    New Ride for Chessington in 2016?

    Samurai is coming back :P in all seriousness, I wouldn't expect anything major, pretty much any flat ride will bring some life back to the park.

    Tivoli Gardens - Trip Report & Photos

    Tivoli Gardens – 27th July Hej! So last week I visited Denmark for the first time along with the famous Tivoli Gardens. It seems I didn’t take masses of photos there so this will be quite a light trip report. I was surprised by how central the park is in Copenhagen, you can see the Starflyer...

    Shanghai, China | Shanghai Disneyland | Theme Park

    There have been lots of developments from the official announcement by Bob Iger. This is the first map of the new park: Disney Parks have posted an overview of Tomorrowland whilst Inside the Magic has a number of previews of the various lands and an overview of the model of the whole park...

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Cobra’s Curse | Mack spinning coaster

    Re: Busch Gardens Tampa | Cobra’s Curse | Mack spinning coas Over 3 minutes seems a long ride time, could that include some kind of inside section before the lift, I wonder?

    Longleat 2015

    I shared this on ZooChat (a zoo forum) and they seem to reckon its a dinosaur attraction due to the Jurassic Park reference. Sounds highly likely and something Longleat would invest in.

    Paultons | Raptor/FotP | Vekoma Junior Boomerang/SFC

    Re: Paultons To Build Custom Vekoma Boomerang Fantastic news, great to see them adding new coasters, obviously Peppa Pig land has done wonders for them. Ian, can you give any more info about Stinger, are they getting new cars for it? I assume its just a retheme.

    New S&S Launched El Loco

    If only BGW had gotten one of these instead of another clone. It does look intense but at least brings something different to the market, it seems these compact type of coasters are catching on.

    Paultons 2015

    Yay for another new attraction at Paulton's. It looks like it will be a land combining animals and possibly a play area/trail or something, a bit like what Chessington has done to the monkey area with the new walkways and things. I'm hoping it will see a new ride too, it says under the...

    Good "first upside down coasters?"

    My brothers first upside down cred was Magic Mountain at Gardaland, its a brilliant looper, the restraints are so comfortable, we both loved it. My first upside down cred was at Hayling Island, that wretched gold mine coaster, horrid experience!

    Thorpe Park | Derren Brown's Ghost Train | VR Attraction

    Re: Thorpe Park construction? I'm going to put my bet on a dark ride shooter for 2016, possible a Call of Duty themed one (wasn't that in the survey). Yes another IP one but it would work well with the audience and appeal to teens and also Dads too. It could work Toy Story Midway style with the...

    Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand

    Ah this is bringing back memories from when I traveled to HCMC (I also did Thailand too, so looking forward to that part) I went to the zoo with a friend and ended up not getting that cred. I personally quite like the post office. Did you go to the Pho 24/7 restaurant chain or whatever its...

    Walibi Holland | Lost Gravity | Mack Rides mega coaster

    Re: Walibi Holland to get a Mack coaster for 2016 That statement seems a bit odd, they say they are going for something rather small yet they consulted with B&M, B&M don't do small! Unless they asked each company for a different sort of design. Seems odd to ask B&M for say a wingrider or...

    Thorpe Park | Derren Brown's Ghost Train | VR Attraction

    Re: Thorpe Park construction? Were there not some rumors a while back about a Sub Terra clone at Thorpe? The space they are clearing is next to Inferno, its definitely a possibility. Saying that it could well just be for Fright Nights, time will tell!

    Germany Coaster Tour 2014 (Phantasialand Posted)

    Just caught up on this report, I've been to Hasenhorn! Great alpine coaster, we were staying in the Black Forest and was recommended to us by our hosts. Europa is amazing, we only had a day there, so much to see! Arthur looks incredible, saw the POV a few weeks ago and was really impressed.
