Interview with Park Owner http://blooloop.com/feature/tayto-park-irelands-theme-park/ He seemed rather secretive over the 2017 addition - even though we already know it is a log flume. Unless it is some other new attraction he is talking about. Or is it that the flume has some sort of special feature? Interesting that he said they are looking at something else major for 2018. Has the previously announced 2019 coaster been brought forwards or is this another addition before that? Interesting times for Tayto they certainly seem to be doing really well.

They were a long way away from pulling that off. Step one to desiging a smooth ride is to design a train that doesn't go rogue and fly kamakazi missions into nearby kiddy rides.

From a screenshot of a YouTube vlog (Channel: Chris Franklin). View of Log Flume construction at the end of November 2016. All that is visible over the fence is this building which most likely will be the station. The Flume is to open in April 2017, most likely when the season starts on 7th April. Interested to see what they are getting for 5.7 million euro.

Mystery Castle at Phantasialand

ah that's a shame.

From Vekoma's Facebook. Concept art of the Lech Coaster, construction is going to start soon. If it really does get all this theming and the water splash effect shown in the Concept POV video, it should be amazing coaster.

From Freizeitparks NRW's Facebook page. Taron in Phantasialand this morning.

We have a name for the new ride for 2017 (rethemed Bubbleworks). From SouthParks Facebook page: Ahead of the New Year’s Day announcement, it has been revealed on the Chessington short breaks website that the new attraction at Chessington World of Adventures Resort will be called The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure! The Gruffalo will also be arriving at the Safari Hotel in 2017 with the addition of new themed rooms featuring a range of interactive elements and a Gruffalo gift. As part of their stay guests will also receive Fastrack access to some of the Resort's rides including the new attraction.

From Twitter. Before and after.

Seems odd they aren't delaying opening. Will they seriously open a already small second gate park with part of it closed up and smelling like a barbecue? Hardly expect it to be rebuilt that quickly. Would be great it they could though!

Work continues on new River Quest theming.

Nearly 3 months after planning permission was granted, work has begun on Secret Weapon 8 at Alton Towers. Construction vehicles and offices have now appeared on a staff car park close to the main entrance of the park. This will now allow for the removal of The Flume to take place and land to be cleared. From Theme Park Worldwide

^4 outdoor coasters. Taron, Raik, Black Mamba and Colorado Adventure.

Hollywood Tour at Phantasialand. Know it isn't very popular and yes it is old and outdated. But I actually like it. Very nostalgic. Always find time to ride it.

River Quest went under a large refurbishment last closed season and received whole lot of new theming. In an interview after Klugheim opened one of the project team said that they weren't finished yet. Now that the ride is closed during the winter season work has begun. New theming rock work is currently being added to the top of the building. What else they will do is currently unknown.

Concerning report from Looopings. http://www.looopings.nl/weblog/6442/Toekomst-van-gigantische-houten-achtbaan-onzeker.html?coockie=accepted Looopings said: Future of giant wooden roller coaster uncertain The future of the spectacular wooden roller coaster Colossos in the German Heide Park amusement park remains uncertain. The sixty meter high rollercoaster was closed in late July for work. Whether the job is running again in 2017, the park can not say. "We know it yet," board member Sabrina de Carvalho said in an interview with fansite. "We are working hard, but it's looking a complex issue. There are many measurements and computations." Heide Park consults own words with "dozens of experts" on the issue. Colossos, opened in 2001, the last season was fifteen years old. The track is 1344 meters long, with a top speed of 110 kilometers per hour. Incidentally, in Europe even more impressive wooden roller coaster stopped until further notice: Wildfire is closed on Swedish Kolmarden park due to problems with the license.
