A new trademark was filed back in May for something called "Stars, Lights, & Christmas Nights" I'd assume it's for the new Plaza area, as I can't see them getting rid of the "An Old Time Christmas" name. Nothing exciting, just thought it'd be interesting to share while we're in a lull news-wise.

Any park where I feel there is a distinct, well—-theme, or "thesis statement." I would agree with all your parks and how you classified them. Any park with a hodgepodge of rides or attractions without a central through line or concept behind them I would classify as an amusement park.

I'm curious how you all define the difference between a theme park and an amusement park?

What all would you consider theme parks in the US?

Obviously Disney, universal, SDC, and dolly wood are all theme parks.
I think holiday world is another clear theme park as well as Hershey park.

I don't think any six flags park(including cedar fair properties) would count as a theme park in my mind.

^ If nothing or little why would they go to the trouble of having a FanFest?

Sounds like the PTB wanted their own version of D23 which is what this supposedly is.

I'm also guessing we'll see interior details of the resort and maybe some additional information about it.
I know interior renderings have been shown at a few speaking engagements, but they haven't been shared very publicly yet.

Oh, they'll have some interesting things to share if they are setting up a whole event. I'm guessing they'll be providing a sneak peak into the plans for the coming years. Probably going to pre-announce something big coming while also showing off all the festival changes/additions, minor new things, etc.

They may also announce that a ride is leaving in the near future. I don't think we'll see another FITH-style exact replacement, but rides like TNT, FM, and AP are clinging to life and don't seem to fit what corporate wants for the park anymore. Like I've said before, I expect them to continue replacing things with fancier modern versions. They may announce that 2026 is the last season for one of those rides. Just my guess.

Maybe we will get some info on September 27.

I'm betting nothing or a vague more things coming soon for this project.

Probably will be mostly about the resort and season passes for next year, maybe a new show.

I actually agree with this. That announcement is pretty underwhelming. Usually they hype up their new rides but this fanfest has blah written all over it. Hopefully I'm wrong though.
