Could it be time for Blue Fire to have a new sponsor? It’s not exactly the best image from a PR point of view.

Eurosat's temporary PacMan look continues.

Patrick Marx of Mack NeXT, known perhaps best from the NeXT Park Nerds videos in 2020, explained on EPFriends what exactly is being done.
After Poseidon the track stealing thief has also visited Wodan. Or it's receiving some retracking too.
Rust are also soon discussing a planning application for an Open Air Show Venue for TV recordings with production staff facilities. Obviously for Immer Wieder Sonntages to move out of the way for the BigDipper - where exactly it will go though is not yet clear.

the GRP and aluminum triangles are being restored, which means they are removed, the foil removed, several coats of paint applied, and reassembled. The first restored parts are already there and assembled, so the ball will never be completely "naked". Unfortunately... I would have been happy about an open-air ride
There are a total of 29 different forms (of triangle), the most common appearing 185 times, but there are some that only appear 5 times.

It’s really quite nuts how much EP seemingly gets done in a closed season; to be honest, so much happens at EP so frequently that some stuff that would be treated as quite major news in many places just becomes background noise within an EP update!So many things going on this closed season!!!!!!

A press release has gone out today, the foundation stone for the new open air arena (to replace the one which will be gone because of the new coaster) will be laid on Feb 14th, and it’s located next to the Krønasår hotel!

No more so than the arena/dome at the park entrance end of the park are.In the long term plans, does it call for making that area a second gate? Or is the aim for that to be waterpark + hotel (with obviously this new ents area attached) and the theme park to be separate?

I guess they want to add more and more stuff to that end of the resort as times goes on, firstly they’ve got loads of empty land to do what they want with, plus if they add to the main park, it stops theme park expansion.
I think we’ll see plenty more bits added to this end of the resort as time goes on.

Having not followed EP for a while, what is happening to Poseidon?

They are re-tracking parts of the ride, including the first drop. I think the new track has just arrived on site in the last week.

With Olaf Scholz somewhat unexpectedly already cancelling certification of the Nord Stream II gas pipeline in response to Russia's invasion of Ukranian states, the West waits with baited breath and wonders; what of Blue Fire's weird propaganda queue for 2022?
