To add to the cars land rumours, the one of the cars land hat merchandise for cars land in california has the california castle on one ear and the florida castle on the other.

EDIT:

Can I just say: I've wanted the colour scheme of the Ocean Park Wing Coaster at Thorpe/heck, any Merlin park for a long time. Lovely combo.

As you were.

Green and Yellow just works on any ride. It's so beautiful. Why we get stuck with sodding Black everytime I'll never know.

The above coaster will be called Flying Over the Rainforest and B&M have revelaed the cars for it at IAAPA.

Thanks to TPR for the picture.

Aww. What a cute train, what a cute name for a roller coaster. Love those green restraints by the way.

PARROT COASTER!!!

So want with it's LED eyes

Seems these LED's on trains are going to start kicking off! Although I'm sure Ocean Kingdom can actually have all of them working...

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet. GCI have a new coaster conept. It's basically a tame Vekoma Boomerang. The wooden Ben 10 if you will...

Outlaw Run trains have also been on show at IAAPA:

Lap-bars on Outlaw Run? That'll be insane!

There is no ride here..

Haven't they announced it? So people now do expect a ride

That's just a track shaped horizontal support for that warehouse that has nothing to do with the park...

Just a support structure by the looks of things... Scaffold style you know...

Another View of the Train for Ocean Kingdom's 'Flying Over The Rainforest' Winged coaster

Construction coming along quite quickly now!

Really love those parrot trains, so colourful and shiny and lovely and And blue LEDs!

Nevermind that shuttle coaster concept this compact woodie looks like it could be an awesome addition to any park. Small footprint, speed, banking and airtime.....Drayton? Flamingo? Are you listening

Son of Beast is no more.

If this video doesn't make you cry you have no heart...

But wasn't it crap?

Unfortunately it closed before my visit, but surely it's days were always numbered when they removed the loop... No gimmick, making it pointless as it was panned by all...

Meh, maybe they'll get a good ride, as they need another one...

SFMM do just seem to be plonking relatively cheap, small thrill coasters all over the place just to retain the title of the most roller coasters at a theme park.

In other news Etnaland posted a picture of The Storm on there FB page.

The setting of it is amazing and the views from the top off the lift are probably brilliant.

So much airtime. And it has a Blue Fire-esque post-loop turn after that airtime hill. Mmmm.

Mack <3

Even the station looks like Blue Fire <3

That ride looks fantastic. I am so glad that this type of ride is staring to really catch on as after Blue Fire, the ride type seemed to enter the wilderness.

Anyone fancy a trip

Been meaning to post about this news for AGES.....

Italy (and Rome) are getting ANOTHER new park, Cinecitta World, a movie themed park... Due to open next year

It's expected to have a Colossus clone (though likely to be the upgraded version), an indoor Intamin Drop Coaster, Intamin Drop Tower, Mack Supersplash, two dark rides and a whole load more!

Exciting times, maybe another jaunt is in order?

Track for the Colossus ride is there already...

I can imagine the clone being a lot better than Colossus (even thought they would be the same!?)
