What's New for 2015


Recommended Posts

Just like we did the past 4 years, this thread will serve as a place to house a list of "what's new" for 2015 at major parks with links to the announcements. We encourage you to notify us of any new rides/coasters by posting in this thread.

 

Discussions about individual rides and parks should continue in the appropriate discussion thread through the links in this thread.

 

Rumors will not be included. We also don't plan to list every random out of the way upcoming attraction, so outside of major announcements this is limited to parks TPR has covered (or will likely cover in the future) in the Park Index.

Nagashima Spaland's B&M flyer.

 

God...five B&M for 2015... Where are the Intamins?

http://rcdb.com/9863.htm

Here you go.

Yes! This sounds very interesting.

I highly doubt it will open on time. AFAIK nothing happened on the construction site yet.

 

If it doesn't, does this mean 2015 could be the first year in over 2 decades where Intamin hasn't built anything?

Kentucky Kingdom is also getting a 130 foot Skyscreamer and a swing ride similar to the one at SFGE

 

Thank you for pointing this out. I don't add anything until I see confirmation (or construction). In the future if you have a link please include to save a little time to allow me to update the first page quicker.

 

 

 

Where is MIA?

 

Muskegon, Michigan

 

 

If your are asking about their plans for 2014, nothing has been announced.
