It's almost akin to the idiocy of Cedar Fair parks closing EVERY SINGLE RIDE as soon as there's a spot of rain... Like even some drizzle was enough to make them close Blue Streak temporarily!

Merlin had the chance to do exactly that after Smiler crashed... Their decisions since show nothing but contempt for "customer experience"...

Be lucky to get any paint given the old "EVERYTHING MUST HAVE A RETURN ON INVESTMENT" nonsense...

It's a city park, it's pretty much the same as Liseberg in terms of location of the city centre... Here's some concept art for the new Gerst Infinity coaster going into Walibi Rhone-Alpes (near the France/Swiss border, Lyon/Geneva way):

Lol at that ridiculous looking hill after the top hat...

*blows dust* 2019 will be the "YEAR OF MAGICKS!" to coincide with the new hotel being built, there's some new additions including what appears to be a walkthrough attraction, a new show and... *checks notes* A new coaster? That's very unexpected, wonder what it is..... SEQUOIA MAGIC LOOP https://www.gardaland.it/en/2019-year-of-magic/#

I'm very much of the opinion that after this the whole Marvel/superhero film stuff will drop in popularity, but I bet 100% there will be tears by the end of this one... Midnight screening here I come!

This is like, the most common business practice at the moment though? Black Friday is the absolute WORST for 'deals' that are no cheaper than the item was sometimes half a year ago for example... Especially around this time of year, it's always best to wait it out... Though would've thought that because the park was so bad this year the loyal customers wouldn't continue to give their money to them?

This is YEARS away, however this is very much likely to be my new favourite park name: https://rcdb.com/16860.htm https://www.iamexpat.nl/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/tonys-chocolonely-build-chocolate-factory-roller-coaster-zaandam

POV! (of a virtual kind)

Technically not Florida, but since the project will essentially be the same thing...... Star Wars Land (Cali edition) update!!!!!! Much like Cars Land, even if you hate the franchise, hot damn does it look purdy...

Blame the neighbours, especially damned in that area of the park... They have a worse relationship with them than with goons...

You forgot the hashtags!

A helpful French goon has done a quick sketch of the location for the new cred: http://www.disneycentralplaza.com/t53982p475-france-parc-asterix-paris-1989#3442290 The second image denotes a playground, eatery and a potential other new attraction, rumoured to be for 2023 (rather than opening with the coaster)... The pathway to the coaster actually already exists as staff access... Apparently a waterfall (cascades) will be added either to or from the existing pond/lake (the Grand Splatch one)... Finally, apparently they want a new hotel (never stayed in the one they have atm, looks nice though), and here's some concept art to drool over: EDIT - Further reading seems that they're getting a new 4D cinema next season (no idea where, presumably in the Victorian indoor section is my guess) and seemingly the utterly fantastic stunt show has finished for good... Which upsets me greatly because it was one of the best shows I've seen at a park, especially the finale ❤️ Hopefully it'll be replaced adequately...

I saw a while ago that they decided not to use any of the 'classic' baddies for this season, presumably thinking that they could cook up some imaginative ones/focus on the human side of things with the Rosa Parks/India episodes... A decent idea, but not sure if it's working well... It ain't Dr Who unless the Daleks are being reborn. Again...

Nothing attracts attention on here unless it's in a Merlin park though

Because apparently Dutch law means all new major rides MUST have a behind the scenes documentary on them...

Gotta remind people you exist when it comes to Christmas budgeting and the MAP sale...

Alternative video: It's weird, between the first drop and the final set of airtime hills it looks a bit, eh?

My main concern is that this is prime for IDS (Intamin Death Syndrome) with the switch track mid-way through, plus the potential flow-killer when it does the forwards/backwards/forwards bit... EDIT:

I've 100% record for attempts to being allowed in (1 out of 1)... Maybe I'm just nicer?

Would not be surprised if the poor performance this season leads to can kicking of an addition in the Mouse area, like any business if there is an awful year things might have to be pushed back... There's at least a better chance of a Mouse replacement coming before a Loggers one...
