---- UNITED STATES DEVELOPMENT NEWS --- (12/12/2024) Kansas - Wichita's All Star Adventures Park Closed Without Warning (12/7/2024) Florida - The 2nd Largest Planetarium in the US Set To Open in Tampa Next Summer (12/2/2024) California - SkyPark At Santa's Village Opens New Attraction (12/1/2024) So Why is ZDT Selling the Switchback? (11/30/2024) Texas - ZDT's Switchback Coaster Is Up For Sale (11/27/2024) Arizona - Interview and Footage Of Man Climbing Out of Desert Storm Coaster
Arizona - (11/27/2024) An interview with the rider that climbed out of the Desert Storm coaster in Arizona, along with video footage of him climbing out of the train while going up the lift hill has been posted by the local NBC news station. (11/25/2024) The local news in Phoenix reports that a guest exited the Desert Storm roller coaster at Castles N’ Coasters near the top of the lift hill when they noticed that their restraint had released itself while going up the hill. According to the report this happened on Sunday when the rider heard the restraint made an odd noise. Pushing on it, the restraint released completely and out of fear they took the opportunity to jump from the train onto the staircase near the top of the lift hill. The coaster in question is Desert Storm, a steel roller coaster from Hopkins built in 1992 that features two inversions and simple old-school sit-down style roller coaster trains with only a lap-bar restraint system.
California - (12/2/2024) SkyPark at Santa’s Village has opened a new attraction that brings the former suspended Bumble Bee Monorail ride track back to life. They call it “The B Rail”, where guests can climb-abord a single-rider suspended mountain bike frake and pedal your way through the sky along the monorail track beam. And yes, I said PEDAL… this is an entirely self-powered attraction now. A few quick notes… the track is suspended up to 45 feet in the air at some points, and since this is a self-powered attraction, you have to be willing and able to complete the entire course. Riders must be between 75 lbs and no more than 265 lbs, and at a height between 5 ft and no more than 6 ft 7 inches. (7/7/2024) It has been confirmed that the Pandas are returning to the San Diego Zoo. According to this article a farewell ceremony took place in China on June 26th for Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, a male and female, which were flown be flown to the San Diego Zoo. While the Pandas are in San Diego, they are not yet on display, as it will take several weeks for them to acclimate to their new home. This event will mark the first time in 21 years that China has sent any pandas to the United States. They won’t be alone however, as another pair will also soon be sent to the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington DC by the end of the year. The San Diego Zoo has successfully worked with China in the past, having successfully served as a temporary home for giant pandas from China from the late 90s, with all new cubs sent back to the breeding program in China over the years and eventually closing the exhibit in 2019 at the end of the successful program. (2/26/2024) Good news for the San Diego Zoo came out this week as it was confirmed that China is sending two giant panda’s to the world famous attraction. According to news articles, China has not granted any new loans of Giant Pandas to any zoo or attraction in the United States for over 20 years. In fact, the three pandas on loan from China that were at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington DC were actually just returned to China in November, and the San Diego Zoo previously had giant pandas as well, but those were returned in 2019 at the end of their previous loan agreement with China. Now, according to a statement from China’s leader, Xi Jinping, China seems ready to reach out to the San Diego Zoo once again with Panda’s as an offer of “friendship between the Chinese and American peoples.”
Florida - (12/7/2024) Apparently the second largest planetarium in the US is set to open in Tampa next year at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI). The former IMAX dome theater at the museum is being converted into a new digital dome theater and planetarium that will be powered by 10 8K Christie digital projectors along an entirely new dome screen surface that will feature an 8-story tall image that will surround audiences. This will be a major replacement and upgrade for the center's former Planetarium, which had a dome diameter of about 29 feet and was only able to accommodate 46 guests at a time, while the new 87 foot dome will hold at least 300 guests at a time. This will be surpassed in the US only by the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium in New Jersey that is said to feature a 89 foot diameter dome. While not in the rankings for the world’s largest dome theaters anymore, I’d got to give a shout out to the Ruben H. Fleet dome theater in San Diego that I grew up visiting, featuring a 23m (76.1 ft) diameter dome and a theater capacity of 314 seats. (11/22/2024) According to Surfer.com, a new 360º wave generating surf park is planned to come to Tampa. The concept is based on the Surf Lakes attraction in Queensland, Australia that features a massive plunger style structure in the middle of a body of water that rises and drops into the water, creating breaking surf waves rushing away from it in all directions. Now plans are in the works to create Peak Surf Park in Pasco County, north of Tampa, within the Two Rivers master-planned development sometime in 2027. The Tampa area isn’t the only city in Florida with a major surf park planned, as a different group of developers is also working on a project for the Jacksonville market as part of a project area called eTown. Here developers from The PARC Group hope to build the Jacksonville Surf Park creaturing a Wavegarden Cave lagoon, along with a surf academy, a boutique hotel, a health and welness center, beach club and more. (9/17/2024) According to the local news, Adventure Landing in Jacksonville has extended their lease to remain open through the 2025 season now. So far the owners of the property who originally were going to close the FEC back in late 2021 to built a new residential complex, but those plans remain on-hold, allowing Adventure Landing to remain for the time being.
