Now when the park is closed, they can increase the construction speed:
/// Marcus
Hopefully they can get it done by April, looks like they've still got a lot of work to do.
-
Yesterday additional artwork has been revealed and to me it looks like the old theme will be still there in form of the VR ride (which will have a separate entrance btw)
I was gonna question the sci-fi theme of the VR entrance compared to everything else but since it's supposedly right next to Silver Star it fits.
-
Good to hear they're going to fix it. Heide-Park just wouldn't be the same (and tbh not worth the trip) without it.
-
As fitting as it is, the problem with bringing the Iron Man ride to Disneyland is that it probably wouldn't make sense in terms of placement since DCA is getting the Marvel Land in the future.
Imo Marvel like Pixar is so vast of a universe that just limiting it to one corner of the resort wouldn't do it justice so I'd be fine with Iron Man going to Tomorrowland while the DCA space is used for other Marvel properties (plus Iron Man does fit TL's mission statement of the possibilities of human achievement).

I'd always wondered if they would ever one day do away with Tomorrowland completely. Then when rumors regarding Star Wars Land first surfaced and people suggested a TL makeover, I thought that was it. But seeing as Disney nixed that, it gives me hope that TL will live on in it's intended form. I miss those old rides like Innerspace, Mission to Mars, Innovations and Circle Vision. I would like TL to get away from space and sci-fi, and get back to future.
Though it is an 'alternate sci-fi reality', Big Hero 5 would definitely qualify as a look at the future. Which is what TL was always meant to be. It wasn't meant to be Space Land. Space Mountain at least could qualify as looking forward to space travel, but rides like Star Tours, Buzz Lightyear and the Submarine Voyage (which as far as I'm concerned is in Fantasyland) have never really been "tomorrow".
Am I crazy and alone in this thinking?
The problem with Tomorrowland was that the future caught up and dated it meaning Disney had to keep making changes.
Only way to solve that would be to go FAR into the future like past 2100 or something but that's hardly "tomorrow".

Drayton Manor? Has the only stand-up coaster with a zero-g roll and opened in October.
-
Vekoma’s answer to the Mack Xtreme Spinner? Sounds exciting.
-
This park...
-Has a coaster that is the only one of its kind to contain a certain inversion
-Is the fourth largest park in its country as of 2017
-Debuted in a weird month for an amusement park
-Has a 4D Cinema
Heide-Park? Has a B&M wing with a unique inversion and opened in August.
-
An aquatrax with 5+ inversions...
This park has the design philosophy of a RCT player. I love it.
-
Is the park still set for a 2018 opening? The Disney/Fox deal will need to go through government approval (which would take 12 to 18 months) so Disney may not have a say on Resorts World's plans until the acquisition is complete, at which point the park would already be finished and open.

Based on my experience this past October, El Toro is kind of inconsistent in terms of toughness. The first few hills can’t be smoother but that turnaround has some awful jackhammering, so does the valley of the hill after the turnaround and the bottom of the rolling thunder hill. Otherwise El Toro is perfectly smooth and despite the headache I got after a few rides, it is my favorite wooden coaster. That kind of messed up design is definitely something only Intamin is willing to do.
Interesting anecdote about the turnaround because that was where Colossos started falling apart for me (the first two big hills were fine and had some nice float), and that's not even getting to the jackhammer helix of doom.
-
Having ridden Colossos and Balder within a month of each other the difference was night and day to me. Maybe the high standards of parks like Liseberg have spoiled me a bit, but I felt that Heide was lacking on the upkeep side in general.
-
One of the largest woodies in Europe may go the way of Son of Beast at this rate. What a mess.
-
Mack Media registered this logo with the trademark office. VR version?
-
The racing Sons Of Anarchy coasters are also going in.

Any word on the manufacturer? If it's a motorbike coaster like the theme would suggest it looks like either a Zamperla or an Intamin.

New area including motorbike coaster themed to the Ducati motorcycle brand coming in 2019

Something posted at screamscape.com ....New Major Attraction - Planned - (11/23/17) According to Forbes, Disney is now planning on adding some kind of “major new attraction” to Disneyland Paris in 2024 as part of a massive new investment into the property now that they have full control over the property. Other new additions and capital expenditure projects planned over the next decade include upgrades to several hotel properties as well as adding Marvel themed attractions to the Walt Disney Studios Paris theme park.
Wasn't it said somewhere that Disney's deal with the French government meant they had to get a third park built at some point? Or am I misremembering it?
2024 seems pretty far off for just one attraction unless it's part of or preceded by a long-term expansion of WDS.
-
Are they single-car trains only or is it possible to make longer trains?
-
^I remember it had that requirement when it went backward, but I didn't know if it was lowered similar to Raging Spirits when the trains were turned back around.
It's still 140 cm

-
^Space Mountain in Paris used to have a 52" requirement, if I remember correctly. If Disney's legitimately looking into the launched flyer, I'm sure they'd be able to work out something with Vekoma to knock a couple inches off the minimum requirements to bring it into that 50-52" range.
Indiana Jones et le Temple du Peril has a 55 in (140 cm) height requirement, but Paris has always been somewhat out of odds with the rest of the chain (incidentally Raging Spirits is only 117 cm).
-
The original information was probably inaccurate. Up until a few years ago RCDB also had Colossos' top speed listed as 120 km/h (~75 mph) but it was lowered to 110 km/h (~68 mph).
-
The Wreck-It Ralph attraction that would (should?) have replaced Stitch's Great Escape at Magic Kingdom.
That's only ever been a rumor.
