PKI *really* goes Hollywood for 2004

Jeff Siebert announced on Wednesday that Paramount's Kings Island would be celebrating The Beast's 25th Anniversary this season with a huge yearlong celebration featuring history signage and a documentary of the ride's construction history plus a "Hollywoodization" of the ride this year.

Paramount's Magic at the Movies Live will invade the old Paramount Theatre with new theatre-style seating and an interactive experience showcasing some of the studios biggest hits like Titanic and Sleepy Hollow where *you're* the star.

Nickelodeon Celebration Parade will run from mid-July to mid-August starring over 75 live performers and your favorite Nick characters plus banners and floats. More Nick characters will also be adding to the roaming character line-up and there will be times when many characters are together on one place so you can get all the pictures you want.

In addition, Boomerang Bay has been renamed Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay and Paul Hogan, Crocodile Dundee himself, will be the spokesperson.

On another note, I think the "Preview Day" for those who received tickets at NCC or Eastcoaster are for May 27th, not the 20th like I believe was posted on the tickets. I still need to check with the park or hear from someone else to confirm this.

History signage? As in they will bring back the paw prints on the concrete? ;-)

Thanks for the heads up, Danny. :-) I look forward to seeing Dundee's Boomberang Bay! Looks like The Beach will have a run for it's money big time, to say the least. :-) Heck, I look forward to the Tazmanian Typhoon is it? Those funnels are insane, at least Zinga was.
