Lets be serious...If they did away with Nick they might as well close down the park. Now, having said that and the fact that Carowinds is a FAMILY amusement park... I dont think the attendance will be as high as it is...<chuckle>...if they were to do away with Nick. You said yourself they are marketing schemes to get kids attention. Lets put two and two together, if a child wants to go to the park, they care nothing of the price. A parent/guardian is more than willing to sacrafice that rediculous amount for the kids (I've seen it every day for the past 5 years). I hate to break it to you but Carowinds has lost its entertainment purpose a very long time ago. If you want entertainment like they use to have, look for the live bands. Look for the dancers and performers. I'm not talking about that sad department they call "Entertainment" today. That is nothing more than a 16 yr old with a microphone and a well memorized script. Carowinds use to be much, much, more and the fact that people believe its anything bigger than a family park to entertain children, (Prime Source of Income being families), is rediculous.

Cedar Fair is NOT Disney, no one takes their kids just to see Peanuts, Hanna-Barbera, Nicktoons, etc. Families go to amusement parks to have fun and get away from the world. Cedar Fair could drop all cartoons and attendance would not be affected. Nicktoons, Peanuts, Disney, etc they are marketing schemes to get kids attention. Parents aren't going to take their kids just because their kids want to go. Enterainment is enterainment no matter what face is on it.
