:idea: Why do we have Boo Blast AND PvZ right next to each other??? Goodbye Dodgems, goodbye booblast, hello 2019!

Dodgems could go away but I mean boo blasters is usually a pretty popular attraction so I think they would keep that

Carowinds announces a new themed day. Camp Paramount.

Reminisce on old rides for 1 day a year. All rides are renamed a Paramount and old rides return for one day.

I'm bored today....

I would actually love something like that. Afterburn goes back to Top Gun, Nighthawk back to Borg, Wayne's World theming on Hurler, etc. I think it'd be a cool way to show off the park's history. Maybe even get some of the Nickelodeon characters inside of Harmony Hall.

Uh, no . . .

Why not? We all know that Cedar Fair is trying to make the park thematically correct, but it could be a pretty fun event and a way to drum up interest during the dead summer days. Camp Snoopy is the only real area I could see having complications, but Kiddy Hawk could easily revert back to Reptar (just without the giant dinosaur statue).

Who's going to pay for those licenses? There's a reason Cedar Fair changed the names when they purchased the parks. The rights to the names (Paramount trademarks) did not come with the purchase.

I think some people literally forgot it's April Fool's Day...lol

Getting back on topic, I used an acreage calculator to find out exactly how much land they're working with, and I really underestimated the size of the site.

The area for Project Alpha is about 4.65 acres (give or take without adding Flying Eagles)

To give some perspective, I calculated the acreage of three GCI coasters.

Wodan at Europa Park is about 2.64 acres:

Keep in mind, it's one of the largest GCIs

Mystic Timbers is about 3.84 acres:
