The Peppa Pig Theme Park will be a totally separate attraction at the Legoland Florida Resort, not an extension of the existing theme park in any way. "This all-new theme park will feature multiple rides, interactive attractions, themed playscapes and water play areas—complete with “muddy puddles” of course—and fun live shows daily."

No news about the park's sale price or other transaction details are available at this time since Herschend is a private company, but the press release does note that Herschend has "become a majority partner and operator" of the amusement and water park. Kentucky Kingdom can now call parks such as Dollywood and Silver Dollar City as siblings, though Herschend has a much larger portfolio than just those well known parks.
“We are pleased to turn the park over to a new generation of leadership. Herschend is an outstanding operator, who will undoubtedly take Kentucky Kingdom & Hurricane Bay to the next level. We expect their involvement will add greatly to the Commonwealth’s thriving tourism industry,” said Kentucky Kingdom’s founder, President and CEO Ed Hart.

As for the future of Kentucky Kingdom, Herschend outlined several priorities for the coming years. These include "building the appeal for multi-generational families; hosting family-friendly seasonal and themed events and festivals; enhancing product and guest experiences through rebranding and the addition of Herschend-owned programming, such as costume character appearances; expanding of the season to provide entertainment to more park guests; and building relationships with state and local tourism partners to increase awareness and entice travel to Kentucky Kingdom, Louisville and the Commonwealth."
Kentucky Kingdom has announced that they will open for the 2021 season on May 8th.

Cedar Point will continue with their 150th anniversary celebration in 2021, which was largely delayed from the 2020 season. The fun kicks off June 26th and continues daily through August 15th. Included in the party is the Celebrate 150 Spectacular parade, which features spectacular floats that travel through the park, which culminates in a big street party with music, dancing, pyrotechnics and more. Building on new retail and food offerings that took place in 2020, the park has even more new fun planned for the 150th celebration this year.

The Governor's office has set the earliest date for reopening as March 26th for indoor operations and April 9th for outdoor parks. Indoor parks will be limited to 25% of their capacity and outdoor parks will be limited to 33% of their capacity.
Each park must submit a set of their protocals for operating during the pandemic before they open their doors, with minimum requirements mirroring what most states did last season. These include temperature checks for visitors, face coverings for all and social distancing put into place. Another interesting requirement is that "contact information must be collected from each party to inform contact tracing, if needed" - that could be a logistical nightmare without the use of an app or similar technology.
Luna Park in Coney Island is very excited to reopen this year, and is getting ready to announce their opening date. The park posted a letter from their CEO that mentions six new attractions geared for the park's youngest guests.
Six Flags Darien Lake has already announced that they will reopen to their guests on May 21st, and The Great Escape will open even earlier on May 1st.

The event promises to be "once-in-a-lifetime" in terms of seeing some "jaw-dropping" vehicle art displays, muscle cars, hot rods, low riders and mini trucks - plus other vehicles like motorcycles and watercraft.