(2/1/2024) New concept artwork showing off the look of the new Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show theater coming to Panama City Beach, Florida has been released. Construction on the new show venue is already under way with the intent to have it ready to open before the end of Spring 2025. “When completed, the 60,000 square foot indoor theater will have more than 1000 seats. Guests will be treated to a dinner and show where the Crimson and Sapphire pirates battle on deck, in the water of the 15-foot-deep lagoon, and in the “sky” above the two full-sized pirate ships that serve as the swashbuckling stage for adventure, excitement and fun for everyone. When the new dinner show opens, it will employ 300 people, and an extensive nationwide talent search will begin in mid-2024 for the cast. The total cost for the project is estimated at $60 million.” The new Florida attraction will be the third Pirates Voyage dinner show, joining the original in Myrtle Beach, SC and the second one located in Pigeon Forge, TN.
(12/18/2023) This has been a long time coming, but the local news has confirmed that Dolly Parton will open a new Pirates Voyage Dinner Theater attraction to the Florida Panhandle by Spring 2025. They say that the new dinner theater attraction will open at Pier Park in Panama City Beach. This will be a new 60,000 sqft, 1,000-seat theater space, with a ground-breaking planned for January. Currently there are two other Pirates Voyage attractions in operation, the original in Myrtle Beach, SC and a second one added in Pigeon Forge, TN. Now, the reason I say that this was a long time coming, is long-time readers may recall back in 2013, news reports came out claiming that Dolly and her World Choice Investment company had purchased property in nearby Destin, FL. The thought at the time was that they were planning to build either a Pirates Voyage or Dolly Parton’s Stampede dinner theater in Destin. Despite the reports claiming that four different parcels of land were purchased in 2013, nothing ever came of it. A decade later, it seems that Dolly and company never quite forgot their attempt to expand into Florida once again, following the sale and closure of the Dixie Stampede attraction in Orlando that ran from 2003 to 2008.
Illinois - (10/3/2024) A temporary experience attraction themed to the world of Rick & Morty will open in Chicago’s “Morgan Arts Complex” on December 6 and run through to Jan. 5th, 2025. The 25,000 sqft exhibit space will be transformed into an interactive version of Rick’s lab, as well as including things like a themed mini-golf course, Seal Team Rick Laser Tag and more. You can find out more about the Rick & Morty: Multiverse Mania Experience and pre-purchase tickets at the official website. (7/30/2023) According to the latest update posted to Theme Park Tourist, the timeline for the proposed Eco Theme Park for the Chicago area has been updated. The previous timeline posted that including the opening of the Grand Atrium in Fall 2024 was apparently a reflection of pre-COVID times. The new current timeline proposed won’t see the project open until sometime between 2026-2027. (7/22/2023) It’s been over a year since we’ve heard anything about the so self proclaimed “World’s First Eco Theme Park” project, but Theme Park Tourist has a new update on the Chicago area project. For starters, it seems we have a name and the park will be called “WILD”, but they are also talking about a 500+ room resort planned for the project called “The Adventurer Resort”. The Adventurer Resort will be themed after “the exploits of the characters of Jules Verne, along with P.T. Barnum, Robert Ripley, among others,” to be wrapped up in a unique Steampunk themed package. If that wasn’t enough the planned resort will also be connected to a large indoor waterpark as well as a complex with an events/conference center space, restaurants, retail and the “Playhouse Theater”. Follow the link to see a collection of concert art for the proposed new resort. They also mention that the complex will be connected to “The Grand Atrium” which is a large indoor attractions space for the park that will be open year-round and feature several dark rides, exhibits, a butterfly garden and a “wide format theater”. Access into The Grand Atrium will be free, but you’ll need to purchase a wristband to experience the attractions. From the sound of things, The Grand Atrium may also serve as access into the rest of the outdoor theme park when built, as they