ADVENTURE COAST SOUTHPORT (UK)
Formerly: Southport Pleasureland
Park News - (2/9/2025) It has been reported that Southport Pleasureland will be rebranding itself as Adventure Coast Southport as they prepare to reopen for the 2025 season. Still no word on if they will finally add that delayed new roller coaster for the 2025 season or not.
???? - New Coaster - Delayed - (1/26/2025) The new coaster was delayed from a proposed 2024 opening, and is now said to be under construction for 2025. The exact make of the coaster is not known, but it is belived that it is likely going to be a Gerstlauer creation now.
(2/3/2024) A new roller coastrer is expected this year, but no solid information has come forth yet. Previously a Zamperla made Lighting style coaster, similar to Thunderbolt at Luna Park was expected, but this is said to no longer be the case.

BETO CARRERO WORLD (Brazil)
 2026 - Galinha Pintadinha Land - (2/1/2026) A new themed land based on a Brazilian children’s YouTube series is expected to open later this year. Rumors say this land may also include a kiddie coaster.
2027/2028 - SpongeBob Coaster - (2/1/2026) Beto Carrero World has been developing a new SpongeBob themed area for the pat few years, and and is apparently now looking to add a major roller coaster to that land that is thought to have a budget in the range of $20 million USD. This is no small sum when it comes to a budget for a roller coaster, so there is no telling just what may be on the horizon.
Anyone know more? Previously the park was said to have been in talks with B&M about building something custom for the park. Makes me wonder if something like a launched Wing Coaster like Chessington in the UK got with the Jumanji themed Mandrill Mayhem or perhaps like the one smaller scale Maximus coaster that Legoland Germany built in 2023.
(4/15/2023) I’m hearing that the park believes they will likely have to retire their Star Mountain (Vekoma Corkscrew) roller coaster sometime in the next 5 years or so, and may have started to look into modern replacement options. One rumor suggests they may have been talking with B&M about Wing Coaster or Dive Machine concepts.

CHENGDU SUNAC LAND (China)
 Park News - (3/11/2026) According to this tweet, the former Sunac Land theme park in Chengdu, China will reopen for the 2026 season on April 1st under an all new name, “Dreaming Back to Qingcheng - Performing Arts Town”.
According to the tweet, the park’s former “All Speeds” Intamin launched coaster that offered a similar experience to Taron at Germany’s Phantasialand, will not be reopening with the park however, following the closure of the coaster in October 2025.
CHIMELONG PARADISE (Guangzhou, China)
2026 - Dive Coaster - (3/21/2026) While the park’s oroginal Dive Coaster is said to have closed and been removed, the park is now rumored to be building a replacement copy of it to open in 2026.
(9/22/2025) A new video from Coaster Studios claims that Dive Coaster at Chimelong Paradiser (a B&M, with a layout inspired by Sheikra) is rumored to be closing for good at the end of the year. The reasons are a little odd... as China’s amusement park laws give each coaster an end of life service date for both the trains and the track. The other odd reason is that the local government is thought to be wanting to take away some of the theme park’s land to build new high-rise apartment buildings. So if this all holds true, Dive Coaster will be closing soon.

Park News - (3/10/2024) An incredible story about the creation of the Chimelong Spaceship attraction has been posted to Blooloop this week, documenting some of the history of how the attraction came to be as told by the Bezark Company who was brought on-board to help flesh-out and create a lot of the custom theming you see as you journey from one section to another within the attraction. Even more impressive, this all started pre-COVID and still managed to find a way to finish it all on the other side, despite a two-year gap in being able to send their crew on site.

The details are mostly being kept under wraps, but the first to open will be called Pirates’ Plummet and a second unknown attraction was also confirmed to be coming that will be “the first inverting ride in the South West”.

