White Christmas 2025

[TV15]

White Christmas 2025 tickets are now on sale!

This years event is mostly the same however the WoZ precinct is open at night! Superman Escape, Flash Speed Force and Scooby are missing from the ride lineup. With all these new rides open is 3 hrs really enough time to experience everything?

Either points to Scooby being a post-WC opening, or they just don't want to commit at this point and it "may" be open depending on how testing and commissioning goes in the next 6 weeks

Or it will be open during the event, but they don’t want to yet give away when it’s reopening. If Scooby is open during the event, that will essentially be all you’ll have time to do because I’m sure the queue will be very very long.

Which always confused me - people riding a dark ride during a night event makes zero sense.

This is a family event... Scoobys nostalgic. The typical family visit for the shows, entertainment and parade, while they're at it might as well take the whole family on Scooby.

i’d say they just don’t want to give away Scooby’s opening date, with Flash and Superman i think that’s more of a “we’ll see if the problem is resolved in time” thing.

Didn't MW limit the rides open at FN this year?

Pretty sure they held back WOZ and WWF, but brought them online when Superman shit the bed.

There's still plenty of other things to experience on this event without riding something that in no way matches the rest of it.

On that note though, i'd love to see them do overlays for scooby. Here's some random thoughts:

• decorate the queueline - pumpkins or christmas trees? tinsel or extra cobwebs?
• Add some additional props to the ghost train section - again, pumpkins or christmas trees? tinsel or extra cobwebs? stick a santa hat on the scooby animatronics - or even the 'spooky' animatronics too?
• Replace the axes in the hands of the suits of armor with candy canes
• Up the haze in the disco room for halloween, play spooky soundtracks (can just be SFX - or maybe look into licensing relevant tracks - Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' perhaps? Maybe the Scooby movies have something useful? If the lighting package has some interchangeable gobos or something - swtich them out for spiders or something?
• For christmas, ditch the haze, and stick some snow machines in instead. Fall backwards out of the elevator and get enveloped in falling snow! Play some (public domain) christmas songs with a good beat. Something like "Jinglin'" by Toby Rand. christmas gobos... i don't know what's out there.

Now this is obviously based on my knowledge of the original. We have no idea what they've got planned here. If there is still any projection utilised - then perhaps they could switch out the generic day time background for some themed halloween or christmas themed backgrounds. 

 

This would actually give a reason for riding it during the event. 

Yes, it's already very popular and gets long queues - however - plenty of folk avoid it for that reason. these sorts of overlays would encourage those folk to try to ride it - increasing demand and making fast track purchases more likely, which increases revenue. 

 

Just spitballing. I know it's highly unlikely. just thought I'd throw it at the wall anyway.

Unlikely a themed overlay would be added the first time it’s open straight out of the gate (Scooby that is). 
 

As for WWF not being planned to be open, that would be odd given they spent money to add a lighting package just so they could open it for FN and WC. 
That lighting package also has different overlays for both events.

It's scheduled to be open, but like last year could be pulled from the ride at any time (a day or two before).
