Southport Pleasureland

I was looking on RCDB and I see that they have got a listing for an unknown under construction coaster opening up at Southport in 2025, but the interesting thing is it states "An artist drawing suggests this will be a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter or Infinity Coaster".

unknown - Southport Pleasureland (Southport, Merseyside, England, United Kingdom)

Looking for statistics on the fastest, tallest or longest roller coasters? Find it all and much more with the interactive Roller Coaster Database.
rcdb.com

Has something moved along with this without it being mentioned here with regards to the model and opening or are RCDB taking a bit of a wild guess here or just putting two and two together and making five? Are there any signs of work beginning to take place that could indicate a 2025 opening?

Edit - Just seen that this was already discussed in this thread back in March when Norman Wallis shared the concept art of a Gerstlauer coaster, I must have missed that.

The park hasn't had a decent functioning coaster in years, lots (and lots) of promises, but zero in actual physical appearance.
The man running the place is a showman, and it shows.
Nothing but bullshit and bluster I'm afraid, and after this summer, I can't see him having the funds either.
More chance of Knightmare turning up.
 
On one hand I understand this but it's a desperately sad time for Southport. Given the horrific events last year I think the government could cough up some cash to support the town which was already suffering a significant decline.

The best was of getting people to visit Adventure Coast' will be new ride offering but as always the reality doesn't always support this

I think it's probably best they rebrand the place and give it a clean break from the former Pleasureland.

With the issues they've had on the pier up the road too even before what happened this summer, it seems like tourism there needs a helping hand, maybe a 'new' park will help a little bit, I agree too it would be nice if central/regional government could throw a bit of money that way too
 
What’s happened with that coaster they were supposedly building?

I seem to remember it being initially announced as a Zamperla a few years back and then becoming a Gerstlauer, but it all seems to have gone a bit quiet now…
 
The last two larger coasters didn't seem to operate very often.
Didn't manage to get on either of them despite a few half hearted attempts.
