An existing caravan & camping site in Wales has plans to build an amusement park. The artwork only has coasters, all easily recognizable standard models by Vekoma and Gerstlauer.

It's a Small World reopened today! An official article about the revamp: And an unofficial video: - at 1:35 the actual POV of the ride - at 8:45 footage of the outdoor "show" (every 15 minutes, the building comes alive) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_JLF7j6cn4 source: Disneyland Paris

Well... most wild mouse coasters don't spin. And El Locos also have flat turns.

The ride was rough from the get-go. And it had Intamin-trains in its first season. Not the ones you can find on rides like Colossos and El Toro today, but an older design, PTC-like.

Awesome commercial!

Here's another one.

More retracking for Bandit... photos: Movie Park

That's a very old map though. Part of that space has already been used by the Seven Dwarfs coaster and Pirates of the Caribbean, neither of which are on this map. And where it says future expansion on the other side of the park, TRON was built. TRON however is already on the map, but in a different location, which now has Buzz Lightyear and Stitch Encounter.

But Steel Eel doesn't have a loop.

Speaking of cartoony... The park made an informative video detailing all the refurbs. Most of us already know all the details, but the video itself is really well made:
