Looks like high quality concept art, it would take someone very talented to fake it. And AI wouldn’t be able to come up with specific ride details, which look like mostly lands/rides from other Universal parks. This person tracked this concept art down to Milton Keynes...

Maybe they’re just going to remove the drop, so that it’s just a safari boat ride.

Intamin also already have a Power Splash rip-off - https://www.intamin.com/product/ultra-splash/ This is just another model, a modernised half-pipe.

It’s… not in the UK

If it’s shallow then it could mean going over it with some speed after the launch, so could be some good airtime.

If they’ve signed a contract, they may not be able to cancel one of the coasters, at least not easily - they may end up sending it elsewhere or going for a different model in a differently location.

It is sped up for the trip from the break run into the station, you can see both the start and end of the sped up section. Can’t see any other definite transitions elsewhere.

A better option might have been two ~20 person standard trains with a Mr Freeze style transfer track.

Legoland parks are as popular as other larger thrill-based parks, but most family rides on offer from manufactures are physically smaller with lower capacities. These B&M Wing coasters will be the largest rides in their respective parks, and will inevitably end up being the most popular, just...

B&Ms are reliable and have high capacities, each individual coaster is still fairly small (though will be the largest at each Legoland park). Kiddie/family coasters generally dont have particularly high capacity, as families/kids are not necessarily the main demographic for most parks - but...

The DK coaster model appears to have triangular track on higher stress areas, as seen below:

Head above the clouds suggests it’s going to be very tall, I reckon they’d want it to become a new major landmark of Blackpool - to do that you’d probably need to be larger than The Big One, but nowhere near the height of the Tower (as large wheels cost a lot). My guess is about ~300ft, put...

Would it be possible to put it outside the park on the promenade, and then charge for a ride separately?

Looks to be a Zamperla Super Twister - https://www.zamperla.com/products/super-twister-coaster/
