New rides @ small parks

, the first couple of swings look quite fun, the 5 mins + it seems to take to stop after that look extremely tedious.
It's one thing if it were in a park like a kiddie cred, but would you or @Peet really pay €7 for one ride on that?!

I gather from a few people who've been there in the last 10 days that 'Funland' in Weston Super Mare have replaced their three creds with... ANOTHER three creds.
I've noticed RCDB has been updated to reflect this and @Rollercoaster David may be able to tell us more

Hunderfossen Familiepark in Norway (the one with Il Tempo Extra Gigante) appears to be building a new attraction.
However, I'm confused about what the hardware actually is here. The name suggests a thrill attraction, but it appears to be a 4D cinema of sorts.
The theme is the same IP as Il Tempo Extra Gigante: the Norwegian franchise "Flåklypa" based on the works of author Kjell Aukrust, which resulted in the Norwegian hit movie Flåklypa Grand Prix in 1975. It cannot be overstated how popular this franchise is in Norway (particularly the original movie, which sold more movie tickets domestically than the population of Norway during its cinematic run), but it remains fairly obscure elsewhere.
So, uh, I guess it will be of limited interest to international audiences, but Hunderfossen tends to cater to a domestic audience anyway. If any CFers were to venture up there to ride it I'd be glad to accompany them and do my best to explain, although a movie night featuring Flåklypa Grand Prix (which has been dubbed into English) might be in order first.

I'm delighted about this. Not just for the credonomics of having to drive down for Camel Creek's +2, but also because I can tie in to a night out/DJing in Bristol when everything opens fully.

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but Screamer from Scandia Amusement Park that closed in 2019 was sold to Traders Village in Grand Prairie, Texas. The Prairie Screamer, the tallest E&F Miler Industries Hi-Miler, will open this fall.
Here's the full press release:
Here's an old POV for those that aren't familiar with the ride.
I also asked Duane to add it to RCDB - https://rcdb.com/19262.htm

It appears that Raptor Attack is getting relocated to Cotaland, a small amusement park next to the F1 circuit in Austin, Texas.

...when you go on RCDB and see *two* new credits showing up in Texas....but realize both are relocations and credits you already have.

I heard about [Casino Pier]'s new SBF big air some time ago, it was supposed to debut first at IAAPA 2020 (which obviously didn't happen) before being sent to the park. Can't remember the source right now, this was around mid-2020.
