well that would suck b/c then paramount would probablyy do nothing at all for next season...they might try and go out with a bang, but paramount doesn't seem to care about that it seems

Prime example of how to butcher the English Language.

This is pretty cool! Maybe cedar fair will put somthing in that isn't for little kids.

[CoasterChris]

I think Nick Central 2005 will be the last kiddie additions we see for a while.

^Not counting the 2006 boomerang bay additions of course. :rolleyes:

Kiddie? Yeah the Flyers and Dutchman are so for kids. <_<

[CoasterChris]

Sorry. Maybe i should have said Family attractions. But then again when it comes down to it all attractions are family attractions.

[MarkD]

^ I do not think ALL attractions are family attractions. I can't ride Taxi Jam unless I have a small child.



OK, I forgot where I read this but, somewhere in my attempts of surfing the net to read any news there was one tid-bit that stood out.

The line said that King's Island and King's Dominion would be keeping thier name. The article said nothing about the other parks.

Anyone got any juice about this?

[coasterdave]

But a parent could ride with their kids so I would call it a family attraction. You are just ticked because your kids are all grown up Foreseer and you can not ride it, but never fear there is always the Dora Train that you can still ride.

On second thought, forget about Dora and go ride the Flyers instead.

Mark, you should've been at C3 three years ago (or was it 4 years?) when the park was kind enough to give us ride time on Taxi Jam. Talk about looking funny! Seeing an entire train of adults and making the best out of a rare moment..

Did you mean they would be keeping the names "Paramount Kings Dominion" & "Paramount Kings Island" or just KD & KI?

I can't imagine them keeping the word Paramount in any of the parks names.

[coasterbruh]

^ hate to butt in here but last year we recieved ERT on taxi jam also! B)

[MarkD]

I got the ole Taxi Jam during the last C3, but I still don't see where ALL rides are Family attractions. They are "IF" circumstances are right for your family.

Anywho...here is where I read about the names. It is about 3/4 way down the page. <a href='http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/200605/116/' target='_blank'>News</a>

The names Kings Island & Kings Dominion are iconic names, known nationwide (if not worldwide) and have been around over 30 years. It would be pure stupidity on behalf of Cedar Fair to change the names anyway.

The same feeling I have applys to Carowinds. That name is synonymous with the Carolinas and the south and I feel certain it's name will not change (except for losing the Paramount name).

[CoasterChris]

I personally don't see any names changing. Maybe Great America but i doubt it.

[Hammer8]

cyclone = only ride at carowinds with some ejector airtime...

Hurler has some too.

:rolleyes:

[coasterdude89]

Hurler had some great ejector airtime yesterday in the front row, same with cyclone. Anyway, back on topic.

The only name cahnge I see is removing the Paramount.
