What is your favorite Holiday in the park?

Mine is the one at Conneaut Lake Park. It always have good preformers, A nice Sliegh ride, and good food.

 

It might get better next year because I am going to suggest a holiday themed train ride.

 

Anyway whats yours?

Not counting WDW, Hersheypark's Christmas Candylane. It's nice to have the park open so late into the year even if no coasters are open.

I think I will do something different to TPR.

 

I have only been to one park for the Holidays and since I have nothing to compare it to, I am not going to mention any park as best for the Holidays.

SDC hands down.

 

I agree.

 

Yeah, the only park that can compare to SDC is DW. I don't know which is better however, as I've only been to SDC. Anyone been to both at christmas time? SDC puts on an amazing display at christmas either way.

well, ive only done 2 holiday-themed events, both halloween, one at Chessington and the other at Thorpe Park.

 

Chessington was a bit iffy, purely because of the weather (rain, rain, break, rainn rain and rain!) plus there wasnt much in the way of halloween, more Star Wars than anything, although they did try to get compressed smoke coming out of the fountains instead of water, which was quite scary. it really made me jump!

 

on Rameses Revenge, they had a low-hanging fog machine at the top of the path, leading down to the station, where it would congruate on the loading ramps and sometimes on the ride itself.

 

the Vampire also had smoke, but it was rarely used and wasnt as effective.

 

we had Rameses Revenge singing 'Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!', which was awesome.

 

overall, very family-friendly and a great day out!!!

 

 

 

Thorpe Park goes for the more exteme halloween. special Fright-Nites music for pretty much everything, lights everywhere, scary actors, and even scarier mazes! We didnt get to do The Asylum due to extra long queues being placed out, but we did Hellgate twice, which was great fun, even my 7yr old sister loved it, even if she was panicking. She thought we were getting her on Colossus or Slammer, poor girl! We explained what would happen and she went along with it, screaming with fear and enjoyment everytime someone jumped out. My brother was set of on a screaming fit when an actor grabbed his foot from under a table right at the beginning. It even had me scared in places too! The funny part was, my brother came out shaking really badly and a supervisor came over and asked if we were ok (he was shaking alot!). we said he had a few scary encounters and the onlything she said was 'good' which was rather rude, but we laughed it off.

 

The Samurai and Colossus was amazing after dark. they both seemed to be much more intense and a lot faster...

 

 

overall, Thorpe Park wins, but do go to Chessington. its quite fun and you get a special halloween 'Trick-or-Shriek' bag, filled with pranks.

I"ve never been to a Christmas event at anypark, but I'm going to a Christmas fair 2 days after Christmas with Speed Loop (hey Zack and other people on the chat) so doies that count?

Well for everyone who likes Seuss Landing around Christmas you'll have to go elsewhere for decorations this year. So far this year the shops are decorated and there is Christmas music playing, there's no sign of anything more being done. Grinchmas is now "Meet the Grinch" with no show. So unless Universal is planning on setting up everything extremely late this year it's not happening. Weak.

wow, someone who knows that having only been to one event doesn't necessarily mean its the best

 

I've done Dollywood, IOA and Carowinds... Carowinds was fairly weak, IOA's Grinchmas was quirky and cool, but the more traditional celebration at Dollywood is tops in my book!
