Chessington World of Adventures, UK is having a new drop ride built for the 2021 summer season.

Rising from the newly poured concrete foundation is the steel structure that will surround the drop tower. On the side, a breeze block wall is being formed to enclose the building, with the queue line entrance now visible at the front. Inside the new building, sectioned off rooms have been created which we assume will house the ride computers and operator’s console.

The Belgian coast park Plopsaland De Panne aims to build a new thrilling roller coaster. Plopsaland will invest 15 million euros for this purpose.

This is an impressive Xtreme Spinning Coaster , developed by the German specialist company Mack Rides . The boss of the Plopsa group , Steve Van den Kerkhof , was seen in the summer of 2019 in Silver Dollar City in the United States, where Time Traveler , the first and only example of the Xtreme Spinning Coaster, was built . The project was finally officially announced by Steve Van den Kerkhof on September 24th.

It will be installed between the Piet Pirate area and the Plop Garden . The 920-meter-long course with a maximum height of 33 meters will include, among other things, two magnetic catapults as well as five reversal figures, including a loop and a banana roll. The expected train speed is 90 km / h. The advertised capacity is between 600 and 700 people per hour.

A Puy Du Fou Park is planned for China opening in 2022.

After its successful launch in Spain, Puy du Fou is turning to China, whose historical and cultural wealth offers, for its shows, an immense source of inspiration. The Puy du Fou hopes to inaugurate its first Chinese spectacle in 2022, at the foot of the Great Wall , the country's most emblematic monument, known worldwide.

It is in Qinhuangdao, opposite the Great Wall , that the Puy du Fou has chosen a particularly spectacular site, imbued with poetry and mystery. The city government has already given its agreement to the creation of a great night show signed by the Puy du Fou on the model of Cinéscénie (France) or El Sueño de Toledo (Spain). The first phase of this project also includes a themed hotel, a large restaurant-show and a period village.

On the occasion of the President of the Republic's trip to China, the Puy du Fou signs a contract to create this great show at the foot of the Chinese Wall . The total budget for this project is 230 million euros.