DREAMLAND (Margate, UK)
Park News - (2/4/2026) If you are looking to show support for saving the Scenic Railway at Dreamland Margate, an official petition to protect the coaster has now been posted at Change.org.
(1/29/2026) A press release from the Dreamland Heritage Trust about the closure of the Scenic Railway mentions a rather interesting fact. The group reconfirmed that the Trust was established following a “Save Dreamland Campaign” which secured major capital funding “for the full restoration, continued repair, and operation of the Scenic Railway”, and “was explicitly intended to support the Scenic Railway’s ongoing operation for a period lasting until 2037.”
Clearly there are some issues to be addressed by the current management of Dreamland, Sands Heritage & Live Nation, because operations ceased in 2024, 13 years short of what was already funded.
(1/28/2026) Terrible news from Dreamland Margate this week as the park has announced that their famous Scenic Railway coaster “has completed its journey as a roller coaster and will now take well-earned retirement from operation as a ride.”
As a “Grade II listed structure” the park can’t take it down, even if they close it, so they are looking for ideas as to how they can “reimagine its purpose so it can continue to be enjoyed by future generations in a fresh and meaningful way.”
Of course, this isn’t really too different from how Magic Springs announced last year that they had retired their Arkansas Twister wooden roller coaster, but rather than take it down, they said they were going to leave it standing… just that it would never operate again. Why? Nothing like the good visual of a big roller coaster to lure people into your park thinking they are going to ride it… plus it costs a lot of money to tear something that massive down. In the case of Dreamland, they’re going to use that Class II Listed status as the reason it will stay standing, as it was deemed as a being a structure of historical interest, but at the same time, this is a wooden coaster we are talking about and those can be fixed up, rebuilt and run endlessly if you’re willing to invest in maintaining it. So it’s very sad that Dreamland Margate are giving up on it.
Previously they had restored and ran the Scenic Railway from 2015 to 2024, and things only came to a stop when a train’s brake pad causing some serious damage to a section of the track in August 2024. Everyone was removed with injury, and at the time the park said the ride would be closed while they investigated what happened and made repairs. Sadly, it seems that intents to repair and reopen were not followed through.
DREAM ISLAND (Moscow, Russia)
2026 - Nothing is known at this time, nothing known to be added since at least 2021
???? - Outdoor Expansion - (10/13/2024) According to an update at ThemeparX, Dream Island, the indoor theme park in Moscow, Russia, has announced a large outdoor expansion that will add a Vertical Launch Coaster from Intamin with four inversions and a beyond vertical first drop, that will become the longest coaster in the country. Also planned is an Intamin Hot Racer single-rail coaster that is expected to be a clone of Mahuka at Walibi Rhone Alpes, an observation tower, a rapids ride with a vertical lift up the inside of a lighthouse tower, Zierer Star Shape flat ride, and more. According to the press release the expansion will feature more than 20 new attractions when finished.
Follow the link and have a look at all the amazing concept art and it all looks so fantastic… but… and you knew there was a “but” coming… there is a question about when all this will open, especially given how long it took for Dream Island itself to open, and then a couple of more years until all the attractions promoted were completed and open to the public. The press release itself translated and posted on ThemeparX doesn’t seem to offer a date, though a post by the park on the Russian social media service, VK, does mention it will open in Summer 2025.
Given that it’s now mid October 2024, and I don’t believe they’re really started anything as winter is quickly approaching, I’d be more likely to believe that construction may not even start until spring 2025, so don’t be surprised if this takes until 2026 or 2027 to open.
DRIEVLIET (The Netherlands)
2026 - Nothing is known at this time, nothing known to be added since 2012
DUINRELL (The Netherlands)
2026 - Kikkerachtbaan 2.0 - (11/15/2025) Duinrell park in the Netherlands has officially retired the park’s frog-themed Kikkerachtbaan family coaster from Zierer. The family coaster opened back in 1985 and closed for good at the end of Nov. 9th, 2025.
The good news is that there is a new replacement coaster on the way from Zierer to open in 2026 to be built on the same site. With this in mind I wouldn’t be surprised if they choose to recreate some of the former ride’s more popular layout sections as part of this new creation. According to the park, they are calling the new ride the “Kikkerachtbaan 2.0” and will post new details and sneak peeks very soon.

FANTASILANDIA (Santiago, Chile)
2026/2027/2028 - Park Moving To New Location - (12/14/2025) I had not heard this before, but the current Fantasilandia theme park in Santiago, Chile is planning on moving to a new home sometime between late 2026 and 2027. The current park site, while located within a lush green park space with some other recreational attractions (tennis courts, concert arenas) the entire area is land-locked within a very densely populated urban area that limits future growth opportunities.
The park has posted a video clip on TikTok showing off the future park site with some general plans on the major attractions that they want to be part of the new park, which includes moving a number of the park’s existing rides.
If anyone knows more details about this plan, please do let me know.

