Have a great weekend and next week brings VERY exciting news. Stay tuned!

Any ideas?

Haunt announcement?

Swoosh · « **Reply #2 on:** Sep 5, 2009, 10:35 »

No, they already announced Club Blood - it's on the HAUNT website

My guess is that it won't be a new coaster. That's the only thing that I can really think of when it comes to narrowing down what's going on for 2010. No one expected the Flume ride at Cedar Point, so then again you never know what to expect. I just don't think it'll be a coaster at all.

I expected it, only because I was told it was going to be from Intamin and a water ride about a month ago.

I'm hoping for a flat ride for WOF or a new slide complex for OOF, both of which are needed

Prowler182 · « **Reply #5 on:** Sep 5, 2009, 12:48 »

When it comes to hope, I'm hoping really bad for a Screamin Swing like Skyhawk. I've said it before but they are so much fun! I love Skyhawk.

Screamin' Swings are a large cap investment though.
I don't think we will see one of those next year - but I will be pleasantly surprised if we go get one.

AyTrane · « **Reply #7 on:** Sep 5, 2009, 02:32 »

Oceans might be a good bet. They haven't had anything news worthy in awhile.

I'd be just as surprised as you but if WoF did go for one, the public would just eat it up. They have great capacity and are just great fun like I've said numerous times. But the capacity is one of the biggest things about the ride.

IF we do get a Screamin' Swing, I would love for them to put it where Wacky Worm and those 2-3 other kiddie rides are. Have the entrance there behind Cyclone Sam's -- then move the Wacky Worm and those rides up into Camp Snoopy and finally integrate them into the theme instead of being a seperate "Tot Spot" that is still themed to Pandamonium/Kiddie Kingdom

I'll put $8 on it not being a swing.

Orient Wolf · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 5, 2009, 06:09 »

My guess is a new owner.

It says something very exciting. I'm not sure that he would describe losing his employer, arguably the best operator of regional parks in the world, as something very exciting.

That said, I have no idea

Odds are it won't be one but one can only hope for one

Gravity Group! Gravity Group!

No... Hmmm, I wouldn't be surprised if this has something to do with OoF. Not to say that I wouldn't love a swing or even a frisbee. Or something else. But I'm okay with Prowler for the time being.

Swoosh · « **Reply #15 on:** Sep 5, 2009, 08:53 »

Well I hope that we FINALLY get our own Tornado slide at OOF.

Snoopy · « **Reply #16 on:** Sep 5, 2009, 10:52 »

Camp Snoopy going bye bye, possibly?
You never know.
Any update on that, btw? A bunch of people said that it was changing to Nicktoons at some point. Iono.

Also, I highly doubt it's a new ride.
Although OOF improvements seem possible.

Totally random: I saw Brandon today at the security gate, and for some reason his hair looks a whole lot darker. Totally freaked me out at first.
Lol. My funniest memory with Brandon happened when I was getting off work, I ran into him and he was asking me how my day was and how I'm liking Games. Then he made sure to ask if I was being a good employee and following all the rules. Haha. I laughed. =P

Snoopy is safe for the forseeable future per the Press Release here: http://www.cedarfair.com/ir/press_releases/index.cfm?current_root=15&mode=story&story_id=203 Bye Bye Nick.

Snoopy · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 6, 2009, 07:43 »

Oh, good. I don't like Nick anyway. =P

Swoosh · « **Reply #19 on:** Sep 6, 2009, 07:16 »

I wouldn't mind Camp Snoopy getting an upgrade to Planet Snoopy with a lot of new kiddie rides and stuff. A Vekoma family inverted would go over very well here.

I still say slide for next year.

===

Thinking out loud, but with Oktoberfest starting next weekend, I wonder if that is not what he is talking about.

Jason · « **Reply #20 on:** Sep 6, 2009, 07:46 »

I'm guessing that it's more exciting that Oktoberfest but maybe less exciting than a new slide.

Ben · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 10, 2009, 08:09 »

I think they will be doubling "In Park" Trash can Theming

caddesigner · « **Reply #22 on:** Sep 10, 2009, 11:03 »

I would guess slide(s) at OOF too. They are due for something. Anybody know when the BBQ competition thing is? I haven't heard anymore about since Brandon mentioned early in the summer.

Robby · « **Reply #23 on:** Sep 10, 2009, 11:37 »

It was going to be labor day weekend. I guess it fell through.

It's the golden ticket announcement.

Swoosh · « **Reply #25 on:** Sep 10, 2009, 02:27 »

Yeah when I figured out that the Golden Ticket awards were going to be announced this week, that pretty much nixed an attraction being announced. Oh well, still exciting for WOF

Prowler182 · « **Reply #26 on:** Sep 10, 2009, 05:56 »

I to was thinking it was a new ride or something. Still is some great news none the less. I'm so proud to say I hold a season pass to Worlds of Fun and was able to ride the best new ride of 2009.

Bradley Robertson · « **Reply #27 on:** Sep 10, 2009, 08:35 »

Yeah, not sure why it took me all day to put that together.

Jason · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 6, 2009, 07:52 »

So the Starlight rumor made it's way to Screamscape this morning.

Swoosh · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 6, 2009, 09:08 »

I hope that's not all we're getting. OoF really needs a new slide.
