SeaWorld Orlando spokeswoman Lori Cherry said the company doesn’t comment on pending litigation.
On July 27, 2016, a loudspeaker warned the ride was having technical and mechanical difficulties, the lawsuit said.

ORLANDO, FL

Universal Orlando will be making a major announcement on Aug. 1, and speculation is running rampant that it’s related to a new “Fantastic Worlds” theme park.
At 10 a.m. on Aug. 1, 2019, Universal Orlando will hold a press conference at the Orange County Convention Center that will “reveal major news about the Universal Orlando Resort.” While we haven’t confirmed what the subject of the announcement will be, the Convention Center is located near the large plot of land that Universal acquired in recent years. Construction of infrastructure on the property is already underway, and leaks from a presentation earlier this year indicate it will become home to a brand new theme park.

More than 600,000 people are expected to jam the Kentucky Exposition Center when the Kentucky State Fair begins in three weeks.
But this year, parking could be even more challenging than usual.
The issue revolves around a 2018 lawsuit filed by Kentucky Kingdom which accused the State Fair Board of breaking a parking agreement. The recent settlement of that suit now means more parking for the amusement park and a scramble to change parking patterns and event locations for the state fair.

Which rides would most improve their park by going away?

7/25/2019

With Hersheypark's announcement of its 2020 hyper coaster this morning, many theme park fans no doubt are getting excited to hear more about what's coming to their favorite parks next year. But as readers have noted on our Discussion Board, not every park has room for seven-acre new developments. Sometimes, parks have to remove attractions to make room for new ones.

Of course, this isn't always a bad thing. As much as some parks — and fans — might hate to admit it, some attractions just didn't work... or their time has passed. It's rare that an old attraction is so bad that its removal by itself improves a park. But many attractions are taking space that better could be used by a fresh experience.
Which attractions are the leading candidates for this type of addition by subtraction? Which attractions would create the most value for their parks not by continuing to operate but by going away and making space for something new?

The final clue is in.
In a lightning-filled video on social media, Busch Gardens Williamsburg released its final clue about the identity of a new roller coaster Tuesday, several weeks after the park first released a video identifying July 30 as the official coaster reveal date.
Here’s the clue: “Ascend to the epic crescendo and come face-to-face with Jupiter, the King of all Roman gods. #MMXX.”
The other clues have revolved around other Roman gods, including Pluto, Mercury, Neptune and Minerva.
