Not Comics: Mall of America and Peanuts Break Ties Over Amusement Park

imageThe amusement park at the gigantic Mall of America is losing its Peanuts theme, according to this article in Editor & Publisher. The reason is that the Mall corporation assumed control of "Camp Snoopy" from operator Cedar Fair, who hold the rights to the Peanuts license in an amusement park setting. The only reason I mention this is because I once heard that amusement park deals were a real status symbol for comic strip and related license-seekers. The Mall's amusement park is the largest indoor one in the country. If you click through the image, which is a from a tourist site so I hope it's okay to borrow it, it seems as if the Mall has already started to change the name.
