Theme Parks First. Everything Else Next.
This article contains a series of predictions for the D23 Parks, Experiences and Products panel, focusing on U.S. Disney parks. Predictions include a revamp of the Disney Genie, the possible return of ‘Happily Ever After’, the launch of Tron, a re-opening schedule for Walt Disney World Railroad, and many potential updates, re-themes, and overhauls across various parks. Additional “wild card” predictions are also given, speculating on larger changes and new attractions.
Andrew and Brandon Krivsky spent Labor Day Weekend at Kings Island theme park. Despite rain and crowd expectations, they encountered minimal wait times. They rode the re-tracked wooden roller coaster, Beast, and the new Giga Coaster, Orion. After eating at Panda Express, they rode Bat and took shelter in a Starbucks during a storm. Afterwards, they rode Mystic Timbers, Backlot Stunt Coaster, and Adventure Express. Their visit lasted 6 hours.
In 2022, theme parks worldwide will introduce new attractions. Hong Kong Disneyland in China will debut a family coaster “Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs” in its Frozen-themed area. Italy’s Gardaland will feature a ride based on the Jumanji franchise. Australia’s Seaworld will offer the wooden roller coaster “Leviathan”. Dubai Hills Mall in the UAE will open the mysterious “Storm”, claimed as the largest indoor roller coaster. Lastly, Walt Disney Studios Park in France will introduce a Marvel-themed roller coaster.
Andrew Krivsky identifies the must-visit theme parks around the world for roller coaster enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies. These include Five Six Flags Magic Mountain, known for the highest number of roller coasters; Europa Park, a massive theme park in Germany; Disneyland, famous for its historical significance; Cedar Point, catering to thrill-seekers; Phantasialand, celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail; and Tokyo DisneySea, renowned for being the most immersive theme park in the world.
Lists have always been an integral part of Limitless Park. Who doesn’t love counting things down? That said, we haven’t written one since the beginning of 2021. To make up for this, we’re starting a new series called “12 Days of Listmas.” I’m sure something similar has been done before–I might even be stealing the “Listmas” name, but I don’t feel like checking–but this is a first for Limitless Park. For 12 days (December 13 – 24) we’ll be bringing you a brand new theme park related list, ranging anywhere from our favorite roller coasters to the different levels of “bad Six Flags food.” We’re getting creative with that last one.
Walt Disney World will replace its traditional “Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party” with a new event, “Disney After Hours BOO BASH”. Scheduled on select nights from August 10 to October 31, the event features Halloween-themed activities, costumes, and over 20 attractions with lower wait times. A separate ticket, available for purchase in June, is required for admission.
