Slightly random, and please move if I've missed something and we know where this is going, but a post from last month by the manufacturer Simworx said they are retrofitting their Immersive Flume system to a UK park's current water ride during this year. The only place I could see this fitting is...

You want Passporto Ordinario to submit your passport but that is Italian, not German!! Never had to do online check-in a phantasialand so must be a new thing but it certainly is a curious language choice on their part!

Team edit: This topic has been split off from the Puy du Fou thread. Interestingly Kynren still have plans to open a day park like Puy du Fou called 11 arches park. Drove past the site yesterday and it looks like they have begun construction on some aivaires and they have announced that there...

Do you think that an element of it is that they are prioritising clients over themselves, where there are fees and penalties for being late, and hence this is always at the bottom of the to-do list?

The new gondola at Legoland is a Poma gondola not a Doppelmayr like Disney's - Poma was obviously the manufacturer of the Alton Towers Skyride as well so I wonder if there has been a multi-deal to build this new one and get some work don on the Alton one.

Slightly relevant, but Legoland New York are getting a new skyride this year - shows that Merlin as a company are coming back around to investment in transport infrastructure for terrain challenged parks. From: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3XygDfBRDU/?igsh=MWhzc2F6YXRidGIwdw==

I'm sort of confused what is new about this deal other then the announcement of the Peppa Pig Duplo area at Legoland Billund. There has been the Peppa Pig world's of plays, areas in Heidi Park and Gardaland and the park in Florida (and news about Texas and Germany Peppa Pig parks) for ages now

https://amusementtoday.com/2024/01/imps-mack-rides-and-lagotronics-projects-announce-the-smurfs-gameplay-theater-a-groundbreaking-interactive-dark-ride/ Mack Rides have announced they will now sell a built-in partnership version of the gameplay theatre featuring the Smurf. Presume this won't be...

From: https://twitter.com/MichaelMack/status/1747546589906756087 Latest Michael Mack tweet includes the concept art of the turn table also definitely suggesting that I think it will look like that when the coaster opens and not be a later addition. Also, not sure if the Croatia fort concept...

Was looking at the Resort Pass Silver block out dates and came across something interesting. From the grids below, it would indicate that the park will open in 2025 at the start of February and the winter shut down will be reduced to 3 weeks. There is always a chance they just haven't updated...

As we were there for new year's eve, only ride closed was Pirana for refurb and one of the fairytale forest scenes

Just got back from my first trip to Efteling and I don't quite know what to think in all honesty. Having had the place built up to be a magical paradise, which to be fair, the majority was very nice, I was shocked with the state of the park in some places. Peeling paint in most ride queues and...

It's definitely odd, but at least they are being transparent now.

Just got back from my first visit and after reading this thread was slightly concerned about it, but happy to report quite a few of the irregularities have gone. First of all, everyone now has the option to pay online by credit card and in fact this is now the encouraged payment method...

Slightly random question, but does Europa Park offer a photo pass like Disney at all and have they ever had photographers around the park?

Visited for the first time earlier this month and was slightly disappointed that the indoor, main part of the themed queue was closed off. I get this when the ride has a short wait, but the queue was 25-30 mins on all the days we were there meaning that there was some outside queueing and it was...

A very small thing, but I wish they had signs on the train station platforms like they do for the EP Express telling you how long until the next train. You have no idea if you have just missed one or if it is just around the corner. I also wish they wouldn't just sit at the stations as long...

It has been a while since the 7th hotel has been mentioned. Have they given any indication of when this might come or is it likely to be a good few years before we hear anything? It seems like they have a very high occupancy rate for the current hotels, so it would seem silly to hold back on...

Even hex got high-vis jackets and hard hats after its refurbishment so I'd imagine that there will be something. Even if only for the first few months

Now I know that this may seem like a slightly odd title for a thread and a little bit of a pedantic one, but I am interested on people's thoughts. After returning from DLP in October and then Europa Park just last week, it has struck me just how much-themed staff costumes add to the thematic...
