ADVENTURE ISLAND (UK)

icon_STOP2024 - New Drop Tower Ride - (1/14/2024) Adventure Island in the UK has posted some new pictures as they work on adding the foundations for their new drop tower ride for the 2024 season. According to other updates the tower will stand 38 meters tall and be a 16-seat model from SBF-Visa. The park is still trying to figure out what to name it, but has narrowed the options down to four: The Tower, The Needle, Up 360 and Vertigo. It was also interesting to note that according to the park, the tower would occasionally be run in a rotating observation tower mode, minus the thrilling drop.

 
    (11/27/2023) According to a post on Twitter, Adventure Island in the UK is said to be adding a new drop tower attraction for the 2024 season. According to the post, it looks as if it might replace the park’s Pharoah’s Fury attraction, which could be either removed or just moved elsewhere in the park.

BELANTIS  (Germany)
Parque Reunidos

2024/2025 - New Attraction - In Planning - (10/9/22) In the latest video from Coaster Chall he shares details about a new attraction that is supposed to be in development for Belantis in Germany. Unfortunately the park has apparently only confirmed that they are working on plans for something, but aren’t ready to reveal anything just yet, which is unfortunate. Thus far Belantis hasn’t really followed the typical theme park business strategy of adding new attractions every year or two. In fact, I believe the last new attraction added to Belantis was the “Cobra des Amun Ra” family coaster back in 2015. So if any Screamscape sources have some insight into what Belantis may be up to, be sure to let us know.
    Otherwise the video goes on to speculate a little bit, including looking at the best possible sites where the park could add a large future attraction, such as a new roller coaster.

 

BELLEWAERDE PARK (Belgium)
Compagnie des Alpes (CDA)

icon_STOP2024 - Mundo Amazonia - (2/10/2024) Bellewaerde Park will open MUNDO AMAZONIA, a new themed attraction area that will open on March 30th. The area will be anchored by a massive new raft slide that will feature a traditional lift up to a set of interwoven spiral descents, but after that splash-down the raft will be loaded into a vertical elevator style lift and dropped down into a massive half-pipe for the finale.
   Oh, and if you are headed out to Bellewaerde Park this year, don’t forget to take a spin on El Volador, the only remaining Huss Topple Tower ride in the western world.

 

BETO CARRERO WORLD (Brazil)

???? - Future Rumors - (4/15/2023) I’m told that following their Nerf Mania project, Beto Carrero World would like to expand their offerings for little kids and is hoping to expand their offering of Dreamworks Animation characters. Currently the park does offer some Dreamworks character experiences, with appearances by characters from Madagascar, Shrek and Megamind, but I would think that future might be unclear ever since Universal Studios bought Dreamworks Animation in 2016.
    I’m also hearing that the park believes they will likely have to retire their Star Mountain (Vekoma Corkscrew) roller coaster sometime in the next 5 years or so, and may have started to look into modern replacement options. One rumor suggests they may have been talking with B&M about Wing Coaster or Dive Machine concepts.

CHIMELONG SPACESHIP (China)

icon_STOPPark News - (3/10/2024) An incredible story about the creation of the Chimelong Spaceship attraction has been posted to Blooloop this week, documenting some of the history of how the attraction came to be as told by the Bezark Company who was brought on-board to help flesh-out and create a lot of the custom theming you see as you journey from one section to another within the attraction. Even more impressive, this all started pre-COVID and still managed to find a way to finish it all on the other side, despite a two-year gap in being able to send their crew on site.

CONNY-LAND (Switzerland)

2024 - Rollerball - (4/23/2023) A post on Facebook from Conny-Land confirmed that the park is planning on adding Rollerball, a new roller coaster that will take the place of the current Space Climb, a space shuttle themed kids playground. The Switzerland theme park actually first mentioned plans to add the Rollerball coaster (from RES) way back in 2019, with a planned 2021 opening but the pandemic put those plans on hold over the years that followed.
    Based on the artwork shown, this actually appears to be two side-by-side RES Roller Ball coasters running parallel to each other for increased capacity, but mounted to a single central support structure.

