Today's Script
[excited] MERLIN ENTERTAINMENTS and MICROSOFT GAMING have pulled back the curtain on a SEVENTY MILLION DOLLAR Minecraft World... set to open at a UK theme park in 2027. Executives from both companies have shared the first official details on the project... and this is a big one for MERLIN's portfolio.

[announcing] DOLLYWOOD is going national... the beloved Tennessee brand confirming plans to expand its theme park experience across the U.S. No locations named yet, but Dolly's empire is clearly thinking bigger than the Smokies.

[thoughtful] Over at MAGIC KINGDOM, a construction flyover is giving us fresh aerial looks at both Piston Peak and Villains Land... two of the most anticipated additions to the park in years. Progress is visible, and fans are watching closely.

[energetic] And DISNEYLAND ABU DHABI is confirming that its resort project is still moving forward.

[energetic] That's your daily update from Ride Report. [chuckles] Stay in the queue.
