HOLLYWOOD, CA

Each year dozens of celebrities flock to Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights for a good scare. They’re just like the rest of us as they scream through the mazes, mingle with the monsters and take in all the tricks and treats of the haunting season.
Musicians such as Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, DJ and producer Diplo, singers Bebe Rexha, Dua Lipa, Iggy Azalea and rapper Kendrick Lamar as well as sports figures like Lakers player Lonzo Ball and fighter Chuck Liddell and actors including Jamie Foxx, Adam DeVine, Abigail Breslin, Mandy Moore and Ashley Tisdale, all like to stop and pose for a quick photo with the horrifying creatures lurking within the theme park when they pop by for a visit.

Six years after Sandy, a rising tide of development puts Coney Island at risk

BROOKLYN, NY

Stand on Surf Avenue and there’s little evidence that in October 2012, a nearly 14-foot storm tide broke across the Coney Island boardwalk, merging with water from Gravesend Bay and Coney Island Creek, and violently surged across the fragile peninsula from all three sides. Hurricane Sandy’s life-threatening storm sent cars floating down dark, flooded streets and left thousands of residents without light, water, or heat. It left others marooned on upper floors of apartment houses and public housing towers in the neighborhood’s West End. In neighborhoods as close as Bensonhurst, it was business as usual, almost as though there’d been no hurricane. But in Coney Island in the hours and days after, people resorted to eating food tainted by sea water and collected water from hydrants, as sinkholes big enough to crawl through opened from one end of the block to the other.

Six years after the storm killed 43 New Yorkers, and caused $19 billion worth of damage to the city, the boardwalk attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists to its glittering amusement park featuring log flumes, roller coasters, and high-end restaurants. But for residents of the area, it’s a different story. The still-glacial pace of repair in Coney Island has meant many New York City Housing Authority buildings are still in bad shape, while some residents are only now moving back to homes rebuilt by a troubled federally funded reconstruction program. It’s the gleaming mixed-use buildings full of market rate apartments breaking ground on Surf Avenue, and others rising near Sea Gate at Coney’s western tip, that alarm advocates, city planners and locals. They say Coney’s dramatic building boom, triggered by a Bloomberg-era 2009 rezoning, but slowed by Sandy recovery, suggests a dangerous amnesia about how the storm devastated Coney. And a denial about the threat that rising seas and bigger, more dangerous storms caused by climate change pose to this former barrier island.

ORLANDO, FL

In October 2021, Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida will be turning 50! And apparently, the iconic theme park will be doing something special to celebrate this massive anniversary as they prepare to open new rides, attractions, restaurants and resorts in anticipation of the big birthday.
There are dozens and dozens of new projects happening at Disney World pretty much all the time, but few will have the impact of these 10 massive changes and additions. New meet-and-greets, photo opportunities, dining experiences and snacks roll out with little-to-no fanfare. But a project like Disney’s new transportation system the Skyliner and the new Star Wars-themed land in Hollywood Studios are going to change the entire theme park world, even beyond Disney.
New resorts, lands and rides are just a few big changes happening at Walt Disney World. Here are 10 ways this favorite theme park will be a whole new world by 2021.

Incredible AstroWorld Memorabilia Possibly Coming Up for Sale

HOUSTIN, TX

When AstroWorld closed down in 2006 to the dismay of all Houstonians, Maria Mendeles bought up a ton (literally) of fixtures and merchandise from the theme park. For years it’s sat in various warehouses, but it looks like the Emiliano’s owner might actually be looking to sell off some of the iconic items that so many of us remember from childhood.
​
I was contacted by Benjamin Rosales, who is trying to partner with Ken Spicer, a local auctioneer, to bring these items to public sale. Spicer told us that he hoped to have them available either for an in-person or online bidding by mid-November.

BUENA PARK, CA

Knott's Berry Farm usually wastes no time in promoting its next big addition after it opens a new attraction. But following last spring's debut of HangTime, we heard nothing from the park about a new ride or show.
The rumor mill has been suggesting that Knott's would hold off on a 2019 addition in favor of a much bigger-than-normal debut for 2020. Whatever the plan, Knott's decided to fuel fans' curiosity with a Tweet this afternoon, one that teases a "great discovery" for 2019.
