Today’s Monday in the Parks theme park update reveals recent changes to the Disneyland Resort as well as new attraction announcements at Universal Studios and Six Flags Magic Mountain.

First up California Adventure, where David “Darkbeer” Michael details the launch of the High School Musical 3 rolling stage show. Then off to Disneyland for a description of the already very popular Pixie Hollow meet and greet. Children of all ages are in for a treat with the most highly themed of the Disney meet and greet locations. You’ll be shrunken down to the size of a fairy so you can interact with Tinker Bell and her fairy friends.
But there is even bigger news this week from other local parks. Six Flags Magic Mountain has announced “Terminator: The Coaster” which promises to “combine innovative thrill ride technology with the signature science fiction punch of the Terminator brand.” The planned ride will be a 2,850 ft long wooden roller coaster.
And over at Universal Studios Hollywood, comes the announcement of what sounds like a blockbuster new attraction designed to raise the bar on theme park attractions. The new “Transformers” ride will open in 2011 at both the Hollywood and Singapore parks and will employ “3D-HD media, mega special effects and stunning robotics with a ride system that will transform perceptions of theme park experiences.”
A big week for Southern California theme parks.
