Funland of Fredericksburg Adds New Rides

  Funland children's amusement park is bringing new and exciting rides to its Virginia location in Fredericksburg.  General manager Clink Novak reports that the pad for the drop tower was poured in December, and now the ride has been installed.

The Joy Is Gone: Joyland Amusement Park Closes for Good

The Joy Is Gone: Joyland Amusement Park Closes for Good

  Announced as closing permanently last fall, Joyland Amusement Park in Lubbock, Texas, quickly appeared to receive a new lease on life. The family-owned park had found last-minute buyers eager to keep the park open. But, unfortunately, that's wasn't the case after all. Joyland owners David and Kristi Dean had announced the park would close and not reopen following the park's 2022 season. There were personal concerns due to health, issues with finding enough staff to successfully run the park post-pandemic, and problems due to area flooding and vandalism. Vandals had even attacked the park after hours on its 50th birthday celebration.But, just in the nick of time, local business owners Jim and Kai Evans and Darryl and Stephanie Holland stepped up to purchase the business with the Deans agreeing to stay on, serving as consultants for the ...   [read more]

  This morning, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it met the FY23 statutory second half H-2B visa cap. February 27th was DHS' final petition receipt date.  While overall visa demand continues to outpace supply, one positive note from this year's filing process is that it appears more Group B applications were filed with DHS prior to the cap than in past years.     CAP RELIEF VISAS FOR RETURNING WORKERS: DHS will begin accepting petitions for the additional 16,500 returning worker visas on March 14th. Per regulation, DHS will accept petitions over a five-day window before determining if a lottery is necessary. We believe a lottery is unlikely and that DHS will thus continue to accept petitions until the supplemental cap is met. We expect most of Group C, Group D and possibly a minority of Group E employers to receive their returning workers from this supplemental visa release. DOL PROCESSING TIMELINEAs of Tuesday, ...   [read more]
