larrygator Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Just like we did for 2011 - 2015 this thread will serve as a place to house a list of "what's new" for 2016 at major parks and 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.

With the new dive coaster coming and pipescream "counting" as a coaster according to the park, maybe CP could build a dueling set of Fireballs and retake the Coaster Capital record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garet Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Everland is getting pandas for 2016: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1585731#p1585731 and a new fun house: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=70969&p=1633612#p1633612 Whatever is going on in Global Villages building could also be 2016 with the timing of when it was shuttered but it could also be 2017. I'm thinking 2016 since the flume ride had a similar replacement schedule last year. Also a hotel resort in 2017 to replace Eagle's Fortress whenever that thread opens up.
