What's new for 2020?

My apologies, I did not realize this thread had not been released yet.

 

Just like we did for 2011 - 2019 this thread will serve as a place to house a list of "what's new" for 2020 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.

 

If you think we missed anything let me know and I'll add all verifiable attractions.

 

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.

Thanks for compiling this!

 

I think the entry for Walibi Holland should be for Walibi Belgium.

 

Is it worth mentioning some of the rides that just barely opened at the end of 2019 like Fun Spot Kissimmee's Hurricane?

Great list you've put together, Larry! Thanks for doing this.

 

An addition to this list? There's also the new Happy Ride w/Baymax

flat ride, that's opening the same time as Beauty/Beast in Tokyo Disneyland.

Love when you do this thread, thanks Larry!

ditto what others have said. . thanks so much Larry!

 

great to have it all in one thread.

I saw a reference to a Baymax meet and greet in one thread, In my free time I'll look again in the TDL thread.

 

thanks

^It's basically Tow Mater's Junkyard Jamboree but themed to Baymax.

Nice list! One addition would be Venus Vortex at Lake Compounce. https://www.lakecompounce.com/venusvortex

So many great new additions next year, it's wild to see that every SeaWorld and Busch park is getting a new coaster next year. Jersey Devil Coaster, Iron Gwazi and Mickey and Minnie's runaway railway are the ones I'm looking forward to the most for parks I'll be visiting. I'll probably avoid trying to see most pictures from it but really looking forward to Nintendo Land in Japan as well but I don't see myself making it over there next year to see it.

Gunna be a great year!

 

Cant wait for Orion, Jersey Devil, Iron Gwazi, Pantheon and Ice Breaker which looks pretty fun. These are just what I can easily do! Gotta try and fit in Hershey and some of the 2019 rides I missed!

 

Thanks for the thread!

And to recap on the SDC Mystic River Falls attraction, here is a recap with some construction site videos I shot earlier this year.

I totally forgot about F.L.Y. at Phantasialand!

 

Thanks for putting this together Larry!

This compilation list is the best thing I've seen all day.

 

Is that F.L.Y. at Phantasialand the same thing as this Rookburgh thing?

Rookburgh is the steam punk themed area that will include the new F.L.Y. coaster from Vekoma. A new hotel, the Charles Lindbergh hotel, is being built alongside Rookburgh.