mentioned that it will be connected to ‘the main street of the theme park”. Now for a bit of reality… the article also claims they plan to open The Grand Atrium in Fall of 2024 and the rest of the park by Summer 2025, but unless this is secretly under construction already, I just don’t see this timeline happening at all. A new modern theme park itself typically takes about 3 years to build, a small indoor attraction complex may be possible in 2 years, and typically we see resort properties with an indoor waterpark, like a Great Wolf Lodge, always take about 18 months minimum. Perhaps a better comparison may be the timetable for the new Mattel Adventure Park under construction in Arizona. It was announced back in June 2021, and claimed they wanted it open by Late 2022 (18 months later) to handle all the crowds coming to the city for the Superbowl coming to the city in Feb. 2023. Obviously that didn’t happen, and serious construction didn’t even begin until Early 2022, the coasters didn’t start going up until Early 2023 and the mostly indoor park is now not expected to open until sometime in 2024. So with all that in mind, don’t plan your trip to Chicago just yet.
Kansas - (12/12/2024) While not a big park by any means, I’m told that the “All Star Adventure” FEC in Wichita has now closed down after being open nearly 30 years. According to some other posts on social media, the attraction was not seeking to be shut down, but instead are the victim of not owning the property under the park, and the land owner will not renew their lease, and is instead seeking to redevelop the property into something else. With no other option open to them, the attraction owners are now seeking to try and sell as many of their rides and attractions as possible. Some of the attractions may be relocated across town to the All Star Sports location, but the rest will all have to be sold or removed. This is a sad day for Wichita, as I’m told that All Star Adventure was really the only operating amusement park in the area. For those interesting, I’m told that they are currently looking to sell a Sellner Tilt-A-Whirl, Everly Spider, Wisdom Dragon Coaster, Childress Swings, Man-Co Paratrooper, Sellner Pumpkin Patch, Allen Herschel Helicopters, Wisdom Family Himalaya, SBF Bees Jet 6, Hi-Lite Carousel, Zamperla Train, Wisdom Miner Mike, Zamperla Kiddie Swings, Zamperla Clown Around, along with Bumper Boats and Go-Karts.
Louisiana - (6/3/2024) Six Flags New Orleans has now been closed since August 2005, essentially wiped off the map by Hurricane Katrina. Over the last 19 years the site has sat idle in a state of partial destruction and abandonment, only seen by the rare explorer who felt it was worth trespassing to visit, or by the occasional Hollywood production who rented it out as a filming location like Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. After nearly two decades, the site has now officially been leased and control handed off to some local businessmen, as part of Bayou Phoenix, who will officially assess and redevelop the site into something new. The initial plan includes building a youth sports complex, a water park, along with a couple hotels, a filming soundstage and more. Before any of that can come to be however, the site itself needs to be cleaned up and reassessed to determine how it can be developed. According to a local news report, crews are already on site clearing out access roads that have been overgrown and lost for years, as well as removing any unwanted animals who may have moved into the abandoned park structures and made it their home. Before the end of summer arrives, expect to see a full demolition crew arrive on site with the intent of removing more than 90 amusement park rides and building structures scattered across the site. Then it will be time to determine how much, if any, of the pilings and concrete slabs that were built under it all are salvageable, or if even all that must be removed to take the entire site back to basics. It doesn’t end there however, as they will also need the Army Corps of Engineers to study the site again to determine how much of it is “natural wetlands” and undergo a lengthy federal wetland permitting process. However this plays out, it will be a long and drawn out process to redevelop the former theme park site into something new, but expect the decaying old buildings and rides like the MegaZeph roller coaster to start coming down later this year, forever removing them from the local skyline.