This will be the small indoor/outdoor park’s first roller coaster.
HOSSOLAND (Poland)
???? - New Park - (9/2/2024) Construction on Hossoland in Poland is still ongoing, though the latest updates from the park now state that the park plans to be ready to open in Summer 2025, though we still know very little about what the park’s attraction lineup will be. A few articles mention that one of the big attractions will be a steel roller coaster called Ghost Rider that will hit a top speed of 72 mph. Construction appears to have began in 2022 with the hopes of having it ready for 2024, but has since been pushed back to June 2025.
The most recient construction photos I’ve been able to find have been collected over at ThemeparX, where they do appear to have made some great progress on the themed buildings and structures around the park, though what is very strange is the fact that there are no signs of rides at all going up. Typically the rides will be installed first and the buildings and themed pathways go up around them as construction goes on. With many buildings on-site appearing to be finished, from an exterior thematic point of view, I’m really wondering just what exactly this park will have to offer in terms of actual attractions when it does open next year.
(9/10/22) A brand new theme park is apparently coming to Poland that will be called Hossoland. The new park will be built over a 40 hectares site and divided into 4 different themed zones, featuring about 50 attractions, including expected roller coasters from Mack Rides and Vekoma. Lookfor Hossoland to open as early as Spring 2024.

ISLA MAGICA (Spain)
2026 - New Wooden Rollercoaster - (10/27/2024) It has been years since we’ve heard about Isla Magica in Spain adding anything new to their theme park, but according to news posted by The Olive Press, a new wooden roller coaster is planned to be added to the park for the 2026 season. The neat thing is that almost the entire 25 meter tall and 596 meter long coaster will be built over the water. The maker of the coaster is not mentioned, though the article does say that the trains will only hold 16 passengers. According to an update on RCDB, they believe this will be a GCI coaster made with their new steel Titan Track system.
Also planned is an expansion to the Aqua Magica water park section of the park that will add in two large new swimming / attraction areas.

The goal is to open the new theme park by 2028 and attract around 2 million guests a year.

Unlike Mandoria, Le Parc du Petit Prince (themed to The Little Prince) is a 24-hectare outdoor attraction that just opened in 2014.
It was also confirmed that the Ptak Group will now further invest in their new property with the addition of a new flagship roller coaster along with many upgrades to the park’s infrastructure. It is assumed that the new coaster will be for the 2026 season, but the final timeline remains to be seen until the park is ready to make an announcement.

LIGHTWATER VALLEY (UK)
Brighton Pier Group
Park News - (1/10/2026) As rumored on Screamscape in early December, it has now been confirmed that the Lightwater Valley theme park has been purchased by the Mellors Group. According to this report the new owners have plans to invest in the park, adding new rides and attractions, with the first to open later this year. The future focus of the park will be to transform it into a theme park appealing to those of all ages, and not just families with very young children.
According to James Mellors, “We’re incredibly proud to be taking on its future. Our goal is simple: to put the park back ‘on the map’ as a major theme park, by introducing new rides, injecting new energy, and creating something truly special for families for many years to come.”
I can’t wait to hear more about what they have planned!
(12/6/2025) This is not a confirmed report, but Screamscape has been sent a rumor that the Mellors Group (owners of Fantasy Island in the UK) may be in the process of purchasing Lightwater Valley. This could be a very good thing for Lightwater Valley as the current owners who put the park up for sale last month seemed to have no interesting in running the 182-acre site as a theme park.
Again… this is just a rumor right now, so stay tuned! Hopefully we’ll know more as we approach the end of the year.
(11/1/2025) According to the BBC, the Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park in the UK has put itself up for sale, and is asking for at least £3 million. The purchase would include the park and 182-acre site which has 72 years remaining on the current 99-year lease, along with planning permission to build a lodge and glamping area.
Of course, this comes a bit too late for anyone to save The Ultimate, once billed as the world’s longest roller coaster before the current owners of Lightwater Valley found they had no interest in keeping it, closed it in 2019 and then had it removed two years ago. Despite this, the park is still home to a good number of rides and attractions, though mostly focused on things for smaller children.
This can hopefully be a good thing for the park, as the current owners have appeared to basically have had no interest in the park, and from my talley, they haven’t added anything of significance to the park since 2018. Of course, if the park is purchased by someone else with zero intention to elevate the park, this could result in the end of it entirely.

