PIDGEON FORGE, TN

​One of the first signs of spring is the construction tour at Dollywood, and today was that day. Media were invited to spend the afternoon getting a sneak peek ahead of the Pigeon Forge theme park’s 37th season.
The new season gets underway for passholders on Friday, March 11, while the doors open to the general public on Saturday, March 12. To welcome those crowds, Dollywood needs to hire a few hundred people. A Dollywood job fair is scheduled Feb. 26 at Sevier County High School. Dollywood’s housing project for seasonal workers that broke ground on Aug. 12 is full, the company said earlier this year.

SANTA CLAUS, IN

​A swarm of 300 LED-lit drones will take to the skies over Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari every night for a new show called "Holidays in the Sky," from June 18 through July 31. The 15-minute show will celebrate Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, and the Fourth of July and will conclude with a fireworks finale.
"This is an experience you truly have to see to believe," says Fourth Generation Owner and Director of Entertainment & Special Events Lauren Crosby. "When the drones first take flight and the lights start to turn into a rotating Christmas tree or a waving American flag--it's indescribable."
"Holidays in the Sky,” sponsored by German American Bank, will be themed to the holiday sections of Holiday World and will feature animated light displays up to 700 feet wide. Leading up to the drone show, guests can join a DJ-led dance party in the German American Bank Party Plaza, in the Thanksgiving section.

VALENCIA, CA

​Six Flags Magic Mountain is only big enough for one Wonder Woman ride and that means a spinning thrill ride named for the comic book superheroine will get a new moniker to avoid confusion with a new roller coaster coming this summer to the Valencia amusement park.
The imminent arrival of the new Wonder Woman Flight of Courage roller coaster will force Magic Mountain to come up with another DC Comics superhero name for the old Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth spinning thrill ride.

TAMPA BAY, FL

​The nation’s most anticipated and terrifying new roller coaster is finally making its debut this week at Busch Gardens Tampa. The Post got an exclusive first look and ride on the 206-foot beast known as the Iron Gwazi.
So how was it? In a word (uttered in a full-throated scream): YEEEEE-AHHHHH! It is among the best — if not the best — coaster in Florida, aka the theme park capital of the world. It is also unlike any other coaster in the state.
Known as an “IBox” wooden-steel hybrid coaster, the ride is actually a makeover. Opened in 1999, it was originally known as Gwazi.

FARMINGTON, UT

The mysterious ride taking shape at Lagoon is looking more and more like a roller coaster of some sort.
A recent photo provided to the Standard-Examiner shows a green section of track rising up to the top of the main body of the ride, with another track extension poking out of the mass.
Whatever the case, a rep from the Farmington amusement park isn’t saying much, as has been the case all along as the ride has slowly materialized — all the better to heighten curiosity and build anticipation.
“We usually don’t announce things until we’re ready to bring them online,” said Adam Leishman, a Lagoon spokesman. “Part of it is we like having surprises for people.”
