• Universal Orlando had both theme parks and Volcano Bay hit capacity over the labour day weekend for the first time since reopening. • Tokyo Disney Resort has announced that it will start charging ¥20 (about 20 cents US) for plastic bags at its parks.
• Cedar Point kicked off a new family friendly Halloween event Tricks and Treats Fall Fest this week, which runs weekends through to November 1st.
• The State of California lowered Orange County’s pandemic restrictions, which allows for the likes of Downtown Disney and Knotts Berry Farm to reopen indoor dining at 25% capacity.
• At Wuxi Sunac Land in China last weekend, the Mack Rides “Blue Fire” coaster Steam Racers had a misfired launch which exactly matched the force required to reach the top of the initial hill, without going over or rolling back. It was reported that riders were stuck on the banked turn at the top of the hill for approximately an hour before the coaster train was brought back down and the riders were able to disembark.
