I'm actually really happy with both of these announcements! I love park resort hotels and I have no doubt Efteling will do an amazing job with this one. Also, I was never a fan of Spookslot so they can put anything in there and it will be an improvement for me!

Is this for this season or next? Trying to decide if we should try to get over there and ride original Nemesis one more time if we have time!

To be honest, I'm almost more excited about this one than any of the other SeaWorld/Busch Coasters! I mean, I get it, Iron Gwazi will be the best but we know what that one will be like. Pantheon is going to be super unique and very different from most coasters!

I feel like there are a lot of uncovered stations in California. I always figured it was some weird flex about their good weather?

I kind of hate the Kraken color!!! I mean, I don't really care and I'm sure I'll get used to it, but first glance I don't like it! So weird to see them have given up on Antarctica, but I do like the random penguins just set up in the ride path, probably better than the ride!

I agree, would love to see a more IP based Disney Water Park! I'm shocked they haven't yet, and more shocked that Universal did the weird Volcano Bay instead of the Dreamworks Water Park!!!

^Yes, breakfast is included at the Legoland and Pirate Lego hotel.

Looks like it stays up at the top for a decent amount of time too!

^Yeah, but Dubai was always known as the 'las vegas' for the arab countries/people. Saudi Arabia is the real deal and unless they get a LOT more lenient many of us will have trouble visiting there. I agree though, it's their country and people should support or hurt them with their money as that's what this all boils down for. And if you're a real credit person and you don't want to support them, try to go for as cheap as possible! Or make a donation to a womens or gay rights association to offset your trip. There are good karma options out there! I'd be interested to visit Saudi Arabia as it's a very strange country but has some amazing sites (not including the theme parks) but as a woman, of course many of their policies hurt and offend me.

Yeah, I don't think money is the issue here, but I still don't know how/why this would happen!?!? I will wear my conservative clothes and tie down my head covering for a new intamin coaster like this though!

I didn't realize he was so old. He did a lot for the industry. Sorry for his family.

Very cool! Paging @coasterbill!!!

Weird press release to bring up that they've had fires before!?!

^It depends on the ship and homeport, but usually the longer the voyage the better on Carnival. If you've never cruised before Carnival can be a good 'starter' company and then you can see what some of the others offer. If you hate it, don't blame cruising, try another line first!

^I could see them closing again for a few weeks after the holidays. I hope not, but this is just crazy times!!!

As others have said I would NEVER do a 2 night cruise. I don't even like 3 night ones! I would recommend a 4 night for your first cruise for a couple of reasons. 1 - 4 night cruises are typically a less crazy crowd. 2 - 4 nights are often cheaper than 3 nights because they're during the week. 3 - You need 4 nights to really get the feel for a cruise.

We should all enjoy this while we can...these temps so far this 'winter' in the US are crazy hot!

I'm so torn because I LOVE SDC so much and really need to get back, but I also would like them to get their operations back to where they were pre-pandemic before we go. I would cry waiting in line with my cinnamon bread getting cold! Great TR! Thanks for sharing!

^Does your son have his own account or do you 'manage' his account? Anyone with their own account can link up, but if it's a managed account you cannot.

^Hey, someone made a sign so just take what you can get!!!

^Cool, thanks for keeping us updated!

Whoa whoa, no...not like 'every other coaster'. Unless every other coaster is Dragster, Deja Vu, Hang Time...

Ooo Exciting!!! Thanks for keeping us updated.

I like it!

Your amazing Photo TR reminds me of a very depressing article I read that talked all about how travel was going to prove more and more difficult due to global warming. Basically, screwed up weather and bigger meteorological disasters are going to screw over air travel and making plans and anything outdoors in our lifetime. So yeah, get ready for more disappointment I guess!!? Thanks for taking us along!
