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.

In 2014 and 2015 we brought you this crazy idea of Didier Hodiamont to create an amusement park around music in Belgium or France.

4 years later, it is finally on the field of Chauffaille in France, in Coussac-Bonneval (Haute-Vienne), that the project could well materialize. The man who created it, Didier Hodiamont even announces that Melofolia will open its doors to visitors on June 18, 2021.

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.

The first visitor is expected on June 18, 2021. Park design work should begin in early 2020, once the state services have done their work.
