Dubai's Atlantis Aquaventure waterpark has a major expansion on the cards, with plans to open a dozen new rides in the middle of 2020.

An addition to adding to the 20 rides and rivers already spread across its 170,000sq m (1.8 million sq ft) at Palm Island, the 34-metre (111.5ft) tall Trident Tower will feature a number of rides supplied by ProSlide, including MammothBlast, a 449-metre (1,473ft) family adventure water coaster that uses water propulsion technology; the Dueling PipelineBlast/FlyingSaucer 20 hybrid ride, which propels guests through "gravity-defying" turns at high speed; and RallyRacer 32, a ride for competitive visitors.

Atlantis's new 43-storey Royal Atlantis Resort & Residences is set to open beside the waterpark in Q3 2020, with 231 luxury apartments, 795 luxury hotel rooms, and more than 90 swimming pools including a rooftop Skypool.

Orlando's newest Waterpark opened this week, Island H2O Live!. It is located just south of Walt Disney World and is part of the $750 million dollar Margaritaville Orlando entertainment district. The park uses a wristband technology along with an phone app to bring a more interactive experience to the park. (We explain how this works in the video.) They have a great selection of rides, is nicely themed and is priced below all the other waterparks in the region. It also has a lot of land for expansion next too it.

SeaWorld Orlando just release their new teaser trailer for their 2020 coaster. Rumors are that this will be a Premier multi launch coaster with a vertical spike, a top hat element and will have an arctic themed. Mango Joes restaurant will be rethemed as well and it will tie in with the Wild Arctic ride and animal habitats. It appears the ride will have a Peregrine falcon name/theme, which is the fast bird in the world and breeds in the arctic as well.

Here is the placement for the Mario Kart ride in Universal Studios Hollywood. The building will be two stories, with the entire ride on the lower level & queue on upper. Half of track layout can already kinda be seen. No word yet on rest of land.

Legoland Windsor Resort have today been granted planning permission for their Long Term Development Plan, paving the way for eight projects at the Resort.

The approved plans will see a total of eight projects undertaken at the Resort. One of these, the Haunted House, has already been completed with the attraction having gained permission via a separate planning application submitted in March 2018. The remaining seven projects include plans for three ‘attraction zones’ which will feature a new indoor attraction – referred to in some documents as a potential rollercoaster, and two fairground style rides. With Legoland Resort Florida recently opening Lego Movie World, could these ‘attractions zones’ indicate where Windsor’s LEGO Movie World will be located?

‘The Beginning’ area of the Resort will receive a major refresh under the plans, including a 10m high, LEGOLAND Windsor entrance portal, and an extension to the ticket sales and collections building and the guest toilets. The Big Shop will also receive an expansion. The largest development will include both lodge accommodation and ‘Lego Barrels’, similar to those seen in Legoland Deutschland, with a building housing a reception area, restaurant, shop, and entertainment facilities for the new accommodation. A number of infrastructure projects also feature, with a reconfiguration of the car parks, and a change of use for the St Leonards Farm to be used for back of house facilities.