Maine - (2/18/2024) According to a post from Coaster Chit Chat on Facebook, a new indoor waterpark has been proposed that would be connected to a Ramada by Wyndham hotel in Saco, Maine. The project is working under the name “Saco Surf ‘N’ Slide” and would also include an additional 139-room hotel tower. The project is said to currently be under review by the city.
Missouri - (11/9/2024) MidWestInfoGuide reports that the Big Surf Waterpark at Lake of the Ozarks (MO) seems to have purchased the former Dolphin Dash 6-lane mat-racer slide from Zoombezi Bay. Zoombezi Bay ran the attraction this past summer and surprised their guests when they closed it for good on Sept. 2 and removed it to make way for something new as well that has yet to be announced. and... in the Branson area... (11/9/2024) According to local news reports two women were taken in for treatment after falling approximately 6 feet out of the Copperhead Mountain Coaster located at Shepherd’s Adventure Park near Branson, MO. Both women were reported as being in their 50s, and while they somehow fell out during a turn on the attraction, nothing further has been reported as to how this may have happened. This is one of those mountain coasters that loads at the top, has a single very long downhill run before loading onto a very long lift hill at the end back to the station at the top. You can see a good POV of it in action below.
(6/13/2024) According to a post by Coaster101, the St. Louis Union Station is planning to open a three-ride package from Zamperla in 2025. The ride package will include a small spinning roller coaster, a Wave Swinger and Galleon swinging ship, which will be added not far from the current location of the St. Louis Wheel. Follow the link to see some concept art and more details about how this former train station is being turned into a new major attraction for the city.
Nebraska - (2/10/2024) The city of Bellevue, Nebraska has approved to issue bonds to build a $60 million resort project that would include a massive indoor waterpark that would be open year round. If things go as planned the project could be open by 2026. Based on the photos they are showing off of what the park would look like, it seems they are modeling their project after the huge Epic Waters waterpark in Texas.
New York - Note: All New York City News Has Been Moved to a Dedicated Page
North Carolina - (10/12/2024) According to the official website, the small “Tweetsie” theme park in the North Carolina mountains is now closed due to the impact of Hurricane Helene. The statement from the park on their website now says that Tweetsie will remain closed for the rest of the fall season, and isn’t planned to reopen until November 29th for the park’s Tweetsie Christmas event. The closure isn’t so much due to damage at the park, but more due to the impact from the storm on the local community overall “impacting countless families, small businesses, and employees.” The park is remaining closed for the Fall season and “allowing our staff and the surrounding area to prioritize rebuilding and restoring what was lost.”
Oklahoma - (12/26/2022) It looks like things are still moving forward with the plans to build the OKANA Resort and Indoor Waterpark near Oklahoma City. An official ground-breaking ceremony took place on Oct. 31st for the project which is now hoping to open in Early 2025 if all goes well. We first mentioned the OKANA project back in October 2021, which you can see here. (10/23/21) Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby announced plans to create a major resort destination near the newly-opened First Americans Museum along the Oklahoma River near downtown Oklahoma City. The plans feature the “OKANA Resort & Indoor Waterpark”, a $300 million project, with a first phase said to develop 40 acres of the 140 acre site with an 11-story 404-room resort hotel, a 5-acre adventure lagoon with sandy beaches good for play and relaxation, a 33,000 sqft family entertainment center, an 100,000 sqft indoor waterpark, along with a conference center, spa, golf simulator and a shopping district that will feature numerous shops and restaurants. Future phases will expand the project and new amenities and attractions, like an amphitheater and large lawn space able to host various performances, festivals and other events. The OKANA Resort will also connect to the nearby Boathouse District through a new Oklahoma River Cruises Ferry Landing and have access pathways to the north and south side of the property. If all goes as planned, the project could be complete by late spring 2024.
