Andy aka Coaster Crazy has posted a new vlog from the Plopsaland De Panne Theme Park in Belgium. Plopsaland De Panne is a theme park located near the town of De Panne on the Belgian coast. The park opened on 20 April 2000. Before that date (from 1936 to 1999) the park, created by a honey company, was called Meli-Park and had a bee theme. The park has a total of 6 operating roller coasters, five of which have no inversions. A roller coaster named Anubis: the Ride was added to the park in 2009 and has 3 inversions and a launch system which allows it to accelerate from 0 to 90 km/h in less than 2 seconds. There are four defunct roller coasters that have operated at the park, namely Jubilé, Vierer Bob, Viktor's Race, and Crazy Coaster. A new wooden roller coaster named Heidi The Ride is planned for 2017. As the name implies, it will be based on the studio's character Heidi.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach have announced the closure of the Wild Mouse Coaster, im not surprised as i could never get on it the times i visited, heres what they say:
It is with deep regret that Blackpool Pleasure Beach announces that the Wild Mouse ride has been dismantled.
Our current winter work programme has seen the permanent closure and dismantling of the Wild Mouse and the removal of the facade of the former Trauma Towers attractions. This will create an area for future exciting developments.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a constantly evolving amusement park and has been for the past 122 years. The changes it has seen over the years are what has made it the great park it is today. This, coupled with a relatively small amount of space, means that in order to progress and look to the future we occasionally alter the landscape of the park to make way for future developments.

Andy from Coaster Crazy is another vlogger who tells it how it is and people like me prefer to know the truth of theme parks and an honest review. Phantasialand is a theme park in Brühl, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany that attracts approximately 1.75 million visitors annually. The park was opened in 1967 by Gottlieb Löffelhardt and Richard Schmidt. Although starting as a family-oriented park, Phantasialand has also added thrill rides, especially during recent years. Furthermore, following the example of Europa-Park, they have decided to attract business customers beside the regular ones, calling it "Business der neuen Dimension" ("business of a new dimension").

If your a star wars fan like me you will love the news of a new VR experiance now at Downtown Disney, heres the news:
Yesterday morning marked the grand opening of a brand new Star Wars virtual reality experience in Downtown Disney Anaheim. Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire offers fans a truly immersive opportunity to step into the famed galactic franchise. The story of the attraction itself takes place between Star Wars Episode III and IV. Teams up to four check-in and are greeted with a video message directly from Cassian Andor to complete an undercover mission for the Resistance. Everyone gears up in tactical-like equipment before jumping into an ship to meet K-2SO and the real adventure begins.Participants arrive at Darth Vader’s home of Mustafar where the heat and smell of lava take the experience to a whole new level of realism. The perceived elevation throughout moments of the mission can even turn the stomach a rebel who’s uncomfortable with heights. And it’s not just what you can see in your 360 degrees of visibility, but also what you can touch. When you reach out to grab a blaster, it’s actually there.

All my life I have been a fan of Homebrew and Emulation but equally a fan of Theme Parks and Amusement Parks, when I go on holiday I make sure theres a Theme Park nearby to keep me and the family happy.
So after a long time of thinking about it ive decided to have a News forum and Discussion forum just for theme parks featuring news, blogs and whatever else fits in.
ill start to populate this section over the coming weeks ready for the new season.
