Looks like EVERYONE got an award from them... Least Symbolica is on there, though the two attractions seem worlds apart...

What with S&S revealing a new evolution of the Steeplechase, and Nick Thompson being involved in it, how long until we get a completely refurbished attraction? Only if it's the Velociraptor cars though

Check out @thegravitygroup’s Tweet: That car is adorable

This is also what stops Black Mamba from being better than Nemesis, and why the sometimes bemoaning of Nemmie not being as long as other inverts proves that I'd rather finish on a high than after being bored senseless by CORNERS... Helix > Blue Fire > Taron

There's a really, REALLY obvious joke there... I'm sure they released a video of it opening, either I imagined that or got it confused with another park... Well if this ain't opening next year Poland will drop off the card...

I thought that wate coaster had opened... Intamin! *shakes fist*

Well it's closer, and has a few more Euro-centric amenities than China... Don't think you'd need to faff with visas either... Plus tbh Istanbul looks like a cultural bonanza, and Ankara (with the new park of 16/17 creds) isn't too far off to do both (Antalya would be a different matter methinks, but is more a beach holiday anyway by looks of things)... China also has the issue of trying to figure out where to go region wise... It's a bloody nightmare trying to figure it out...

Sub Terra didn't close due to budget cuts, mainly some H&S issues especially post Smiler...

Djurs is just as easy to get to as Le Pal (fly and drive)... It's all cost though, can't imagine Helix or Icon costing less than Blue Fire Dinosaur edition. And that's purely out of that extra design stage required, and hence more unique pieces needing to be manufactured/drawn up/etc. There's room for clones, especially when smaller parks are building them to get on the ladder...

By clone are we just getting the track, or effectively the entirety of Klugheim? It's really variable, like there will be a massive difference between Takabashi and the clone because the clone is indoors... It's like all those Blue Fire clones, none have the same level of theming as the Europa Park one, but is it good that these parks are getting a good quality major coaster? I'd say so, much like with Le Pal getting a JOYvelen and it being a real quality ride... Let's be honest, saying this: Is just enthusiast elitism, since the MAJORITY of guests will have never ridden the original... It's the same way like all the UK enthusiasts bemoaned the additions of Krake and Baron at their respective parks; yet visit and they are the most popular attractions there...

If a person can't be bothered to expand their horizons it's their loss... I'd rather go to Japan than New Jersey, but if it allows more people to experience a particular ride, then wahey... There's some irony I'm sure you've not missed of having Piraten as your avatar

The new Gerst at Knott's has got lapbars, maybe this one will have them too...

Depends how Duane feels doesn't it? Apparently doing this with a Zierer Tivoli doesn't count as a new cred (even though the park itself said so), same for Hulk; yet EuroSat is a new cred? I'm on the fence about this... I love seeing parks take care of stuff that is truly iconic to the park and guests (pretty much everyone in Holland has ridden Python), and to be fair it doesn't really prevent any form of major expansion where it is currently sat... What could go in it's stead that is to the scale of Efteling's more recent additions? Efteling's nostalgia is part of the charm... Though of course most of the actual nostalgia is from the 90s ride wise, I wonder if Pegasus' spite for Joris drew some interesting remarks from fans and guests alike made them rethink things...

Surely you could say you're just coming in though? The band cancellation line sounds more plausible than "Big Amanda is watching you"....

Roland looks really old suddenly... I'm gonna miss the 80s kitsch most of all...

I know, shocking to be able to visit a park you don't have to be drunk to enjoy...

Nintendo with TWO Games of the Year in a single year I need my Switchmas

Does a MAP give you a free mocktail though? CHECK... MATE...

The prize is locked away in my safe... Maybe next year I'll get back on the wagon properly, although the plans are pretty much just revisiting parks for the most part...

Hela though Also the funniest Marvel movie...

Just thought, RnRC and SM at DLP launches are both great examples of theatrical launch sections, in the same vein as Blue Fire, showing its not all about the force/acceleration...

Lol if it's another year round maze... Who needs imaginative attractions anyway...

Let's be honest, what's the point of an entire thread dedicated to Parc Saint Paul? Sooooo I thought why not put all those smaller places into one topic that will see the likes of PSP, Le Pal and many, many more have updates on what they're getting in the future for all budding cred runners! To start off, Parc Saint Paul are getting a Gravity Group wooden coaster next year: Elsewhere in France, Le Pal (near Lyon) is getting a JOYvelen clone (https://rcdb.com/15072.htm), and a brand new park in Parc Spirou (https://rcdb.com/12676.htm) is being built in the South, with a Zierer tower launched thing coming with it. There's also a new park being built in Rotterdam (https://rcdb.com/12091.htm)! Now home to an old Japanese Shuttle Loop, and located an old power station area, information on other bits on there are sparse however. A Zoo in Emmen is also building a Duelling set of Vekoma Jr Boomerangs. Ankapark in Turkey should open with it's ridiculous amount of mediocrity. Land of Legends down in Antalya however is building a clone of Lewa World's Flash Mack Mega-Coaster. Finally Jardin d'Acclimatiation in Paris is getting a Gerstlauer Bobsled with an adorable plane theme (https://rcdb.com/14454.htm). Feel free to post any old nonsense in here for the random places around the world, I'm sure a few more places are due to announce new things over winter...
