Unfortunately the way they’ve avoided talking about the coaster means you might be rightHopefully we find out something interesting tomorrow, I think it wont be coaster info though
The coaster is the biggest attraction in the new area, it makes sense to announce that last.
The gyro swing is probably the second biggest so it made sense to announce that early to get a lot of early interest. Then gradually announce all the other stuff and then finish with the big coaster announcement.
I'm excited to see what they announce next (hopefully today) and I'm enjoying following this, but I have a five year old daughter who loves Paultons (and first when on FoTP and Velociraptor on her fourth birthday). I'd expect this to be the biggest, most thrilling coaster in the park but only as the next step up from what they've already got.
It seems to me that this new area is to provide something for the older kids to keep them coming back to the park after they have outgrown the existing attractions, not to try and attract older thrill seekers.

Very exciting indeed! Windmill Towers though is a bit of a drab name...would've preferred Junkyard Junction, unless that's gonna be something else

So it could be Jumping Jack and Magma relocated and rethemed maybe. Or just different models

I think the jumping jack was scraped and Magma looks quite different to the blueprint so two new towers are coming.
If it does face you down that will be quite fun, i have not done a drop tower like that before.
Ikarus at Gröna Lund is one of the best drop towers I've ever done. Of course this will be nothing like it, but just saying it's definitely worth a go

Well if rumours are anything to go by then the UK wont have to wait much longer to get an Intamin Sky Jump at a certain ICONic park.

Tbh I was hoping for more than just the drop towers to be revealed at the festival - I thought the rides and drives would reveal what Al’s Auto Academy is.
I think Junkyard Junction is just the new station for the Rio Grande Train but maybe it will be turned into a mini area around the train line.

The original concept art did look similar to Magma but now we’ve seen a more detailed blueprint it cannot be Magma.I'm sorry but the whole idea about Magma being moved into the new area is so ridiculous, Its clearly two smaller drop towers as stated like at Phantasia... Think some people need to be a bit more realistic at times

The original art concept looked nothing like Magma.... The original concept looked exactly like the drop towers at Phantasialand and multiple other parks.
