New 2025 All Season Haunted Attraction Passes have been added to Discovery Kingdom and Magic Mountain's purchasing websites. The one at Magic Mountain is $69.00 (nice) for unlimited access to mazes at Magic Mountain's Fright Fest ONLY. The same is available at Discovery Kingdom for $65.00 for DK ONLY. Knott's is offering a new Knott's Scary Farm season pass add-on. It doesn't look like they will require a Haunted Attractions Pass, which would be good considering Scary Farm is already a ticketed event. No official word yet about the Haunted Attractions Pass from any other parks. 

2026 Season Passes are now on sale for California's Great America Gold $75.00 Canada's Wonderland Silver $69.00 Gold $99.00 Prestige $199.00 Discovery Kingdom Gold $49.00 Prestige $145.00 Knott's Berry Farm Season $95.00 Gold $120.00 Prestige $245.00 Magic Mountain  Silver $79.00 Gold $110.00 Prestige $175.00 The front-page promotion offers, "280 coasters, 130 miles of track, 1000 entertainment experiences, 970 water slides, and 500 live shows". For anyone wondering about the entertainment/shows claim, it averages out to around 19 live shows per dry park (26 w/out including SF America or SF Qiddiya City). That 1000 entertainment experiences comes to 38 per dry park; and no doubt includes the 500 live shows. These numbers probably include 1-2 day performances from local bands, fireworks shows, and small-stage performances; but man, it would be awesome to see more entertainment at Kings Island and the other parks across the chain overall.  Looking at all of the leaks and now-published MVP sales it appears that the Silver Pass is now the limited offering, while the Prestige pass will be available at all parks except for California's Great America. Knott's Berry Farm also offers a "Season Pass" instead of a Silver Pass for some reason. Both Magic Mountain and Discovery Kingdom are now officially offering all-season Fast Lane pass add-ons, showing once again that Fast Lane will replace THE FLASH Pass at Legacy Six Flags parks.  I wonder if there is a reason why 2026 passes went on sale today for the California amusement parks (they're not available on the respective CA waterpark websites), as opposed to the July 31st date given by Six Flags.  In related news, check out these screenshots from the Knott's Berry Farm, Canada's Wonderland, and California's Great America apps, respectively: Notice how the Knott's and CGA promotions use the Legacy Six Flags logo, while the Canada's Wonderland promotion uses the new corporate Six Flags logo. Everything else is the same aside from the colors and KBF's use of their logo as well. The inconsistency makes me wonder if they're playing around with whether or not they want to keep using that old logo, or if they are being selective about where they use it at.  In other news, after cancelling their Holiday in the Park winter event, Six Flags Over Georgia has now introduced a standalone VIP Tour opportunity. Great Adventure introduced a similar offering nearly a month ago, although I haven't heard anything about how it compares to other VIP Tours. If it is the same it (at the least) includes a meal, a snack, beverages, a dedicated tour guide, and VIP parking spots (different from Preferred). Kings Island also offers VIP parking between the Handicap and Associate lots, however I don't know who they use theirs for. 

If it is going to continue to legally be part of International Street, they should make that little plaza a little more distinct from Planet Snoopy. Remove the Peanuts theming from the Wind-Up or replace it with another small flat ride with theming related to whatever the dark ride would be. I'm sure the one at KD might also be a part of their International Street for this reason, though I'm not as certain.  I understand keeping it there so that whoever owns the Peanuts brand remains happy, but the area seems to pretty much fully be a part of Planet Snoopy. Either move the boundary of the land or redo it and make it a part of Planet Snoopy.  IMO the reason why the park should bring back the covered walkway between International Street and Rivertown is because then they could fully cut off access to Planet/Camp Snoopy during Halloween Haunt. Most of the pathway for it still exists, the issue is where the large chiller unit and rear access are located for Planet Snoopy Grill. The shaded area would be a good bonus as well. Movable planter walls or smaller permanent gates would block access to the area. That would also look much better than the rinky dink fences or string they tie across the vast expanses of pathway. I remember when they used to put the scrim curtain walls up along the route of Woodstock Whirlybirds. That seems like it would be just as easy to put across as the rope or the fences.  Kings Dominion has gates (for what, I don't know) that can block access from International Street to Old Virginia and the Central Walkway. I believe there may also be two more going toward Planet Snoopy and Dominator, respectively.  Funnily enough, both the BBoBH at Carowinds and at KD were once theaters as well. Carowinds' was the original Harmony Hall, while Kings Dominion's was an indoor theater in the Lion County Safari. The latter only uses the back portion of said building where the stage/backstage would have been. The front area is now part of a restaurant/bar. The big difference is that the buildings were still just smaller than the behemoth that originally housed the Enchanted Voyage. 

Trademark it before they steal that from you too

I’m looking forward to experiencing the new Summer Wine’d Down Festival at Holiday World. And yes, they have Tasting Passes!  https://themeparksbydon.com/holiday-world-announces-menu-for-summer-wined-down-festival/
