Plus they didn't have cell phones to kill the time in the lines amd couldn't even go on the internet to complain about it lol

Ugh thats so annoying, speaking of the flume, apparently there was something with two of them crashing into each other today and people maybe getting hurt. Someone said that one came off the track and the one behind it went into it. Hopefully everyone is ok.

I'm really looking forward to riding this in 30 degree weather at holiday in the park.

It's been awhile since I've been on the log flume now but we use to just ask nicely if we could have our own log when they tried to group us and were always accommodated but it probably makes a difference though that we only ever go on the ride if there's no line which makes even less sense for them to group people. I agree with you though and hopefully this is the norm going forward forever now, it's just simply too cramped to be stuck with completely random people.

They should just file a charge back if they end up actually really doing exchanges only. That's some pretty bad customer service if that's what they really end up doing.

I knew about the Tooth Fairy and Bride of Frankenstein houses but I had no idea they had opened this at some point, it looks awesome. Did they let the Beetlejuice actors do their own thing and ad lib to guests like they do when you would pass them by in the street?

Ah damn that's probably gonna be an awesome house. I would absolutely love to go but it's highly unlikely I'll be able to make it down there for this. Really curious to see what the other houses will end up being, I'm expecting them to go all out with this being the 30th now and not having it last year.

I didn't get charged for January so looked into it more, I never get membership emails from Busch despite being subscribed and having the correct email address but apparently they sent this email out and since I kept my payments going the entire time I'm getting 12 free months. I do appreciate it from Busch since I haven't been able to attend during all this and highly doubt we'll be attending this year either so at least it feels like I'm not totally wasting money and still able to support the parks a bit but I really don't agree with them kicking in the free months now since it's not like anything has returned to remotely normal yet in terms of being able to visit the parks. I just wish parks would give an option of opting out, I'd opt out of 2021 and have my pass carry over to 2022. For example, I would have renewed my Universal Orlando passes with the discount for paying in full if it activated whenever I went again. They would have had my money and made some interest but instead I just let it expire and don't know when we'll be back down there at this point. I doubt I'll be renewing our Cedar Fair passes for the same reason. It is what it is.

My guess is they convert it to something Trolls related since Universal seems to promote them a lot or maybe that Sing stage show that's in the Japan park. I'd be more surprised if they don't replace it with something for younger kids to do. That kid's playground area just seems so outdated with Fievel and Woody Woodpecker and previously Barney when they have so many DreamWorks movies that are kid friendly and would definitely draw more attention than what's there now.

Might be an unpopular opinion with some of the don't change anything to old rides Disney fans but I think this is great that they are updating it. The last few times I went on it at both parks I thought it was a bit stale and boring simply cause it was the same thing for so many years. These new updates at least will give it a nice refresher and a reason to go back on it at some point. It's not like they are gutting the ride entirely.

This ride looks like it's going to be so much damn fun. So happy to have this locally.

Obviously depends on where your coming from but I've looked into flying to Newport News out of curiosity in the past cause of how close it was and the prices for tickets were always ridiculously high.

It's a live stage show based on the animated movie... https://www.usj.co.jp/web/en/us/attractions/sing-on-tour

It was definitely NY, Lego Masters was great, it got renewed for a second season and should be airing sometime soon.

Them sending out the train with one of those guy's legs not secured is certainly not a good look by any means. I'm not sure how dangerous that could possibly be but it's also very ironic/what are the odds that happened and they got that on video after having issues with everything else during the same day. Like hitting a mini lotto lol Also how does someone who is a roller coaster youtuber not wear something with a zipper pocket anywhere to hold some of their stuff? lol

Also if this all does really well maybe a few years down the line they will convert Curse of DarKastle into some sort of family friendly dark ride/shooting game, would be one of the best things to do to get out of the cold for a bit during the colder months of operation.

That's awesome that they are adding so many new animals, when I first saw the kangaroo picture I figured that was for Tampa. I wonder where they are going to put the enclosures for all of these. The year round operations are awesome, I just wish I lived closer to take more advantage of it, the park is just far enough for me that it makes it impossible to go down and back in the same day otherwise I'd be there way more often than our usual few weekends a year spent down there. I don't see myself making it down there this year but I really hope it goes well for them so I can attend in the future.

I mean, who wouldn't want to wait on line for the amazing new King Kong Parking Lot Mayhem attraction?

Ideal: Nickelodeon Universe at American Dream for a fair price Six Flags Great Adventure Halloween Horror nights in Orlando Busch Gardens Williamsburg for their food and wine festival Realistic: Nickelodeon Universe will probably raise their prices even more I don't plan on going to any parks at the moment, I've already decided on not renewing my Universal Orlando passes and I wouldn't have renewed my Cedar Fair passes in hindsight but I'm really happy I had dropped all the dining passes when I renewed for 2020 last year. I'm keeping our Busch/SeaWorld and Six Flags passes but that's mainly because I'm locked into cheaper prices than if we cancelled and then bought new ones in the future. I'm not buying dining passes for Six Flags for next year though and was able to get a refund for them for 2020 since we hadn't been to the parks at all.

I wish Universal was a little more creative with their renewals for their season passes. I have 2 premier passes expiring pretty soon and was originally going to renew them because of the 20% discount for paying in full to renew but that was before Covid hit. Since I'm unsure when I'm going to get back to the parks I can't justify renewing since there's a chance we might not use 7+ months of the pass or not go at all in 2021. If they gave me the option to still renew but the passes wouldn't actually activate again until we went to the parks I would renew. It seems like it would be a win-win for Universal and pass holders. They would get my money and revenue they aren't gonna get now and could collect interest on it for months and I get my 20% discount for renewing for whenever we return.

The water park looks amazing, great report! I'm actually way more interested in eventually going to the water park than the ride park but I fully admit I'm in the camp of these places are just way too expensive currently, with covid going on I unfortunately won't be going to any parks for a long time anyway but I'm hoping they eventually offer a somewhat reasonable priced season pass.

Everything looks great!

I'm so excited for this, that video looks great and I actually like the name. I do hope they put some animatronic raptors in though instead of all screens. Even a combination of a few animatronic raptors and others on screens would be fantastic.

Thanks for the report, I like the scarecrow stalk idea too, they must have received good reviews about the xmas tree hunt where they had different themed xmas trees around both parks and CityWalk and you received a free minion Xmas ornament if you got a stamp for every tree.

I missed this news until I got an email about making a reservation today for it, unfortunately I'm not a local so I couldn't attend even if I wanted to but I'm curious to watch some videos and read reports about how they are.
