Concepts Think Tank

Does anyone know if they still use the theater in Planet Snoopy? I remember seeing KD’s version of All Wheel Sports there in 2015, but since then i don’t remember it being used for much.

I think they have regularly occurring summer shows there... But it's been a long time since I've seen any

The last time they used it for a show was Winterfest 2021 for Tinker’s Toy Factory (which moved to the Kings Dominion Theater this past year, leaving the Peanuts Showplace dark for 2022.) They do still use the theater for special events though. Given KD’s lack of permanent show venues though, I think it’s a shame this theater doesn’t host more (and better) shows.

Would be nice if they could encapsulate it for HVAC, I think that'd give them more indoor activity flexibility - If I remember, there's a lot of space they could reconfigure for other uses than a theater.

This was sorta inspired by @Intimidator325 ‘s idea. I think a Vekoma SFC would work with the park’s lineup. Just take out the theater and Flying Ace and you’d have more than enough space.

I don’t think the removal of either of those is necessary. They don’t take up a whole bunch of space and the layouts can go over paths.

You actually make a pretty good point, I mainly said that because the theater never gets used and i don’t think that many people are riding Flying Ace

Currently there are 3 - count em - 3 rides about Snoopy's air pilot alter-ego...Flying Ace, Flying Ace Balloon Race, and Snoopy Vs. Red Baron. Speaking of adding to Planet Snoopy, could Road Rally and Turnpike be reaching the end of their service lives? Kids love them but I don't see big lines for them often. That whole space combined could fit a tiny Vekoma family launch coaster or something like that, and they could reuse the old Turnpike station for loading/unloading. It's a shame that those two rides were so easy to operate and places I could just vibe.
