    Legoland Windsor Future Developments

    I'm pretty pleased. There's a lot of design elements they have never used (the studs on the rooflines and atticas, the green roofs, the 3d planks, the sculpted trees look amazing) and overall, there seems to be more variety in terms of typologies and room types than I had expected.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I'm pretty happy with what we get to see. My biggest concern was that it may not feel like a "massive" coaster with it being only four rows. Ride vehicles at Lost Gravity always feel way too short and light to feel substantial to me, it's almost as if they were sending you off in a wild mouse...

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    It's Mack. And this is a 5 billion + dollar investment they are making here. I highly doubt they have to be cheap when choosing their trains.

    Poseidon’s Fury @ Islands of Adventure closing May 10th, making room for ”new experiences”

    So I guess that's confirmation for Zelda then. Why else would they have taken it down? That's huge news!

    Turns out I was right, after all, lol. I think the project deserves its own thread, though.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Well, I do enjoy the boldness of the font. And I do enjoy how the font and the colour palette both scream 1979 to me, which is a nice nod to the park's roots. That's what's really bothering me about this.

    WTF Merlin?

    I want to straighten up that tilted o so badly.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Merlin have just announced what sounds like a mere retheme of and some new ride vehicles for the Safari and Fairytale Brook. A "reimagined" Dino Dig Area will feature Meet & Greats. The rethemed land will be called Dino Valley and will open in spring 2024. So it seems that the 2025 project went...

    Markings around Flight School at Legoland Florida

    Merlin have issued a press release announcing both a Ferrari Build & Race experience for the park and a Sea Life Center for the resort. So probably that's what's going to the Flight School site? This comes as somewhat of a surprise to me as there is already one operating in Orlando, so...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    I remember reading an interview with Merlin's CEO Scott O'Neill somewhere (maybe Blooloop? Don't remember), where he stated his plan was to establish Merlin itself as a more recognizable brand, so I wonder if we will see something along the line of "Merlin Thorpe Park Resort" or "Thorpe Park - a...

    WTF Merlin?

    I guess it's a mixture of both preventing people from spending money at the parks due to crowds ("look, ride X has a 90 minute queue, let's not go today!") and making sure as many people as possible have location tracking enabled during their park visit in the app so they can monitor visitor...

    WTF Merlin?

    I know it's not exactly the same, but Queue Times usually does the trick for me for Merlin parks.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Interesting. Screamscape speculated here this might be the LEGO Factory Adventure Ride from New York (and Korea), but the stated hall is both significantly larger and a few meters taller than that ride. So might this fit a themed indoor coaster? Merlin are currently adding coasters to LEGOLAND...

    CWOA | Mandrill Mayhem (World of Jumanji) | B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    Merlin aim for a 90% satisfaction rate. So anything less than 10% of visitors on average unsatisfied with their visit is ok with them. Meanwhile, if I recall correctly, Efteling's aim is to get an average (!) guest satisfaction score of 9 out of 10, so to make up for one pissed guest (rating...
