About FirstDrop News

FirstDrop News is an independent publication covering theme parks and themed entertainment worldwide, including Universal, Disney, Six Flags, and regional and international destinations.

Our coverage includes official announcements, construction progress, attraction openings, and industry developments. When we report on unconfirmed information, we clearly distinguish speculation from verified news.

FirstDrop News is led by Jeanpierre Florent, the Southern California based creator behind JPLAND21, a theme park community of more than one million subscribers on YouTube and over one hundred thousand followers on Instagram. Our reporting is grounded in regular firsthand park visits.

Every story is written by Jeanpierre Florent as part of the FirstDrop News Team. Our crowd calendar provides daily crowd forecasts to help readers plan their visits, and our weekly newsletter, The Rope Drop Report, delivers the biggest stories of the week every Tuesday.

FirstDrop News is an independent outlet and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any park operator.