2024 - Nothing is known at this time, nothing added in 2022 or 2023

icon_STOP2025 - New Roller Coaster - Rumor - (3/15/2024) While we wait to see if Gyeongju World really is getting that rumored new RMC Raptor coaster, I’m told that the park has put up a new teaser along a construction well inside the park near Draken Valley. The banner shows off a series of new rides added to the park from 2017 to 2021, with the final box featuring just a giant “?” and the text, “What’s Next? 2014.10”.
    With that in mind, it appears that the park is hoping to open this latest attraction in October 2014 and not in early 2025 as we had tried to guess. Oh, and as you might guess, Draken Valley would be where the park’s Draken coaster (B&M Dive Machine) was added in 2018.
 
    (3/2/2024) Gyeongju World seems to have been in the midst of a park-ride upgrade for their roller coasters over the past decade. Going back to around 2015 when the park retired two older coasters (Space Tour & Space 2000) they began to add new modern design coasters. This includes Draken (B&M Dive Machine) in 2018 and Valkyrie (Gerstlauer Shuttle) in 2021 that now join their existing Phaethon (B&M Inverted) that opened in 2007.
    The park retired their last old-gen coaster in 2023 (Dragon 2 Loop) and rumor has it that the park may be planning to add their next new coaster in 2025. Based on some pictures taken in the USA this week, some bright orange RMC Raptor track may be destined to be shipped to South Korea soon. Follow this link for more details and pictures of the track in question.

Lookfor Hossoland to open as early as Spring 2024.

THE LAND OF LEGENDS (Turkey)

???? - SpongeBob SquarePants Dark Ride and other Future Expansion Projects - (11/18/2023) According to a follow-up article posted by Blooloop about Sally Dark Rides new SpongeBob’s Crazy Carnival Ride opening in Las Vegas in early 2024, they also mention that official’s from Turkey’s “The Land of Legends” theme park were on hand at IAAPA to sign a contract to build their very own SpongeBob SquarePants dark ride. This would actually be the first SpongeBob branded dark ride to be built outside of the US.
    According to the article the new dark ride planned for The Land of Legends theme park will follow a similar storyline to the dark ride opening soon in Las Vegas, featuring vibrant sets, special effects, interactive multimedia components and animatronics, including their very own Mr. Krabs figure.

 
    (9/25/2023) While I haven’t seen anything posted on the Land of Legends website or their social media, a post on instagram and a YouTube video from a park fan reports that big expansion plans are on the way for Land of Legends. According to a translation of the post, this expansion will include a new hotel, a family entertainment center and apparently a deal was struck with Paramount because new lands and attractions are coming themed to Spongebob Squarepants, Paw Patrol and Star Trek. A large structure is already vertical, which I can only assume may be the new hotel, but that is just a guess.

NICKELODEON UNIVERSE @ Mall of China (China)

???? - New Park - (10/20/20) Another Nickelodeon Universe theme park is now under construction, this time in China, where it will be built inside the Mall of China in Chongqing. I think I missed the first announcement about this project, where BlooLoop in 2018 said it was aiming for a Dec. 2020 but that clearly isn’t happening.
    While I don’t know what the official opening date is now, according to a post on Twitter, brand new and very colorful roller coaster track has now arrived on site for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle themed roller coaster is that supposed to feature 8 inversions, be 1052m in length, 43.5m in height and hit 100 km/h.
    I’m not sure of the manufacturer, but the track does look similar in nature of some of Intamin’s trackwork. Anyone know more about this creation?

PARAMOUNT PARK CHINA -

New Park Plans - (5/30/20) Would  you believe that yet another Paramount Studios themed park project has been announced?  So far, none of them have ever been built after being announced at various locations over the globe, and now ThemeparX has posted some concept art for a new fifth Paramount Park themed concept, this one planned for Kunming, China. According to the post, the plan is to begin construction in 2021 and open by June 2024.
    The concept art sure is pretty though, with six themed lands:
    Paramount Boulevard - This serves as the entrance zone for the new park with stores and restaurants.
    Adventure City - A Hollywood themed looking zone with a Tower Records looking building at the center and home to thrill rides themed to MIssion: Impossible and The Italian Job.
    Peanuts Township - A kids land themed around the Peanuts gang characters.
    Lost Kingdom - A beautiful looking landscape of jungle ruins, home to a “Montagua River” ride a coaster called ‘Escape from Emerald Mountain”.
    Dinosaur Empire - Themed around the Dinotopia book series where humans live with intelligent dinosaurs. The concept art shows off a large flume ride that gives off some Mack Rides inspired vibes, not unlike SeaWorld’s Journey To Atlantis.
    Final Frontier - A land themed around the world of Star Trek that is sure to thrill.

