Oh wow wasn’t expecting this to reopen with the hydraulic launch intact. Brilliant news.

Ah ok my mistake I thought this was for next season. Still hope this isn’t a Spinball replacement though, there is a pretty large empty plot where they do the character meet and greets, hopefully it’s going there.

This seems very late in the day to be submitting applications for a new coaster to open next year? The pessimist in me suspects did Spinball need some unexpected closed season repairs so they are getting rid and putting in a new kiddies coaster in its place? Hope i’m wrong.

An interesting development, no idea how true this rumour is but would show a big statement of intent if Universal have pinched one of Disneyland Paris top imagineers to work on this project.

Forget the hill, that cliff drop is absolutely insane. I cannot wait to see this thing testing.

Big Nemesis claw with an SBF drop tower going into it.

We lost the red waterfalls but gained green fountains 🥲

I would assume that motion table is going to be a motion simulator with screens which will make the ride time seem much longer.

It's bitter sweet when Disney keep announcing new attractions but at the expense of existing ones. Sucks to be losing Muppet Vision, WDW is on 27,000 acres, it's not like they don't have any space to expand without removing things. I really hope they move it into the Magic Eye theatre in Epcot.

So there isn't a backwards facing row it has rotated and placed on top of a concrete platform, so one row will face towards The Blade and the other towards Galactica. I guess this is the main reason for creating the concrete platform or one row would have just faced towards the trees behind.

I do agree but I view it as them undoing the bad decisions that were made previously. Nemesis Sub Terra should never have closed, Ripsaw should have been replaced rather than just removed and the whole Retro Squad was just strange and cheapened the areas. Albeit 10 years later than it should...

The Top Spin has arrived on site. Can see on this video from 7mins

Well with Ferrari Land currently only being open on weekends Fury 325 holds the record Mon-Fri [emoji23]

That is a good point, I would guess the Sonic IP is now unattainable since 2020 and the huge success of the Sonic the Hedgehog movies. Merlin dropped the ball by using the IP in 2009 for just a quick retheme of Spinball Whizzer.. That IP deserves it's own land and they could have ridden off the...

That steep drop off the cliff top is going to be something special. Does it crest the 600ft hill using only gravity? Or does it hit some LSMs to launch it along the way?

You would think they would just close BTM at the same time they start construction on the new cars land? It is going to be closed for a year to reopen inside a construction site in 2026?

Jealous of those water dummies that get to experience that first drop with a sped up lift hill [emoji23]
