Looks really good! Anyone have any idea if its being replaced any time soon? The park is already small on the attraction front o surely they can't leave an empty space too long?

The upper lot is going to be a complete mess for the next few years due to Potter and this along with Shrek and possibly Waterworld hitting the chopping board. Despicable Me hasn't been given an opening date but predictions are late this year or early next year. The foundations of that area are screwed though due to a certain mechanic at the end of Terminator.

The seats suddenly dropping

The space available is a lot larger than in Florida so they will hopefully get a different ride system but they may just make two show areas.

Being replaced by Despicable Me...

A shame really, Terminator 2 was always an entertaining time that could only work in America...

True. The gun-toting nature of the show makes it at times a bit hard for me to swallow but the effects and build up make it more than just another 3D movie.

Gun-toting nature?

Wasn't even on about that, it was more about the corporation style presentation of Cyberdyne Systems, especially when you had a brilliant actress doing that role...

Didn't even know this was closing, that is so sad considering how hilarious it was and so different from all the other 3D film/ride combinations.

Not so super anymore.

Meanwhile at USF, the Springfield expansion is rumoured for the middle of the this year and will supposedly (Universal are doing the putting up construction walls but not announcing anything trick again) a Kodos and Kang flat ride and shops, restaurants and bars from the franchise. Rumours are also picking up about a Jurassic Park expansion. I wonder how Disney is going to respond to all of this (hopefully not Avatar land).

Universal truly going for the jugular then. Sometimes I wished I lived in Florida, you get the real benefit of all this rumours and investment. DIsney need to do something soon..

Part of the billion dollar investment in the two parks...

Amazing scenes...

Don't go to Florida you said...

Despicable me really isn't that good though, especially when you compare it to the terminator show. When I saw it the cyberdyne worker was brilliant, so I guess that helped.

Might be of some interest to those who are interested in Outlaw Run (not me) or budding Engineers (me)...

Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach have responded to a comment about the new ride for this year and they have responded saying it is a spinning Coaster and when the person has asked if it is Whirlwind they have said no.

I reckon it will end up being a bog standard Reverchon Spinning Wild Mouse ride.

GO DANISH VERSION OF CHEETAH HUNT! GO!

"New" spinning Coaster at Pleasure Beach Great Yarmouth. Has a rather odd name.

Not to worry. That's just the name of the ride logo...

Storm at Etnaland...

Oh Mack. This ride looks incredible. Plus, love the colour of that track!

*Adds Etnaland onto list of theme parks I want to go to*.

A great article about B&M, featuring quotes from Walter Bolliger. Nothing particularly groundbreaking, but still an interesting read!

And best themed ride of 2013 goes to....

Bellewaerde Park in Belgium, this indoor/outdoor Zierer coaster will boast a long pre-show (think Legoland's Dragon) before going outside and back in...

The concept art and theming so far look BRILLIANT...

Double post, but when there's long slender track penetrating a giant wall, who cares?

I don't think that looks that good. In fact it almost looks ugly to me.

I'd wait until it looks less of a construction site before jumping to any sort of conclusions.

It'll look much better when it's not a construction site and has trains flying through it. <3

I think it looks stunning. Love that having used the fly through towers as supports the whole track looks like it is actually unsupported.

A couple more photos from Cedar Point's Facebook:

Ok, that view looks better

I think Bubbles 1 was possibly referring to the comment made in the post before by Benin about the Huracan ride in Belgium being the best themed ride of 2013. But still agree Bubbles1 should wait until construction has finished.

Outlaw Run test video anyone?
