Every New Theme Park Opening in 2024

Every New Theme Park Opening in 2024

New roller coasters. New attractions. New  experiences. There’s a lot going on this   year at theme parks around the globe, and in my  previous two videos, we’ve been discussing all of   the new additions that will be opening in 2024.  In Part 1, we talked about new rides opening in  

North America. In Part 2, we discussed all  of the international projects in Europe,   Asia, Australia, and Latin America. But  there’s something we haven’t discussed yet:   entirely new theme parks that will be  opening their gates for the very first time.

Good day everyone, my name is Parker, and welcome  to Theme Park Parlay, the series where we discuss   all things theme parks here on Adventures With  Parker. This is the third and final installment   of our New for 2024 mini-series, and today, I’ll  be breaking down every new theme park that will  

Be opening in 2024. We have ten parks to talk  about today, and I’m beyond excited to talk about   what you can expect to find at each of them, so  without any further ado, let’s talk theme parks. [INTRO] Let’s start with one that we’ve been following  for a while, and that’s Mattel Adventure Park  

In Glendale Arizona. This park will be part  of the VAI Resort, previously announced as   Crystal Lagoons Island Resort, which will feature  a collection of luxury hotels and dining, retail,   and entertainment experiences surrounding a  central lagoon. Mattel Adventure Park will  

Feature several attractions themed to the popular  toy brand, but one of the biggest highlights will   be Hot Wheels: Twin Mill Racer, a 116 foot high, 2  503 foot long Chance Hyper GTX coaster featuring a   50mph launch, two loops, and two corkscrew  elements. The park’s other roller coaster  

Will also have a Hot Wheels theme: Hot Wheels  Boneshaker: The Ultimate Ride. This will be a   Chance Rides family coaster, featuring an 84-foot  booster wheel chain lift and a double helix.  Another big highlight of the park will be  The Barbie Beach House, which will feature  

A rooftop bar, the Barbie Dream Closet shopping  Experience, and a flying theatre attraction,   in which guests will join Barbie and  her friends on an adventure from Malibu   to New york. Other rides include Hot Wheels  Go-Karting, the Hot Wheels Unleashed 4D Ride,  

The Thomas Adventure Train: Treasure Hunt  ride and an accompanying World of Sodor area,   He-Man vs Skeletor Laser Tag, a Kerplunk  Drop Tower, and Mattel themed games. Peppa Pig made it big when she opened her  very own theme park at Legoland Florida,  

But there are already two new Peppa Pig Theme  Park properties getting ready to open in 2024.   The first will be located in the North Richland  Hills area of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metro, and   unlike its predecessor, will not be attached to  any other theme park or resort. The park will have  

Five new rides: Peppa Pig’s Balloon Ride, Grandad  Dog’s Pirate Boat Ride, Grampy Rabbit’s Dinosaur   Adventure, Mr. Bull’s High Striker, and of course,  a clone of the iconic Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster.   Other attractions will include the Muddy Puddles  Splash Pad, Peppa’s Pedal Bike Tour and George’s  

Tricycle Trail, Fun Fair games, and several  playgrounds and interactive sensory play areas. The other Peppa Pig Theme Park will be going to  Günzburg, Germany. This one will be located next   to Legoland Duetschland, returning to the  form we saw in Florida. The park will have  

A total of 5 rides – including Daddy Pig’s  Roller Coaster – and 7 themed playgrounds,   although exact details haven’t been  released. But given the numbers and   the confirmation of Daddy Pig, I expect the  offerings to be identical to the Texas park.

2024 will mark the 20th anniversary of the  Peppa Pig franchise, so the timing of these   two parks is perfect. However, something I find  interesting about these stand alone parks is that,   although they offer similar attractions,  they’re all smaller than Peppa Pig World  

At Paulton’s Park, which is included as a  themed land within the park, and not as a   separate gate. I guess the difference is that  Paulton’s Park is not associated with Merlin,   who own the theme park rights to Peppa  Pig everywhere outside of the UK.

