This really makes me sad, I remember going to Carowinds/Kings Dominion when Paramount was there, I loved the Scooby-Doo rides, Runaway Reptar, Borg, Spongebob 4-D, Tomb Raider’s Volcano, Nickelodeon central, Hannah Barbara town, and along with the water parks that were there as well during that time. Honestly it’s just not the same anymore :(
Before Spongebob 4D it was Days of Thunder in the same theater with moving chairs etc, such great memories at Carowinds 😪 back in the day.
The old Great America was awesome. I'm glad I got to enjoy it as a kid especially with the Nickelodeon themed areas.
I miss when great America was owned by paramount. Those were the good old days
Ya, but paramount started slacking, and didn’t want to keep with the theme parks after the merger. 😓
Don't know why I randomly looked up paramount videos of great America but glad I did
Nickelodeon brings back my childhooood what a throw backk
Paramount should definitely consider building their own parks. They could be serious competition against Disney and Universal.
Paramounts Great America was its best years for my childhood/teenage years. Top Gun was my favorite. Once Cedar took over the place went to trash. It’s a joke now and definitely not the same. Glad I still have those Paramounts Great America shot glasses! 🙌🏾 Six Flags Magic Mountain and Discovery Kingdom is now my go to for amusement parks. Never in my life would I ever have thought Marine World Africa/USA(Six Flags Discovery Kingdom) would be the more desirable spot over Marriotts Great America(Californias Great America) 🤔🤷🏾♂️
I grew up going to Great America in Santa Clara. I really appreciate seeing coverage on it.
Talk about a nostalgic intro
crazyyyy how different everything used to look🤯
One of my core childhood memories was meeting Dora and watching the Dora live show at Kings Dominion when I was younger. It hurts to see how much it’s changed ngl cause it lost that charm now.
I live in Maryland and have visited Kings Dominion and loved the ride. One Paramount Park you missed was The Star Trek Experience at the then Las Vegas Hilton. When you entered the ride they had a short video and at the end it said welcome to Paramount parks.
Nice! Yeah, I made a creative decision to keep this documentary short and about the main parks most people were familiar with. I left out Bonfante Gardens and Star Trek: The Experience. I think there was also a park in Spain they managed too.
@@ChaseGilliatt hanna barbera and star trek where there when i was little but nickaloaian came when i was a teen
So far I've been to Kings Dominion in the years 2008 and 2013 and Kings Island in 2015. Those are two of my favorite parks anywhere.
My family got season passes to King's Dominion every year and went to the park more weekends than not when I was in elementary school. I'm 24 now and idc what anyone says; the Woodstock Express will always be "the Scooby Doo ride" in my eyes
That’s what I say about Carowinds!! Lol I don’t call it the Woodstock express… it’s SCOOBY DOO FOREVER!!
Awesome! Very interesting to see the rides and attractions change names.
I hope paramount buys cedar fsir again it would be awsome and plus paramount would get their old parks back and some
New ones
I loved Kings Island as a kid..when it made the change and featured less nickelodeon it kind of lost its magic for me.
That's how I felt when going to King's Dominion in 2008 after not being able to go from late 2003-07 due to selling and building a house and seeing that everything started to change, Didn't notice it right away as the gift stores at the front of the park was always Nick focused but we had a walk of fame at the front for the famous movies that I saw was gone then noticed the movie title for the rides were changed
the action theater in canadas wonderland was rebranded to a haunted house
Actually The Scooby Doo ride at Kings Island is called Scooby Doo & The Haunted Castle
Yes it was
Great video, your channel is really underrated!
Sucks so bad.. grew up going to Great America.. Paramount’s Great America was definitely the glory days
I still miss SpongeBob at carowinds
Really fine work my friend. Kudos :)
Carowinds was better with the paramount themes.
Peanuts Pirate At Carowinds was original At Canadas Wonderland as Great Whale of China
great america had the wild thornberrys comvee
Did you see the news about Great America? It’s sad
I grew up with it being paramounts great America with movie themes everywhere and Hanna barbera. I visited a couple years ago and was shocked all the theming was gone. It’s basically a fair with good rides. It’s just so bland and has no character. So sad. I had season passes through my whole childhood with family having work picnics and everything.
Paramount could get the parks back as CBS and Viacom remerged and are now just Paramount. Maybe with the push for paramount, maybe we get parks back.
Maybe, but all signs seem to point towards Cedar Fair keeping them since they are investing in them each year.
@@ChaseGilliatt maybe paramount could give an exclusive license to paramount assets for cedar fair parks
Maybe they’ll scoop up some Six Flags parks. I know they are going through it at the moment. They could build from scratch too which I think they are internationally.
@@slumpdogyt I did read that CBS offered a 10-year license deal for everything Paramount/Nick in the original sale/contract but Ceder Fair decided not to and just used the Nick shows until '10
Carowinds!!!
I don’t like the parks as Cedar Fair. It makes the parks like generic.
cedar fair absolutely genericfied great america
So...then does this mean Kings Island might get Nickolodean back?
Nah, they are still owned by Cedar Fair and they like to rock and roll with the Peanuts gang.
@@ChaseGilliatt i liked the hanna barbera lands better then nickalodean thats the only thing ya forgot in history and scooby doo dark rides were actually made for the hanna barbera areas in paramount parks not the nickaloadean areas
@@ChaseGilliatt Full History on kids area half of it was themed to nickaloadian half of it was Hanna Barbera
Scooby Doo 💯🔥
scooby doo rides were actually part of hanna barbera witch was actually there before nickalodian i always perfered hanna barbera over nick
So sad
