cleusk Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Santa Claus Land became Holiday World and Marineland of the Pacific became Marineland. Are there any other well-known theme parks outside the Six Flags chain that received a name change?
MrSum1_55 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 ^Big Chief's Carts and Coasters became Mount Olympus Theme Park.
bearcut Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Hard Rock Park becoming Freestyle Music Park becoming Rusting Coaster Heaven
deathbydinn Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Michigans Adventure has had a few name changes: Deer Park - Deer Park Funland - Michigan's Adventure Cali's Great America has also had numerous name changes: Marriott's Great America - Great America - Paramount's Great America - Great America - California's Great America Edited June 20, 2011 by deathbydinn
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Dollywood has had a handful of different names as well... - Rebel Railroad - Goldrush Junction - Goldrush - Silver Dollar City - Dollywood
eddie200330 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Lakemont - Boyertown USA - Lakemont Apparently some dude bought the park and changed the name for a while, and then I believe the state or county bought it back and renamed it back to it's original name.

CoasterCreator9 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Belmont Park used to be called Mission Beach Amusement Center. (Something to that effect.)
rcdude Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 A few I know that haven't been mentioned yet (some are minor parks, but others aren't): Busch Gardens-The Dark Continent -> Busch Gardens Tampa -> Busch Gardens Africa -> Busch Gardens Tampa Busch Gardens: The Old Country -> Busch Gardens Williamsburg -> Busch Gardens Europe -> Busch Gardens Williamsburg Cypress Gardens -> Cypress Gardens Adventure Park -> Legoland Florida Grand Slam Canyon -> Adventuredome Hecker Pass Family Adventure -> Bonfante Gardens -> Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park In addition, all the former Paramount Parks added Paramount to their name at one point and have since dropped it. And then there is the least obvious name change I can think of: Disney's California Adventure -> Disney California Adventure
cal1br3tto Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Counting Six Flags parks... Marine World Africa USA (original?) The New Marine World Theme Park Marine World Six Flags Marine World Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (current) I believe coasters didn't appear until after the first name change. I first visited the park as Marine World Africa USA. It has also been called Marine World and Marine World/Africa U.S.A. in a different location with no rides.
Snoopy Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Valleyfair! became Valleyfair. Camp Snoopy at MOA became Nickelodeon Universe. Actually it was Knotts Camp Snoopy, then Camp Snoopy, then Park at MOA, then Nickelodeon Universe.
