US theme park seasonal holiday programming

Overview

Theme parks in the United States are transitioning through various seasonal programming. Initially, Southern California attractions, including Disneyland Resort, Universal Studios Hollywood, and Knott’s Berry Farm, focused on preparations for the Halloween season. Specific highlights included Disney California Adventure’s seasonal ride redesigns and the Oogie Boogie Bash event.
