As a local that basically grew up in this park every season throughout the years this is incredibly disheartening to hear. I still remember when Flight Deck was Top Gun and we had Invertigo, doing the Goldstriker promoshoot, etc /sigh). Especially after the massive expansion plans were announced and them dumping a bunch of money on the waterpark. Although I suppose the writing has been on the wall for years and dumping haunt was another huge red flag. That being said there's a video floating around the internet of the Santa Clara mayor saying the city had NO idea this sale was happening and the city council is extremely upset about it for multiple reasons (youth summer jobs, culture for the area, etc). She even mentioned that as of right now the land is staying zoned for theme park use, so it'll be interesting to see if anything comes out of the city's talks with both CF and Prologis. At the end of the day money talks and if Prologis can prove their new development will provide more jobs, greater economic impact for the city, etc they'll probably give in and re-zone the land. It's all still pretty up in the air at the moment though. (Not sure if I'm allowed to be linking videos or not but it's here:)

Looks like the rumors were true, CGA is scrapping haunt for this year for a more family friendly "tricks and treats" event. Was announced via their instagram. https://www.cagreatamerica.com/events/tricks-and-treats As a local this is a bummer especially since parts of Shadowlands were spotted at the park not too long ago. Hopefully they'll bring back Haunt down the road but who knows. Will be interesting to see if other parks in the chain follow suit.
