“We are thrilled to be adding MagiQuest to our lineup of new additions to the park for the 2010 season. We are the first theme park to launch an interactive educational family attraction of this type and are confident our guests will enjoy this new attraction the whole family can experience together.”
Expect to see MagiQuest in the County Fair area of the park, which is an area of high construction and expansion for the last couple of years.

So you get the keep the wand and season pass holders get a discount, but come on! Why charge for this? It was not in the release sent out to me!
It all cost down to price, though, and whether the experience provides value at the price charged. And that's up to each visitor to decide.
If you think about it, Great America, for all its flaws, is still a pretty solid park to begin with. With all the SF business going down over the last few years, Great America, along with Great Adventure, have been the exceptions. I think the lack of new rides has to do with SF not wanting to shell out too much dough to make new attractions. They tried with the Dark Knight (which went to SFGAdv too), but it was generally panned.
So lets look at the new stuff going on at SFGA since I have started extensivly covering it starting in 2008:
The Dark Knight Roller Coaster
Coffee and Doughnut Shop
Buccaneer Battle
Glow in the Park
Walk in the Parks Event
Little Dipper Roller Coaster
MagiQuest
Not bad, considering they added Hurricane Harbor and Superman not too much before that.
Could SFGA be better? Yes! Does it stink that this is not free? Yes! But in the big SF picture, SFGA is doing better than the rest.

Also, is this an extra-cost deal or included with the SFGAm ticket? (If it's included, expect it to be very popular.)
