For this week, instead of the zip-line, alpine slide and alpine coaster, participants have a special opportunity to join in what has been coined as "America`s Freedom Festival". Enjoy various patriotic activities. Learn about our founding fathers and the freedom we enjoy through song and performances. Wander through a historic Colonial Village and participate in period games and activities. Experience the "Freedom Walk", symbolically following the same path immigrants took. Go to "Ellis Island" and take your oath to become a US citizen. Then print your own copy of the Declaration of Independence on an authentic replica of Benjamin Franklin`s press. Experience America`s Freedom Festival Grand Parade and, in VIP seating, join other patriotic fans for the "Stadium of Fire" concert and the largest fireworks display west of the Mississippi.