But let’s move on from Peppa Pig and talk about  a park that has really been taking the theme   park industry by storm: Six Flags Qiddya.  Although it’s using the Six Flags branding,   the park won’t actually be built or operated  by Six Flags. Instead, it’s being funded by  

The Qiddiya Investment Fund, which is a part of  the Saudi Vision 2030 program to diversify the   economy and bring in more tourism to the kingdom.  Located 65km from downtown Riyadh, the 79 acre   park will be home to 28 rides and attractions  spread across 6 immersively themed areas:  

Steam Town – a steampunk inspired land where the  past and future collide, Discovery Springs – which   will have a focus on water, Twilight Gardens –  which will feature beautiful foliage that comes   alive with lighting effects at night, the Valley  of Fortune – which will celebrate Arabian culture  

And architecture, Grand Exposition – which  will be inspired by the world expos of the   past that brought the world’s nations together,  and finally, City of Thrills – which will feature   the park’s most extreme rides and coasters.  Among these is the infamous Falcon’s Flight,  

Which will be the world’s tallest, fastest,  and longest roller coaster. Designed and built   by Intamin, Falcon’s Flight will have a total  height of 639 feet, a drop height of 519 feet,   a top speed of 250 kph, and a length of 4250  metres. This monstrosity will be the world’s  

First exa coaster, and its highest point will  include a turnaround and dive off a canyon wall.  The park will also be home the world’s tallest  drop tower, a Vekoma tilt coaster called Iron   Rattler, a GCI wooden coaster called Colossus, a  Maurer Rides spike coaster called Sea Stallion,  

A 240-foot tall Intamin launch coaster called  Spitfire, a Vekoma family suspended coaster called   Adrena-Line, a Mack water coaster called Saw Mill  Falls, a Vekoma Horus model family coaster called   Twilight Express, a Zamperla family balloon ride,  a swing ride, and a pendulum ride (most likely  

A Zamperla Discovery). Overall, the park sounds  extremely ambitious but well thought out. Despite   some delays, construction of the park seems to  be coming along at a decent pace, making a 2024   opening very likely. I don’t know if I’ll ever  get to visit this park myself, but it has captured  

My attention, and hey – never say never. Saudi  Arabia has been making some major changes over   the past few years, and with a project like  Qiddiya, they obviously want people to come. Staying in the Middle East, Dubai Parks & Resorts  is transforming their former Bollywood Park to  

Become Real World Madrid – the world’s first theme  park themed to the Real Madrid football club.   Unlike the Bollywood Park, which placed a greater  emphasis on entertainment-based experiences, Real   Madrid World will lean into the world of thrills  and excitement. According to the official press  

Release, “Real Madrid World will welcome sports  fans, families and friends who can look forward to   adrenaline-pumping themed attractions, immersive  experiences and fan engagement opportunities,   celebrating football and basketball in the Real  Madrid way.” We already talked about the GCI  

Wooden coaster formerly known as Bombay Express,  but the park is also rumoured to include rides   that were intended for the canceled Six Flags  Dubai project. Although the concept of theming   a park around a sports team may seem a bit odd,  it’s important to remember that there’s a strong  

Fan-culture surrounding Real Madrid overseas,  so it does make sense given the context. Jumping on over to Japan, we have another popular  franchise being brought to life this year with the   opening of PokePark Kanto at Yomiuri Land! Now,  PokePark Kanto is being advertised as a new theme  

Park within Yomiuri Land, but the reporting makes  it unclear as to whether it will actually be a   separate gate or just a land within the existing  park, similar to how Universal advertises the   Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Nevertheless,  it’s being treated as a separate entity,  

And either way, this is exciting. Yomiuri Land  describes PokePark Kanto as “a space where Pokémon   fans from all over the world can gather in this  area rich in nature, experience Pokémon, and have   fun together, transcending national, regional, and  language barriers.” Yomiuri Land previously opened  