SLAGHAREN (Netherlands)

2024 - Nothing is known at this time... nothing added since 2017

???? - Family Inverted Coaster - Planning - (3/21/22) According to a post from Loopings.NL, Slagharen is looking into adding a new family style Inverted coaster, which means no inversions. The interesting thing is that apparently the park has received three very different proposals from Vekoma, Premier Rides and Gerstlauer for the project and they’ve posted some video footage of each to see which concept the public likes the best.
    Each company has brought a little something new to the table with their designs. The Vekoma design, for the most part, is a typical example of Vekoma’s design work for this style ride, which makes sense as Vekoma would be the dominate supplier in the world who has built over two dozen similar style rides around the world over the past two decades.Really the only unique item I noticed here is that it would use some kind of launch technology to dispatch the train out of the station into the first half of the ride, and then use a traditional lift hill for the second half.
     The Premier Rides version is a bit of a surprise because the company has really never made an inverted coaster before. The closest to my knowledge that they have come was when Six Flags hired them to design new inverted trains for the Goliath coaster at Six Flags New England a few years ago, which ironically was just demolished a few weeks ago. The Premier design does seem to share some elements in common with Vekoma’s Family Boomerang coasters with the use of two small lift and drop tracks at each end of the ride. The semi-compact L-shaped design opts weave the tracks around each other to provide some fun visuals.
    Lastly the Gerstlauer design actually features a vertical lift hill design and a much more extreme layout, with several near-inverting elements as well as underground tunnels. The vertical lift on an inverted car would be an interesting experience, as the only similar element I can think of was on Vekoma’s infamous “Deja Vu” coasters. The layout does look fun, but may provide more thrills than Slagharen was looking to offer, which is probably a big reason as to why they are offering views of the design options to the public.

STUDIO GHIBLI PARK (Japan)

icon_STOP2024 - Valley of Witches - (1/14/2024) Ghibli Park has revealed some details about the upcoming Valley of Witches area set to open to the public on March 16. This is the fifth and final landin the park to open, themed to areas from the films Howl’s Moving Castle and Kiki’s Delivery Service. The land will feature a themed bakery, a restaurant and hot dog stand as well as a themed retail shop.
    This final land will actually be the first in the park to feature some actual amusment park style rides, including a Merry Go Round and “aerial carousel”. Guests can also visit the Witch’s house from Earwig and the Witch, plus the full scale Howl’s Moving Castle.
 
    (12/2/2023) Ghibli Park in Japan has announced the official opening date for the final area of the park… Valley of Witches. According to the announcement we can expect this final phase of the attraction to open to all guests on March 16, 2024 that will feature spaces, structures and attractions themed to films like Kiki’s Delivery Service and Howl’s Moving Castle.


 
    (10/28/2023) According to Blooloop, Japan’s new Ghibli Park is teasing the opening of the upcoming Princess Mononoke themed area that will premiere on November 1st. According to the update the land will feature a sculpture of a Tatarigami spiriti monster, a slide themed to the boar god Lord Okkoto and an area where guests can make their own “gohei-mochi rice cakes”.

TIBIDABO  (Barcelona, Spain)

2024 - New Freefall Tower - Confirmed - (7/3/22) According to a tweet from Tibidabo Amusement Park, they are planning to build a 50 meter tall free fall ride at the park for the 2024 season. Combined with the mountainside location of the park, the placement of the drop tower should provide really stunning views of the local landscape. With that in mind I’m expecting this to be one of the kind that rotates the riders around to enjoy the scenery while rising up into the sky.
