i see your point and that's great. i'm all about anything that will bring worlds of fun business. however that being said i take my son and his cousins (all around five years old) to wof all the time, and i have taken them to ice shows. the rides have high replay value for them, where as the ice shows eventually lose the kid's attention. and we are talkin about disney on ice shows with characters they recognize and shows with a larger budget. if it is an ice show i'm sure they will watch it once and that's all. a new ride however they will ride over and over again. maybe the children you know are different but this is my situation.

I bet Brandon is just screwing with us and they're actually redoing all the bathrooms with super air-conditioning, ultra-flush toilets, mega-flow sinks, true-reflection mirrors and plasma hand driers.

Honestly, I would be more excite about that.

Dorney has a Snoopy gift too and they already have a new theater/ice show.

Appears that the chain is doing a clean sweep and all parks will have Planet Snoopys now.
So will MiA get one too? Will the original (KBF) get converted?

zztop · « **Reply #185 on:** Jul 31, 2010, 01:03 »

well westcoaster showed KFB and there are survey markers all over

Swoosh · « **Reply #186 on:** Jul 31, 2010, 04:00 »

yeah I have no idea what that could be about unless they are finally getting their hyper coaster. There hasn't been anything about new coasters in the chain for next year so I wonder if they are one of the parks to get one... though CanWon might be getting a new coasters as well since their Dolphin Arena is finally being cleared it seems

Oddly enough Point Buzz posted Snoopy on Ice photos.

Some new hints came in today,

"New...
16. The fountain stays!
17. Going to need new vehicle(s)"

Swoosh · « **Reply #189 on:** Aug 2, 2010, 04:44 »

Well thank goodness the fountain is staying. I was wondering if that would be the case or not.

Ken12 · « **Reply #190 on:** Aug 2, 2010, 07:15 »

I think there is more to it than that. Like, for a Planet Snoopy, wouldn't the fountain leave presumably? So maybe thats a hint that takes it closer to the ice show. For the record though, I still say Planet Snoopy. The theater just doesn't make sense to me.

I don't know about the other one. With a theater you might need a zamboni....with rides you would need ride cars.

steel · « **Reply #191 on:** Aug 2, 2010, 07:37 »

I still think the ice show is waaaaay more likely. We know that it's cost slightly over $5 million elsewhere, one of the clues actually used the term "good times" (as in GOOD TIMES theatre), they've talked about it being cool and coming from water, and now this thing with the vehicle - the Zamboni just makes so much sense with that.
I'll be happy if it is Planet Snoopy, but I'm starting to think that's wishful thinking.

I'm really surprised by all of the flume guesses in the blog over the last couple of weeks. People really want more flume.

Swoosh · « **Reply #193 on:** Aug 3, 2010, 02:22 »

It's probably due to Cedar Point getting StR this year.
I personally feel that we're just fine right now with the amount of water rides we have -- unless they want to add a River Battle, which I think would go over very well at WOF just like it has at SDC

Jason · « **Reply #194 on:** Aug 3, 2010, 02:24 »

That would be a cool ride for OoF and WoF to share. Finding a place for it so both parks can easily access it would be someone else's problem.

I'm surprised to, I thought we had enough water rides but I guess the GP wants more.

A River Battle at WOF would be awesome! I can seeing something that going over in the African section of the park or evening Camp Snoopy.

zztop · « **Reply #196 on:** Aug 4, 2010, 12:49 »

it would be really cool if it could be a shared ride imagine going by oceans of fun and getting to splash onlookers

Dorney's Planet Snoopy will feature the park's tallest children's ride, the 40-foot-tall Flying Ace Balloon Race. Also new would be Linus Launcher, where kids and their parents are strapped in face down to fly in a circle; Snoopy's Sky Ride, a 'Peanuts'-theme aerial monorail; the Peanuts 500 kids race down an "expressway;" Woodstock's Whirlwind, a twirling teacup ride; and Snoopy's Junction, a train ride.

Just noticed that all the rides are from Zamperla. I bet they (Cedar Fair) are getting a heck of a deal with such a mass order.

steel · « **Reply #200 on:** Aug 8, 2010, 04:11 »

Looking at the Planet Snoopy map on the website - are they removing Wacky Worm or am I just blind and not seeing it?

Also, http://www.worldsoffun.com/planetsnoopy/

Wacky Worm and that area will not be touched.

I'm working on my photo report right now and it should be up within the hour.

Darn I was pretty close with my predictions. The 6th ride will be a Kiddie Convoy ride.

I thought that the ferris wheel down there was coming out. Did they announce that everything was staying?

Aw that's the area that most needs help, though. :/
