I love finding something weird and this ticks all my boxes, This is the recently opened Roller Coaster at Gohar Park near Sirjan in Iran and it's like nothing I've seen before. Featuring B&M style box track, a vertical loop and a watersplash, the ride was built by Iranian company Shadi Sazan...

This one seems to have swept under the radar. Some detective work at park fans has dug up the plans for SFNEs new 2025 coaster and it seems like a decent addition for them. An Intamin family launch straddle coaster not unlike Juvelen, Jet Rescue and their ilk The ride will sit on the site...

Seems GCI has released a ton of new concept to a in the current issue of Amusement Today. And there's some doozys in there. As usual these are just concepts used to advertise to parks so I wouldn't necessarily expect to see these exact rides anywhere (with perhaps the exception of the compact...

Not theme park news as such as its an individual Ferris Wheel like the London Eye but its such an eye catching design that thought it was worth sharing. Standing at a rather tall 180m (590ft) and situated on top of a 40m (130ft) building the twin tracked "Seoul Twin Eye" has been unveiled as...

In one of the weirder bits of news recently, while starting construction of a new park in the Chinese city of Luoyang the ever busy Fantawild has uncovered hundreds of ancient tombs. Which as you might imagine has delayed the project somewhat. Local authorities are currently carrying out...

Note: Before we dive in I dont have a conclusive answer for this but its been an interesting bit of research for me so thought I'd put some notes down on here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This has been an...

Bit of a left field post here but i always feel this is somethings that relatively unknown (and should be more known about) and it's also something that is so high on my theme park bucket list I should shout about it more. Yomiuriland in Tokyo has started their annual Illumination event, Called...

This can probably be filed under the never gonna happen section of new parks but worth a thread anyway Legend Land is a new park announced for Zagreb in Croatia. The list of rides in the website is genuinely insane including and Intamin LSM, a hyper coaster and yes an actual Aquatrax...

Seems this has gone a bit under the radar. But Futuroscope have announced their 2024 ride as the first installation of Macks interesting looking rocking boat ride system. The ride called Mission Bermuda will have a number of show scenes and I guess by the long straight section a proper drop...

The original Happy Valley park located in Shenzhen has announced a large expansion of the park. This continues the recent renovation of the wild west area and replacement of their mine train coaster (and closure of their aging SLC) The area themed to an IP I have no idea about which appears to...

I've recently been going through some old photo and realised i never posted a TR. So 4 years late here is my Pre Covid trip around Asia. Park 1: Happy Valley Beijing The main reason to fly out to Asia was to go and visit some friends. My old uni housemate was at the time serving in the British...

Anyone remember those insane concept art images of a giraffe hotel meant for Chimelong's 3rd park heading to Qingyuan north of Guangzhou? Well like many Chinese parks this one had a 2021 opening planned that silently slipped away with no news. I believe what actually happened is the delay with...

Japan has an interesting history of hosting huge world and local expositions over the years. Many of which hosted small amusement parks with coasters. It's something we did in the UK way back at the start of the 20th century with numerous Scenic Railway type rides going from those Expos to...

Wasnt sure if this should go on a coaster forum, however it is basically a giant stand alone amusement park attraction and its pure ridiculousness needed talking about 🤣 Not content with just a few giant mega projects that will stall half way through and become huge white elephants sat empty...

Some concept art and construction photos from a new park by OCT, the owners of the Happy Valley and Visionland parks in China. This is Dinosaur Dream Works (恐龙梦工厂) in Huangshi and the concept art shows a new...
