The large steel wall frames for the huge new Guardians of the Galaxies ride building are starting to go up and apparently you can get a great look at them as you pass by on the monorail going into Epcot.

Wow! Big news came from Disneyland Paris today as WDI's Tom Fitzgerald announced at an Imagineering panel that as part of the renovation to the park's Phantom Manor, they will be bringing back some of the original narration for the ride recorded by Hollywood horror legend Vincent Price when it reopens this fall. Many MANY years ago I purchased a Haunted Mansion anniversary CD sold at Disneyland, and I'm not sure if they still sell it or not, but it contained the Vincent Price edition of the Phantom Manor as a bonus track. It is as fantastic as you think it would be, I love the idea of it being returned to the attraction in some fashion.
In addition, there will be some extras and enhancements added to the attraction, including one that will apparently solve the mystery of exactly WHO the mysterious Phantom is. Also worth mentioning is that guests can look for a "MagicPass" system to arrive in Paris for limited testing starting this summer ahead of a full roll out in 2019. The MagicPass system will be a card based version the Walt Disney World FastPass+ / MagicBand system, but Paris has no plans to roll out MagicBands themselves and will stick with the card based system only, much like the Disneyland Resort in California.
Speaking of new technology additions, you can also expect to have both Paris theme parks covered by free WiFi network access by mid-2019.

New from Coaster Crazy:
Join us for another bank holiday Monday vlog as we hit up Wicksteed Park located in Kettering Northamptonshire UK
Wicksteed is the 5th oldest theme park in the UK opening way back in 1921, however it is technically the 2nd oldest after Blackgang Chine due to the fact that Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Bottons Pleasure Beach and Dreamland are classed as amusement parks
Wicksteed is home to 3 different sections of the park with rides, 3 coasters, play area for kids, miniature railway, huge grassed areas, lakes and the UK’s oldest Shoot the Chute water ride ! I did say that I was the oldest in the world however after doing some research the oldest is located in America

Jedi, Sith, and Stormtroopers have taken over Legoland California for two weekends starting today through June 10, during the Carlsbad park’s 2018 Lego Star Wars Days celebrations.
Lego Star Wars Days return this year to Legoland California Resort, expanding for the first time with two weekends on June 2-3 and June 9-10, 2018. This year’s festivities are bigger than ever before with activities which include Lego Star Wars Miniland scavenger hunts, family build challenges, Lego Star Wars fan gallery, Droid Hunt with costumed fan groups, costume contests, character meet and greets and more.
Favorite activities taking place in the Lego Star Wars Miniland Model Display – which depicts seven different Lego Star Wars scenes – include a Scavenger Hunt and Droid Hunt, where guests of all ages receive participation badges (while supplies last) and are asked by Imperial personnel “How long have you had these droids?” Guests may answer in exchange for a raffle ticket. One winner each day will receive a Lego Star Wars prize pack and two return tickets to Legoland.
A brand-new Park opening ceremony will kick off the festivities. Guests can meet costumed fan groups throughout Miniland and the entrance to the Park, Lego Darth Vader, plus a brand new meet and greet character: Lego Captain Phasma. Other new activities include a Landspeeder build and the Use the Force Challenge, where competitors are blindfolded and race to build the best creation.

- The time has come for one of my most anticipated theme park trips of all time! Join me as I spend my first ever day at Cedar Point located in Sandusky, Ohio. Ever since I saw videos of Top Thrill Dragster under construction back in 2002, I've wanted to visit this incredible amusement park.
In this vlog I experience many of the different roller coasters at Cedar Point and along with sharing my thoughts and full reviews, I also include various different off ride angles of the coasters. Along with that I explore the parks different midways and areas for the first time, meet up with some new friends much more in this action packed vlog from America's roller coast!
Stay tuned in the next few days for my day two vlog, including first reactions to Steel Vengeance!

Good news from Cedar Point yesterday, as they reopened Steel Vengeance with two-train operations, just in time for the CoasterMania event that day. CP also says that they have added it back to the Fast Lane Plus program as well.

Is Kraken VR working it's way back to SeaWorld Orlando? It looks that way. According to a new photo tweeted out the other night, the VR headgear pouches have returned to Kraken's trains on rows 3 through 7. Nothing else has returned and the ride is still operating normally, but you can expect the load times to increase significantly once again once the VR gear returns. Just in time for the busy summer season, right?
Sorry guys, I know tons of you dislike what happens when you put VR on a popular coaster like Kraken, but at least the first two rows are being kept VR free this time around. I might suggest that they might want to look into trying a 50/50 split to help speed up the load times. I know when I visited Europa Park last summer, while they kept their Coastiality VR enhancements to the park's less popular coasters, where they could act as an actual enhancement, they would typically only put the VR riders into select rows where special staff would help speed up the loading process for them and keep things running efficiently.

It has been awhile since we've heard anything about the rumor of Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom being replaced by a next-gen version of the Indiana Jones Adventure ride, but our friends at Disney & More take a look into the latest rumors on this topic, including the rumor that AK and DLP may even share the development costs for this project, that would see a clone also built in Paris in the near-future near their own Indy themed coaster. Meanwhile the news may be more urgent for the Florida resort, as the current Indiana Jones stunt show is rumored to be closing down sometime after Star Wars: Galalxy’s Edge opens, which would remove the only Indiana Jones themed area from all of Walt Disney World. So you could imagine that they would want to put him back somewhere else fairly quickly if that happens.
I don't know how accurate this might be, but one possible rumor even blends the two concepts into one attraction, having Indiana Jones encounter a lost world of living Dinosaurs. Hmmmm.... makes me wonder if this could be what the rumored 2024 attraction might be.
