I was thinking of waiting until the new coaster opens next year to make my next visit. But with a free day ticket with my BPB pass I may take a trip over later in the year anyway.
 
Urgh that new Yullbe location is really crap, really hope it doesn't last long. I suspect they are hoping that by having it there, where everyone who rides Blue Fire will see it, more people will be encouraged to give it a go.

The return of single rider queues however is fantastic news!
 
No Arthur virtual queue? That makes me sad.

The queue line gets super hot in summer.

Pointless on Voletarium, it’s walk on in the afternoons. I wonder if this is the start of paving the way for paid virtual line :(
 
I guess with Arthur there is just no room to have a virtual queue and a single rider queue. And single rider queue on Arthur was always one of the most useful on park! So I am very pleased they have gone with that.

SRQ is better on that. Virtual Line is pot luck.

I count at least six new shows this year; in the Italian arena is a new magic show and on the outdoor stage a new cinema-themed production show, the Globe this year goes with a book theme, a new Spanish themed puppet show by the artists who were in Ireland, a new ice show seemingly themed to the cosmos and a new version of the flamenco show.

Good to see such a wide refresh after there wasn’t as much turnover in the last couple of years. That’s on top of the new Croatia film in the Dream Dome and the new film for the enchanted forest library.

It is simply replacing the Timed Tickets system that has existed since the ride opened. No different or signalling any changes really as to it being free.

As for the new YULLBE GO location its definitely temporary; allegedly it will finally find a permanent, purpose built, home in the Croatian area next year.
 
I wonder how the rides with single rider and virtual queue will work, will they share the same queue? Or will the rides have some changes over winter to fit both queues.
 
Keeping Piraten In Batavia on Virtual Line seems a bit pointless considering it merges at the entrance to the building, and rarely gets a long wait anyway. Even when it first opened we never waited for more than 30 mins for it and it’s only about 10 mins from the front door.

Good to see it finally on Poseidon. Was always one of those that on a hot summer’s day was a write off queue times wise unless riding it at the very start of the day. Although I suspect you’ll be lucky to actually nab a ticket.

In what can only be excellent news, the ALL THE NEW video is back! They are playing now during the press conference. Hopefully there will be an English version at some point.

And here is said ALL NEW video in English :)

Typically over the top as always, loving the $75k robot being used in the ice show 😂. Interesting the Talent Academy is moving from Bell Rock where it shared the building that the fitness club is in. It's now moving to the former ZIPSE store next to Lidl which was previously used as the EPSports store for a while. Seems like a lot of work is going into renovating it too!
 
@Cheese and I miss the deep voiced narrator, he was always a highlight of the English dubbed Novelties :cry: But I'm still cracking up at us being shafted for Liechtenstein for the relocated balloon ride.
