Rock Band Live will hit Cedar Fair parks across the country this season. The concert style event will take place in various theaters in nearly ever park owned by the company. The show will feature elaborate costume designs, several live singers, and actors who will sing karaoke style to some of the best Rock Band tunes in this 30 minute show. The main band will feature several members each with their very own and distinct personalities. Some of these personalities include the “Mom” character, a groupie, a leader singer, guitarist, so on and so forth.
Audience members will be selected prior to the show and will go on stage for one final rock out before the ending of the concert extravaganza. Funland Blog has some really interesting concept renderings of the outfits that will be worn by the performers during the show. Be sure to check it out here.

To me, this certainly sounds like a nice little addition that may gain quite the audience. Rock Band is a familiar item and using it to market a new show sounds great. Certainly, I do not expect this entertainment offering to be a showstopper, but I do find it to be a step up from the Dance Dance Revolution and Karaoke “shows” (I use that term loosely) that most Cedar Fair and Six Flags theme parks currently offer.

The official Disney Parks Blog announced today that two of the Walt Disney World Resort monorail trains would see a futuristic transformation to promote the upcoming “Tron Legacy” film. The trains will feature the films redesigned version of the signature “Light Cycle” speeding down the side of the monorail trains leaving a glowing trail of light, one blue, one gold.
Below are renderings of the new look:


I have to say this overlay looks pretty incredible, and despite being an ad, is certainly a nice change over the bland, white monorails that otherwise run on the resort’s “highway in the sky”. I definitely look forward to seeing picturing of them in the coming months.
Disney Parks said you can expect to see these trains on the Epcot line as early as the end of the month.

Magic Springs just announced they will be adding a wave simulator to Crystal Falls, the park’s free with admission water park. Guests will be able to hang ten in the middle of Arkansas with Boogie Blast, a White Water Wests FlowRider. Water park goers will grab a boogie board and then jump into the man made wave where they will be able to do tricks, spins, and with some practice, even a few flips. Boogie Blast is a great attraction for all ages; it is one of interactive rides that are fun to ride over, and over and over again because you can get better at it each time and have fun improving. Not only will it be very re-ridable, but Boogie Blast is sure to be fun to watch with all the stunts, tricks and wipe outs!
This comes as a great addition with a quite troublesome season last year. The park was plagued with break downs and other disruptions that simply did not make this park reach anywhere near it’s fullest potential. Luckily, it seems that the park is back on track with this new addition and it is sure to be a popular one.
Unfortunately, I have never had a chance to experience one of these Wave Simulators. Have you? Leave a comment with your Park Thoughts below.
