show. Ever year I had my favorite character puppet and song. My dad would take his camera and get a picture of that puppet for me. I remember one year it was a koala bear puppet that sang and danced to "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport." For whatever reason, I just really liked that part of the show.

Not sure if kids today would be into this kind of thing, but it was something I looked forward to most every visit to the park.

XD YES!!! The Puppet Tree, I've heard about that show. Are there any videos of the show on YouTube?!

Part 2

Also, I've been trying to find the show where Fred Flintstone dances with a carrot (as Terpy remembers), but I can't seem to find it anywhere...

EDIT: Actually, I think I found the correct show from this video, but it doesn't show him dancing with a carrot (link is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruoRNC6m8dM- show starts at 4:31)

Found it!

PEANUTS Playhouse is the name of the theater being removed next year, and can be referred to as such.

I think they should move the playhouse to the Enchanted Theater, just saying...

After it was removed, it wound up in somebody's backyard for a couple decades. There were pictures online somewhere of it, before it was scrapped, but I can't for the life of me find them again.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

 

Only took a year, but found it!

 

From Facebook user Linda Mason:

 

The tree was removed from the park after the 1992 season. Upon visiting in 1993 ,my daughter spied the tree near a back lot dumpster. I called Kings Island the next day and they GAVE me the tree ( never hurts to ask) .After obtaining permits and insurance I had it transported to my home where "Woody" remained until I had to move without him and the new home owners eventually had him taken down.

Final destination

 

He finally got real leaves ...He's so happy.

 

 

I recall finding photos though of the tree's removal from the backyard... guess I'll have to keep looking for those ones

Wow, amazing pics!  It's good to know that he found a home after his removal from the park.  It would've been nice if he was still existing somewhere though!
