29yrswithaGApass Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I would imagine the installation of lights on the parachute ride was one of the larger expenses of setting up Holiday in the Park. Although I hate to see the big tree go, it is good that the ride will be open during the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coliwood_studios Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Boy, its sure gonna be cold up there but a great view depending on where you sit. The more rides open , the better to absorb the crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbone112499 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Interesting seeing the move of Joy to the World to the back half of the Lakefront. Although it seems like they'll be tight on space if they're working with the area between Buccaneer and Jolly Roger. To me it would've made a little more sense to keep the Joy to the World path near Metropolis or along the Lady of the Lake Cemetery area.

joeyc98 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Every year of Holiday in the Park just keeps getting better and better as each new ride or attraction addition seems to be in the part of the park that stays open. Just think, we'll have Wonder Woman next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 The Cirque show sounds like it will be cool. I also like how they are promoting more rides will be open. It's nice almost all the major rides are open compared to holiday events at other parks where only a handful of rides are running or only a few coasters.

The only difference I can spot is that the Parachute Tower won't be lit up this year and actually plans on running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Still a lot of snow where I am. Guessing it will be a slushy mess at the park this weekend. Especially bad since there are still leaves to make it even more slippery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 $4 is less than what I would have thought the maze would cost. I was expecting around $6 - $8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
