Busch Gardens has filed permits for a new coaster for 2020 asking to build up to 315 feet above grade. Apparently, this does not mean that any new coaster will be that tall though as the terrain is very rough and in actuality the coaster could just be 180 feet tall. The permits also indicated a 159 foot tall top hat element.

Stay tuned to this blog for more details of this coaster as they become available and comment below what type of coaster you think it is or what type of coaster you would like to see go in this spot!

Busch Gardens Tampa has announced that Tigris is opening in just a couple of weeks on April 19th. Tigris is the same model of coaster as Electric Eel at Sea World San Diego and several other coasters around the country.

This Skyrocket model coaster is perfect for theme parks that do not have large spaces for expansion as it is a very compact yet thrilling coaster. Next door to Tigris is Gwazi which is undergoing a massive RMC renovation marching for a 2020 debut. What are your thoughts on Tigris and will you be riding it in a couple of weeks? Let me know down in the comments below!

Universal Studios Singapore, Universal’s smallest park at only 49 acres, is set to undergo a massive expansion in the coming years that will expand th 120 acre resort by 40 acres to 160 acres. This expansion will bring a Minions Park area and Super Nintendo World to the park.

Minions Park is currently in Universal Studios Japan and is an expansion of the Super Silly Fun Land area and it looks quite charming in my opinion. Minions Park will replace the Madagascar area in Singapore. Super Nintendo World is coming to Japan, Florida and California and I expect the layout of the one coming to this park to be similar in style to the Japan and California locations.

The 3.3 Billion dollar expansion will also include resort enhancements like tripling the size of the resort’s S.E.A aquarium and bringing a people-mover type system connecting Sentosa Island to the Sentosa Mainland. This people-mover will have a capacity of 1,800 people per hour and should really help with the increased crowds when all these expansions open up. Lastly, there will be a new “Waterfront Lifestyle Complex” that will include two new Universal hotels.

This humongous expansion will begin construction in 2020 with new attractions opening up each year until 2025! Comment below what you think of this massive expansion. Would you guys like to see Universal put something unique in their expansions instead of just copying attractions and lands from one park to the next?

This past weekend Hong Kong Disneyland opened their second Marvel attraction: Ant-Man and the Wasp Nano Battle. The ride opened March 28th, 2019 and has guests fend off enemies by shooting lasers at them. This ride repurposed the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters attraction and in terms of the ride system nothing has changed. It is still an omnimover and the pods have a slightly updated look to them to match the Marvel theming.

The outside of the attraction building also got a complete makeover to fit in with the new Marvel area coming to Tomorrowland which includes the already opened Iron Man Experience and the new E-Ticket Avengers Coaster coming to the area in 2023.

Comment below what you think of the new Marvel themed area in Hong Kong Disneyland and comment whether you think some of these rides will make it to California Adventure or Paris.

Disney has officially given us an opening date for the NBA experience coming to Disney Springs. It will officially open August 12th in the former home of Disney Quest.

Screamscape last night posted an article that Six Flags Magic Mountain has confirmed Green Lantern’s eventual removal from the park. A guest is suing the park claiming that the coaster injured her. The park has stated that the ride will be removed for future expansion in the near future.

Comment below what type of coaster should replace this ride? Should Tidal Twister go with it?

A brand new interactive experience is coming to the Disneyland Resort next month and tickets are on sale now! Pop Up Disney! A Mickey Celebration is an interactive museum featuring all things Mickey and Minnie and will be in Downtown Disney (DTD) for a limited time starting April 26th!

The tickets will be $30 and include five hours of free parking which is extremely nice of Disney. The five hours of free parking most likely mean it will take no more than five hours to experience the whole museum. The museum will feature multiple immersive rooms and Disney encourages you to take selfies in these rooms to post on social media.

Disney even gave us a sneak peak of room featuring classic Mickey.

Lastly, there will be a Pop Up! Shop located adjacent to the museum selling all kinds of merchandise for your enjoyment. If you would like to buy tickets for this event you can purchase them here.

If you are a season pass holder at Six Flags Magic Mountain, then you know that the Green Lantern Roller Coaster has been down for nearly a year. If this rumor is true, then we may have an explanation as to why that it has been down for so long. The Park President himself a while ago said that the ride is undergoing a significant refurb and will reopen as a brand new smoother experience, but as mentioned by awesome youtubers Park bros and others, the ride has not seen any work being done on it in nearly a year. Below is a screenshotted instagram post that was featured on the latest Park Bros video where the poster states that she got seriously injured on the ride and the it would not return.

As you can see in the post, the poster states that team members at the park told them that the ride would not reopen. It is unclear how true this rumor may be, but it is something certainly worth thinking about as the ride has been not operating for nearly two years at this point.

If the ride is to be removed, I certainly think they should remove Tidal Wave as well and then they would be able to put a decent size coaster in that plot. Now as mentioned Magic Mountain is likely looking to keep their coaster count up as they have constantly been touting West Coast Racers as their “Record Breaking 20th Coaster” so it is unclear when/if Green Lantern will be removed anytime soon.

If this ride is removed what would you guys like to see it replaced with? Feel free to comment below your answers and also please give me a follow as it really helps this blog out!

Well it is that time of the year again and Walt Disney World (WDW) is raising its ticket prices in anticipation of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge. Disneyland had raised its prices in January with a one day peak park hopper ticket costing $199.

Captain Marvel’s new permanent meet and greet location opened up at Disney California Adventure (DCA) Today and it looks amazing. Until now Captain Marvel has been meeting and greeting guests in a decked out corner near one of the stages in Hollywood Land, but now she has her own permanent spot just like the other Marvel heroes in Hollywood Land.

Captain Marvel’s spot is by far the coolest simply because of the airplane hangar design and the fact that there is a massive fighter jet sticking out of the hangar. This meet and greet certainly beat expectations as some would also say the movie itself beat expectations. Speaking of the movie please watch the video on my review of the movie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NznXpxt7cQ0&t=1s

With Marvel land coming next year expect a lot more meet and greets to be spread out on the West Side of DCA from Marvel Land all the way into the backlot. Over the coming years we can also expect Marvel Land ton slowly but surely take over the Hollywood Backlot area with new shows, rides, and restaurants.

What do you guys think about Captain Marvel’s new meet and greet? Would you like to go meet Captain Marvel herself? What do you guys think of the upcoming Marvel Land Expansion?
