    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    I went to Gardaland past summer and this is theming-wise a very beautiful park. The Jumanji darkride is very nice. But I won't return to this park in the next decade. The Magic Mountain (Python Efteling copy) was enjoyable until the last turn. There was a giant kink in the track which gave my...

    RideOnBlog shared a lot of pictures on their website about all new improvements for the 2023 season. https://www.rideonblog.com/vor-ort/phantasialand/2023/phantasialand-saisonstart-2023 I see some amazing changes: upgrades through the whole Berlin area, Deep in Africa and Mexiko. Plus, the...

    Toverland's Expansion Plan

    The caption from the article says: "This week, family droptower Dragonwatch is taking shape. 🤩🏗️ This is how, as we speak, the gigantic platforms are attached to the drop tower at a height of 27 meters." It was posted this morning. Nick Ringelberg posted some new drone pictures...

    Themepark Magic shared some pictures yesterday of the themed structure for the parachute tower Dragon Watch. It's been assembled at the park, behind the Fenix station building. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0anL2tICl/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

    I hope so. I find it more interesting to talk about Phantasialand's yearly small construction sites and make predictions about it than to look at projects that are out in the open. I can't wait for the next big project to suddenly pop up, so we can discuss in detail every small update for the...

    @CSLKennyNI A new exit would be irrelevant imo bc of the existing emergency exit in the cave but it's possible. Maybe some people don't notice this doorway or don't dare to use it? I also can't believe that all the changes around the lifthill building and bridge are theming-wise only. I don't...

    Well, it seems to be an addition. On Instagram 'Phantasialand Club' shared some picture of the construction. A steel structure stands in the middle of the pathway. If it stays there, I'm curious what the purpose of this will be. 😳 That new passage next to the cave is also interesting. There...

    This report gives a nice look at the construction of the new attractions:

    Toverland's Expansion Plan

    I want to see that first. With a Top Spin like Talocan you don't choose to go upside down 11 times. With a Sky Fly you choose whether you go over or not. So the consideration I have is whether visitors want to do the attraction without making inversions because then the waiting time can...

    I just wonder what the capacity of the Sky Fly attraction is? If I roughly make a calculation myself, I come to this: One ride cycle takes about 2 to 3 minutes (add 1 to 2 minutes in/out per ride, so 3 to 5 minutes per cycle. In that case, min. 12 to max. 20 cycles can take place in an hour...

    New post from Toverland. It says: The fog is slowly lifting.

    Toverland's Expansion Plan

    To compare: Mystery Castle is 65 m tall. The article says "a meters high plateau will be realized on which the attraction will stand. The max. height is 29 m." That's nor even half of the length of MC. It also says: "from the attraction, visitors will see coastertrains passing by" so I don't...

    1. I still think a flat ride in the helix is possible. They now have a month to build foundations etc. before Halloween starts. Toverland closes after Halloween for 3 weeks from November 7 to November 25, and reopens on Saturday, November 26. That means building for 3 weeks without Fenix being...

    And the first pictures of the 2 building sites in Avalon appeared on our "favorite Dutch site". 😅 The first site is next to The Flaming Feather on that 2nd pond, where Looopings assumes the Parachute Tower will be built. The second place where they started digging is in the middle of the helix...

    Since DiA's retheming in 2018 I thought the wooden structure in the monkey rock (which functions as the monkey's mouth) is a door opening. Could there be a staircase inside the rock leading to the mouth and makes it a possible place for the slide?

    Let's say they are not goals to achieve, but goals to strive for. 😉

    It's so crazy to think about the fact that this fantastic designer lived here in Flanders in the small village next door while his biggest creations can be found across the German border. Phantasialand has following quote on a wall next to their desks: "Phantasialand doesn't raise the bar...

    I assume they will tackle Chinatown first. The Crazy bats site is bigger, more complex, more expensive and you have to start from 0. In China Town with Geister Rikscha and FJP, the underground hall will most likely be preserved (it will be expanded at most). I think a total renovation of China...
