It's a bit confusing, they have said their intention was to buy the park but they also say: Why would Aspro need to know this if it was a simple sale? It sounds more like they were expecting Aspro to retain a stake going forward. Another thought is that if Oakwood is really not for sale then...

The translation says "probably" 1st July, but you are not sure?

Could they not have come up with a new layout rather than an exact copy of the hundreds of Reverchon and Zamperla spinning mice that already plague our funfairs and parks?? At least the lack of spinning sets it apart!

Positive news folks, they have sent a catch-up email: I *really* hope this happens, but updating their website with this kind of non-update doesn't fill me with confidence - it sounds like they have had no contact from Aspro at all.

A test trough - that's not a normal thing to build. Is this a completely new ride system then? I had assumed it would be a standard flume ride.

Well it's opening day today which is weird because it's been open for months now. From social media it seems really quiet, not sure if they had a very restricted ticket run for today or if everyone assumed it would be awful and stayed away. Either way I'm very "happy for" (jealous of) everyone...

Here you go: https://x.com/OfficialRLParks/status/1924885489074553174?t=O-ETP-r6Tit2H2C64m--Rg&s=19 Everything seems to still be there, even most of Hydro seems to be lying around in pieces. The website has been completely changed now compared to how it looked a few days ago...

Well I rode Goudurix with the new trains yesterday and it was absolutely awful. I know it's always been a rough ride but honestly it is significantly worst than I remember it on my last visit in 2017. Once and done. By mid-afternoon the ride was a walk-on because nobody was going back for any...

Happy to be proved wrong, thanks 👍

I'm at Walygator Park today, Anaconda is closed which is a bit gutting. The sign says it's getting a new train: So sadly I would guess Megafobia's train is probably getting put on it.

Another naming and shaming of the manufacturer, I guess they are not too happy with Gerstlauer

Looks like testing has finally begun on the big one: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18nCwRpfaS/

RIP Scorpion, no relocation for this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJXVx7tRJ_f/?igsh=ODcyZnBuMWR6NXU=

That is absolutely mad for such a large park to have had only a couple of small hand-me-downs for the last 24 years, no wonder it's (presumably) not getting the attendance it needs. I'm pretty gutted about this as it's been unreasonably high on my to-do list for years because of Batwing (loved...

Great move, Paw Patrol is *huge* with small kids, but I'm really surprised Chessington got this because Blackpool Pleasure Beach use the IP already as part of Nickelodeon Land. No Paw Patrol ride but Character meet & greets etc. I guess they didn't have any kind of exclusivity deal then.

Walibi Pembrokeshire perhaps - we can dream!

Somebody needs to give Joyland an honourable mention, what a wonderful little place full of rides which are memorable at the very least!
