Liseberg in Sweden has announced details of its new water park and hotel

The Scandinavian park Liseberg has unveiled the details of its project of indoor water park and hotel, scheduled for 2021-2023. This is the most important project in the history of Gothenburg amusement park in Sweden. Built on a plot of 50,000 m² acquired in 2013, the investment is 1.9 billion kroner (approximately 194 million euros).

Developed by the US-based Beaver Dam in Wisconsin, Water Technology Inc. and scheduled to be open year-round, the 28,000-seat water park will be the largest from Sweden. It will be equipped with 8 swimming pools, 10 slides, 2 playgrounds and a restaurant for 400 people. The park will have a historical theme based on the famous Swedish East India Company , which operated on the seas in the 18th century.

Alton Towers in the UK is expanding to include a new Dungeons Attraction.

These latest details follow on from the announcement of the pricing for tickets to The Alton Towers Dungeon. Tickets purchased in advance will cost £5, whilst tickets purchased on the day will cost £7.50. Guests holding a Premium Alton Towers Season Pass will get one entry to the Dungeon per visit. In a move which has angered some guests, it has been confirmed via the Resort’s social media channels that Premium Merlin Annual Pass holders will not get The Alton Towers Dungeon included and will have to purchase a ticket.

Details unveiled by Birmingham Mail reveal just some of what awaits guests in the Resort’s newest addition which the Resort describe as being ‘hilariously hideous’. As has been widely rumoured, The Alton Towers Dungeon will incorporate a ‘hideously scary boat ride’, which will see it use the ride system previously used as part of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Toyland Tours, and Around the World in 80 Days.

Also included will be five actor-actor led shows, including a visit to a plague doctor, a session with the torturer, and at least two shows based on local legends including being sentenced by the Bishop of Stafford, and a stop at the Witch of Burslem’s haunted cottage. The full experience will take 45 minutes, and will combine interactive shows, and cutting edge theming and technology.

Interesting plan for Zhengzhou Haichang Ocean Park in China showing some coasters. Oddly one ride appears to be a modified Batman: The Ride. Although how final this plan is is not currently known.
