This is happening this week in Spain ; so there will (one assumes) be a few industry announcements incoming amongst all the sales-pitches / marketing bumff that will come out of it.

Anyway ; the show guide can be found here ; https://issuu.com/leisuremedia/docs/eas_2016

From experience, not many major announcements are made at EAS as most parks save them for IAAOA. However, Europa Park are making an announcement about now "Project V", which is rumoured to be a water park. Although a big coaster would go down better!

The sign "We are building a water park" is standing next to the road that leads to Europa-Park for at least a year now, that's no rumour anymore, and is not Project V as well As people expected, Project V is a flying theater, as this video confirms.
