Holiday Park Discussion Thread
BDG replied to devol4's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Phase 2 of the Sky Fly zone has been unveiled! More scenery, and two new flat rides! Overview of the area: Sky Fly in the center, Balloon Race in the bottom left corner. Those rides already exist. One of the new rides... which looks like some sort of Wave Swinger: New colors and scenery for the existing Balloon Race, and for the shops: photos: Holiday Park & Holly-Info -

Woodie update... The station goes here: Lifthill over there: First drop in this area: They were busy building an actual wall... photos: Plopsaland -
I count 4 coasters... Stellar Propulsion, a launch coaster. Clearly an Intamin, and it looks like an original design, 80m tall. Tokyo's Night, a dueling coaster. This one looks like a Preston & Barbieri, and a clone of Mirabilandia's Master Thai. A weird choice, as a nearly identical ride exists "down the road" at Dennlys Parc. Master Thai, Mirabilandia | photo: NewsParcs Journey to the Center of the Earth is a kiddie coaster. This looks like an L&T Junior Coaster 30x14, which also exists at Mirabilandia. Gold Mine Train, Cowboyland | photo: George Greenway The Land of Elves consists of two indoor Spinning Coasters. The layout looks like a Fabbri Spinning Madness (40m).

A new official website is up. https://unveilthemagic.shanghaidisneyresort.com.cn/?ref=officialwebsite So far, only the Tomorrowland-section can be viewed, and it's all rather slow, but there's some (new?) nice artwork to be found...

Walibi Belgium Discussion Thread
BDG replied to Dark Vampire's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Larger... ...and some facts from the accompanying article: - this is at CSM in Belgium, which has been making for parts for Mack for 10 years now - this ride for Walibi uses 600 tons of steel - CSM has 4 buildings each the size of a football field - they're currently working on 5 coasters edit: And a little extra fact shared by Mack: CSM usually doesn't make track. This ride is an exception, as the track is relatively simple. All "twisted" track is still exclusively made by Mack themselves in Waldkirch, Germany. photos: Het Belang van Limburg -
Energylandia Park Discussion Thread

Wow. The park just announced another new coaster. Apparently they're planning a GCI wooden coaster. The park posted a photo of the GCI booth at EAS, with the following description: "Just back from Sweden, full of new ideas and concepts for Energylandia. In this photo one of the attractions that is scheduled for installation in our park." source: Energylandia -

Prinsessia update... Lots of new spires... And a glimpse inside the restaurant... photos: Plopsaland -
Son of Beast had some very serious problems in the supporting structure. RMC couldn't have saved the ride. edit: You can read a detailed "failure analysis report" of the July 9, 2006 incident here: http://archive.cincinnati.com/assets/AB173457423.PDF The conclusion... Fixing the problems they knew about only led to more problems...

Universal Studios Japan (USJ) Discussion Thread

The artwork doesn't show a Pterodactyl, but a Pteranodon. Neither of them are "dinosaurs" though, so the name of the ride is dumb.
