Weird but strangely beautiful pictures of the leftovers of the washed away 6 flags park..... http://www.lovethesepics.com/2011/05/creepy-crusty-crumbling-illegal-tour-of-abandoned-six-flags-new-orleans-75-pics/Did anyone go while it was open? Mega Zeph looks like it could have been fun.Strange how they seem to have managed to achieve the look Thorpe have been going for without even trying.

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.

I imagine this won't attract much attention on this forum, however I think this is a particularly exciting development to Europe arriving in June this year! Adventure World Warsaw will contain several major features including a massive entertainment village, a theme park, a water park and two hotels. The theme park will be the first ever theme park to set foot in Poland and the water park will be the largest water park in the whole of Poland. The total cost of this project before opening is to be set around €620million and the resort plans to expand in the future. The theme park itself will contain 6 themed lands with over 50 guest experiences including 24 themed rides.…

Valleyfair is my home park, and I'm very proud to state that. Despite the its flaws, the park is in my opinion, one of the parks that has every ingredient needed to be a perfect park.How to make a good park:-Rides-Landscape/Scenery-Food-ShopsRides: At Valleyfair, there are rides for every size. For kiddies, there's 3 different sections dedicated to kids alone! Half Pint Park, Corkscrew Tot Spot, and Kidworks. Each section has various kiddie rides that are fit for kids alone. Rockin Tug, the Foam Ball Factory, and the Hot Air Balloons are some of the highlights of these areas. For families, there are various family rides, from coasters, (Mad Mouse) water rides, (Hydroblast…

Right guys, today I thought I would tell you about one of the best funfairs(in my opinion) which exists today. It is called villacher kirchtag and is from the 28th July to 4th August 2013. It is a traditional fair with folk dancing and music but also features a fairly large funpark. The funpark is quite expensive however due to the long ride times you get on the rides(some being around 10 mins) you feel satisfied for your money. The funpark is a great way to get your thrill senses going and is very fun and exciting. The funpark has a great atmosphere. There is also a wide range of food and drinks avalible as well as traditional gingerbread. I am advising you to go and vis…

If you ever get a chance. This is a very small family park in Connecticut, North America, with a great water park and lake, but a fabulous woodie named Wooden Warrior. This has a very small footprint, only cost one million dollars and is a fabulous wooden roller coaster. http://www.wfsb.com/video?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=10278178

We have a variety of threads for parks all around the world. But it's perhaps hard to track things. And there's also plenty of parks which we don't have threads for. BUT. Loads of parks around the world are getting new major rides for 2025. So let's try something new, and track them all in one thread. So this will be the life and soul of any non-UK ride getting built. Some bigger / more popular parks / rides might get their own thread / attention, but this is for a bit of everything... So here's a few to get us started... Walibi Holland are getting YoY, a pair of duelling RMC single rail raptors... The green trac…

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

Has anyone seen this show at Islands of Adventure?. I love it, and must see it everytime I go. I think the effects, the storyline and even the setting is realistic.

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…

not sure whether anyone has ever been to ocean park but does who have here is the discussion. Ocean park is located in Hong Kong, for those who don't know, and it has two parts to its park. One up in the mountains, and one below. To get up to the mountain, there are Cable cars, and those who are a bit scared or like a different experience can go on the train. heres a POV of there newest ride, Hair Raiser a B&M Floorless Coaster, (not taken by me): And in my opinion the best few rides there: There log flume is very good, better than loggers in terms of thrill. it has two hills as much as I can remember. First one is very similar to the one in loggers, howeve…

In rather sad and unexpected news, it has been announced that California's Great America will be closing within the next 11 years, as Cedar Fair has sold the land it sits on to a company planning to develop it for real estate: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220623005938/en/Cedar-Fair-Capitalizes-on-Opportunity-to-Sell-Its-Land-at-California’s-Great-America-Amusement-Park This money is being used to reduce Cedar Fair's debt. I don't know about any of you, but this comes as a big surprise to me; CGA had a very elaborate masterplan only a few years ago, if I'm remembering correctly, so something must have changed drastically.

The World's Most Underrated Theme Park - Genting SkyWorlds Malaysia Review Great review of this park. One of the oddest ones out there I think. On top of a mountain, previously known as 20th Century Fox World Malaysia. Essentially a licensed Disney park with all of the IP's that probably don't fit into a normal Disney park. Its crazy how much IP Disney owns now!

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:

Saw this posted on CoasterForce. Love these kind of parks, I really need to visit Toverland. Wish we could get something like this in the UK. I think the concept of an indoor theme park like this would work really well. Concept Art
