Yesterday, Kings Dominion announced the return of in park Live Entertainment (while they had some, it lacked). Today, 2 parks have Holiday In The Park returning. If you got to talk with the new CEO and he asked what you'd like to see come back to KI, what are your top 3 choices? Ideally, you're responses would be realistic and "easily" attainable and most likely not a major attraction.

Things don't look good for this park. Will it return in 2027? I wonder how the other IB Parks are doing. https://www.wnypapers.com/news/article/current/2026/04/30/165970/niagara-amusement-park-wont-open-for-2026-season

As it is now and when Winterfest returned, as Winterfest Way (with the blow molds and that animated tree) was/is the best.

I will continue to say that the merchandise is priced too high....I'd venture to say, they'd sell even more if the prices were brought down. Do I buy a $48 shirt (spitballing atm) or do I buy a snack at Sweetspot for much less?

It is jazz....but it's the Phineas and Ferb theme song.

@brenthodge thank you for sharing those links...not sure why I didn't see them, as I follow the page. But, love the updates that they are doing to this ride!

Worlds of Fun announced that Timberwolf is returning this year and not as an RMC. Wondering if this is part of the Enchanted Parks deal (maybe RMC contract cancelled by Six?) but also an agreement with Enchanted to have it ready to be operated?

For some reason, it feels as if the events list is smaller than years past....maybe not. None of these events give me a reason to visit the park. Grand Carnivale is stale, Star Spangled Nights seems like a pretty standard celebration (I'll be at CP likely anyway) and Food/Wine Fest isn't worth the $ for me especially if there isn't a tasting card.

I like how Jana took stake in October. It’s been 6 months. Over the time the organization isn’t really in business (parks operating), the CEO officially stepped down, and multiple other things have happened since then, so of course things are a bit dysfunctional. I mean I don’t think the ship is going in the right direction, but the captain needs to be able to steer it to put it on the right course.

Didn’t Zamperla classify these type of rides as a coaster? I remember seeing it listed at some point under roller coasters. Could this be an alignment between the manufacturer and parks?

I just hope they add more ride vehicles.

Mulch likely?

I'm not positive if this includes the Busch Gardens parks, since technically they are all under the United Parks front and they do have Sesame Street themed rides/attractions.
