Posting this here since it feels more relevant, but the recent prop put out on display is confirmed to be one of the interactive lantern points. Definitely doesn’t rule out this being a clue for something, but is definitely an explanation for why it’s out this year.
Oh yes, I could just see me in there with a Winterfest Wand going after the roamers like some sort of Sorcerer, "BE GONE EVIL ROAMING CLOWN, AND ALLOWEST ME TO ENJOY MY GLORIOUS FOGGY NIGHT RIDES IN PEACE!"
On that note, does anyone have a Winterfest Wand for sale?
I didn't see the announcement live but I read about it from various FB friends and BGW pages I follow. That will give me at least 5 new coaster credits on my VA trip next year (2 at KD and now 3 at BGW - possibly even 4 if I make it over to the kids' area and grab the Grover coaster credit). I really wish BGW were closer.
Joke's on us! Now that SIX is the other half of the company, they are going to pull out a page from the ol'playbook from their SFWoA days and put in TWO major installments in the same year! One in The Vortex plot and one in the SoB station!!! ( hard sarcasm here )
Likely just a new attraction for the water park. I know some slides were removed earlier this year. If I remember correctly the last time something was added to the water park was when it was renamed in 2016 or 2017?
I would expect they are similar to the winterfest wands from last year. Would make sense to maybe even re-use the same location tags that are used for winterfest. If anyone has a winterfest wand, might be worth taking it to see if it reacts during Haunt.
