Every NEW Roller Coaster, Attraction, & Theme Park Opening in 2024 | Part 1: North America

Gee Wickers that’s some good gravy 2024 a new year a time for new aspirations New Opportunities new challenges new choices and of course new rides roller coasters and theme parks good day everyone and welcome to the very first theme park parlay episode of 2024 my name is Parker and to today

We’re doing our annual Roundup of every new ride roller coaster attraction and theme park coming in 2024 as with every year we have some very interesting additions coming and we’re going to go Chain by chain and continent by continent to discuss them all now I have

A very long list of things that will be gracing our Parks this year so I actually decided to split this video up into three parts this is part one where we’ll be Focus focusing on every new addition coming to North America plus a few International projects from Disney

And Universal because you know they’re american-based companies and I didn’t want to split them up so anyways some of the attractions on our list are highly anticipated While others might be from Parks you’ve never heard of before either way I am thrilled to share my findings with you so without any further

Ado let’s talk theme parks He all right we’re not going to waste any time here so let’s jump right into it and begin with Cedar Fair specifically my home park Canada’s Wonderland who will be expanding the water park with the addition of a new slide called Moose horn Falls manufactured by Whitewater West moose

Horn Falls will invite Riders to board a six-person raft for a twisting River Adventure that will culminate in a 13 m z gravity wall I love water sides that feature these wall Style Elements they are so fun and you really do feel that moment of weightlessness at the top

Moose horn Falls is inspired by the real waterfalls along the Moose horn Trail in New Brunswick’s funy national park with this and the recent additions of Moka plunge Lakeside Lagoon and Mountain Bay Cliffs I wouldn’t be surprised if Splash work scy complet Canadian rethe in the

Next few years but that’s a topic for another video one of the most anticipated coasters coming in 2024 is the long awaited reimagining of Cedar Point’s Top Thrill Dragster which will reopen this year as Top Thrill 2 designed by simpa the new ride will be distinct from its predecessor by the

Addition of an LSM swing launch and a 420t tall Spike the top thr2 experience will begin with a 74 mph launch forward Wards towards the original intimate top hat which will result in a guaranteed roll back you’ll then be hurled backwards at 101 mph and Ascend the new

Spike after a moment of weightlessness you’ll dive back towards the Earth and a launch of final time at 120 mph up and over the top hat and across the Finish Line although the swing launch has its naysayers within the coaster Community I’m very excited for this especially considering that I’ve never done the

Original dragster and I’m enthusiastic to see Z Paro work on such an iconic ride the other highly anticipated coaster project within the Cedar Fair chain is of course iron Menace at dhy Park this B&M dive coaster will be situated on Stinger’s former plot of land and will dominate the park Skyline

With a height of 160 ft unlike most dive coasters that feature a 90° vertical drop iron Menace will dive down at an angle of 95° the second Vietnam dive coaster to do so so after diabolical Cliffhanger at Six Flags Fiesta Texas like that coaster iron Menace will also

Feature the seven across train design after the initial plunge iron Menace will feature four inversions an emman a zero g roll a tilted Loop and a cork screw at 2169 FT it’s not the longest coaster ever but it looks super unique and I kind of like the inversion Focus layout

But the most intriguing part of this ride is its backstory take inspiration from the Lehigh Valley steel industry iron Menace takes Riders back to the early 1900s where the greedy steel Baron H McTavish has just disappeared after the creation of his massive rail haer dubbed the iron Menace but CED ofir is

In just about the throws in 2024 as we gearing up for two Camp Snoopy Renovations the first is at Kings Island which will open Snoopy soapbox racer one of the first Poma family boomerangs in the US the 672 ft RAC trck will take Riders both forwards and backwards

Through a series of twists and turns that the entire family can enjoy a companying the new coaster is beagle Scout Acres a campsite themed sensory play area where kids can crawl run and climb around to their hearts content and a listen this may not sound exciting to

Most people who watch my channel but having these sort of active spaces for kids within the parks is incredibly important and a very welcome addition for families honestly I hope we see more of these kind of additions soon Kings Island is further leaning into the camp theme with ctivities led by Snoopy and

The Peanuts Gang giving kids the opportunity to raise the camp flag on a flag pool light a campfire or sound the camp bugle I think this is so creative and it shows that the park is fully committed to the immersion of the land and to providing younger guests with

Unique experiences that they might not get otherwise the additions will be complimented by some name changes to existing attractions as well Race for Your Life Charlie Brown will become Charlie Brown’s Rushing River log ride flying Chase aerial chase is getting a fresh new color scheme and will reopen

As Woodstock’s air Rail and Woodstock’s gliders will be renamed Franklin’s Flyers jumping over to not Berry Farm we’ll find our other Camp Snoopy renovation that will reimagine the area with new attractions and experiences the highlight of course is a replacement for the old Timberline twister which closed earlier this year Snoopy’s tenderpaw

Twister a zampera family coaster appears to be a clone of Daddy Pig’s roller coaster from pppa Pig theme park featuring both a traditional lift Hill and a tire driven launch the other rides coming in this reimagining are the allnew Sally swing Along is empera super happy swing and Snoopy’s off-road rally

A rethe of their Old Rocky Mountain Trucking Company ride with extended track and terrain the project will also see upgrades to the sple Express featuring a series of new camp vignettes and wood Sox air mail will reopen in a new camp post office area the final big component of the Camp Snoopy upgrades

Will be the addition of the Camp Snoopy Theater which will host a new Camp Snoopy Show in the daytime and special campfire entertainment at night of course other cosmetic and theming upgrades are expected around the 6 acre area also note that knots has removed huff and puff and the High Sierra Ferris

