International Attractions

Since I'm getting excited for going here AND I've just seen a new POV of their biggest ride I'm making a topic for it...Located in Skiersdorf Germany, this was originally opened as the second Legoland park, but only lasted a very short time and became HANSA LAND!Home to 4 coasters with a 5th on the way, it has a few stand-out weird rides... And focuses a lot on some great (and not so great theming), including:DIE GLOCKE NESSIE RIO DORADO ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDFLUCH VON NOVGOROD! A launched Eurofighter with ENCLOSED drop/launch/lift and amazing theming... Expect a MASSIVE trip report in June... Including their new Gerstlauer family coaster, the SNAKE OF MIDGARD!

This park have just announced what appears to be one killer coaster named the Steel Curtain! https://youtu.be/g9RST-tnYLs It will be 220ft tall, have a 197ft high inversion and have 9 inversions (the most on any US coaster)!

This relatively unknown park, is getting incredibly hyped up by people in Sweden for a project to be announced on the 8th of April. All we know at the moment is that this ride is called Wildfire and the ride will open in 2016. I know I am using a Robb Alvey quote and bladi-blah but he has said: I hope he is right about this one but for him to say this when, looking at tpr has slated quite a few of new projects in the past, especially those of the wing rider variety, this sounds promising! I'm remaining skeptical though as its Alvey He is the fantastic preview trailer for this ride, which looks AWESOME!

Canada’s Wonderland is perhaps the biggest and most famous theme park in Canada, who are part of the Cedar Fair Group. In 2019 the park will be opening Yukon Striker, their brand new dive coaster which will become the longest in the world. Valravn at Cedar Point currently holds that title. Promotional video and animated POV Not sure on the name or the second half, but there are some interesting elements in the ride’s layout. The drop going under the water which interacts with their swinging coaster Vortex, is probably my favourite looking part of the ride.

I couldn't find a topic for this so I made one..... Watch the exiting new announcement of their next coaster on carowinds.com !

So to start us off:- The amazing Katun.

Heide-Park has been clearing a large area of land for a while now, but recently they have put up signs that read this:Du willst in eine andere welt eintauchen?Do you want to dive into another world?and then followed by:Dann komm wieder in 2011!Then come again in 2011!Any thoughts to what this could be?Photos of the site being cleared and the signs can be found here:http://www.screamsca.../heide-park.htmPost your opinons here!

Kind of surprised we didn't have a Fuji-Q thread to be honest. Not sure if anyone on the forums has been (maybe @Benin or @BenC ?), but of course, it's a park well known for breaking records and just general being a bit over the top insane. One of their most well known coasters is Dodonpa, a S&S launch coaster with a launch of 0-107mph in 1.8 seconds. The park have recently announced, however, that they are going to be retracking Dodonpa, with rumours circulating they they'll be adding a loop. And given Fuji's fetish for records, the world's tallest loop doesn't seem out of the question! The ride will close next month and reopen next sum…

Djurs Sommerland is a great Danish theme park. It has Piraten, an intamin mega light that's filled with air time. There's also Juvelen, an intamin family launch coaster. There's a large selection of water rides and a few flat rides including a gerstlauer polyp (new for 2016) and a Huss topple tower which looks like great fun. I don't think this will be a popular topic, but discuss below!

Hi All, I couldn't find a thread on this already so I figured I'd start my own. Wanted to know if any of you have ever been or are planning to go to Aquopolis water park in Spain? It is just down from PortAventura in a place called La Pineda and it claims to be... "The Best Water Park". Probably what made me choose this over Costa Cariba was that it also had a dolphin show at the end of the day so I felt I was getting a little more for money, and the ticket was slightly cheaper than Cariba as well. However, I probably wouldn't go back. Compared to the likes of Wet n Wild, Blizzard Beach etc in Florida this one doesn't really match up. That being said, some of the slide…

Yet another park in the Six Flags chain, it used to house the other S&S Sky Swat (Catapult) which was recently removed and currently has the world's tallest Sky Screamer, several wooden coasters and Bizarro. It's just been announced that just like Colossus at SFMM, Cyclone will be closing on the 20th July after 31 years of operation (opened in 1983). Does anyone think this will be given the RMC Treatment or is it just the end for Cyclone considering the park has a few other woodies?

The mysterious pink track outside this park has finally been given some recognition. The new roller coaster will feature the name "DC Rivals Hypercoaster" which is a bit of a dull name but nevetheless, it still looks to be a great success with all the airtime and especially that bright colour.

