Ever since it began to look more clearly that the Super Nintendo World land in Orlando would be saved for a new third full size theme park in development, the rumors began about how the existing KidZone may instead be converted into a Pokemon themed area instead. This along with rumors of a possible Zelda themed land concept that could appear in Islands of Adventure, it looked like Universal Orlando was ready to sprinkle a little Nintendo magic across their entire resort property.
Not so fast though… time to slow down a bit, as just as I had been hearing whispers that Universal Orlando had no intention to open lands or properties themed to other Nintendo IP’s before they can build Super Nintendo World first, a new update from Theme Park University also backs up these same reports, claiming that plans to build Pokemon and Zelda themed lands are being put on hold… for now at least. The corporate bosses have wisely decided to sit on these projects for a bit until they can determine just how well the Nintendo IPs perform in a theme park environment first.
I imagine that they’ll revisit these projects once again when the first Super Nintendo World opens in Japan in 2020. The good news is that with the Nintendo projects on the shelf for the time being, we should see some entirely new and unique plans begin to form at the parks instead as Universal is committed to adding new attractions for guests to enjoy each year.

A few new construction pictures showing off the progress being made on Tigris can be found at TouringCentralFlorida this week as more track and support pieces are being installed.
According to the latest update posted to TouringCentralFlorida workers have begun cutting apart a section of Gwazi behind the Lion side lift hill this week. A crane is on site and is said to be lifting out the sections of the support structure that are being cut away. Given the twisted interwoven structure of Gwazi, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are cutting away sections to create an access path for a crane and other heavy machinery to get in closer to the center of the structure, allowing for easier access to begin the conversion of Gwazi into a new RMC hybrid coaster creation.

Heide Park has announced a new updated name for Colossos when it reopens in 2019 as “Colossos Kampf Der Giganten”. The new logo shown looks very similar to the one Merlin put out to promote Wicker Man coaster at Alton Towers, and if you follow this link and scrool down a bit, you’ll see that they have built a giant creepy tree-monster looking creature structure that the coaster will travel through at one point. Given that Wicker Man uses a lot of smoke and fire effects, it makes me wonder if Colossos will also do the same.

We know a tiny bit more about the story being told on the new Sesame Street themed dark ride coming to PortAventura thanks to a tweet. The promotional tweet shows off a graphic for the new ride and a description in English that mentions “Detective Grover in going on a secret mission. To carry it out, he will need help from some brave families that are willing to embark on a million and one adventures as they travel through the world of Sesame Street!”.

World of Warcraft is still around after all these years and apparently those playtesting the latest build have reported the addition of a “Darkmoon Faire” that features an actual roller coaster ride you can take a spin on with your character. You can’t miss the coaster, it features a giant creepy evil eyeball that stares down upon everyone below at the peak of the highest point in the ride. Check out the video below…

Tivoli Gardens will invest about €13.5 million for the 2019 season as part of a ride replacement program. From what I’m told, several of the park’s oldest rides are slated to be replaced with newer versions. Included in the mix are a new generation of [COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]Bumper[/COLOR] Cars, the park’s Odinexpressen (powered Mack family coaster) will be replaced by a new general Mack powered family coaster called “Mælkevejen”, which translates to “Milky Way”. The park is also adding a Zierer Force Zero called Karavanen which will replace the existing [COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]Camel[/COLOR] Trail coaster. The park’s Fatamorgana tower ride will also be a bit more thrilling in 2019 as a new “tilting” action is being added. A few more changes and upgrades can also be expected, and you can get a complete rundown posted over at Themeparks-EU this week.

According to Behind The Thrills, the Shamu Express kiddie coaster at SeaWorld San Antonio is closing down to make way for a new experience. Well… kinda. While the park hasn’t released the details, the thought is that they will likely keep the coaster and retheme the trains to have a new Sesame Street character theme, much like what they are doing in Orlando where that park’s Shamu Express is becoming Super Grover’s Box Car Derby. It makes sense to do this in Texas as well, as the coaster is located smack in the middle of a Sesame Street themed kiddie play area mixed in with other rides themed to Sesame Street characters.
