The park will make two changes to the iconic Avenue of Flags in 2024. Utah and Minnesota legislatures have both passed legislation changing their respective state flag designs. The new Utah flag was installed on March 9, while Minnesota's will be installed May 11. Utah’s new flag will centrally feature a beehive. Minnesota’s will have colors representing the shape of the state and the numerous lakes which comprise that state.
