Leisure Expert Group (formerly Jora Entertainment) have released some pictures of their work in the queue line - and it's fantastic!

Looks great! Out of interest, are Jora Entertainment and Jora Vision the same company?
Lofty

No, they split a few years ago into 'Jora Vision' and 'Jora Entertainment', and then Jora Entertainment went under, becoming 'Leisure Expert Group'. Most of their senior staff stayed the same.

Yeah, that's what I meant by 'went under', that's why they split the businesses.

After Mystery River last year; Movie Park has announced their other major water ride is now being refurbished for this season!
The park is already opening in May a new mini Paw Patrol themed area 'Adventure Bay' in their Nick Land, and a new Loony Tunes 4D film is being added this year.
However they have just revealed on their social media sites that their popular Bermuda Triangle dark water ride where guests enter a volcano and all sorts of weird alien **** is inside is being renovated and renamed. This summer guests can travel back to the 1950s and experience "Area 51 - Top Secret".
As part of our long-term quality strategy, Movie Park Germany has exciting new items in its luggage. In the summer, a classic shines in new splendour: the water attraction "Bermuda Triangle" is re-themed. The popular ride, which is unique in Europe with its dimensions and mix of darkride and waterway, is embroiled in a new story around the mysterious Area 51 on Groom Lake in the Nevada desert. "The water attraction is one of the oldest rides in the park and at the same time the most popular. Many of our long-standing visitors have also wished for a new edition. Just in time for the hot summer, we will offer our guests the right refreshment with 'Area 51 - Top Secret', "says Manuel Prossotowicz (Director Marketing & Sales) with a wink.
Visitors can look forward to a musical identity specially composed by IMAscore as well as numerous effects. Idea and concept come from the own creative department of the Movie Park Germany, which developed these in close co-operation with the team of IMAmedia. Thematically it goes back to the 50s. The military area around the Area 51 is a big secret to the population, rumors about supernatural life forms at Groom Lake are loud. To increase transparency, the US government invites the public to an open house on the military base. How much truth is behind the rumors and what secrets of Groom Lake otherwise holds, visitors can find out on the mysterious journey itself. Until June, the attraction will be closed due to the costly renovations and refurbishments. The opening is planned before the summer holidays.

IMAscore themselves have now confirmed their involvement (not that there was any doubt about that).
Plus the park have stated that the volcano exterior will be redressed to look like a mountain in the Nevada desert.
EDIT:
The park have also released a teaser trailer.

The old Ice Age dark ride which has been SBNO since 2016 is being finally removed. Company
Could possibly a sign that a new 2021 attraction is on its way? Will be interesting to see whether they stick with a family dark ride or do something different with the building.
BST Becker Sanierungstechnik GmbH posted on their website that since November they have been working to entirely rip out the interior of the showbuilding - but the building will remain standing. After fans picked up on this the post has been since removed.

In their press release for the 2020 season MPG announced that their new for last year Paw Patrol area will be expanded with another flat ride and that their SLC MP Express will be rethemed to "Lucky Luke - The Ride: The Daltons Break Out".
The park will also be opening a new interactive laser walkthrough attraction in Studio 7 (former home of their Walking Dead Breakout Maze) during the season.
A Dunkin Donuts food outlet will also be added to the park. The toilets across the park are to be renovated and themed throughout the year; and more shade added to queue lines with Nick Land taking priority. Plus another 150 metres of Bandit are being retracked. bringing the total up to 3/4 of the ride have worked on over recent years.
And to finish they tease the major addition for 2021 (presumably in the old Ice Age showbuilding).

That thing needs retheming to a pile of scrap metal really.
Still, at least they are doing something with it, it's really weird at the moment how the whole park is really nicely themed and laid out, then there is this completely unthemed SLC out on its own at the edge of the park.
