Worlds of Fun announced another new ride for Planet Snoopy, Sally's Swing Set. Looks like it's being made by Zamperala.

I don't think Lightwater Valleys Skeleton Cove is on there yet which is 5 relocated rides from Loudon Castle in a new area. Also they have bought a Top Scan nammed Whirlwind.

There is a new roller coaster under construction at Fuji-Q Highland. I was click around Youtube and found this www.youtube.com/user/purplefinale#p/a/u/1/R-HNTNhwNaM. Looks to be a Euro Fighter.

Is this a source? It´s unnamed and they don´t tell the park, but this seems to be the project:

 

Another exciting project for next year is Gerstlauer’s largest roller coaster. The still-unnamed Launched Euro-Fighter will be a massive attraction and located in Asia. “We were very pleased with our first Launched Euro-Fighter, which opened at Hansa Park in 2009,” said Gerstlauer. “From a guest perspective, the launch and beyond-vertical drop are outstanding. From a technical standpoint, this coaster will be the debut of our four-tube track, which will save our customer’s considerable expense when it comes to foundation costs.

I hope this coaster will open before we are on the TPR-Japan-Trip

^ Then we can all struggle to get on it while we're at Fuji-Queue :S

 

The site looks massive! This could be a really interesting ride

Hey Everyone. I'm bumping this thread as we are getting close to the season to remind everyone about the new installations around the world.

 

Just refer to the first page of the thread for a summary.

NEW ATTRACTION AT TUSENFRYD 2011

 

Our new family attraction is 13.6 m high and has four boats, each of which holds 4 people. (Height Regulations: 110 cm alone - under, only with adults.)

The participant sits in the boat, and it shall praise over the years that the boat will move upward. Those who row "faster" comes first to the top.

 

The new ride reminds me of those towers where you are suppose to pull yourself up to the top

( Like this : http://blog.winesworld.no/images/legoland/legoland-1.jpg )

Except here you are suppose to row?! Probably fun to watch

the new ride

Hey guys, I haven't been on in a while but I have a fun update. I was in Hong Kong last week and a helicopter ride took us right over Ocean Park. I didn't (unfortunately) have a chance to visit, but I did get some photos from the air of the park and specifically the new B&M, Hair Raiser. It looks to be coming along smashingly!

 

Enjoy.

Here's one.

Another.

Dutch Wonderland has posted a teaser album on their Facebook page showing what looks to be a Zamperla Kite Flyer as a new ride for 2011. That's apparently not all, as they have commented on the album saying there will be two new rides.
