We got an invert right across from an old invert and a new wood coaster in the same area of the park as our most famous wood coaster. So at least those B&M's are in different parts of the park 

We just saw it last night at Canada's Wonderland. It's pleasant but I'm not sure how the more obscure Christmas song choices will play for most guests. Knott's Merry Farm is using the same Tree Lighting Ceremony as well. They seem to generally go their own route with holiday entertainment so this might be a chain-wise directive.

Yes.   I'm hoping it will be a better show in person,  video sometimes doesn't convey what it's like in person. But it just seems a little over the top trying to do musical numbers with an acting piece as well. The "old" ceremony was a bit cheesy, but it did pull at the heartstrings. 

Don't say anything in front of Snoopy's Soapbox Racers and Backlot. Parenthood is tough.

IIRC, Oktoberfest was a last minute addition to the park’s lineup of lands, which if that’s true is ironic.