South Carolina - (10/30/2024) The Funplex amusement complex in Myrtle Beach has announced on their website that they have now closed down for good. Having just opened in 2021, this was a short run for the new attraction, as the company will now focus their efforts to continue to run the other two Funplex attractions in Mount Laurel and East Hanover, New Jersey. (9/2/2024) Readers who visit the Myrtle Beach area may recall that a Simpsons themed attraction (4D Theater) with an attached Kwik-E-Mart gift-shop soft opened in April 2019 at Broadway at the Beach. After a 5 year run, apparently it seems the attraction shut down sometime in mid to late April (probably shortly after Spring Break). The closure was apparently a bit sudden as Broadway at the Beach’s website was still reporting that it was an active attraction for much of the summer, and guests that arrived claimed that while the doors were closed the Kwik-E-Mart seemed to still be fully stocked and Squishee drink machines were seen to still be swirling away the frosty beverages in the darkness. As most of you are aware, Disney closed the deal to purchase 20th Century Fox in 2019, and they never would have approved of this deal, so I’m sure there was a rush to get the Myrtle Beach attraction open as soon as possible. Given the timeline, I’m guessing they may have only had a 5-year licensing deal in place, with plans to re-new it if the attraction proved to be successful in South Carolina, which may have been the reason for closing everything while leaving it ready to open for so long, if they were attempting to negotiate or even legally wrangle with Disney to keep whatever IP renewal options they thought they had in place. Now that Labor Day weekend is coming to a close, marking the end of the summer, a new picture from Myrtle Beach has surfaced on social media showing that all the Simpsons themed branding on the outside of the attraction had been completely removed. Now your only way to see what it looked like to walk-up to it is through the magic of Google Maps.
South Dakota - (9/28/2024) We haven't really heard anything about this proposed new amusement park in quite some time, but the local news has posted a small update about the planned Liberty Land park for Rapid City, South Dakota. The last actual movement on the project that we heard about was when the site was officially rezoned at the end 2022 to a mixed-use plan to allow for the project to move forward. According to the update, no breaking of ground has occurred yet, but the development plans for the 300-acre property are still said to be moving forwards, which will include not only the amusement park, but a concert amphitheater, indoor waterpark, a restaurant and retail center and… an “RV Resort”. Ooof! There is the big red flag for me. While I don’t have a problem with RV parks in general, whenever they are brought up as part of a development plan to build a new theme park resort, things just never go well and most of the time the planned parks are never built. Or at least that has been my experience in covering theme park news on Screamscape now for over 25 years. They say that the “phase one” of construction on the Liberty Land project isn’t expected to be complete until at least 2030 at this point, but they also fail to mention exactly what is included in this “Phase One”. If Phase One ends up being the RV Park… you can probably kiss this entire project goodbye, as the entirely proposal to build the theme park usually turns out to have been nothing more than a smoke and mirrors attempt to misguide everyone that a developer’s plan to really just build an RV Park would somehow turn into something far more grandiose that will never get built once they get what they really want out of it. I hope I’m wrong here, but... we’ll just have to wait and see how things go, especially if they reveal more details about what they prioritize as Phase One. (11/22/2023) An interesting mixed-use concept called Libertyland USA Theme Park & Resort has been proposed for Black Hills, South Dakota. A link about the project has been posted to the Storyland Studios website, where they describe features like the theme park, a residential district, a retail & dining area, a 300-room hotel with an indoor waterpark and a nearby RV park and campground. They aren’t real clear on the timeline for this project, which probably means that things are still pretty fluid right now and very much in the blue-sky design phase. According to a local news report however a developer associated with the project tnear Rapids City mentioned a 2026 opening date, but the last actual movement on the project came in November 2022 when a parcel of property that appears to be part of this project was approved for re-zoning. At the time of the 2022 re-zoning request, the developers said that the project would be built up in two phases, with a completion not expected until 2030. So with a new 2026 being mentioned, this may perhaps be the goal they are shooting for to open the first phase, though we don’t know exactly what sections of the resort property that entails at this time.
Texas - (12/1/2024) While I’m unable to fact-check this myself, a post on Reddit claims that during an ACE event at ZDT last month the family owners of ZDT mentioned a plan to “retire soon”, and to do so they would be looking to sell the park to someone else to run. If they are unable to sell the park, they would then look into selling off the rides to new homes and eventually selling off the property. According to the post the asking price for the Switchback is said to be about $3.1 million, but of course that price would not include the cost of transporting it to a new home or the cost of assembly. ZDT has been a family owned and operated attraction, where it has been said that Danny Donhauser, the owner, does the majority of the daily maintenance on the Switchback himself. So if the Donhauser family is ready to retire, it would explain a lot about what may be going on there. (11/30/2024) If you find yourself in Texas anywhere near San Antonio, you might want to venture a bit east to check out the ZDT Amusement Park, which is about a 50 minute drive from either Six Flags Fiesta Texas or SeaWorld San Antonio. The smallish ZDT is perhaps most well known as being home to the unique Switchback wooden coaster, which may be the only wooden shuttle coaster in existence, created by The Gravity Group. While the Switchback quietly opened in 2015, it might not get to celebrate a 10th birthday next year, as it was reported at IAAPA that the Switchback was being listed as being up for sale at The Gravity Groups tradeshow booth. The exact reasons for the sale aren’t known, though it is thought that the rising maintenance costs involved with keeping Switchback open may have simply become too much for the small attraction to continue to support going forward. To get a great look at this unique attraction, that features both a traditional lift hill and a spike-track at the end, using a unique track switch to allow for the train to return to the station, check out the POV video below.
