Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. We'll begin our tour with a fireworks show we unfortunately can no longer see in 2021 since it has been discontinued - but for the exactly 20 years it did run it was incredible and the "Peace on Earth" Christmas add-on was even more so. I am, of course, talking of Walt Disney World's "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth", but which of the four parks was it performed in? (The show's name should kind of point to the right one)
2. Let's stay in Orlando for a bit - Universal Studios hosts a parade during the holiday season that is modeled after a major parade sponsored by a department store. If you check out the picture at full resolution and notice the city the area is themed after, I am sure you'll probably know which one it is.
3. We're still in Florida, but the setting of this picture is a good bit away from Orlando. In fact, while Christmas is kind of associated with the North Pole, this is rather for the South Pole. Thus knowing that this picture was taken at an Antarctic-themed attraction, it comes from which park?
4. This picture is quite a few years old, dating from the 1970s, however Knott's Berry Farm has been running a Christmas event ever since. For that event, the park is slightly renamed, resulting in which moniker?
5. Let's travel across the Atlantic and have a look at some European parks for a change. This image of an interesting holiday decoration was taken at a Scandinavian park (where you might not immediately suspect a winter opening given the weather). Given this information, which of the following parks would be the one this picture was taken at?
6. Phantasialand, located in Brühl, is one of two German parks featuring a winter opening. Their "Wintertraum" event (meaning "winter dream") features opening times well into the darkness as well as a special show lineup. Among these shows, certainly the most spectacular one is "The Magic Rose", an evening show with a fairy tale theme held on an ice rink. If you closely look at the picture, you can probably guess its subtitle, which is...?
7. Those of you who know my theme park preferences know that I wouldn't write a mixed quiz without somehow mentioning Europa Park and I won't break the pattern for this one. While most rides at Europa Park are open during winter, the Atlantica Supersplash (a very wet water ride) is not among them. But with it being the only ride in the Portugal area, it needs a replacement so we wouldn't miss a whole country during the winter season. Looking at the picture, you can probably tell me which kind of ride operates in its place?
8. We don't need to stop at installing a temporary ride during the winter season - how about a whole theme park that only operates for the holidays? In fact, that's what you can get in London with "Winter Wonderland". You not only get a Christmas market but also a full-fledged theme park / carnival including major roller coasters and a huge Ferris wheel. Where would you have to head in December to experience it?
9. So you want some Christmas vibe in a theme park but it just happens to not be December right now? Well, at Universal Islands of Adventure, you can at least have winter any day of the year at the depicted location. Where was this picture taken?
10. A taste of winter with a bit of an advent vibe is not enough for you? You want a real Christmas celebration on any day of the year? And while you're at it, add Thanksgiving, Halloween, Fourth of July and New Year's Eve into the mix for one big holiday of holidays? Look no further than Holiday World, a theme park where every single attraction is based on the major holidays on the North American schedule. Which town would you have to travel to visit that park?