NICKELODEON UNIVERSE @ Mall of China (China)
???? - New Park - DELAYED - (1/26/2025) While we don’t know the status of the park project itself, or if it will still have a Nickelodeon theme, apparently the entire project was put on a lengthy delayed due to COVID, and then financial issues in China also played a large part in delaying the restart of construction. However, there was a video posted in late 2023 showing work crews installing glass panels along the gigantic roof of the structure, shot from a dronecam. Looking down, you can see the inside was still mostly unfinished, but there were what looked like coaster footers already poured inside at that time, which was about 14 months ago. Hopefully things have continued to progress since then, but I’ve been unable to really find any kind of solid update on the project since then.
(10/20/20) Another Nickelodeon Universe theme park is now under construction, this time in China, where it will be built inside the Mall of China in Chongqing. I think I missed the first announcement about this project, where BlooLoop in 2018 said it was aiming for a Dec. 2020 but that clearly isn’t happening.
While I don’t know what the official opening date is now, according to a post on Twitter, brand new and very colorful roller coaster track has now arrived on site for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle themed roller coaster is that supposed to feature 8 inversions, be 1052m in length, 43.5m in height and hit 100 km/h.
I’m not sure of the manufacturer, but the track does look similar in nature of some of Intamin’s trackwork. Anyone know more about this creation?

PARAMOUNT PARK CHINA (Kunming)
New Park Plans - (1/26/2025) While I don’t believe work has really begun on this proposed Paramount branded park in China, apparently the concept art and plans for the park continue to change and evolve. Some new images showing off the lastest concept were found in August 2024 and posted to ThemeparX. Amonst the noted changed was that a Nickelodeon themed kids land was spotted in the artwork, along with changed to the Star Trek themed “Final Frontier” land that increased the size and style of what was previously a drop tower ride into something more SciFi looking that instead may be more of an observation tower style ride that does remind me of the SkySpire concept from Bill Kitchen being offered by Martin & Vleminckx (MV Rides). It was also noted that the previous ‘Warp Drive” outdoor coaster had been replaced with a large indoor attraction building instead, but no way to know if they are opting for a more indoor dark coaster experience (ala: Space Mountain) or some kind of walk-through, simulator or dark ride concept.
(5/30/20) Would you believe that yet another Paramount Studios themed park project has been announced? So far, none of them have ever been built after being announced at various locations over the globe, and now ThemeparX has posted some concept art for a new fifth Paramount Park themed concept, this one planned for Kunming, China. According to the post, the plan is to begin construction in 2021 and open by June 2024.
The concept art sure is pretty though, with six themed lands:
Paramount Boulevard - This serves as the entrance zone for the new park with stores and restaurants.
Adventure City - A Hollywood themed looking zone with a Tower Records looking building at the center and home to thrill rides themed to MIssion: Impossible and The Italian Job.
Peanuts Township - A kids land themed around the Peanuts gang characters.
Lost Kingdom - A beautiful looking landscape of jungle ruins, home to a “Montagua River” ride a coaster called ‘Escape from Emerald Mountain”.
Dinosaur Empire - Themed around the Dinotopia book series where humans live with intelligent dinosaurs. The concept art shows off a large flume ride that gives off some Mack Rides inspired vibes, not unlike SeaWorld’s Journey To Atlantis.
Final Frontier - A land themed around the world of Star Trek that is sure to thrill.

