God bless! Now I like this announcement! Wonder where the gliders will be relocated? And what are they going to do with the hideous Flying Ace Ariel Chase?

Ask your sources . . . :clap: :lol:

That's not a bad idea, If they renovate the surrounding area, If they don't then might as well leave it alone.

No it won't fit there with the new launch coaster for 2018.

There you go, setting yourself up for disappointment again . . .

lol I've been jokingly suggesting for years that they put one of those Snoopy Canoe statues on top of that rock formation since CP, Knotts and other parks have that. They finally listened!

I'm Happy with the announcement. The Helicopters and the small boat ride are expendable. Excited to see the carousel near vortex and to see where they put the flyers. This is another great addition. Six new rides with a net gain of four is good.

Also, Pre K pass.

It seems to me that the park may be intentionally transitioning Camp Snoopy into more of a focus on younger children by installing these new rides for young kids and relocating the "all ages" carousel and flyers rides into the main park. I think it makes a lot of sense and it is what parks traditionally have done and it makes the rest of the park more well-rounded. It ensures that the whole family will have things to do as they move around the park and puts these rides in places where they will be accessed by people after they've "graduated" from going to Camp Snoopy.
