Please do post a trip report. You will visit before me. I’m also curious about Legoland.

Okay, managed to pin down 2 parks on our EU trip this year - Europa and Efteling look to be the parks closest to our travel route. I'd also considered Phantasialand and Walibi NL, but they will be too far away. So, they will be single-day summer visits. If you have been to either Europa or Efteling since 2022, let me know any tips or must-do's. I would ride almost anything once, but would probably prefer to not do high-G rides back to back. My other half cannot do anything more intense than Jungle Rush. Also, what websites/video channels are good for EU Park visit guides? Of course I'll post pics/report when I can.

Bah - my first time riding the Africa version and it e-stops 10 seconds in. Oh well, over to Jungle Rush for my first ever ride. Which has a queue-emptying issue before I get on. At least my pork burger was nice I guess.. Ill try to ride them again later in the day.

Too family-focused a theme to be flipped into a scary mode. -
Drat. My first time at DW in a few years and JR was closed for this. All good though, have an annual pass now so will catch it soon.

What ride should replace Doomsday Destroyer?
Whombex replied to Prequel's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I mean, the land is right next to SDSC, so a Scooby version of this would be perfect. Could even be a Western theme to tie the Scooby/WWF areas together. (With a shady queue, of course..) -
LOL at the Pelican in the passenger seat.

From the movie's Wikipedia article: If anything MW would have been a bit late had the SAG-AFTRA strike not have happened. -

At no point had I associated "Jane's Rivertown Restaurant" with Tarzan Lore. DW don't have that IP, and where was "Rivertown" in Tarzan? Some conclusion jumping going on here. Looking forward to hearing more about the animatronics.

I am surprised people are being so blasé about these generated images. Concept artists are having their art stolen to feed the generator software. Concept artists are losing work to image generators that were built on stolen and copyrighted art.

I'd love to see a show moved back into there and HSD2 replaced with a new ride.

Considering from the art they're covering the back of Superman Escape, covering Scooby is likely. -

It will be interesting to see how the track in red will interact (if at all) with the station and queue.

Quite surprised that the Tower of Terror building and Billabong are not going. I wonder if any of the Murrisippi is being reclaimed near the Vintage Cars (grey line is the paths by the looks of it), apart from Jungle Rush passing over it at one point. Maybe they will build a boardwalk over the water?

I know maps have a lot of artistic license and often hide whole precincts when closed, but are the old Gum Tree Gully buildings being removed for a full area redesign? Many of those buildings are from '82.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril is a one-trick pony with the little loop. The queue theming is good, but you're not missing much with the ride. Discoveryland hasn't changed much, it still has a steampunk aesthetic. Hyperion Cafe, Orbitron, Nautulis, etc, haven't changed.

Tiger Island Redevelopment - STAGE 1
Whombex replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I have a memory of being near Central Station and seeing a Cougar scratching and spraying on a tree. The two handlers were keeping it on a solid chain, but it was pretty docile, happy to wander and spray. My memory was of a Mountain Lion, but it's probably the Cougar I'm thinking of. Google says they're in the same family, so easy to mix up. -
