    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    Sorry to double post, but it did look quite cool at night (only just realised I took a photo - one to many at Ooozy Boozy)

    The Return of Nemesis Sub Terra?

    I personally loved Sub-Terra and it makes sense to give some capacity in that area of the park when Nemesis is closed. It wouldn't take to much effort to tweak the storyline and have it run for a couple of years whilst the hype around Nemesis is still there. It certainly looks credible with all...

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    After seeing it in person on Sunday, it feels quite lazy as far as new attraction marketing goes. It just seems so generic, and they could have really had some fun with it. Feels like a bit of the rest of the resort at the moment, churn it out and get home.

    Parc Astérix | Toutatis | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    God this thing is beautiful, why aren't we allowed one in the UK 😭

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    In my opinion (for what it's worth - which isn't much), I think that it would involve a retheme of Edge and Cobra and Magma, and then perhaps an enclosed dark ride or similar. They've had big issues in that area with noise, I'm 20 mins down the road and the battle was on the local news at...

    Phantasialand | Avoras | 2024

    A beautiful addition, imagine how many signs Merlin would need to stick around this thing if it was in the UK.

    Drayton Manor 2022 - New Vikings Area

    Great little video but the music sounds very Universal Halloween Horror Nights - a bit extreme!

    Djurs Sommerland | T-Rex Family Coaster | Mack Powered Coaster | 2022

    I think it will look a lot better when the plants have settled in. I think it looks a bit un-inspiring in comparison to the editions they've had over the past few years, but it's a great looking family coaster so should tick the box for younger guests - and who doesn't love dinosaurs.

    Familypark Neusiedlersee | Die Biberburg (Beaver Lodge) | Intamin Water Ride | 2022

    It looks gorgeous, they've done a seriously good job. When Tiger Falls at Chessington finally kicks the bucket, something like this would be a great replacement.

    WDW Magic Kingdom | Tron Lightcycle Power Run | Vekoma Motorbike Coaster | 2023

    Here's a great video showing some progress from Disney's Facebook page. https://fb.watch/bFR8UDp8dK/

    Walt Disney Studios Park | Avengers Assemble: Flight Force | R'n'RC retheme | 2022

    I can't help but feel this was a huge wasted opportunity to upgrade an ageing roller coaster with something new. It's pretty unremarkable as a ride, and they could have pulled something really impressive out the bag, just seems like a bit waste of capital expenditure. You're basically sticking...

    Taron vs FLY; which Phantasialand launch coaster do you prefer?

    I'm a sucker for the entire experience of F.L.Y, and although Taron is a fantastic roller coaster, the first time I rode F.L.Y was spectacular as you didn't know what to expect (can't watch POV's etc). For me it's my number 1 as I love the whole experience from start to finish 😍

    Gardaland | Jumanji: The Adventure | Unknown | 2022

    €20million should get a fairly decent experience, as they won't be having 'build' the actual building it's going into as that's already there. Although I'm sure the ride system will be taking a fair chunk of that budget (as well as IP costs), there should still be a good chunk for themeing...

    World Fairytale Land | Hainan China | Theme Park

    This place is seriously stunning, it would be an absolute travesty if it wasn't able to open. The amount of effort that's gone into the theming alone is jaw dropping.

    Liseberg | Luna | Vekoma Family Boomerang | 2023

    It looks a great addition for families, and will give that entire area some cohesion which I think it always needed. I'm not the target audience, and it's certainly not something I would rush back for, but with their other lineup of coasters, it will fit perfectly.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I think whatever it is, it's going to be a 'safer' bet. They've been burnt with the likes of DBGT and other 'out there' investments and not seen the return. I think the most plausible outcome will be a slightly more thrilling GCI than Wickerman, but still with a 1.2 or 1.3 restriction, giving...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Okay... is it time to start getting a little bit excited yet? https://themeparkguide.co.uk/news-page/Loggers-Leap-Removal-Begins It appears that Loggers Leap has started to be removed, and it certainly looks like more than just a bit of felling if you ask me...

    Energylandia | Choco Chip Creek | Vekoma Minetrain | 2024

    Very Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 vibes. Hopefully it will look better in person.
