Ireland update with Miss Euro 2016... photos: Europa-Park

“Mickey and the Magician” premiered today.

Fixed.

New track! - lime green - yellow (which looks orange in the video because of the sunset) - gray (possibly just a base coat)

After looking at some of the high-res photos, it looks like there is some serious damage to one of the supports underneath the first drop. One of them is literally bent. There's also damage to the paint. So I would guess the train derailed during the first drop, and collided with that support, causing that damage. https://twitter.com/_demicampbell/status/747085763939008512 An older photo of the same support:

Every other family used to own one of those buses. It's the German equivalent of an American park adding lake cabins. Besides, what's the difference with Legoland's ? Or Europa-Park? I don't see the difference... All of them are nothing more than a unique, quirky way of spending the night at the park's campsite. You do realize Robb was joking when he said you can rent them by the hour?

Hold on to your butts, here's the first Frozen Ever After on-ride. Excellent quality too. Looks great! Beautiful animatronics.

Apparently they're up to 16 now. http://rcdb.com/12017.htm

Eh, Vampire is one of the better ones. It's usually pretty decent.

Opening gala show:

The full Pirates "stunt show", which looks really good. Some highlights: 1:30 to 1:55 --> Jack Sparrow appears 4:45 to 5:15 --> flying Jack Sparrow 6:50 to 8:25 ----> when the actual stage appears 10:00 to 11:30 --> swordfighting and stuff 13:30 to 15:10 --> storm finale

Is that their prediction for the Euro 2016 final?

The park has confirmed this is the last season for its Schwarzkopf Looping Star, which opened in 1979. It will be replaced by a new coaster for 2017. The 37-year-old Looping Star will close in October and the park is planning numerous events to give it a proper sendoff, which could include walks up the lifthill or even spending the night in a campsite underneath the ride. (The park started out as a western-themed camping site.) As for the new coaster, not much is known, only that it will be taller and more spectacular than the Looping Star. It will also occupy a larger area. There will be an inversion and it will have a western theme.

Roaring Rapids is now open as well... but it looks like the dragon still needs some work:

The park has detailed its plans for the next 10 years: - the entrance will be relocated - a significant expansion of the park - an additional parking lot - a hotel (100 rooms for 4 people) The goal is to double the park's attendance. From 630,000 visitors (in 2015) to 1,2 million visitors (by 2025). According to a new zoning plan: - buildings will be no taller than 30 m - except for the new entrance (which includes a 45 m tall tower) and the hotel (35 m) - rides are allowed up to 45 m (148 ft) - however, 3 rides can be as tall as 100 m (328 ft) - and even 150 m (492 ft) could be allowed, but that would require an additional investigation source: http://www.horstaandemaas.nl/Actueel/BKM/2016/Bestemmingsplan/week_22/Toverland

No. This thread is about all of the Wanda-parks, and the rides you mention are at different parks. Wanda Nanchang (open) http://rcdb.com/10349.htm - Intamin mega - GCI woodie - a knockoff SLC (with a unique layout) Wanda Xishuangbanna (open) http://rcdb.com/11928.htm - B&M Flying Coaster - Intamin watercoaster - Zamperla motocoaster Wanda Hefei (opens in September) http://rcdb.com/12184.htm - Intamin shuttle launch - mysterious tilt coaster

Potato-quality onride videos of the Wanda Hefei coasters. The Intamin shuttle-launch wing coaster... ...and the mysterious dual tilt coaster:

Still no sign of the new flat rides. Sometime in July apparently.