A Pokemon themed attraction called Pokemon Wonder,  which allowed guests to explore hiking trails   while searching for Pokemon in the grass, acting  as a sort of outdoor scavenger hunt experience.   PokePark Kanto, on the other hand, is expected  to be a full-fledged amusement park featuring  

Immersive environments and rides, similar to  Universal’s Super Nintendo World. Speaking   of which, this is an interesting project  considering that Universal is also planning   on bringing Pokemon attractions to their Osaka  resort, but I’m sure the concepts are different   enough that it’ll still work. PokePark Kanto will  celebrate the history of the Pokemon franchise as  

It will focus on the Kanto Region from the  original Pokemon Red and Green games – which   is fitting considering that Yomiuri Land is  located in the real-life Kanto region of Japan. The world will soon be home to another  Legoland property this year, as Legoland  

Shenzhen is expected to open in China sometime  this year. Spanning 584 000 square-metres,   this will be the largest Legoland resort in  the world, and will include the theme park,   a water park, three themed hotels, and a  shopping and entertainment district. The  

Park itself will have nine themed zones which  will host a variety of LEGO inspired rides and   attractions including the classic Miniland  displays, indoor and outdoor play areas,   and the world’s largest Legoland Theatre –  which will be big enough to seat over 1000  

Guests. Legoland Shenzhen is also being marketed  as a “smart” park, taking advantage of Shenzhen’s   latest developments in digital technology.  This will be the first of three Legoland   parks that will eventually open across China,  with the other two expected to open in 2025.

Hossoland is a 40 hectare theme park being built  in Poland. It will feature 50 attractions across   four themed zones: the City of Mermaids,  The Mysterious Kingdom of Baltambrya,   Brave Viking Land, and Enchanted Dragon Mine  Valley. Although not much is known about the  

Actual attractions coming to the park, it is  expected to include a few coasters from Vekoma   and Mack Rides. The park is being designed by  Jora Vision, who also designed the Aqualantis   area at Engergylandia. The park will be inspired  by the legends and lore of the Baltic Sea, and  

Looking at some concept art, we can see a Viking  themed swinging pendulum and river rapids rides,   what appears to be a B&M invert, a water coaster,  and a spiral slide built into a lighthouse. Also   this awesome looking launched coaster, which looks  similar to other projects we’ve seen from Mack.

Wonderla, India’s largest amusement park  chain, is preparing to open their fourth   property in Bhubaneswar this year. Built on a  50 acre site, Wonderla Bhubaneswar will be the   most compact of the Wonderla properties.  It will feature two roller coasters,   a family caterpillar coaster called Termite  (a staple of the Wonderla parks), and a Maurer  

Rides spinning coaster that originally operated  at Lebanon’s Habtoorland as Twister before that   park permanently closed. A fifth Wonderla park  is also expected to open in Chennai next year. And finally, a small park called Funland Tanjung  Morawa in Indonesia just opened earlier this year  

On January 20. Information about this place is  pretty scarce, but we do know that it’s attached   to the already established Waterland Tamora  waterpark. Some of the park’s attractions include   a wave swinger, a pirate boat called Viking, a  spinning teacups ride, a carousel, a paratrooper,  

Some kind of tracked car attraction, a spinning  coaster, and at least one other roller coaster. And there you have it… every new ride, roller  coaster, attraction, and theme park that you can   expect in 2024. Again, if you haven’t seen Parts  1 and 2 yet, be sure to go back and watch those,  

But wow – I think this might be the largest  list I’ve ever done for this, and even then,   I know it’s probably incomplete. But that’s  where I turn it over to you. Which of these   theme parks are you most excited for? Do you  have any plans to visit any of them? And if  

There’s any projects that I might’ve missed,  please let me know so we can all learn about it. But yeah, that brings us to the end of this New  for 2024 Theme Park Parlay miniseries. Thank you   so much for watching and following along, and  if you want to see more theme park discussion
