Efteling will add a new display to their fairytale forest next year based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Princess and the Pea", with the setpiece stylized as an annex of the Efteling Grand Hotel serving as its backdrop:

Footers a'plenty have gone up. Looks like the two raptors are going to take up a pretty big area. Source: https://coasterfriends.de/freizeitparkforum/index.php?threads/2025-neuheit-dueling-single-rail-coaster-raptor-track-coaster-rmc-walibi-holland-niederlande.1226023/post-1269198

So there's a report from the Cologne tabloid Express indicating that Geister Ricksha is on its last legs and is looking to be replaced in the near future, and that sources claim Phantasialand has been in contact with Efteling to help design a replacement...

Despite being open until 11 P.M. for most of the summer, Gardaland is now closing the majority of its attractions at 8 P.M. at the latest outside of select dates. This includes even major rides like Oblivion: The Black Hole, Blue Tornado (both of which bafflingly closes at 6 on weekdays), and...

Another day, another likely Gerstlauer coming to a Compagnie des Alpes park. In a column in the ”Parc & Loisirs” magazine from earlier this month, it was confirmed that the chain has big plans to continue expanding the park after Mahuka’s opening. This includes a new family attraction for the...

The layout for the ”100% Wolf” Gerstlauer coaster has been revealed: The layout will start off by the lake and run into a booster lift hill before diving into an indoor cave section, ending with a twisted spike before a transfer track returns the train to the station. Very Wakala-esque...

Hansa-Park has put out their own construction documentary on the ”Best Kept Secret” project. Shows off recent progress on the concrete building as well as more hints on what is to come. This month’s newsletter also comes with more images:

As of this past Sunday Merli is still not finished. The ride itself appears done, but the queue and entrance area still needs work. Picture taken by me.

We are through the looking glass and have entered the realm of desperation.

And thus marks the end of the S&S Thrust Air model

To be honest, over the past few years, I’ve grown to resent queues like never before. Some of that may be post-covid trauma, but it’s definitely been as a result of an increased lack of patience with being around large, loud crowds for very long. Crowded areas and walkways is something I can...

Based on the average queue times from this past weekend, probably not enough.

It's supposed to be a salt dome. That's why they've placed the tall trees and the water tower in front of the drop to de-emphasize its height. I have found between Fantasy Springs and Tiana that whoever Disney hires to shoot and edit these "official" POVs is doing a really poor job at...

Apparently the missing effects on SeaWorld Orlando's Journey to Atlantis are slowly being restored?

A new construction update shows the Vekoma Beat It flume coming along well. There's also some strange brown Vekoma track that's shown up on site. It's reminiscent of Big Bear Mountain's track but there are added support ties for what I assume would be wooden beams? Source:

Kinda wish they didn't skimp on the vegetation around the coaster track given it's supposed to have a tropical theme. Kondaa looks similarly barren in places. Ride itself looks great tho. The double-down before the corkscrew looks legit.

Amazonia is back open now. The inconspicuous bumper in the halfpipe has apparently been removed, and the weight limit of 400 kilos per boat still applies. Intamin allegedly tried to use the extended closure to resolve the weight issue, but the park decided that having the ride open with limited...

The damage seems to have been limited to this specific area with the fire luckily not spreading any further. Everything that was there was completely destroyed, though. Source: https://jv.dk/billund/stoerre-omraade-er-braendt-ned-i-legoland-det-er-en-trist-dag-for-os-allesammen EDIT: Based...

It's the same layout as Orkanen/Dragonflier, but for whatever reason the length on RCDB is listed as one meter longer (454m). Seems like an oversight on Duane's end since the park lists it as 453m.

According to insiders to Looopings, Efteling is looking to end the Raveleijn stunt show as early as January 2025 (their contract with Puy du Fou was supposed to last until 2026). The plan is to do away with the arena and turn it into a new themed area featuring shops, restaurants, and a...
