    Howl-O-Scream 2020

    Some platinum pass members are not too happy about not getting their usual free first night/weekend.

    SeaWorld's Flicks & Fireworks

    Actually, they've been getting 20% off since it started. They now get 30% off.

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg

    Keep in mind though, the event is catered to locals. The event is four hours per time slot each day: 11am-3pm & 5pm-9pm (outside of the already sold out membership event). I've confirmed with the park that they will close at 3pm to allow the park to clear out and reset for the event, and reopen...

    SeaWorld's Flicks & Fireworks

    Well, in terms of the fireworks, the park is open til 9 on Friday and Saturday, so park guests also get the fireworks (just like last weekend, in fact, it's the same show those 2 nights). It's just Sunday when the fireworks will just be for those coming to the event (since the park closes at 6...

    SeaWorld Orlando's Future Plans

    No need to make a whole new thread for this, but Electric Ocean for 2020 has been cancelled by the park (and removed from the Events page). No big surprise, honestly. They've barely had time to take down everything from Seven Seas and never started on the setup for Electric Ocean, which could...

    Iron Gwazi (General Discussion)

    The human riders were RMC employees to my knowledge. That's very common for them since they literally build their own rides. It's not like most other manufacturers who have the parks bid out for a contractor to erect it that are not directly employed by them.

    Iron Gwazi (General Discussion)

    They have sporadically been testing the rides while the park has been closed. They were testing Falcon's Fury the other day, and I've seen videos of Montu, Cobra's Curse and Kumba testing over the last several weeks as well in various theme park groups on Facebook. In order to get Iron Gwazi...

    Ice Breaker (SWO)

    I need them to correct their description, though. It's not a shuttle coaster.

    There hasn't been any word on BGT yet, as it's in a different county.

    SeaWorld Orlando's Future Plans

    You've obviously never run into the "Boring and Mundane" crowd who loathe them and call them all forceless and a waste.

    Ice Breaker (SWO)

    Ice Breaker had not yet been turned over to the park. All contractors working for Premier Rides were sent home before the park closed down (some to Germany). If anything is cycling, it's not Ice Breaker. The only contractors working until recently were local ones doing landscape/building...

    What's next for Busch Gardens Tampa??

    It's been almost 2 years. First I can remember it being closed was Spring Break 2018 when I went to see Boyz II Men during Food & Wine.

    SeaWorld / Aquatica San Antonio

    It's between Bayside Stadium and Journey To Atlantis along the lake (so, sort of). It's a roughly 3-acre space. Seems kind of big for a Screamin' Swing, but it's still early in the rumor stage.

    SeaWorld Orlando's Future Plans

    ^The last highly visible place the Shamu name was in the park was removed this week: the Shamu Stadium sign (it was gone yesterday). Just the fountain remains. Someone in the SW Passholder group on FB posted it. (Pic taken by Becky Pearson on FB)

    SeaWorld Orlando's Future Plans

    Ice Breaker was needed. There was literally only one coaster anyone under 54" could ride: Super Grover's Box Car Derby. And, yes, Journey To Atlantis is a coaster, but most people outside of enthusiasts just see it like a log flume and not everyone wants to get wet. They desperately needed...

    2020 Seven Seas Food Festival

    Billy Ray Cyrus has pulled out of his concert date in May. Refunds have already been offered to those who purchased reserved seating.

    SeaWorld Orlando's Future Plans

    I've confirmed with several people who have been at the park this weekend that they are not using the "Bayside path" for the Seven Seas Food Festival as normal, just the stadium for the concerts. The food booths are spread out around the rest of the park. I think this pretty much confirms...
