TheJewelOfJool Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Didn't they just update the kids area? Yes. Â Â With 3 new rides. Â Â WTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 What's the point of holding a giant announcement if it's 3 kiddie rides that are essentially clones of rides already at the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB305 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 How did their marketing team think this would go? Honestly it could've been done over a Facebook announcement and it still would've been disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Theme Parks. Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Well, we didn't get the Pipe Scream roller coaster inside a theater with an NFL Madden dark ride inside it like I hoped, but this is even more thrilling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCI Wooden Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Didn't they just update the kids area? Yeah, they added 8 new rides to Planet Snoopy in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJewelOfJool Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 What's the point of holding a giant announcement if it's 3 kiddie rides that are essentially clones of rides already at the park? Because Cedar Fair hates us, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  I've had KD season passes for 8 years now, so next year might be the year I take a year break considering I have to drive 3.5 hours to get to the park. Although I live closer to Carowinds I can never visit that park more than once or twice a year considering it just doesn't do much for me besides the big 3 (Fury, Intimidator, Afterburn). I can drive 4 hours and get Dollywood season passes instead.  This is a fantastic addition to the park don't get me wrong, but it's becoming obvious that Cedar Fair is fine with BGW becoming the leading park in the region. 2018 needs to be big for KD for them to remain a regional power. For the park's benefit, I'm hoping SFA gets scrap as usual.  I'm interested to see the exact placement of these rides and if any are placed on the former Shockwave site.

KICoasterkev Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Yeah they did.. They REALLY want to take the 'best kids area award' away from their sister park ki. There's no doubt about it now. Lol. That's why ki expanded theirs in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrd64fan Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Even though I'm not completely a fanboy. This has got to be a joke. Cedar Fair just announced the closing of one of their parks. Their stockholders are upset. They need a BIG announcement to get their stockholders interested. 3 new kiddie rides, wi-fi, a kiddie pass, and a picture service is not a terribly BIG announcement.

coasterkid124 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I don't think it was necessary to have a large announcement like this for such a small addition. I get it if they are announcing it in stages, or whatever, but I think even most of the GP will be pretty peeved with this one. Planet Snoopy doesn't need any more attention right now. I would have been satisfied even if they announced a traditional re-track of Hurler. Â Don't think too many people will be rushing to buy season passes for next year after that.

Â Â Update: The rides will replace the current Planet Snoopy meet and greet building and Snoopy's Moonbounce. Â They could have at least kept those and placed these new rides where Shockwave's lifthill/drop were and created a path connecting the Flying Ace area to the Delirium plaza.
