I’m not sure how legit this story will turn out to be, but according to this report Egypt claims to have signed a contract to build a “Disneyland-style amusement park” on a 5080-acre site in the coastal city of Matrouh. No solid timeline was given, other than to say that the project would be complete within 9 to 10 years. That’s a long time for things to go sideways and see cost estimates escalate through the roof, so forgive me if I seem to lack confidence in this project seeing the light of day.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to drive upside-down, read our exclusive interview with Michael Mack, who has just designed the world’s first looping go-kart track.
Michael “Mad Man” Mack is the CEO of HeineMack GmbH and LoonyLoop Group in Nuremberg, which are owned by him and his family. (No relation to the Mack Family of MackRides and Europa Park.) He previously developed the Rollercoaster Restaurant, which had been implemented in Europa-Park, Sochi-Park in Russia, and Alton Towers Resort in the U.K.
Mack recently granted us this English-language interview about his company’s newest development, the Mack Maniac looping go-kart track.
When did development begin on the Mack Maniac system?
The idea came to my mind a year ago. Since then we are developing the product and registered the technology for patent approval.
What was the initial inspiration for Mack Maniac?
I originally developed the idea of a new type of theme park. Carmusement offers car drivers the opportunity to drive through theme parks in their own car and be able to ride carousels, ferris wheels and rollercoasters in them. For this purpose, cars use single gondolas, which are adaptable to all rides. The car drives on the specially designed transport platform of the gondola where it will be secured and put onto the desired ride or Ferris wheel.

So what does Thorpe Park have planned for 2018? According to a press release from the park, 2018 will be "The Year of The Walking Dead, a series of unmissable events throughout the 2018 season from when the theme park re-opens on 23rd March".
This will include "The Walking Dead Living Nightmare Extreme", a walk-through live-action maze) from May 25 through June 3, special Summer late night operations, Zombie Hunt (an extreme battle in the woodland on the outskirts of the resort from July 21 to Sept 3, and Fright Nights will return with a The Walking Dead theme from Oct. 5 through Oct. 31.
They say more special announcements will be coming in the future, but I've heard a new rumor that seems to tie into all this as well. Apparently the park filed some construction permits to change the entrance to their X: No Way Out coaster, and according to our source the codename "X:/NWO WD" was seen mentioned in the paperwork. Could this mean we will see a special "X: No Way Out - The Walking Dead" come to life in 2018?

Kennywood has confirmed the news just a couple hours ago... Thomas Town is coming to the park for 2018. You can see the official website here.
(2/6/18) Apparently a little something leaked out of Kennywood over the weekend... and was then quickly removed or locked away, but the gist of it was that the new kiddie area that Parque Reunidos mentioned was on the way for 2018 will be a Thomas Town, themed after Thomas the Tank Engine. Fortunately Google remembers all and a cache-memory version was captured, which you can see, lists the rides featured here as: Olde Kennywood Railroad, Cranky's Drop Tower, Harold's Helicopters, Fireflighting Flynn and The Convoy, along with a Discover Thomas show, Sodor Play Zone & Gift Shop and a Thomas Town Party Pavilion.
They list this as an $8.5 million expansion that guests will enter near the Pagoda Restaurant and centered around the "park's 85-year-old train area."