I've decided to start this topic, as I've just seen the new Harry Potter film - The Half Bood Prince.This is for all of you who are big fans of Harry Potter, just like me, and want to discuss the construction of, and hopefully soon opening of: 'The Wizarding World of Harry Potter'. Thank you.

I have not been on this nor have I been to the theme park, but when I go back to Canada for holiday, I am for sure going to this theme park! :)Behemoth is a fairly new rollercoaster at Canada's wonderland, plus the longest and largest rollerocaster ever in all of Canada. I've looked at some of the POVs on youtube and the ride looks really insane! Have a look for yourself:

So Sod it, I've never been and think its about time I took myself off to Orlando - the home of theme parks! Basically I just want some advice from those that have been. Core park essentials for me are to do all the Disney parks (although possibly excluding the water parks/ the water parks aren't a priority) and Universal studios and Islands of Adventure. BONUS parks would be seaworld and BUCSH Gardens! but Id rather spend multiple days at the other parks to get all the the attractions done than fitting too much in/rushing! So in terms of where to stay - where is the best to do a Disney and Universal combo? Can you stay at a Disney hotel and easil…

Thought I would create a Topic for Slagharen, a particularly interesting park with a particularly funny name. Pretty under the radar for us brits but have announced a new Gerst coaster that will be replacing there old "Thunder Loop" coaster (https://rcdb.com/907.htm) It's a pretty interesting ride that looks rather fun, here's a CGI POV: The park also has some interesting other rides and a Water Park with some interesting sounding slides. Now as I am visiting Europe on a theme park road trip next year, I'm going to squeeze this in as it is kind of on route.

Boardwalk attractions opened up in Knotts and someone important wore this suit: Love it. The picture is from Micechat.com who cover a lot of Disney Cali, Knotts, Sea World San Diego, and Six Flags Magic Mountain stuff.

This topic is for discussion about Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, or any other theme park or attraction on Yas Island coming in 2010.

So, it looks like there's a new theme park on its way in the USA: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.al.com/articles/19595697/roller_coaster_rivaling_longes.amp?client=safari The 520 acre development is in Alabama and will contain a 14 acre lake, a 150 room hotel and a theme park. The theme park will have 3 large scale thrill rides - one of which is claimed to be the second longest in the USA and looks to be manufactured by zamperla. Nice fly through: The concept art looks amazing and incredibly highly themed too. Reminds me slightly of the concept art for paramount because of the grandness:

Madame Tussaud's New York has just opened an interesting new Ghostbusters VR walkthroughs powered by the same headsets used on Derren Browns Ghost Train. Here's a review: http://www.forbes.com/sites/sethporges/2016/07/01/a-review-of-ghostbusters-dimension-the-crazy-new-walk-through-vr-experience/#3497736b3a5b

Located in Germany and home to Over-rated Ge-Force, this park (now owned by Studio 100/Plopsa) is getting a Vampire themed coaster from Premier Rides as well as retheming their Log Flume area to Wickie the Viking... Lots of pics ahoy! Sources are Holiday Park Facebook/Blog and Coasterfriends.de

Along with every other chain in the world, Six Flags is opening a park in Dubai! Concept art shows a Mack Boomerang Splash like the new Pulsar at Walibi Belgium, as well as a potential Zacspin or S&S Free Fly Aside from a huge air-conditioned area (a necessity I'm sure!) and the potential dark ride sported by Six Flags Fiesta Texas, it screams Six Flags very very much

Did anyone even know about this? I didn't. I doubt this topic will be used much but anyway... http://m.gulfnews.com/leisure/travel/features/everything-you-need-to-know-about-legoland-dubai-1.1718876 Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk

After visiting today, I thought that a topic about this impressive park wouldn't go a miss!This park is mainly Simulators and walk through attractions - but still a park not to be missed!I'll spark some rides to talk about...The Mummy Returns - Amazing ride! You're on these crate kind of trains which embark on a journey into the depths of the tomb, where Imhotep wants to capture your souls to gain imortality.The special effects in here are extremely extensive and Universal have really gone the 'extra mile' to make this a ride and a half! You have several transfer tracks within where you will go backwards. There's also turntables and a launch hill! I'm trying not to spoil …

In my opinion this looks like the best LEGOLAND, and definitely the one I want to visit the most. I love the look of Polar X-Plorer, the Ice Pilots look quite good, Ghost look not bad, Viking River Splash looks almost too good, The Dragon looks good, the Pirate Splash Battle looks good, and so does Pirate Boats. On my list of foreign parks I HAVE to visit!
