Herschend Family Entertainment has announced that they have signed a terms sheet to acquire Silverwood and Boulder Beach. Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation (“Herschend”), the world’s largest family-held themed attractions company, and Silverwood, Inc., owner of Silverwood Theme Park (“Silverwood”), have signed an exclusive term sheet for Herschend to acquire Silverwood. Silverwood, a beloved family-owned theme and water park in Athol, ID, has been operated by the Norton family for more than 35 years. This partnership marks a new chapter for Silverwood, as it joins Herschend’s portfolio of family brands, while continuing its tradition of delivering memorable experiences to guests of all ages. Founded in 1988 by Gary Norton and operated by his family for three generations, Silverwood has grown into one of the most successful independently owned parks in the U.S., attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year to its 400-acre site. The park is home to more than 70 rides and attractions, including Boulder Beach Water Park. “Silverwood has been our family’s life’s work for more than three decades,” said Paul Norton, Silverwood’s Chief Operating Officer. “When the time came to pass the torch, Herschend was the only choice. They share our values, our long-term approach, and our belief that parks like this are built by people with heart.” Herschend operates more than 40 family entertainment brands across North America, iconic destinations such as Dollywood Parks & Resorts, Silver Dollar City Parks & Resorts, the Harlem Globetrotters and recently acquired properties such as Kennywood, Adventureland, and Lake Compounce, continuing its mission to bring families closer together by creating memories worth repeating. “This is more than a business transaction—it’s the continuation of a legacy,” said Andrew Wexler, CEO of Herschend. “We are honored that the Norton family has trusted us to carry their vision forward and excited to welcome the Silverwood hosts and guests to Herschend.” The parties have begun the due diligence process and are working toward finalizing the transaction. -

According to their calendar, they only celebrate Holidays at Legoland on the every Saturday in December as well as Dec 24-31st. I imagine the park will still be decorated. I would suggest calling them: For questions related to the LEGOLAND Florida Theme Park, Water Park, or SEA LIFE Florida, please call: 877-350-5346 -
Lotte World have added 3 new rides to the park: A children only mini-viking, a mini drop tower (Looks like a frog hopper, but the park already has one of those) and a spinning ride from Sunkid. The park has also added a single-rider line to the park but sadly it's only for the children's coaster and not the big Mack rides. -

We will be near the Tampa area between 12/01 and 12/04. Does anyone know if Legoland will be decorated for Christmas and what we could expect if we'd go to Legoland? It looks like they have special days for Christmas on a few Saturdays, but what is there for Christmas during the week? -

🔥SPICY HOT TAKE INCOMING🔥 Georgia Scorcher needs a floorless conversion, because that layout absolutely RIPS and it would become a headliner if it were just more comfortable. -

The park is almost ready to be open for Six Flags to finally bring a park to the Middle East after nearly 25 years in the making and after two failed previous attempts (Dubai/Dubailand, UAE and Lusail, Qatar). -

The opening dates hasn't been revealed yet. But is it expected to be by December 31st, 2025 (New Year's Eve). -
Unfortunately no, I heard possibly not until December. One of the trains is taken apart right outside the work area under the brake run. I also forgot to mention that they are temporarily having everyone go through the Quick Queue entrance and then there is someone there directing people back to the main line if they don't have Quick Queue with the first part of the main queue closed off to have more lockers installed. -
