Small News From The Theme Park Industry

Liseberg is opening a Huss Breakdance 5 dubbed Kraftverket (”The Power Plant”) in 2025. The ride will be tucked underneath Valkyria’s turnaround next to the southern park entrance, where the former ”Sagolandet” dark ride used to be located.

Had a conversation with Chad Miller about it today. Park owners would like to retire, they’re hoping they can help sell the coaster rather than see it be torn down. Would probably cost around $3.6 million to relocate all things considered, a solid million or so less than if it were brand new.
 
A rider's lapbar on Desert Storm at Castles and Coasters opened as the coaster climbed the lift hill. The quick-thinking guest managed to get out of the car onto the catwalk just before the train crested the hill. As he walked down to the station he was met by the ride operator, who he told that his lapbar opened and she yelled "I told you to check it." WTF!

Sorry for triple post, but as they are all on very different subjects in different countries it seemed easier for people to be able to reply to individual topics :)

Happy Valley Shenzhen has announced a swing launch coaster which will take the spot of the parks now defunct Vekoma SLC,

Hard to tell from this image alone but i suspect it will be a Jinma LSM ride.

Not sure if this counts as ”small” news, but courtesy of parkfans.net plans have leaked for a large resort hotel to be built in front of Universal Studios Hollywood’s main entrance:

Universal Studios Hollywood Projects 515 & 294: New Resort & Security Overhaul

As originally found by Theme Park Wizard on Twitter, NBCUniversal has filed three permits today: for an 11 story hotel structure east of the property. https://twitter.com/ParkWizar1/status/1653557739564732416 I have also done checks and can confirm it's legitimacy.

"Verder zal het aquapark in 2025 een groot buitenzwembad openen."
"Furthermore, the water park will open a large outdoor swimming pool in 2025."

Looks like a fairly pool-y sized hole

I don't know how they will do this, because they don't have a lot of free space left.
There is only the entrance plaza, the Citywalk, some parking spaces and next Hollywood Drive.
Yes, i've seen the concept art, but I don't understand where they want to leave all the people waiting for their checkin into the park.
