California’s Great America continues to transform Nickelodeon Centeral into the new for 2010, Camp Snoopy area. The park’s Facebook page has a batch of new photos that show off the construction under way to turn a modern Nick themed area into a nostalgic Planet Snoopy. With painting, resurfacing, and much more construction happening during the off season, the park is in a rush to finish Planet Snoopy in time for opening day.
The Planet Snoopy transformation is quite a large job to accomplish. Nearly all the children’s attractions in the parks need to be renamed, rethemed, reimagined for the transformation to be successful. Some of these transformations include Spongebob’s Boat Mobiles to Peanut’s Pirates, Wild Thornberry’s Tree Top Lookout to The Great Pumpkin Patch, Rugrat’s Reptar Runaway to Woodstock Express and Nickelodeon Theater to Peanut’s Playhouse.
Be sure to come back in just a few weeks for opening day coverage of the park full of pictures of Planet Snoopy. Leave a comment with your Park Thoughts below.

Planet Snoopy has been announced as the replacement for all of the Nickelodeon Central and Hannah Barbara’s Kidzville areas in the former Paramount Parks. These new Snoopy-fied areas are all currently in the construction phase and each ne is set to open in time for the 2010 opening day.
Cedar Fair recently launched a new Planet Snoopy website for each of their four new locations in California’s Great America, King’s Island, King’s Dominion and Carowinds. Each website comes with a video, a link to the parks home page, operating schedule, and a park map. Below is one of the park maps from California’s Great America.
The park maps are not the updated versions sadly but they do indicate the park entrance (what every theme park enthusiast needs to know) as well as the location of the up and coming area. Check out the website here. Be sure to leave your Park Thoughts on Planet Snoopy below.

It seems that most people think the possible Cedar Fair buyout will help the company. However, more think that it won’t help the company that much. When the news came out about Apollo Management offering to buy the company, it seemed like a done deal. But it was far from one. Cedar Fair’s shareholders are now blocking the buyout, saying that the proposed $2.4 billion is not enough. The shareholders would get $11.50 for each share, which is more than the $6 it was in March of 2009. It seems like the shareholders should be more than excited that another company sees value in Cedar Fair. We’ll see whether this will fly, or stay grounded.

Recently, we have heard that Cedar Fair will adopt the “Peanuts” characters to replace the Nickelodeon theme. All will come in the 2010 season when Camp Snoopy opens at Carowinds, California’s Great America, Canada’s Wonderland, Kings Island, and Kings Dominion.
