Nick attractions gone public?

I read this on screamscape I wouldnt have payed any mind to it but the rides seem like they could happen because some of those named attractions were put in at carowinds this season and we all know how paramount likes to clone rides....

2006 - Nick Central Expansion - Rumor - (6/24/05) Our latest rumor claims that along with the rehab and renaming of all of the Hanna Barberra attractions into Nick themes, the park may add a few new rides as well. The rumored list of new names we were sent includes the Nick Carwash, Spongebob Squarepants: Mrs. Puffs Crash Course Boating School, Space Surfer, Flying Dutchman’s Revenge, Tommy’s Take Off, Dora’s Railway, Backyardigans Swing-A-Long, Hey Arnold Taxi Chase, Lazytown Sporticopters, NickToons TV Road Trip. The new Crash Course Boating School ride is said to take the place of the Slimezone water play area and Nick Theater.

Yeah sounds good to me I hope that area across from runaway reptar is where Nickcar wash is placed.

So many rides..wow..hope that the rumors of the Nick carwash and Spongebob coaster are true.

I'll be sad to see H-B Land go. But life goes on.

Have a great weekend!

I noticed one strange thing over on Screamscape with regards to those names for Nick Central rides.

From Scream Scape: "Tommy’s Take Off, Dora’s Railway, Backyardigans Swing-A-Long, Hey Arnold Taxi Chase, Lazytown Sporticopters, NickToons TV Road Trip"

Tommy`s Take Off, could very well be the new name for Dick Dastardly`s BiPlanes or Atom Ant Airways or even Yogi`s Sky Tours. Dora`s Railway could be the new name for Quick Draw`s Railway or Baba Looey`s Buggies. Backyardigans Swing-A-Long would be the new logical name for Pixie and Dixie`s Swing set. Hey Arnold Taxi Chase would be the new name for Top Cat`s Taxi Jam. Lazytown Sporticopters could be the new name for Jetson`s Jet Orbiters.

The last name, NickToon`s TV Road Trip could be the new name for Fender Bender 500, or Huck`s Hot Rods. Or it could be the name of the new, relocated Antique Cars. Clearly, some of those names would fit nicely with some of the current HB rides. Hopefully, too many rides in HB are not sacrificed. It would be ashame for PKI to rip out rides from this area, espcially if they are hoping to retain their golden Ticket award. I can see them removing the Nick Theater as it has been used less and less over the past couple of years, and the Crystal Slime Mine Maze just doesn`t seem like a very popular attraction for the dry side of the park. It would be better suited in BB. That could be a nice area for future rides, and would help bridge the gap between the newer Nick Central area of Reptar with the older section of HBL.

Well, the one attraction that stands out most to me is the NickToons TV Road Trip! Why? Carowinds got TVLand Road Trip, it makes you wonder why the sudden network change :huh: Another thing, if it's themed to NickToons TV, does that mean we'll finally see all the old school NickToons that everyone has been waiting for? (Rocko & Heffer, Ren & Stimpy, Norbert & Daggert, Zim & Gir) Lets hope so ;)

I wouldn't expect all of those to be new rides.......more like new names for existing HB-land rides.

Shman, did you read my above post? That was one of the main points of my post. Several of those ride names could fit quite well with existing HBL attractions. Albeit, they will need more names than just those llisted to cover all the existing HBL attractions sans Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle.

I can see Atom Ants Airways getting taken out or being relocated only because I have been hearing rumors that the land across(the blue fence that has nick shows that arent on nick anymore) from runaway reptar will be the site of a New Nick ride.Sounds like screamscape might just be hitting the nail on the head.

I think that the NickToonsTV Road Trip is likely the re-theme of Fender Bender 500 and I think it will be themed to all nicktoons so all older nick stars might have a chance to be included in the theme.

There really is not a lot of room behind Atom Ant Airways. Right on the other side of the fence is the path that goes in front of Reptar. Now there is a lot of space over by the Slime Maze and Nick Theater that could be used for future ride(s). I think whatever happens next year, that there will be more than one area that will receive some attention, and I am not refering to just HB and NC.

Yeah CM is said to have some ''work'' done.

Ready for my guess?

Everything gets a paint job and a new name and they add two new real attractions. Why, you ask? Because it would more or less clone what happened last year in the water park.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, I agree with your logic Bodda, that seems to be the smartest way to go. Everything gets rethemed and renamed, HBLand is overhauled with Nick Central theming that today's kids know and love and they get 2 new rides to have fun on. Sounds like a winner to me. I would like to think that the only attractions that will bite the dust will be the water maze and the meet & greet shelter, but if PKI builds a new kids coaster their logic may lead them to tear down the currently named Ghoster Coaster since they are putting in a new one anyways and use that area to build the Nicktoons Car Wash. I really hope that nothing is lost from the kids area, especially not a rollercoaster since PKI prides itself on its quantity of kids coasters. We'll see though, I'm sure whatever PKI does the kids will love it.

I would rather see PKI get the spongebob squarepants crash course thingy than the Nick Carwash.
