That sucks that they changed the name from Scooby Doo's Ghoster Coaster to the Fairly Odd Parents. Another oringinal of Carowinds gone into the wind and just another example of Paramounts redesign of their parks. The colors of scooby doo do match the Fairly Oddparents in my opinion. I can deal with Taxi Jam, but Scooby Doo, my first coaster that I ever rode. Oh well, at least the coaster track is still there. I will most likely still refer to it as Scooby Doo. Oh well, a least the we got the flyers. I can't wait to ride them. I've hear that they are so much fun!

They are, but it's looking like they are going to let some people down now because of all the hype going around. Maybe not, but expectations are getting high. We may be seeing hour+ waits next season. :lol:

Just hope they don't take out any more hills!

Yea, but then you can say "Let's go ride the FOCer"

I really don't like losing Scooby Doo, but honestly they took all the "theming" out of it recently. It used to have a Mystery Machine out front and that was it.

I like the old name better, but Scooby Doo would make no sense in Nick Central.

It's just a casulty of corporate amercia. lol

I hope they at least paint it. That awful purple or whatever they painted it looks terrible.

Viva Le Natural!

I think it will stay purple since the color goes with the Fairly Odd Parents. What are the chances of that?

Well, I can understand the change due to "Scooby" not fitting into the Nick Central theme but "Fairly Odd Coaster"? That is the stupidest name anyone could give a roller-coaster IMHO. Lame choice Paramount!

Why not:

The Sponge Bobs? B)

Although I agree it is a corny name, It's a very clever name.


I like the Sponge Bobs, lets tell paramount to re-name it that instead of FOCer!.


But FOCer is nothing compared to "teeny weeny" :lol:

REally?? I thought it would be Electric Lime with some hints of black and hot pink in it!. ;)
