^Yeah I think the Chessington one could be true, I think I've read it somewhere. But the others, no chance, they're ridiculous.

That seriously makes no sense at all. Cloning an out of date, mild, prototype coaster is not a good thing. What on earth does that mean, out of date? it's a coaster not a biscuit. I've pretty much read all of those comments on the last few pages and almost none of it is true. Like this whole Rita and Stealth thing you keep mentioning is absolute fiction, it's never been confirmed by anyone at all as true, in fact it's a very old rumor that someone must have just said at some point as some sort of joke. Are you seriously trying to say they designed one coaster and then cut the design in half to make two, just no, they're two separate coasters. I don't know where you've got this 'Air was meant for Thorpe Park' thing from either, that's not true as well.

^Where have you seen that one? of course it's a possibility, its a coaster and any of them could be added in the future. But don't expect to see another coaster at Thorpe until at least 2020, maybe slightly earlier if we're lucky.

^I like that they've added that small dark ride section before the elevator lift, very nice.

^That spike looks very interesting, it looks like the track will twist, i hadn't realized it would do that until now.

^Looks like they have the same style restraints as Tarons

^In what way do they not look like wooden coasters? sure, they have a steel lift hill structure, but you can clearly see the wood. Plus Kolmården are planning to fill in those gaps on Wildfire with wood anyway.

^The top of the lift hill is also painted in the blue color, so it seems that it's the tallest parts of the coaster that's blue. Seems likely that they've done it that way for a reason rather than just randomly, maybe they were forced to do it after it was installed to lessen the impact on the skyline? You're right though, it doesn't look great.

^Interesting, I've found it and he does indeed say that. If that's still going ahead then we certainly do have a lot to look forward to still!

I don't know where people keep getting this four projects thing from, no one has been able to actually produce any evidence of Alan saying this, or even Fred, no videos, quotes or anything. I don't recall any of them ever saying anything about 2017, never mind these apparent four projects in the works. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

^Looking forward to seeing those pictures!

You can see on the webcam that Mystic Timbers has gone vertical!

Very nice to be getting updates often, thanks for posting the pictures!

^^Although it was listed on the long term plan, a dark ride was also planned for this year too and that didn't happen, so it's likely that plan has now changed. So unfortunately not no, there's no dark ride coming. It's a major thing that would have been announced along with the other attractions or in the place of.

^I seem to remember they got at least one new train, not sure about the other one though.

^Fantastic, looking forward to seeing this one go up!

^yeah absolutely no question about it, you can certainly make out a Super Loop in the teaser.

^Great, i didn't think there'd be any problems with the planning process. Looking forward to seeing construction starting now!

Well that's the point of adding a hotel, to bring in visitors from overseas as well as encouraging people to stay on site.

^Probably not, the Disko is more likely I'd say.

^Thanks for posting all these updates, that looks like a good size queue and not too repetitive.

^^It's just a theory at this point, there's been no city plans seen like the others that are getting one for certain. So it could be anything as of now. All we have is the land clearing and the fact that the area surrounding it will be closing down later in the year to allow construction.

Does anyone actually know what interview this is? because quite a few people have mentioned it and i don't actually recall either Alan or Fred giving any interviews regarding next year, never mind ones were he apparently says they have four projects next year.

^Voyage To The Iron Reef opened in 2015. So they haven't done any since that year, not 2014. I do get your point though, it has been a while and dark rides were originally on their plans for both this year and next year i believe, guess those plans have been changed a bit.

^No, it's going to Cedar Fair
