Niles: Lack of new attractions coming to California theme parks in 2024 is COVID’s legacy

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 08:22:57 GMT

Next year is shaping up to be an unusual one for California theme parks and their fans. It also shows that — nearly four years after its start — the theme park industry continues to feel the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.The spring and summer of 2024 promise the thinnest line-up of major new rides at California theme parks in more than a decade. We won’t have one open until Tiana’s Bayou Adventure premieres at Disneyland sometime late in the year. The only new coaster that fans will be getting will be a kiddie coaster at Knott’s Berry Farm when its revamped Camp Snoopy debuts Memorial Day weekend.At least preschoolers and early-elementary-aged theme park fans will have a good summer vacation in 2024, with the new Camp Snoopy and a rethemed Dino Valley land scheduled to open at Legoland California in the spring. For older fans, though, the biggest thing happening in the first half of the year will be a corporate merger — as the parents of Knott’s Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mou...

NFC playoff picture: Can the 49ers stay NFC’s No. 1 seed?

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 08:22:57 GMT

Now comes the part nobody on the 49ers will talk about.How to best navigate the last four games of the season to get into the postseason not only with the home-field advantage, but as healthy as possible?Kyle Shanahan will tell you publicly there is nothing to navigate. You take each week as it comes, those cleared medically will play and that’s the end of the story.He probably even believes it.But with four weeks to go, and the 49ers talented enough to win all four, there’s also a priority placed on getting their best players into what he calls “the tournament” at somewhere close to their peak.That means being careful with defensive tackle Arik Armstead, who has ankle and knee issues and who probably isn’t needed when the 49ers (10-3) visit 3-10 Arizona Sunday. Or cornerback Charvarius Ward, who departed a 28-16 win over Seattle early and didn’t return.Then there are the statistical dilemmas of getting some rest for guys such as Christian McCaffr...

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 08:22:57 GMT

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Ten years ago, as Michigan’s Republican-led Legislature was on the verge of passing one of the nation’s most restrictive anti-abortion laws at the time, a 42-year-old state senator from East Lansing took to the Senate floor to speak out against what she knew was about to happen.Minutes into her speech, Democrat Gretchen Whitmer tossed aside her prepared remarks and revealed for the first time publicly that she had been raped while attending college. Had she become pregnant, Whitmer said, she would not have been able to afford an abortion under the proposed law.The bill, which Whitmer had derisively called “rape insurance” because it required women to declare when buying health insurance whether they expected to receive an abortion, passed anyway. But Whitmer, now in her second term as Michigan’s governor after winning reelection by nearly 11 percentage points in 2022, this week removed the requirement from state law with the stroke of a pen after Michigan...
