Small News From The Theme Park Industry

Apparently Blue Bayou / Dixie Landin in Baton Rouge has closed permanently after only one week of operating for the 2025 season.

Park was meh back in 2012 and I never felt the need to return. Guess nobody else did either. 🤷‍♂️

A company called Magic Tecture has introduced "coaster in a box" coasters they hope to sell to people for their gardens, announcement video below.

Having a look the basic model with a car will set you back $195,000 before shipping, the vehicles are self propelled and layouts are quite compact but you can get a custom unique layout if you want.

2-3 people required to build as it comes flat packed in shipping containers.

Here is a POV of one of their custom coasters.


So, who's going to get one? 😁

Movie Park Germany has begun experimenting with single rider queues for Studio Tour and Jimmy Neutron’s Atomic Flyer. This currently isn’t being advertised outside of a sign out front, and it’s unclear if the park plans to expand this system to other attractions.

Toutatis at Parc Asterix is currently closed. Translation of the announcement...

TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF TOUTATIS

Dear visitors,

A disruption in the power grid caused a technical problem on the Toutatis attraction, which is currently temporarily closed.

Our technical teams and those of the manufacturer Intamin are carrying out the necessary operations to ensure its return to operation.

We are doing everything possible to ensure a recovery as quickly as possible and thank you for your understanding.

On paper doesn't sound like a major issue, but this type of announcement usually would indicate a prolonged closure
 
Police responded to Wiener Prater on Saturday night after a man sustained injuries in a knife attack. Paramedics treated the man on the scene for stab wounds to his leg before transporting him to a local hospital for further treatment. Witnesses were not able to give investigators relevant details about the incident, and the victim said he did not know the person who attacked him. Source (in German)
 
Elitch Gardens, a key asset in Denver's River Mile development, will continue operations under the new ownership of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. KSE plans to maintain and enhance the park as a major summer attraction, drawing over a million visitors annually. Source
 
Very little (if anything) mentioned about it from the park, but Black Mamba at Phantasialand has been closed since Monday 9th June and they were erecting scaffolding and had cherry pickers around parts of the ride yesterday.

Apparently there was weather related damage to the rockwork after recent storms/heavy rain and they have been removing parts of the rockwork in difficult to access places . Also some speculation on a German forum that parts of the rockwork was just layered on top of the previous rockwork when it was redone and the bond between the layers is failing.
