And finally that long rumored Takabisha-clone has been confirmed for New Jersey's new mall.
The park will be fully indoors, themed to Nickelodeon. The mall will be operated by the same company behind the Mall of America, which also has a Nick-themed park.

Was wondering when this thread would pop up.
Been playing Disneyland Adventures on Windows 10, and while it's not exactly a great game, it's a great recreation of Disneyland Park circa 2011.

Thanks for making the thread :)
I was at Phantasialand this week-end in Germany (near Cologne, where the Gamescom takes place) and it was really really fun.
I was blown away by Chiapas and River Quest, two water rides that are really fun (and extremely wet ! Wasn't not that great with 6°C) and Black Mamba and Taron, the later one now being my favorite coaster ever !
Also, Klugheim is awesome. Just listen to that shit:

I really was surprised, it was my first time there and everything up to "main street" screamed CHEAP at me, but once you get to the "Lands" (Fantasy, Mystery, etc.) and try out the coasters, it's a whole new world (no Disney pun intended) !
Now I can't wait to go to Disneyland Paris for the 5th time this year on Dec. 7-8, we've booked a room in the Disneyland Hotel since it's my GFs birthday :)
Yeah, the main street is pretty much the only area left of the original park. Once they had no more room to expand, they started demolishing old rides and lands to build new ones. And all of those look amazing.
Didn't watch the video but I can't wait to see it live in 4 weeks !
Yeah sure, I'll subscribe to this thread. And grace you with a video of the 2nd year of World Of Color: Season Of Light.
The Goofy decorating segment to TSO is so good. Some of the best work Disney has done.

Well, and Sandusky.

The new forum allows for youtube embeds. I'll post some POVs of lesser known roller coasters. These pack a punch!

Just throwing this out there, but if Disney-Fox deal goes through, that there is a possible way to rebrand Disney Hollywood Studios. Change the name to Disney-Fox Studios, come with some Planet of the Apes and Ice Age attractions, hell, they could revive ExtraTERRORestial Alien Encounter as just a straight-up Alien attraction like it was originally intended.
So would I, but let's be realistic. Plus, Hollywood Studios is made for IP farming.
So glad I PM'ed goldrusher, as I was about to make a new OT for Theme parks.
Anyway, I was going to post my trip report back at the other place, but then it all went to crap, and I didn't know about this thread till just now, so here is a quick TR for my most recent jaunt down to WDW.
I went down in Oct for a few reasons:
1. to see family
2. Halloween Horror Nights
3. Avatar: Flight of Passage
4. Jungle Trek VIP tour at Animal Kingdom.
1. Family is good. Thanks for asking. lol
2. Halloween Horror Nights was, as always, awesome. I am sad that this was the last year for the Bill & Ted show, as it was always a must see for me whenever I was down there.
3. Avatar: Flight of Passage. This ride is AMAZING! It's like Soarin....on crack! The first time I went on, I waited about 2.5hrs, and when I got to the loading area I found out that one entire theater broke down, so they were only loading one side of the ride, and so I got a free fast pass to use on anything in the park. I highly recommend you ride this thing if you find yourself down in Disney anytime soon. Conversely, I do not recommend you ride the River boat ride, as it is the dumbest, most boring thing I ever sat through. Thank god I had a FP for that, because I only waited like 5min to get on, but the standby line was around 80min... poor bastards. Seriously, avoid this thing at all costs, unless the standby is like no wait, or 5min. Then go on and see how bad it is for yourself. Anyway, back to that free fast pass I got. I used it to ride Flight of Passage again, and it was worth it!!! Hopewfully at some point they'll open the Single Rider line....
4. Jungle Trek VIP tour was great. It was worth the $$$ to experience it, but I'll never do it again, since it never really changes. If you haven't experienced this tour, I can not recommend it enough. So much fun!
Ok, thats my report.
:)

I have to assume that this was the last year because Universal is going to bulldoze that area and turn it into some sort of Harry Potter expansion... its the only logical choice I can come up with as to why they would get rid of one of their most popular HHN shows....
Damn, that was one old ass ride.... What are they putting in its place?
The park actually has 4 more coasters that are older! It's renowned for its classic woodies.

As for what's replacing this one, no idea. This came out of nowhere. :(

Yes!
It still is the biggest one of them all, with some of the best versions of the classics. Many of them recently renovated and improved.
No. But yes too. It's comolicated.
B&T cost A LOT to produce and run every year. A lot. So removing B&T opens up spending for houses and new shows. At the same time I know the Ministry is coming sometime. Before Nintendo? After? Not sure. But it's coming. Even then I'm still going to miss the show.
I remember playing the Blackpool Pleasure Beach scenario in RCT and being fascinated with how everything was just stacked on top of everything else.
So, California Screamin shut down for good the other day to being its change over to the Incredi-coaster. Seems like they are going to be enclosing the covered sections to make tunnels out of them and will be adding some Incredibles themed elements to them. It also looks like they will be adding a tunnel toward the end of the ride that does not currently exist at all... probably some sort of final themed element to finish the story that the new ride is going to tell...
As an east coaster, I do not get to DL as often as others, so I look forward to seeing this new themed land when they are finished with the change over from Paradise Pier to Pixar Pier.

I don't know how you all rate Alton Towers (UK), but they've just announced a wooden roller coaster with fire effects:

No, Alton Towers is the place that built a psychosis themed coaster that crashed and caused people to lose legs.
They're also adding an Edna thing to the start.
Also soon Star Tours will change. One line will be Episodes 1-6 and the other line will be Episodes 7-8. That's happening before May.
I also read they are going to be enclosing some of the sections of the coaster to make tunnels that will have some sort of effects on the inside as you ride through... should be a pretty cool upgrade when done.
Holy Shit!!! That looks like an amazing coster. The theming on that is insane... especially with all that mood lighting...
I'm betting money on Disneyworld Animal Kingdom.
I'm actually not sure they can legally put it in Orlando. From what I read GOTG was already a very delicate situation and I'm sure the same would be true with Panther.
1) please god no
2) Black Panther is included in the Marvel contract with UOR
It's funny that all of Disney's "parks on the cheap" have been reimagined due to guest reaction.
Some interesting notes
Some interesting notes
- Marvel appears to be the blanket HKDL version that DCA will also get
- Is the concept art just artist interpretation or is DSP only receiving part of Sw:GE?
- Lagoon for WoC like show?
- Frozen ride appears to be the HKDL comcept, which means it's just Malesteom again.
This is double the amount of money that DCA received in its Grand California Makeover. (Cars, Mermaid, WoC, etc.)
