Is 104 too wide for the park, anyone ski it in the park with thoughts on it?

No, it’s not too wide for park. Maybe not ideal but not too wide.

What’s the pros and cons of a wide park ski?

Heavier swing weight is the primary con. Pro, you have more plastic surface to slide on vs a skinnier ski with edges closer to each other.

I ski them as my usual park ski. A lot of fun on jumps, really great for surface swaps, and obviously a lot of fun ripping around the mountain. No real complaints.

But, they are both wide, really rockered, and kind of soft, so they sort of suck on ice or really hard snow, and slower to spin than anything narrower. The buttering makes up for it tho

Unless your throwing mad swaps and dub 10s, you should be fine with a slightly bigger ski

I daily drive Vishnu Wides in the park. 104mm waist width is totally fine, but you'll definitely succumb to buttering way more than trying to spin as much as possible.
