My apologies, I misread it as Doppelmyer because Catskill Thunder at Belleayre is a Doppelmyer. It is a Poma according to Liftblog

Huss Top Spin spotted at Adventureland New York! Believed to be a relocation from the German fair circuit, but not sure which.

Top Spin from Swiss showman Buser, was just sold off after 30 years on the fair circuit. Photo belongs to my team.
If I had a nickel for every time a Huss top spin randomly showed up at a US park in 2024, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much really, but I think we all prefer being a dime richer. Wishing the park the best with this one.

Apparently Brean Theme Park has announced a new roller coaster for the 2024 season as part of an "expansion", named Runaway Train: https://www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/...e-park-announces-expansion-new-rollercoaster/
There's very little info available about it, as it has not been added to RCDB yet and the park are yet to update their website. However, here's what the Weston Mercury had to say about it:

Exciting! Are we expecting one of the usual lower-tier UK park coaster types, or can I dare to dream that they might be getting something a little more unique and substantial? I'd certainly love for it to be the latter given that it's my closest theme park and I only live an hour away by car, but given Brean's previous track record, I'm not sure I should get my hopes up... although I guess they could quite easily do a Florida Fun Spot and unleash something unexpectedly brilliant!Weston Mercury said:

I have guess on the coaster, last year Adventure Wonderland closed most of their rides and simplified their offering due to costs.
This included their coaster Wild Bills Runaway Train, loose the wild bill, not to far of a drive for delivery so mabey this

This would make sense. It has a pre-built train that would suit the name Brean has given, and it would technically fit the bill of being a “family fun” coaster for “all thrillseekers” (although I’d argue that the description given in the news article would be overselling it somewhat, as the scale of that ride above suggests it’s more of a kiddie coaster). It would also definitely be in Brean’s price range, and it would be very par-for-the-course with the other rides in that park.I have guess on the coaster, last year Adventure Wonderland closed most of their rides and simplified their offering due to costs.

Some more Adventureland Long Island news: They are getting the first R.E.S. Wave Twister in 2025. Basically a Disko with a turn in the track and an extra axis of rotation.
The name of the Top Spin opening this year is 'Moon Chaser'.

Wonderla Kochi in India has last weekend opened their new Zamperla Air Race, with Malayalam actor Arjun Ashokan on hand to help inaugurate it. It's very typical of the Wonderla chain to bring a local celebrity to host their new rides' opening ceremonies, they've put together a nice video as well of the debut;

Something completely different. Ethiopia is getting it's first ever looping coaster. A Zhipao built looping coaster will open later this year at the new GAST Conference & Wellness City Resort in Mekele.
Not a bad step up for a country that currently only had a single powered dragon as a permenant coaster.

Santa's Village is getting a new second-hand dark ride called 'North Pole Expedition'. Sounds normal, right? Wrong. This ride is second-hand which last operated at Dinosaur Beach in New Jersey and has sat in storage ever since the park closed over 24 years ago. Interesting to see a ride revived after such a long time!
