SeaWorld Orlando announces new coaster for 2020, Ice Breaker. This quadruple launch coaster will have a 100 degree spike and a top hat. This video also looks at the current construction of the ride.

Chessington World of Adventures Resort have submitted plans to install a new Egyptian themed drop tower ride to replace Rameses Revenge, along with the relocation of Flying Jumbos.

Proposed to be located in the Forbidden Kingdom area of the theme park, the new drop tower will be a direct replacement for Rameses Revenge. Standing at an overall height of 25.6m, the base of the tower will be set in the existing hollow alongside the ride’s operator cabin and plant and mechanical rooms. Guests will be carried to the top of the ride on board a 16 seat gondola, before released to ‘free-fall’ down the tower. Although it is not stated within the application who the manufacturer of the ride is, plans do confirm that there are no comparable attractions at Merlin parks in the UK, ruling out the possibility that it could be a transfer of an existing attraction.

Elysium Waterpark is planned to be the largest water-park in the UK, costing £75m and estimating 1 million visitors per year.

Not just a waterpark, Elysium will be the most extraordinary, luxurious and largest indoor waterpark in the United Kingdom. Standing alongside other stunning world-class venues across the world, Elysium will look to deliver the ultimate water park paradise and more.

Featuring a top quality wellness and beauty spa that offers a multitude of facilities including a sauna, hammam spas, massage and beauty treatments, exercise/ dance options; we hope Elysium will be a place of tranquility, peace and freedom.

The Elysium Water Park is expected to open in 2023, but we've already had a sneak peek thanks to a series of artists' impressions the project's team have released.

There's plenty of space too, as the water park boasts 75 acres of space, with a handy location near Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

The place is the area of ​​Chauffaille, in Coussac-Bonneval, near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, which he fell in love, reports Center-Presse . He visited sixty sites before setting his sights on this landscaped park of 141 hectares, its castle, outbuildings and neo-Gothic chapel.

Located on the back half of the construction site is a single power ring (so far) that the coaster track passes through. These power rings are located throughout the ride, and this particular one is located in the first half of the interior portion of the ride. As you can see, the power ring has been mounted to the frame of the supporting steel structure. This is just the first of many to be installed in the coming weeks and months.
