larrygator Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Just like we did for 2011 - 2017 this thread will serve as a place to house a list of "what's new" for 2018 at major parks and links to the announcements. We encourage you to notify us of any new rides/coasters by posting in this thread. Discussions about individual rides and parks should continue in the appropriate discussion thread through the links in this thread. Rumors will not be included. We also don't plan to list every random out of the way upcoming attraction, so outside of major announcements this is limited to parks TPR has covered (or will likely cover in the future) in the Park Index.

DoinItForTheFame Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Thanks for the new list. I too agree that it makes it so much easier to keep up with all the new hotness. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordyC Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Phantasialand has not announced the opening year of F.L.Y., so 2018 is just an assumption at this point. It is a new ride system, just like Chiapas was. With Chiapas, they announced an opening date and they did not make that date. Therefore, it is very likely they will not announce an opening date until the testing goes well, and then they will carefully announce an opening date, or at least an opening year.

larrygator Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 FYI - I'm working on a similar thread to 2019. We are still waiting for news from a few major US parks and quite a few European parks. The What's New for 2019 thread will probably be posted around the end of September.