(10/27/2024) Good news, as The Grinch is coming to San Antonio this winter as part of a new seasonal “ICE!” event happening at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country resort. You may recall hearing about the ICE! display events as an exclusive attraction to the various Gaylord Resorts around the country for a number of years. Marriott purchased the chain back in 2012 and I’m not sure exactly what took them so long, but it looks like this may be the first time one of the Gaylord style “ICE!” events is happening at a Marriott branded resort. (Please correct me if I’m wrong on that point, as I don’t recall seeing one anywhere else since Marriott bought the resort chain.) If you’ve never been before, the resorts bring in a team artists who carve fantastic worlds and characters out of giant blocks of ice, building a colorful display within an enclosed environment chilled just below freezing. All Guests are outfitted with a parka as they step inside frozen wonderlands that have new themes each season! For those in Texas, the Gaylord Texas resort to the north will also have their own ICE! display this year with a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer theme. Outside of Texas, you can also enjoy “Ice!” displays themed to Charlie Brown at the Gaylord National (Maryland), Elf at the Gaylord Palms (Orlando), Frosty the Snowman at the Gaylord Opryland (Nashville), and The Polar Express at the Gaylord Rockies (Denver). (5/1/2024) Something interesting is in the works for Austin, Texas from one of the co-founders of Meow Wolf. The project is called Submerisive and is described as a sort of a blending on the immersive art concepts of Meow Wolf combined with the offering of a relaxing day at the Spa. Right now the plan is to open the first phase of the 25,000 high-tech wellness space sometime in 2026 that plans to do nothing short of “reinvent the art of bathing”. Through the use of video projections, lasers and AI technology, Subversive plans are to construct a world that “takes you beyond relaxation into elevated states of consciousness including awe, wonder, inspiration, transcendence, euphoria, and hyper-presence”. Austin isn’t the end either, as there are plans to expand the concept across the US at first, and eventually even international locations are possible. But first… Austin… which will open in limited form in 2026 and with plans to expand and fully complete what that first location has to offer by 2028. Personally, I find the concept very interesting and something I’d be interesting in trying, as I’ve always been very curious about the concept of finding improved relaxation and focus by spending time in a Sensory Deprivation Tank (or Float Tank), that is supposed to allow you to really unwind and de-stress both body and mind. I’ve never had the chance to visit one, but it’s something on my bucket list for sure, and the concept of Submersive sounds like it might be something great to experience as well.
Washington - (7/6/2024) Things went a little awry at a carnival in Washington this week when six riders on a ride at the Oak Harbor carnival were injured when the whole ride tipped over. The ride was named Cyclone and was some kind of kiddie swing ride owned by Paradise Amusements of Idaho. No further information is available at this time, but following the incident, all rides at the carnival have been shut down for the rest of the event. I wasn’t able to find any kind of website for Paradise Amusements of Idaho (just another company based in Florida) and it looks like they have either shut down or made their Facebook pages private for the time being. The news broadcast was able to confirm that Paradise Amusements is currently slated to run the rides at the nearby Whidbey Island Fair taking place in late July 25-28th, 2024.
(3/31/2024) By the end of the year Seattle will become home to a new escape room experience themed to the Tomb Raider video game and film franchise. The new attraction comes as part of a partnership between the video game developer, Crystal Dynamics, and Hourglass Attractions. Players will be asked to join Laura Croft as she explores the depths of a new mysterious temple that had emerged out of a volcano. Look for it to open by the end of the year on the Seattle waterfront near Pike Place Market.
