WHISTLE STOP
Whistle Pig Vail is back for
its sophomore year in the
Rockies, rewarding music lovers
with a summer-long run of
headliner concerts at the Gerald
R. Ford Amphitheater. The
series brings celebrated rock,
pop, country, and bluegrass
bands with intergenerational
appeal for shows from June
through September. For the
curious, “whistle pig” is a
nickname for a type of marmot
or woodchuck that gets its
moniker from its high-pitched
whistle when alarmed.While
they’ve been spotted around the
amphitheater for years, they will
probably hightail it underground
during the shows.
Kick up the exhilaration
factor with two new rides at
Williamsburg’s theme parks:
At Busch Gardens, admire
the view from 80 feet above
ground while swinging higher
and higher as Finnegan’s
Flyer’s pendulum-style
arms propel you back and
forth at 45 mph. And, at
Water Country USA, Busch
Gardens’ sister park, check out
the CutbackWater Coaster,
a jet-propelled slide featuring
four-person rafts that drop
through steep 850-foot-long
winding tunnels in between
saucer-like open spaces.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
SENSORY TRAVEL MAGIC
Kind Heaven is a virtually immersive encounter unlike
anything else on The Strip, and will welcome its first
audiences at The Linq Promenade late this sum-
mer. Co-created by Jane’s Addiction frontman and
Lollapalooza co-founder Perry Farrell, this 360-degree,
multisensory entertainment venture transports visi-
tors to the many worlds of Southeast Asia, allowing
them to see, hear, touch, taste, and even smell their
voyage. The masterminds behind the attraction have
designed special effects and wearable technologies to
create customized journeys for each guest. The expe-
rience shifts from day to night — by day, holograms
and animated animals will leave kids in awe as they
learn about new cultures, and at night, Kind Heaven
transforms into an adult playground, complete with
nightclubs, street performers, and sake bombs.
