I believe the new Zamperla cred has already been shown as a family/kiddie coaster that will interact with a new long flume ride unless im getting confused with something elseKnotts and Triotech to announce new attraction for the park at IAAPA 2019 (see in twitter but easier just to copy the schedule)
IAAPA Expo 2019 Press Conference Schedule | IAAPA - The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions
More Than 35 Announcements Scheduled to Take Place on the Trade Show Floor.www.iaapa.org
Also yay for gwazi car unveiling. Some other interesting sounding things on there as well. Looks like Luna Park (Coney Island) might be getting a new cred as well as new rides from Zamperla.

Sounds like the same thing. Hadn't seen that (or have forgotten about it).

Double post but found some info on the voyage's retrack. Food to hear they take such care with their woodies.

Out with the Old, In with the Smooth | Holiday World
Our maintenance crew is on track with some major upgrades for Voyage. Over 600 feet of the old track is being replaced to ensure smooth voyages in 2020!

See, here's the thing about Voyage's retracking...although I'm grateful that the park puts so much effort into improving their rides, and I'm excited to experience this part of the ride in its silky smooth glory...this wasn't a particularly rough stretch of track. Actually, it was one of the smoother portions of the ride, with each valley on the out run getting worse and worse.

Preview of the retheming of the old village of Walibi Rhônes-Alpes. This area is the oldest in the park and will be completly modified to remove the wab theming and getting the Festival City treatment. It will have new restaurants and they will move the carousel at another place in that area. It's located between Mystic and the Vaudou area and the entrance with the Star Flyer

what seems to be a new inverted powered coaster by Beijing sbl featuring an extreme amount of similarities to Macks inverted powered coaster is this possibly a new knockoff?

LLW to remove the indoor Star Wars Miniland section:
Could be interesting to see what replaces it (and what they do with the models inside).

And that with a new Star Wars movie coming out. Star Wars merch must really be in the toilet now. Very sad but realistically it is from a bygone era most youngsters don't seem to take to anymore.

Or it could be because it's all based on the prequel films that are decades old and none of it is minifig scale so doesn't even lineup with the huge Lego star wars ranges that are coming out every year and are wildly successful.

This article states it is clearly leaving other Legoland parks and the one in California has the locations of the new movies too so I doubt it is only due to the prequel stuff becoming old hat. I reckon all of Star Wars is becoming somewhat old hat due to the lack of new ideas.
Lego Star Wars Miniland display leaving Legoland parks
The Force is calling to you one last time at Legoland parks, as the Lego Star Wars Miniland model is set to be removed. For eight years, millions of Legoland guests around the world have experienced the Star Wars saga through painstaking recreations from seven of the live-action “Star Wars”...

Or it could be because Disney want all the sweet Star Wars money for themselves and have been making it more and more cumbersome to renew licenses until people stopped bothering.
Old hat, the last main films made billions, and the franchise is still hugely lucrative e.g the U.C.S Falcon that sold out

Hate to be the smartass but that's a Mondial Ventura, not a Top Scan.
EDIT: Sidenote but I love the colour scheme

What is the actual difference between the two models?
CrashCoaster
Well-Known Member
One key difference I noticed is that the Ventura seats 6 people per arm instead of 5 like the Top Scan, but apart from that not much?

The biggest change is the removal of the hydraulic system that lifts up the arm away from the floor, removing the need for the ride to lower. This has in turn made it more reliable and speeds up the capacity.

Pretty bad accident in Thailand on a fair ground flat ride. (Article is in Russian)
www.ridus.ru
Looks like a restraints failure on part of the ride as the metal bar releases.
Not posting the video directly as it shows the accident and some may not want to see that.
No one died although people are thrown around and off the ride pretty badly.
Видео: более десятка людей рухнули с аттракциона в парке развлечений
Хотя крушение выглядело жутко, жертв и серьезных травм нет.
