The name is the only surprise, everyone was thinking it would be Polaris, but to my pleasant surprise they went with a name I liked better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, our tremendously successful Grand Carnivale will turn midways into evening street parties at two additional parks in 2020, while Monster Jam Thunder Alley will fire up its engines at three different parks. Limited-duration special events like these, as well as our Haunt and WinterFest celebrations, inspire our guests to visit our parks multiple times each season and makes the decision to purchase a season pass much more compelling. The recent strength of our season pass program also sets the stage for the upcoming launch of PassPerksTM, our new season pass loyalty program, designed to encourage passholders to visit more often as well as provide rewards that promote higher renewal and retention rates,” said Zimmerman.
