Not a chance in hell any large county in CA will make it to the yellow tier by May, but it’s also not feasible to have no idea when you can open and expect to open in a timely manner: hiring, training, inventory, etc. all take time.

The park also had a dolphin show where what is now the justice league ride. The bleachers were re-purposed for the stunt shows.

^ Very nice. And what's that one in the bottom left corner? With the coaster, the ferris wheel and the train going around on it?
Mirabilandia.

I feel like the myth of the Chaos is so much more hyped than reality since the rides are rarely open from tearing themselves apart. It’s an OK flat ride...much better flats out there.

I like the multi-day tickets but they need to fix the 14-day expiration from first use. The tickets need to be good for use during the entire calendar year, so I can catch a couple of seasons.
They could also do something like their timeshare program where you just get a certain amount of points every payment and you can decide what days to spend your points on. This would allow the same pass to be used during peak days but you would need to spend more points on a ticket that day.
I’m sure That’s what will happen. You’ll buy a “membership” that allows a certain number of visits within your year period, with blackouts and Total number of visits being determined by your tier.

Disneyland is going membership at some point whatever that means:
From the article:
...
A new Disneyland membership program will be unveiled at a later date — presumably after Disneyland and Disney California Adventure reopen.
“Due to the continued uncertainty of the pandemic and limitations around the reopening of our California theme parks, we will be issuing appropriate refunds for eligible Disneyland resort Annual Passports and sunsetting the current program,” Disneyland resort president Ken Potrock said in a statement. “We are currently developing new membership offerings that will utilize consumer insights to deliver choice, flexibility and value for our biggest fans.”
I’m sure it means that instead of an annual pass you will basically be buying supersized multi day tickets. My guess is they’ll offer eventually offer park hopper (but only allow single park visits to start until covid capacity restrictions are removed), Disneyland only, or DCA only options and your tier will be just how many days available you have total to use. Reservations system was already created with the flex pass, so foundation for this was already being built. I have no doubt This was happening regardless, but the pandemic was the window to speed it up.
I bet they’ll still offer a premium option that functions as the old one did...for a lot more money and no monthly payment option. Make it a truly high end option. -
It appears they are using the underground as a showcase area. The night I went their EMT department was featured. Had their ambulance and some other vehicles parked out there with EMT staff waving. Since it was SFMM, I wasn’t sure if it was a real emergency or not.

I'm a Six Flags pass holder I want to do the Holiday in the Park drive through. Online it lets me reserve a time by myself and although they request at least two people per car it didn't specify it was required. Does anyone know who either works for the park or has experienced the drive through, will I be turned away if I show up with a reservation by myself or will they let me drive through by myself? I want to make sure I don't get turned away before I drive all the way down there. I'm excited about driving my own car through Magic Mountain.
You can go by yourself. I did that last night. I’m sure they suggest more people so they can guilt you into taking a friend without a pass to fork over $25 or $30 bucks.
You’re really just paying for the unique opportunity to drive through the park with some employees in costume waving at you, since it’s just primarily the normal holiday in the park lights package. Magic deserves credit for doing something and putting people back to work, but do not going in expecting something amazing if you have already seen the holiday in the park lighting.

We don’t need to beat a dead horse on the COVID situation in CA.
let’s give props to Knotts for staying open for shopping for the vendors and making some of the popular food items available to go!

Perfect for Myrtle Beach and even better that it’s actually next to the beach unlike Hard Rock Park

People didn’t understand that you were Snow White in the story to begin with.

I am not the least bit worried about anything because it’s Japan. People will be polite and respectful, they will have plenty of staff...
the stateside versions will definitely need some changes to survive our guests. Especially the location at USH...lower lot doesn’t have anywhere to put people to wait to begin with...

Toughest mask mandates in the country for months and months. When will masks start working?
Not to derail this thread any further, but a huge part of the problem is there not anything actually tough about them. They exist, and some businesses (like Knotts when they were open for all their food festivals) do great at enforcement, many others don’t.
The Southern California region on its own has a population that is larger than all but the state of Texas. The odds of being able to contain a virus in the region are zero given that millions of those people work “essential” jobs and there are probably another million who still believe it’s a hoax.
Masks help and we respect all park rules here. End of story.
That being said, it is absolutely fair to criticize how our Governor has put all businesses at a huge disadvantage by rewriting the guidelines a few times with no prior input. Changing from tiers, to colors, and now to a regional system without notice makes it almost impossible for any park to invest in trying to create new experiences like Knotts had done with the “taste” events.

About the only thing I can count on is Orlando sometime next year.
The Midwest is on my radar as a US road trip if international travel is still crappy.
internationally Japan is priority number 1, with the UK and China not far behind.

Do we have any good guesses at when the park may reopen? Is it going to take the country being vaccinated or might it only take just some people? In my head im hoping the park opens in april but maybe im being too optimistic. I have not been in YEARS (its my home park) and im missing it more than ever right now.
If Newsom keeps theme parks in the yellow tier, which is under 1 case per 100k people and under 2% positivity rate...in theory, that may never happen unless vaccines are mandated. Too many dummies won’t get the vaccine, so the virus will continue to spread amongst them. LA county is too large to expect the numbers to drop down that low.
If he wises up or parks sue and move theme parks to orange tier...probably next summer.

^Everything new that has been built as a part of this expansion carries the Jurassic World styling in color scheme, logos and architecture. The new Raptor Encounter location ties into the Jurassic World style of the new coaster, while the rest of the land remains themed to Jurassic Park.
Technically the blend of themes fits since Jurassic World took place on Isla Nublar. But I agree that eventually they’ll change the whole island.

^ Great looking ongoing collection, Joey! And is that a TOMICA TDS Soarin' ride vehicle there, on a shelf? Or not? It looks very nice.
Not tomica, but they had a toyset that features the ride vehicles plus Mickey, Minnie, and Donald in aviator costumes: I bought the whole set just for the ride vehicle
-
Those are great!
Ive recently added the McDonald’s happy meal toys and the newest tomica ride vehicles from Tokyo to my collection, in addition to finally starting to unpack my funko collection. Still waiting on a bunch of funkos to be delivered (65th anniversary, Walt with castle, mansion stretching portraits, mansion maid...)

Without a doubt, someone (presumably the ride broker) was able to provide some sort of engineering report on the ride before it was sold. It’s also safe to assume that Indiana Beach is aware of the estimated costs to properly refurbish it.
That being said, we can only hope that report was extensive and accurate given the park it came from. I don’t think it is a stretch to think that there might be issues with the accuracy of any documentation provided by the now former operators of the park...
-
MLB started hosting games in Mexico and took over the minor league baseball organization, so it’s entirely possible this site has already been slated for a future minor or major league team in the next 10 years...
-
I am curious to know just how much extra investment will be needed to get the ride up to ASTM standards...going to guess the neglect didn’t end with the trains.
-
Going to guess that the ride probably needed A LOT of work to actually stay operational, which is money no one likely wanted to spend...

The shinpads on premier trains are designed for inversions, so the comfort collars are pointless.
