Few details are accessible without deeper searches but it looks like Vekoma is filing a lawsuit against B&M regarding the Pipeline coaster at Sea World Orlando.

SC Holdings purchased the park today and is promising a $10 million investment. The former CEO of Tivoli Gardens also is joining the advisory board.

Very sad news. After multiple injuries previously Do-Dodonpa had been closed for investigations and modifications but Fuji-Q has now announced that it will be too difficult to remedy the ride and therefore will cease operations.

The Six Flags shareholders have approved the merger of Cedar Fair and Six Flags. Cedar Fair unit holders do not need to vote. The merger is currently under review by the DOJ.

Not withstanding the typical Herschend over-reaction to low key announcements, I guess this is cool?

Hershey has announced they are putting new seats and restraints on SkyRush. I'm excited about the station improvements they talk about but I really don't know that the new restraints are going to make it a better experience..... SkyRush consistently scared the shit out of me and I loved it for that. I guess time will tell.

What do you think? Are you excited for more comfort or do you think the more secure feeling will take away from the ride experience?

This is a perplexing one. It looks like perhaps they are rebuilding with wood track but that's also potentially just sub structure. The fact that they are using RMC is odd.... This is either a really clever misdirect or a troll that is so blatant that it's meant to be it's own misdirect...... or, most likely, we are all about to read way too much into something that doesn't mean much lol

EDIT: This video kinda seals the deal that it was a troll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgYbY6IS8TE

After last week's tragic fire which resulted in the death of an employee and complete devastation to the newly built water park, Liseberg has announced that they are going to work to rebuild the park.

Extremely disappointing news. Lakemont Park will not open any of their amusement rides in 2024 which includes Leap the Dips which is the world's oldest coaster.

It's finally (officially) announced. Probably nothing new mentioned that we don't already know but it does solidify How to Train Your Dragon, Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, and Dark Universe as well as a few other details.
