Starlight Experience

Since Luminosity was started last year, i am assuming that this is the reason that the Starlight Experience ended. is this the case, or is there another reason? this has sentimental memories for my Hubby and I. can someone answer this?

Has it actually ended? I know that last year, though Starlight Experience was no longer being marketed as a separate attraction, the lights were all still up and in operation. The floats and special effects (i.e. sound, fog, etc.) were, however, discontinued.

Have things changed for this year?

With the new Luminosity Plaza / Main Midway improvements, I'd actually like to see Starlight retired and Frontiertown restored to its former peacefulness. Plus, the attraction started looking pretty shabby last year when it wasn't being thoroughly maintained...

I have heard rumors that Starlight will at least be maintained this year, though don't expect the music or original program to return. The rumor is that they hired a technician just to maintain the main midway and the trail, last year the trail was "fixed" in 3 days and opened and they never touched it again other than to reset GFI's on occasion. Here's hoping it's better this year.

I said something similar last year, but I would really like to see them update Starlight. New soundtrack, new lights, and new scenes. Probably something closer to King's Island or Canada's Wonderland version without the floats and what not but right now it just looks like crap! I actually brought it up a few times to Live Entertainment last year and even once to Quimet but was always told they just didn't have the "budget" for it anymore.

I don't think we're going to see much more from it -- another season or two of them just replacing burnt out lights and fuses, and eventually removed --

I thought it looked pretty, but it was never really the "experience" I think they had envisioned -- people just didn't want to wait around that long to walk through Frontier Trail on the way to nowhere on their way out of the park -- Frontiertown visitors don't walk to the main entrance, they take the train and then walk to get out of there as fast as possible...

People from the midway don't walk TO frontiertown as the last thing of the day, they are heading in the opposite direction...

The problem with Starlight Experience isn't the lights, or the floats, or the music, or the maintenance. Its that is isn't an attraction you pass "on the way out" like it is at the other parks....
