What's new for 2019


Recommended Posts

Just like we did for 2011 - 2018 this thread will serve as a place to house a list of "what's new" for 2019 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.

Thank you, as always, for putting this list together. It's nice to read a summary of everything. We all know 2018 was a very good year, but I would almost argue 2019 looks even better. In North America alone, we have major, custom roller coasters at Canada's Wonderland, Carowinds, Kennywood, SFMM, and SFGAm, as well as medium-sized additions at Kentucky Kingdom, Busch Gardens Tampa, and SFDK. Not to mention a floorless conversion and loads of frisbees and other flat rides. What a time to be alive! lol

Thanks for the new (so far) list, Larry!

Much appreciated.

 

 

P.S. Shouldn't Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland be added, too? Just something I noticed, missing.

 

To be quite honest I didn't even know what Galaxy's Edge meant. I'll try to find an announcement to link to. Is this happening only at Disneyland in 2019 with a future year opening at Disney Hollywood Studio.

Thanks, there are about a dozen our major parks that haven't made announcements. Some may have infrastructure upgrades like Liseberg's parking garages or some parks may be taking a break after huge CapEx spending in 2018 like Toverland.

 

The popular/biggest park's we haven't read any new ride announcements from include but are not limited to:

US: CGA, KD, KBF, SDC, Valleyfair

Europe: Alton, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, EuropaPark, Liseberg, Toverland

We know there are rumors are there about these and other parks, but we are waiting for news.

Disneyland's will probably open between Memorial Day and the 4th of July, while Hollywood Studios' will probably open just before Thanksgiving (the Florida parks' peak season is the Thanksgiving-Christmas period).

 

I will guess that Universal will try to have their new Harry Potter coaster open a few months before DHS's Star Wars Land opens. I was at Universal on Sunday and saw some track assembled.
