    Chessington World of Adventures holding public consultation regarding “current proposals and new developments” - potential new attraction?

    This Twitter post - I've discovered it over on the Legoland Florida thread - confirms this will indeed go forward as initial plans suggested. So no Minecraft for Legoland Florida.

    Legoland China | Shanghai | Theme Park

    Main difference seems to be a different position of the helix in the south. Edit: It seems the master plan from back in 2021 already showed the current layout rather than that from shown concept art from 2022. Source via ThemeparX

    Chessington World of Adventures holding public consultation regarding “current proposals and new developments” - potential new attraction?

    It says in the permits the outdoors section would make up roughly a quarter of the track, so I didn't expect that much more, to be honest. The section before the first launch seems to be a dark ride section. If that's well executed, this could still turn out pretty solid. Edit: Concerning...

    Chessington World of Adventures holding public consultation regarding “current proposals and new developments” - potential new attraction?

    It doesn't draw in the crowds that California does. However, they have seen the biggest investment of any Legoland park in recent years (including world premieres for Lego Movie World and Peppa Pig Theme Park) so Merlin definitely sees some potential here. Given the popularity of the Minecraft...

    Legoland Windsor Future Developments

    Isn't this literally the same speed and intensity as the Zierer Dragon coasters at the other LEGOLAND parks?

    Legoland Windsor Future Developments

    I'm pretty pleased. There's a lot of design elements they have never used (the studs on the rooflines and atticas, the green roofs, the 3d planks, the sculpted trees look amazing) and overall, there seems to be more variety in terms of typologies and room types than I had expected.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I'm pretty happy with what we get to see. My biggest concern was that it may not feel like a "massive" coaster with it being only four rows. Ride vehicles at Lost Gravity always feel way too short and light to feel substantial to me, it's almost as if they were sending you off in a wild mouse...

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    It's Mack. And this is a 5 billion + dollar investment they are making here. I highly doubt they have to be cheap when choosing their trains.

    Poseidon’s Fury @ Islands of Adventure closing May 10th, making room for ”new experiences”

    So I guess that's confirmation for Zelda then. Why else would they have taken it down? That's huge news!

    Turns out I was right, after all, lol. I think the project deserves its own thread, though.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Well, I do enjoy the boldness of the font. And I do enjoy how the font and the colour palette both scream 1979 to me, which is a nice nod to the park's roots. That's what's really bothering me about this.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Merlin have just announced what sounds like a mere retheme of and some new ride vehicles for the Safari and Fairytale Brook. A "reimagined" Dino Dig Area will feature Meet & Greats. The rethemed land will be called Dino Valley and will open in spring 2024. So it seems that the 2025 project went...
