===Amusement parks=== [[File:Snoopy_Bounce_at_Cedar_Point_Camp_Snoopy_entrance_(1572).jpg|thumb|Camp Snoopy, at Cedar Point]] In 1983, [[Knott's Berry Farm]], in Southern California, was the first theme park to license the ''Peanuts'' characters, creating the first [[Camp Snoopy]] area and making Snoopy the park's mascot. Knott's expanded its operation in 1992 by building an indoor amusement park in the [[Mall of America]], called ''[[Nickelodeon Universe|Knott's Camp Snoopy]]''. The Knott's theme parks were acquired by the national amusement park chain [[Cedar Fair|Cedar Fair LP]] in 1997, which continued to operate ''Knott's Camp Snoopy'' park until the mall took over its operation in March 2005.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Mall of America strikes deal with Nickelodeon for theme park |url=https://www.usatoday.com/travel/destinations/2007-03-06-mall-of-america-nickelodeon_N.htm |access-date=October 12, 2007 | date=March 7, 2007 |work=USA Today}}</ref> Cedar Fair had already licensed the ''Peanuts'' characters for use in 1992 as an atmosphere,<ref>{{Cite web|last=Munarriz |first=Rick Aristotle |title=Is Pixar Worth $7 Billion to Disney? |date=January 24, 2006 |url=http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2006/01/24/is-pixar-worth-7-billion-to-disney.aspx |access-date=October 12, 2007}}</ref> so its acquisition of Knott's Berry Farm did not alter the use of those characters. In 2024, Cedar Fair merged with [[Six Flags (1961–2024)|Six Flags]], resulting in the latter inheriting the Peanuts characters license. Snoopy is currently one of the official mascots of the [[Six Flags]] parks, primarily in the former Cedar Fair operated areas. It was previously used in all of the park logos but it has since been removed. Before 2011, Cedar Fair also operated a Camp Snoopy area at [[Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom]], [[Worlds of Fun]], and [[Valleyfair]] featuring various ''Peanuts''-themed attractions. There is still a Camp Snoopy area at [[Cedar Point]], [[Carowinds]], [[Kings Island]], Knott's Berry Farm and [[Michigan's Adventure]]. In 2008, [[Cedar Point]] introduced [[Planet Snoopy]], a children's area where Peanuts Playground used to be. This area consists of family and children's rides relocated from Cedar Point's sister park [[Geauga Lake]] after its closing. The rides are inspired by Peanuts characters. In 2010, the [[Nickelodeon Central]] and [[Nickelodeon Universe]] areas in the former [[Paramount Parks]] ([[California's Great America]], [[Canada's Wonderland]], [[Carowinds]], [[Kings Dominion]], and [[Kings Island]]) were replaced by [[Planet Snoopy]]. In 2011, Cedar Fair announced it would also add Planet Snoopy to [[Valleyfair]], [[Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom]], and [[Worlds of Fun]], replacing the Camp Snoopy areas. ″Carowinds″ Planet Snoopy was rethemed to Camp Snoopy. Also, the ''Peanuts'' characters can be found at [[Universal Studios Japan]] in the Universal Wonderland section along with the characters from ''[[Sesame Street]]'' and ''[[Hello Kitty]]'',<ref>{{cite web|url=https://schulzmuseum.org/universal-studios-japan/ |title=Charles M.
