Guessing this'll be built on the land of the old Sould Park FEC: https://rcdb.com/10208.htm
Same shopping centre. Don't know how much is left of old park but this could be just a retheme of that

Going by satellite images, nothing of the old park still exists. And Babylon will be an indoor FEC whereas the old one was outdoors.

i think the reason they don't buy them is because they don't intend to keep them. be a bit wasteful to buy something and then have to get rid of it after only 2 or 3 seasons. I'm hoping personally by 2024-25 they get replaced by permanent flat rides and I'm desperate for another topspin of some sortWhy don't they just buy one? They're minted and the AT contract probably pays for it in a year anyway.
That being said, there's a technojump at fanny island, maybe it's related to that in some way.

I am going to make a day of trying these out. Very curious if you even feel the difference..
And about 70% of the blue/ water track is replaced as well. At least, that is what's been told to me.
Confused about if the two corners or just one corner will be done. I hear different things on this from out the park. And wondering if in the next three years all will be Titan. Or just replacement of the wood with another type of wood. We'll see.

I could see it getting new trains, but I don't know what else they would do.

A water fountain, more statues, light package, a new bench in front of it, etc. There are loads they can do.

Not sure this has come up on here anywhere else, but the nasty right-wing politicians in charge of nasty right-wing Florida are currently having a pissing-contest with Disney, triggered by Disney (eventually, when pressed by their employees and customers) speaking out against the nasty right-wing politicians policies discriminating against LGBT youth.
Florida lawmakers have stripped Disney of special tax status
Governor Ron DeSantis has taken aim at Disney over its opposition to the so-called Don't Say Gay bill.www.bbc.co.uk

American politics is just horrible, my sympathies to everyone suffering under it.
UK politics is not far behind but we can still save it I think (I hope).
So seemingly the news is now that the nasty right-wing Florida politicians are backing down (presumably having realised the financial consequences of their political grandstanding).

The elections are over so they don't need to pretend to care about Disney anymore

Raik valleyed yesterday. Extremely cold temperatures apparently caused the train to stall during the return trip, and riders had to be evacuated once they came to a complete stop at the bottom. Taron also had to be shut while evacuation on Raik took place, but was back open later in the day. Raik’s train ended up sitting at the bottom of the ravine until it was hoisted back up to the station after the park closed, and the coaster was up and running again as of today.

So apparently Raik wasn't the only Vekoma coaster to valley yesterday, as Booster Bike at Toverland met with a similar fate. Given Toverland's relative proximity to Phantasialand (less than 100 kilometers), similar temperature conditions caused the train to stall before the final set of hills. Toverland is only open on weekends during the winter, and the stalled train is said to be in the process of being towed back to the station, so it should be operating again this coming Saturday.