(8/3/2025) Naruto fans will be excited to see the highly detailed lead car constructed by Zamperla for the new Kyubi Unchained family launched coaster coming to Parc Spirou along with a new themed Nebulaz ride for the park’s new Naruto themed land in 2026.
(5/13/2025) A new update on Blooloop confirms that France’s Parc Spirou has begun construction on their new Naruto-themed area that will open in 2026 along with a new themed roller coaster experience from Zamperla. Artwork showing off the layout of the new coaster (described as a launched family coaster with a vertical rollback) can also be found at RCDB.
(11/20/2024) Parc Spirou in France is adding a unique Naruto themed Family Thrill Coaster to the park in 2026 from Zamperla. The design will feature tire propelled launch and booster zones as well as switch-tracks to allow for a fun 103 foot vertical rollback spike, along with a low to the ground twisted layout designed to enhance the sensation of speed. The coaster will be part of a whole new Naruto themed section of the park when it opens.

SLAGHAREN (Netherlands)
2026 - Sky Sifter - (2/13/2026) Slagharen will be adding a new attraction this summer called Sky Sifter that will feature a wild-west theme. The attraction itself will be a Zamperla Revolution 30 pendulum style ride, but it will be run in two different modes, along with the attraction featuring two separate queues for each version.
There will be the “Gold” version of the attraction that will feature the more signature style intense ride experience, complete with full inversions during the ride cycle. The alternate “Silver” mode will feature a slower and more calm swing like motion experience, and will not invert at all.
(11/15/2025) According to a video post from CoasterChall, Slagharen is planning on adding a Western themed Zamperla Discovery Revolution pendulum ride for the 2026 season. According to the post, the park is getting an interesting version that is able to switch back and forth to run in a more family friendly mode and then in a “daredevil” mode for the thrill seekers. Guests will choose to select the style ride they want in the queue (probably a split point to choose which option you want) where the family mode will just swing, while the daredevil mode will flip the entire pendulum upside down during the ride program. The ride is expected to replace the “Eagle” ride at the park, a Huss Condor tower ride.
The official announcement had not been made yet by the park or Zamperla, but if I had to guess, we will likely get some kind of official announcement during the IAAPA Expo in Orlando happening this coming week.
???? - Family Inverted Coaster - Planning - (3/21/22) According to a post from Loopings.NL, Slagharen is looking into adding a new family style Inverted coaster, which means no inversions. The interesting thing is that apparently the park has received three very different proposals from Vekoma, Premier Rides and Gerstlauer for the project and they’ve posted some video footage of each to see which concept the public likes the best.
Each company has brought a little something new to the table with their designs. The Vekoma design, for the most part, is a typical example of Vekoma’s design work for this style ride, which makes sense as Vekoma would be the dominate supplier in the world who has built over two dozen similar style rides around the world over the past two decades.Really the only unique item I noticed here is that it would use some kind of launch technology to dispatch the train out of the station into the first half of the ride, and then use a traditional lift hill for the second half.
The Premier Rides version is a bit of a surprise because the company has really never made an inverted coaster before. The closest to my knowledge that they have come was when Six Flags hired them to design new inverted trains for the Goliath coaster at Six Flags New England a few years ago, which ironically was just demolished a few weeks ago. The Premier design does seem to share some elements in common with Vekoma’s Family Boomerang coasters with the use of two small lift and drop tracks at each end of the ride. The semi-compact L-shaped design opts weave the tracks around each other to provide some fun visuals.
Lastly the Gerstlauer design actually features a vertical lift hill design and a much more extreme layout, with several near-inverting elements as well as underground tunnels. The vertical lift on an inverted car would be an interesting experience, as the only similar element I can think of was on Vekoma’s infamous “Deja Vu” coasters. The layout does look fun, but may provide more thrills than Slagharen was looking to offer, which is probably a big reason as to why they are offering views of the design options to the public.

YAS WATERWORLD (Abu Dhabi, UAE) http://www.yaswaterworld.com/
2026 - Lost City Expansion - (3/29/2026) Blooloop reports that Yas Waterworld is now set to open the park’s latest expansion to the new “Lost City” area on April 4th. This expansion will add an additional eight water slides, two jumping platforms and a new lounge pool area to the park, bringing the total number of experiences available in the park up to more than 70.
As I recall, while the park was building the massive Lost City expansion, a section of it suffered from a fire breaking out shortly before it was to open. So if i had to guess, this is likely the rebuilt section that had to be rebuilt from the fire.
