Sandsuky, Ohio -- Move over, SpongeBob and Dora. Make way for Snoopy.

North America's third-largest amusement parks chain says it's putting Charlie Brown, Snoopy and other Peanuts characters into five more of its parks next year.

The Peanuts gang will replace the Nickelodeon characters and themed rides at Canada's Wonderland near Toronto and Kings Island near Cincinnati. They'll also be added at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia, Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Great America near San Francisco.

Ohio-based Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. says its contract with Nickelodeon was up and it has had success with the Peanuts characters in its other parks around the country.

The company operates 11 amusement parks, seven water parks and five hotels.

It's nice to see some classic comic strip characters getting some respect!

Gee, no mention of Peanuts coming back to the Mall of America? Disappointing. I liked when the park was "Camp Snoopy," not "The Park at MOA." (True story.)

Ahh, yeah, classics.

I haven't been to Cedar Point lately, but I'd really love to go.

The day I get a car, I will be having a Summer that I will NEVER forget...just to get this summer's taste out of my mouth!

I never really had a desire to go to any of these theme parks, but if Snoopy and the gang are there, I will definitely be putting them on my future-trip list! My husband and I are BIG Snoopy/Peanuts fans!

Good!

Even though I haven't been to any of those amusement parks since 1993 (Kings Island, specifically) I like what they're doing by putting the classic characters back in their parks. Good riddance to those Viacom puppets!
