Not quite... They chopped down an awful lot of trees.

Thriller is coming home! Skyline Park bought the legendary travelling coaster! http://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/mindelheim/Skyline-Park-vor-groesster-Erweiterung-id27470217.html Quick translation: The ride is currently operating at a Mexican park. It will be be disassembled in the middle of 2014 and be shipped to Germany in 50 containers. It will then be fully renovated over the next year and the park hopes to have it operational by 2016.

The elements - and their order - are the same, but the layout is different.

Yes, you'll be wearing 3D glasses.

Location... new waterpark plans

Europe Plopsaland - Plopsaqua (€16 million indoor water park) Walt Disney Studios Paris - Ratatouille (3D dark ride similar to Spider-Man & Transformers) Asia Universal Studios Japan - The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (copy of the area at Islands of Adventure)

Here's an original souvenir. For only 420,000 euro you can take the SuperWirbel home with you: http://www.intermarkridegroup.com/roller-coasters/corkscrew-coaster-rc1325 I guess now we know where that Premier ride will be installed... SuperWirbel can be seen in the top left / north west corner.

Yes, Dubai also has a lot of those scale models. Anyway, some more artwork... The name of this park will be "Lewa Happy World". (some sites have it written as "Lehua", and Google translates the Chinese to "Leroy", but the parent company uses "Lewa Investment" as their English name)

Yeah, it's insane. Today's update: http://www.coasterfriends.de/forum/4108-2014-neuheit-b-m-wing-coaster-heide-park-92.html#post119433 Gorgeous. © coasterfriends.de

A little bit of both. The current owners knew it was too rough, but the Spanish owners simply didn't have the budget. The park has an SBNO river rapids ride as well. :/ Six Flags however, who owned the park when the ride opened, replaced the original Intamin-trains after just one season to make it smoother. But they replaced them with trains by Premier Rides, the same ones that destroyed Son of Beast. So who knows, maybe in the long run they've made things worse. Anyway, as you can see, the first drop is finally getting its much needed retrack. The entire first drop, including the uphill section that follows, is being replaced. They're even replacing some of the wood in the support structure with steel beams. Oh... and the park also posted this on their blog: "Behind this door you'll find in 2014..."

Ouch. People are tweeting that "a bolt flew out of the track" this morning and now the track isn't connected anymore.

It's mainly done for cost reasons. Launching a train from 0 is incredibly hard and very expensive. Tires are an option, but if there's room for a little drop, why not let gravity do the work?

A quick update: the park has been placed in administration. December 5, the current owners will have to outline the park's financial situation. January 23, the court will decide the park's future. http://lorraine.france3.fr/2012/11/21/walygator-le-parc-d-attraction-mosellan-en-grande-difficulte-147446.html
