I think (/hope) there’s a few key reasons as to why it’s opening 2025: - They were planning on keeping it open into late 2023/2024, but issues arised & they decided to close it early. - Mack has a fabrication backlog, so the new track/trains can’t be done sooner rather than later. - They’re reversing changes made to, and updating the existing, theming as to be more in line with the expectation they’ve set with Leviathan/WoO (hopefully). - The location is adjacent to WoO’s, so it could be the case that they’re only starting Scooby after WoO. As for capacity, the trains & ride computer *should* help that immensely.

Scooby has always had this If they’re keeping the seperate load/unload stations (I really hope they are), then storage boxes are unlikely. If there are lockers, that won’t make wait times or loading worse, if anything it might help a small amount

Did you, by chance happen to provide DW with suggestions for replacing Wipeout? I'm asking for a friend.

I've overlayed TNT from Gumbuya World onto the nearmap thanks to @DaptoFunlandGuy. @mattcrombie you were almost correct!

And heres the balance. Jardin D'Acclimation https://www.parkz.com.au/search/photos/location/jardin-dacclimatation Right in the middle of Paris, it's part of a large public park, part of which historically has been used for amusement rides. A very attractive park, and reminded me in spirit of Tivoli Gardens, just a lot more spread out and less emphasis on concerts and restaurants. Lots of nice old buildings, lakes and manicured gardens. Loved speed rockets, one of the best family coasters out there, with a fun zippy layout. Their family spinner is good too. Nigloland https://www.parkz.com.au/search/photos/location/nigloland I've heard this described as a mini Europa Park and its true, not just because most of the rides are Mack, but just because of how nice the park looks, how spotless it is and how good operations are. Their mega lite type coaster Alpina Blitz is the sort of thing you can ride all arvo, and their water coaster actually gets the coaster part right with a decent level of force. The African boat ride with the "spraying' hippo was a laugh. Their indoor rides are good...Spatiale experience has quite a long track, and their ghost train has none of that small park tackiness. Must do park imo. By the way, a few behind the scenes pics of Alpina Blitz in the gallery too. Walygator Parc https://www.parkz.com.au/search/photos/location/walygator-parc The city of Metz is gorgeous, but the park was meh and a mixed bag. Their 2nd hand B&M invert is good, and a couple of bits of the park have been recently rethemed, but large bits of it are run down. OK Corral https://www.parkz.com.au/search/photos/location/ok-corral A cheesy wild west park near Marseille, with a couple of interesting coasters. Pioneer has half the train straddling horses and the back half riding in normal seats in a chuck wagon. Their family shuttle coaster is not a dead end shuttle but a full loop. So instead of going backwards forward backwards, you actually go backwards forwards forwards backwards. Huge range of flats, some look tacky, others like the bear themed Disko thing look 10/10. Parc Saint Paul https://www.parkz.com.au/search/photos/location/parc-saint-paul Actually a pleasant surprise. An amusement park with a couple of parts with good theming. Like OK corral a few of the flats look tacky, but on the whole the park is nice. Their compact Timber Express coaster is great fun and worth many rides. Also got to ride the Russian built Wild Train coaster, which is pretty wild for a family coaster and looks like it was designed by a NoLimits rookie. Le Pal https://www.parkz.com.au/search/photos/location/le-pal Superb. The rides area in itself would be a solid park in its own right, with good themed zones, but the zoo is really high quality, up there with Dubbo western plains zoo imo. Has a Mack spinner, a very intense family launch coaster named Yukon quad. They actually had to reduce the launch speed after it first opened but it's still more full on than Jet rescue, and 1km long! Finally got to ride a huss king kong, it was about as intense as a lift in an office building. The mushroom themed shooting dark ride was bizzare. Check the pics if you want to see behind the scenes of Yukon Quad Naturlandia https://www.parkz.com.au/search/photos/location/naturlandia Adventure park in the mountains of the principality of Andorra. Has ziplines and ropes courses but the draw is Tobotronc, the worlds longest alpine coaster 5400m long, 400m elevation change, 15 mins to the top via 4 lift hills, 5 mins to the bottom. And those 5 mins are a workout, simultaneously hunkering down pushing on the levers and leaning into the turns. Once was enough!
