From Arthur Levine, your Guide to Theme Parks
Forget about pirates, wizards, princesses, and killer whales. Florida theme parks will be rolling out the (blood-stained) red carpet for zombies, axe-wielding ghouls, scar-covered sickos, and an assortment of other sordid seasonal weirdos as Halloween events kick into gear starting in September.

It's Going to Be Horror-bile in Florida this Fall
Florida's biggest monster mashup (and really, the best Halloween event anywhere) will be at Universal Orlando. The park hasn't released many details, but what is known is outlined at my Halloween Horror Nights 21 page. Although not as ambitious as Universal's scare-fest, Busch Gardens Tampa has lots of gore in store at its Howl-O-Scream. Disney World and SeaWorld, meanwhile, aim for the G-rated version of Halloween with their toned-down events. Get the lowdown on the Halloween high jinks in my 2011 Florida Scaredy Parks Guide.


Welcome to the Hotel Legoland California
Because it had been rumored for some time, the recent announcement by Legoland California that it would be developing an onsite hotel didn't hit me like a ton of bricks. But it is big news for the popular park. Read more .

Seeking the Wind in the Carolinas
It wasn't too hard to find massive doses of wind over the last few days as Hurricane Irene unleashed its wrath in the U.S. starting in North Carolina. I hope all of our East Coast readers are safe, and I wish you well with your post-storm cleanup efforts. The Carolinas will get another blast of air, albeit the phony theme park version, when Carowinds unleashes WindSeeker next season. Read more.
