Universal is being highly aggressive in Orlando. Epic Universe looks to be, well, epic.

Whats for sure is a 10 day New England foilage drive the last week of Sept/first week of Oct. Got the flight and rooms booked for that already.
While it would be logistically tricky being in the center part of the park, I could see them doing a Mystery Mine clone or Baron 1898 type ride integrating land from the Train Station, Flooded Mine, and the Waterboggan Tower, its just a question of what else adjacent to the area would also be taken out, if so.
It would be nice if SDC would again invest in things like interactive theming an immersive pre-show elements with their new attractions. Its one thing I am still skeptical they will carry over with FITH 2.0.

Universal Announced a new park in Frisco Texas. It’s supposed to be smaller than their main parks and focused on kids/families. I’m pretty excited about that being a half day drive away. Not much substance yet on what it will contain.

I've been doing a lot less amusement parks lately as well, but I still try and hit them up when the opportunity is easy. I ended up at Six Flags America last year when I was doing a DC trip. Not to hard to get there since the metro from DC gets you close and then it's just a short Uber.
This year I am playing it by ear, but I want to see NYC/Coney Island, LA/SFMM, and maybe Pittsburg/Kennywood if I can swing it. I may try to drive up north and see that new park in Iowa if my car can stand the trip.
We've been there with wind chills around -30. There were about 1000 visitors in the park. I was told they wouldn't close early as long as there were guests on park. They will close with winter weather moving in. The last half of December is supposed to be well below normal temps so I would think lighter crowds.
