Another day, another likely Gerstlauer coming to a Compagnie des Alpes park. In a column in the ”Parc & Loisirs” magazine from earlier this month, it was confirmed that the chain has big plans to continue expanding the park after Mahuka’s opening. This includes a new family attraction for the...

The layout for the ”100% Wolf” Gerstlauer coaster has been revealed: The layout will start off by the lake and run into a booster lift hill before diving into an indoor cave section, ending with a twisted spike before a transfer track returns the train to the station. Very Wakala-esque...

Hansa-Park has put out their own construction documentary on the ”Best Kept Secret” project. Shows off recent progress on the concrete building as well as more hints on what is to come. This month’s newsletter also comes with more images:

As of this past Sunday Merli is still not finished. The ride itself appears done, but the queue and entrance area still needs work. Picture taken by me.

We are through the looking glass and have entered the realm of desperation.

And thus marks the end of the S&S Thrust Air model

To be honest, over the past few years, I’ve grown to resent queues like never before. Some of that may be post-covid trauma, but it’s definitely been as a result of an increased lack of patience with being around large, loud crowds for very long. Crowded areas and walkways is something I can...

Based on the average queue times from this past weekend, probably not enough.

It's supposed to be a salt dome. That's why they've placed the tall trees and the water tower in front of the drop to de-emphasize its height. I have found between Fantasy Springs and Tiana that whoever Disney hires to shoot and edit these "official" POVs is doing a really poor job at...

Apparently the missing effects on SeaWorld Orlando's Journey to Atlantis are slowly being restored?

A new construction update shows the Vekoma Beat It flume coming along well. There's also some strange brown Vekoma track that's shown up on site. It's reminiscent of Big Bear Mountain's track but there are added support ties for what I assume would be wooden beams? Source:

Kinda wish they didn't skimp on the vegetation around the coaster track given it's supposed to have a tropical theme. Kondaa looks similarly barren in places. Ride itself looks great tho. The double-down before the corkscrew looks legit.

Amazonia is back open now. The inconspicuous bumper in the halfpipe has apparently been removed, and the weight limit of 400 kilos per boat still applies. Intamin allegedly tried to use the extended closure to resolve the weight issue, but the park decided that having the ride open with limited...

The damage seems to have been limited to this specific area with the fire luckily not spreading any further. Everything that was there was completely destroyed, though. Source: https://jv.dk/billund/stoerre-omraade-er-braendt-ned-i-legoland-det-er-en-trist-dag-for-os-allesammen EDIT: Based...

It's the same layout as Orkanen/Dragonflier, but for whatever reason the length on RCDB is listed as one meter longer (454m). Seems like an oversight on Duane's end since the park lists it as 453m.

According to insiders to Looopings, Efteling is looking to end the Raveleijn stunt show as early as January 2025 (their contract with Puy du Fou was supposed to last until 2026). The plan is to do away with the arena and turn it into a new themed area featuring shops, restaurants, and a...

The ”Journey to Rulantica” theater is set to close this coming Sunday to make way for the 2025 attraction.

Plopsa has confirmed the Werewolf-themed Gerstlauer family coaster and has shared official concept art: The layout will be heavily based on Wakala (chain lift, second booster lift hill, reverse spike), be 760 meters long, and is set to open next year. The coaster will be situated between Sky...

Character and parade performers at the Disneyland Resort have voted to be represented by the Actors’ Equity Association, with the ”Yes” side receiving nearly 79% of the vote.

Gröna Lund has taken the step to ban bags and other luggage being brought into the park on concert days. This comes as a request from the Swedish police due to heightened terror alert in the country, making Gröna Lund a comparable target to sports arenas and other large event venues. Medical and...
