Their Christmas Festival really is the best. Regarding the Hallelujah float: Even though I am not religious I do appreciate that they pay homage to the religious aspect of the holiday, but they do it somewhat subtly instead of beating you over the head. Having said that, the magician kind of went overboard on it this year, one of his 'tricks' was reading a Christian story off the back of some playing cards, which he then proceeded to make a sales pitch for. Kind of rubbed me a little wrong but what can you do.
Possibly stalkerish question but is not meant that way: Does anyone know the name of a Thunderation ride op: the older gentleman with the white mustache & goatee? Occasionally dances on the ride platform? I ask because my 9 year old daughter is a fan of his, especially when he's on ride announcement, nobody else pronounces Thunderation the way he does, and she wanted to send him a Christmas card. I suppose I could ask the park but again it feels like it might be a little weird of a question.
I think you might be reading too much into what I said. I spoke positively about how the park overall handles it, and it's one of the things I really like about the park in general. Much of society could be improved by following their example. I just thought the magician's proselytizing coupled with a money grab didn't fit the tone of what the overall park is going for.
