Just recently I was struck by a photo I took in a theme park in southern China a mere 7 years ago. The other day I looked at it again and thought to myself ’hey that is so nice, people look so relaxed and happy here; they savor the moment (...)

Another new Fantawild going up. This time in Changsha, Hunan, China.

Everything points to a coaster like the one of "How to train your dragon" in Motiongate Dubai.

Project 942?

Gringotts coaster was Project 722, which was the Intamin-number of the Ride. So this makes it very sure that Project 942 is also an intamin ride, but not the same style als Gringotts. Anyone heard about a 9** number for a Intamin coaster yet? This could say us what kind of coaster is planned there.

New patents filed by Universal Orlando for the changes around the removal of Dragon Challenge.

The permits for Universal's project dubbed "U O 942" show the theme park is seeking to work on a 7.44-acre site in the heart of its Islands of Adventure theme park. The documents say the work is for "renovating an existing area within the overall IOA site. Includes revisions to existing ponds and storm structures."

Most notably, the permit shows a map of the work area that includes nearly a quarter of the entire Islands of Adventure footprint, from the northwest corner that occupies the Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Hogsmeade and east into parts of the Lost Continent and south into the backstage parts of Jurassic Park.

That map confirms the rumors that Universal's Project 942 — which filed for a series of demolition permits with the city of Orlando in late July— is, in fact, the new "highly-themed coaster" attraction replacing the Dragon Challenge coaster at Islands of Adventure that the theme park announced last month.

New Vekoma Firestorm going up at World Fairytale Land on the massive Hainan Flower Island project (Think Dubai Palms but in the shape of a lotus flower)

Note: The green is just protective wrapping not the actual paint.

Indeed. The park is has a Chinese built spinner and is apparently due to get a B&M wing coaster of the same design seen at Hotgo Dreamland although no evidence of that ride being built as of yet.

The location is here
