With the fact that the legacy Cedar Fair Peanuts license expires at the end of this year and isn’t removed (and that peanuts merch was put on sale at the park recently) some people have talked about snoopy and the peanuts leaving the park in favor of the Looney Tunes. He’s my ideas for a looney tunes area in the park. Here’s my ride name replacement suggestions (although it really doesn’t matter which character goes to what ride for the most part)  Charlie Brown’s Windup- Gossamer Ghoul Spin Joe Cool’s Dodgem School- Michigan J. Frog Dancing School Woodstock Express- Bug’s Bunny Express (Or Beastie if you want a throwback, but it wouldn’t fit with the rest of the theming)  Snoopy vs Red Baron- Foghorn Leghorn’s Flight School Woodstock Whirlybird- Daffy Duck Helicopter Tours Character Carousel- Remains the same basically  The Great Pumpkin Coaster- Elmer’s Opera (Theming based on the What’s Opera Doc? short) Surf-Dog- Duck Dodgers: Galactic Adventure Peanuts Off-Road Rally- Looney Tunes Road Rage Snoopy’s Junction- Bugs Bunny Express  Linus’ Beetle Bugs- Lola’s Lady Bugs Snoopy’s Space Buggies- Marvin The Martian’s Space Buggies Kite Eating Tree- Sylvester’s Tree House Franklin’s Flyers- Taz’s Tornado Twirl Snoopy’s Soapbox Racers- Road Runner Run | Theming remains the same with Acme crates and supplies placed around the ride area. With the audio system, I can definitely see the “meep meep” sound effect being played when you reach the deadend track. Woodstocks Airrail- Tweety Bird Flight Charlie Brown’s Rushing River Log Ride- Kenton’s Cove Keelboat Canal | Only ride I’m not connecting to the Looney Tunes branding, the name being a reference to a legacy attraction. Ride remains the same except for removal of peanuts sculptures.  Sally’s Sea Plane- Porky’s Bus Ride  Linus Launcher- Tasmanian Twister  Boo Blasters on Boo Hill- Stays the same. Just kidding, if you know me you know I’m gonna suggest Phantom Theater 2!  Peanut Showcase Theater- Looney Tunes Theater | Inside is refurbished into a small theater that plays Looney Tunes shorts on loop throughout the day (a indoor break attraction that requires minimal staffing)  Beagle Scout Acres- Rethemed to Bugs Bunny Burrows  Really I’d feel indifferent to any retheme of the children’s area since I’m physically unable to ride 80% of the rides. The only rides I feel like this would really benefit would be Soapbox Racers since I can see the road runner theme working really well for that and I also like the idea of a movie theater since I love attractions like that at parks. Also my only gripe with the current snoopy theming is the generic pop music in the land, I’d love for them to make it more cartoon specific.  Even though I mostly grew up on the snoopy theming, basically all the themes of the kids area has just been “[B-Tier Cartoon Character’s] crazy spinner”, so to me as long as the kids are having fun it doesn’t cheapen the park if the looney tunes theming is added to this location (Which is not the case for me if DC was given a retheme of a current area, even if its Action Zone)  I do wonder what the logistics of this would be considering the Peanuts license expires without renewal this year. I think on its own, considering that the peanuts branding is admittedly minimal, it’s a project that could easily be completed in the offseason and for cheap considering they could keep all the rides (plus added bonus if boo blasters is getting/was planning to get a redo in the 2026 season), but when this projects being done to 8 or so parks, I wonder if this would be feasible for Six Flags to do versus what it would cost to renew the Peanuts’ license. I would love the kids area to be like the Sesame Street lands at Seaworld parks or any of the Disney or Universal kids lands, where families can ride a lot of attractions together, but also like obviously I’d prefer that since I won’t be riding Peanuts Off-Road Rally as it is (believe me I tried many many times)

Keep in mind this insane MVP sale started at Wonderland around the same time as the ride opening...

I've also really enjoyed my visit to Holiday World this year compared to my visits to Kings Island. I've also quite enjoyed Kentucky Kingdom as well, seeing that Herschend is starting to invest into that park. Since I'm going to Cedar Point in two weeks, I already went ahead and bought and activated my 2026 season pass for Kings Island, but I'm definitely going to keep renewing my season pass for Kentucky Kingdom also.

I'm planning to buy Holiday World passes for next season honestly. Even though I live 3 hours away we've had a lot better experiences at Holiday World this year vs. KI... 

Imo that's probably the right decision. If it takes until July to open a new major attraction, you shouldn't invest in another new ride the next year and you should push all your marketing next season of what was new this season.  Also imo it should give them the opportunity to reset construction timelines as ever since LazyBear Lodge in 2022 (which opened in the fall I believe) they had been far behind on construction projects.
