Cedar Fair has decided to close all of its Windseekers after the incident at Knotts.

Toverland's latest coaster, d'Wervelwind (translated as Whirlwind; shock horror!) is set to open to the public tomorrow; serving more as a soft opening in a way as the new area it is a part of doesn't open until next April!

The Mack spinning coaster had it's media event yesterday; a few photos...

The swamp themed station.

The Magic Valley area will be completed for April and the area looks absolutely brilliant! Really must get myself down to this park!

European parks

That station is really beautiful...

Outlaw Run at SDC has now had its track completed and there's some very nice photos on there! Hybrid, woodie, I don't particularly care what it is, it still looks like a good, fun ride!

New Mack Megacoaster for Liseberg in Sweden...

Scandi trip next year looking likely...

That's great news for Liseberg, as if they didn't have a great collection of roller coasters & rides already! Look forward to hearing & seeing more about this.

Not sure this is the best recreation possible. I find the layout kind of odd, but can't put my finger on why.

Not saying it does not look rather good though!

Amazing. Coming in 2014. These Mack coasters are really taking off.

I just don't know why.

Bloofi

Two rolling LSM launches?

Zero-G finale?

I'm sold...

Mack

I'm sold...

That recreation makes it look quite slow. Although love these Mack Megacoasters after riding Blue Fire

Yes Liseberg, Yes Mack! I for one am so glad that another park is going for Mack's fantastic launch rollercoasters. it was slow for a while but now they've really taken off. Fantastic.

Great punn!

Ocean Kingdom (a new theme park for China next year) has begun construction of their wingrider.

The layout seems to focus on the sheer size of these wingriders with a 164 foot drop like Raptors, a huge dive loop, zero G roll and a tunnel. Nice to see another unique layout which all wingriders seem to have except maybe Swarm and X Flight.

What a weird layout... Especially the extensive tunnel... That'll cost a fortune to build...

Hmm. Definitly shows the legs of the wing rider concept although this one seems all teeth and no bite. We shall see..

Surprised this hasn't been posted yet but Hershey have announced that Skyrush will be closed for their Halloween event which covers the rest of the season. It doesn't come to as a shock to me given Intamin's recent track record, the design of the trains and the forces in the track layout.

Hurrr. You'd think that these manufacturers would get it right at some point. There's always issues with new rides with every manufacturer but I would've thought they had been doing it long enough.

Surely after the Intimidator 305 blackout fiasco meaning a track replacement would have made them more cautious with Skyrush?

Although saying all of that, I know these rides aren't that simple and it's a wonder any of them work!

Disney buys the rights to Star Wars. Megaton

I can't wait for attractions based on Star Wars.

They could have a simulator, and its actually a ship, and heck why don't they throw in multiple endings so that people want to ride it over and over.

WHY HAS NO ONE THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's exactly what I've thought when people have been pondering what Disney could do with a Star Wars themed attraction...

They also got Indiana Jones with the deal, wonder what they could do with THAT franchise?

The Ocean Kingdom winged coaster has been topped off with drop completed also

Anything from a 5th gate at Walt Disney World to a Star Wars/ Cars Land Hollywood Studios relaunch. LITERALLY ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.

That wing-rider is big innit.

A Disney B&M?

Surely that is the first sign of the apocalypse?

For Hollywood Studios, there were rumours of:

Monster's Inc Rollercoaster

Cars Land

Indiana Jones Rollercoaster where the tram tour is, towards the top of the park
