I hope they keep the giant steampunk fish.

I have no issues with Epcot being the "festival center" for Walt Disney World. It's the perfect venue for it.

Hong Kong

Kangaroo--Kennywood

Thunderbolt--Kennywood

Stone Delicious IPA I think this is a "gluten-reduced" beer, although I didn't realize that when I bought a bottle. If so, it's noteworthy; if not, it's still quite good, even if it isn't up to the level of their Arrogant Bastard Ale.

There is a lot to check out in the Tokyo Decks area--Joypolis is just one part of it. It's fun to just walk around and window shop, too.

They were doomed with Spencer's Gifts pulled out.

Van Helsing's Factory is at Movie Park, Germany--not Warner Bros. Movie World in Australia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A But to carry on . . . Phoenix Fuji Q

Looking forward to riding this one later this year. Taron looks great after dark!

Van Helsing's Factory Warner Brothers Movie World (Australia)

Perhaps it was . . . Or not.

So was I. This ride looks incredible--great mix of animatronics, physical sets, and projections, coupled with a cool ride system.

Jack's photos are excellent, and it looks like they really went all out on theming this park. Looking forward to seeing more.

Nagashima Spaland looks "generic" on the surface, but it's a cool place. I really like their haunted house (so wonderfully weird), and Acrobat looks like fun, too.

^Being as we already have a thread about rumors and crazy ideas, I moved your post in here. We also have a discussion thread devoted to Kings Island. Thank you.

I like how SeaWorld combines these new coasters with new learning experiences and exhibits, too. The did some nice work on both of their Manta coasters.

Josef Belgian Blonde Ale This would be OK as a light summer beer, but I much prefer Belgian-style tripel ales.

Opening the water rides in the spring can be hit or miss. It may depend on the weather and staffing. Then again, I've been to BGW when it was snowing in the spring yet people were still riding Escape from Pompeii.

Don't worry. Someday Dueling Dragons will look just like it does in Japan...

^Exactly. They're even using re-furbed/re-themed Gwazi trains.

Tempesto at BGW on New Year's Day.

Yep--pretty much "Tempesto West" or "Superman South," but these Premiere rides are fun. Should be a good fit for SeaWorld.

^^I also prefer Hollywood Dream to Hulk and Rip Ride 'n Rockit. The Backdrop version of Dream is lots of fun.

I like Universal Japan a lot. It's too bad that Space Fantasy was closed; it's a great ride, even if it doesn't make much sense (unless you speak Japanese, I guess). And yay for Japanese Jaws!
