Has there been any word on if those trains were sold or hoping to be re-purposed? I like this idea and hope its applied somewhere.

I have some news to share about two rather intriguing unexpected ride closures at Walt Disney World that I just discovered:

- Primeval Whirl at Disney's Animal Kingdom has been closed since 17th June for inexplicable reasons, with no confirmed reopening date.
- Astro Orbiter at Disney's Magic Kingdom has been closed since 12th July, and will be reopening on 15th August.

Sorry to double post, but I just thought I'd share with you all an interesting news article I saw while on Microsoft Edge earlier:
Basically, if you don't want to read the article, it's about a mother who thinks that Disney World should ban guests without children.
What do you guys think?

This is some obscure but pretty sad news. The Formula Pax (clone of the one at Parc Saint Paul) at Central Park in Kaliningrad just suffered a fairly major fire. Destroying the station and the cars it seems. According to the news articles the local authorities are not ruling out Arson.
With such a rare ride type from a company that seems to no longer make coasters I dont hold out huge hope for it opening again :/

Not really small news for the chap involved, but dressing up as a silly mascot thing at an amusement park (Hirakata in Osaka) in a heatwave is not such a good idea.

Dreamland Margate is in the process of being sold to Sands Heritage Limited, hopefully we will see some investment and continued operation for the future.

We knew about the wooden coaster ages back though when Skyline leaked the POV to YouTube.

Big One's new soundtrack sounds awesome!
Would be awesome if they added some lighting effects to the station when the train dispatches.
