Well, it’s one of their nicer ride entrances. I’ll say that. Just needs less corrugated Steel now.

Can’t say I’m a massive fan of derelict abandoned themes: but I won’t judge until I see in person. I'm pretty sure Jordan is charge of marketing for the resort so it’s more of a publicity thing I guess than a factual really.

Not necessarily a bad thing since I never had a problem with the previous system. Implementing such on as Tomb Blasters would have been disastrous.

It will be interesting to see what happens with these packages, but from the looks of things it’s probably an improvement over previous years. fastrack systems arent a problem if they are organised correctly.

Can’t wait for this meet, it’s been a while now. Out of interest, what are we thinking food wise after the park closes?

Worst case scenario I can get you in through family and friends if you like or something.

Call it old news if you want but Loopings have mentioned that 2020’s development will be a launch coaster built by Intamin, which will be constructed near to the Efteling hotel and become part of the theme area, Travel Empire. Given the different ideas and theories this development seems to feature more twists and turns than Taron.

Unfortunately Canada Creek will never return (as mentioned by others). Unless of course they can open the world's first trackless railway. Loggers won’t be returning this year, if ever. However I know management want to get the ride reopen, so let’s see.

Legoland have recently released their 2018 season map. From Theme Park Guide. Whilst it’s supposedly a low investment year, something becomes particularly noticeable. Not only is the path from Lego City to Adventure Land missing, but so is the Heartlake Express. Does this mean the removal of the once iconic train or temporary closure for possible construction work? Also Olivias House and Space Tower have disappeared, with the later confirmed as leaving.

It is astounding just how little the resort actually has to do to improve things. Improve park operations, staff training, customer service, limit Express Pass, find a better food supplier and give Stampida Millenium Flyer trains. That alone would already make the resort a noticeably better and pleasant place. Ferrari needs sorting too, a proper dark ride and sorting El Diablo would be nice, but one thing at a time. Despite being home to my current number 3 coaster, I am in no rush to return to P.A.

Coming from someone who didn’t have the best PA experience, I’ll say this Shambhala is by far the best thing about PA (although it’s shows, water rides and hours are of acceptable level). Baco I have surprising love for but it’s a very marmite ride. Red Force is alright and is definitely best at the front. It’s probably still the best thing about the Ferrari Land as the drop towersand other rides were either average or general let downs IMO. Try and avoid eating food from the parks as when I was there it was awful. I’ve never struggled so much consuming oily tasteless pizza. The small cafe place near Baco serves some of the more edible food. Buy express pass if you can (unless you are staying onsite). I rarely condone this but the queues and operations there leave lots to be desired. On my previous visit I found amongst the worst I’ve seen at a theme park environment. Rude, unhelpful and respond to any query or complaint as if you’ve just offended them. Hopefully you will have a more enjoyable visit. The park could be something special if it was run correctly.

Wow, out of all the horror stories of visitors being told off aggressively for taking photos, this is by far the worst. Let’s hope that is the case as regardless of the situation that behaviour is completely unacceptable!

Seeing all this testing is highly exciting and great to see Icon coming to life. Love those Mack baggage holds, they are perhaps the best kind of hold out there (non biased opinion).

This is just terrible news! I’ve only Roodie a few times, but he’s such a lovely guy and doesn’t deserve this at all, especially given he has young kids. I too want to donate (when I’m position to do so) and will try and share his story. Wishing the best best for Roodie and his family.

Well I certainly didn’t see this happening. Hopefully the retheme will be a step up over the former Circus setting. Still going to miss the Old 99 regardless though.

Good to see so much dedication in this park, which despite obtaining a popular IP are also continuing to develop original attractions. I am also curious about them mentioning announcements for their next big thing too.

Certainly a step up from showing the movie on a big screen, hopefully it’ll actually be good. I guess I’m in the minority that actually liked Cheesy Dibbles.

They remind me of snake skin for some reason. Hopefully the trains will look even better in the daylight whilst running on the track. It’s also never too late for BPB to stick their name in front of the trains. It has been done before.

Yes Yes Yes! DLRP/WDS finally gets a much needed expansion and upgrade. The concept art look great and it looks like Motors and the Tour will also be spited which is no real loss, plus there looks like a new lake too. Tower’s appearance is some reassurance too. I believe the expansions are starting from 2021 which makes sense since RNRC will become Ironman next year and New York will reopen with it’s Marvel retheme. Maybe there will be a time in the future where can for sure no longer call WDS the weakest Disney Park. Only minor downside is prices for tickets and passes will probably sky rocket but can’t have everything.

Bobblejaan building new stuff? Well I never! Loopings mention it’s Gerstlauer so I expect it will be similar to Gold Rush in that case.

Wow, that is taking bigotry to a whole new level. Ridiculous move. I wonder how they will get over this? Phantasialand really does have a difficult and troubling relationship with quite a few of the locals.

Bumper Steel Vengeance update! Surprised not that many are that interested. Photos courtesy of Coasterforce Looks absolutely amazing. I for one feel particularly excited about this new ride at Cedar Point.

Hoping by the way Valkyria has been progressing lately, this ride will be about the same in terms of construction process. If not, I guess there must be delays which would be a shame.

Lovely Gold track there, this is definitely flying up right now.

I think it’s safe to say this announcement has been very divided. Whilst some dislike the market and direction, others are without doubt dead excited. I will leave now