Wheel to make for these new experiences of course we can’t talk about CED Fair without talking about Six Flags because well assuming everything goes through the way it’s supposed to the two companies will become one in 2024 through a merger of equals transaction but you can watch my video

On that if you need a refresher for now I’m considering each company separately but we’re going to start off this part of the discussion with a project that I don’t think is getting the attention it deserves flash Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Great Adventure this will be the world’s second ever bakoma super

Boomerang the other one being Cloud shuttle at Phantom wild Wonderland and Tong Shang China like Thea’s other Boomerang coasters flash Vertical Velocity will travel both forwards and backwards through its layout but this time it will travel through 1,430 ft of track that will include a 164t tall tower and three inversions or

Six if you count going in both directions you know I have been wanting to see a thrilling Next Generation voma coaster in North America for a few years now so I’m very happy that we’ll finally be getting that with the flash but that’s not all for six flag’s Great

Adventure 2024 marks the Park’s 50th anniversary and in addition to the new coaster the park will also be gifted with the Savannah Sunset Resort and Spa which will feature Ultra luxurious tents adjacent to the wild safari Savannah another coaster I’m really looking forward to next year is Bobcat at Six

Flag Great Escape of course the park had to retire their beloved Alpine Bob last summer but I think this gravity group Woody will be a fair replacement Bobcat will be a little on the smaller side coming in with a modest height of 55 ft and a track length of 1,412 M these

Family gravity group coasters are so much fun though I got to do Kentucky flyer Kentucky Kingdom last summer and had a great time so I can’t imagine Bobcat will be any different the coaster will also be built with Bradley group’s new pre-cut track system and features some sick looking Timber liner trains I

May not be the devil but I’m going down to Georgia to talk about a new coaster coming to the thrill capital of the south in 2024 Six Flags Over Georgia will open the world’s first intimate Ultra surf coaster Georgia Surfer and yes that is the final name for this ride

The coaster was nameless when it was first announced but the park looked to its fans for suggestions and Georgia Surfer was ultimately chosen as the winner the 54t halfpipe will feature free spinning cars Dynamic water effects an airtime Hill and will reach a height of 144 ft the coaster appears to be

Intimate take on the mock power Splash using a similar LSM swing launch system where it differs however in addition to the inclusion of spinning cars is the fact that instead of a traditional splash down the ride appears to make use of water jets the parks website claims that these water interactions will

Include a vertical wave ball and a water vortex tunnel the Brilliance of this is that the park will be able to adjust these effects and turn them off which will allow the ride to operate even in the cooler months Six Flags Festa Texas is gearing up to create the largest DC

Universe land in the United States which will include some thematic upgrades and the addition of three new rides including cyborg cyber Revolution a zampera nebulas Shazam Tower of Eternity a 70t rotating family drop tower also from zampera and Metropolis Transit Authority a 16 passenger Art Deco monreal that will give Riders a relaxing

Aerial view of the land much like the pupil mover at Magic Kingdom the DC transformation will also see several other existing attractions get a superhero or super villain makeover Streamliner coaster will become bat coaster Chase Rambling Road will become the penguin Gotham City getaway SkyScreamer will become Supergirl

Skyflight Sun Pilots will become Green Lantern Emerald flight and Sky Searchers will become poison ivy toxic Spin and that’s all in addition to the six existing DC Universe attractions Kid Flash Cosmic coaster DC super villain swing Joker Carnival of chaos Superman Krypton Coaster Batman the ride and

Wonder Woman lasso coaster I I know we tend to scoff as Six Flags attempt at DC theming across their Parks but when all the rides are grouped together in one decently themed land like this I really don’t mind it I think this project has some real potential to show what can

Really be done with this IP so I’m looking forward to seeing everything come together the park is also expected to open their kids Water Park expansion that was announced for 2023 Six Flags America will be celebrating their 25th anniversary in 24 and they’ll be celebrating their birthday with a new

Steampunk themed land called steam town that will take over the former Coyote Creek area steam town will include a new simper nebulas called Steam warer and new trains in theming for minder raser through voma SLC and those new generation SLC trains really do make a world of difference Renegade Rapids and

Coyote Creek crazy cars will also receive new names and theming elements but details on those projects have yet to be announced announced the Park’s popular stunt show will also make a return as part of the steam Town overhaul and the land will be accompanied by a new dining hall and

Retail experiences the previously announced Rip Curl Blaster water slide is also expected to open this summer Six Flags Over Texas will be making some improvements to their Bugs Bunny boom toown area including the addition of two new kids rides the park exclosed two other attractions in that area in recent

Years including Sylvester and Tweety’s Ferris wheel and yose stam’s Texas teacups rumors point to the return of Daffy Duck bucket blasters which was removed in 2021 to make way for Aquaman Power Wave the other ride remains unknown at the time of recording the foundations for both have been poured

Rounding out our Six Flags editions are Six Flags Great America and Six Flags St Louis who will both be adding a 172t tall zamura giant Discovery Great America’s will be called the sky Striker and the one at St Louis will be called The Joker Carnival of chaos which will

Feature a fun house style entrance next let’s talk about hin family entertainment Silver Dollar City has just closed the iconic 50-year-old fire in the hole which is widely regarded as the world’s first indoor roller coaster but before you start mourning its loss rest assured that a

New version of the ride will be opening in 2024 fire in theole 2.0 is being made by Rocky Mountain Construction which will be the company’s first official Fay into the family coaster market like the original the new fire in the hole will feature segments of powered inclines and three gravity-driven drops including a

Splash down finale the legacy of the bald noobers will continue as new special effect technology tells a fictional account about a real KN that occurred long ago in the Ozark Mountains when the mining town of marmaros was burned To The Ground by notorious falantes called bald offers in fire in

The hole guests will be recruited as volunteer firefighters and board a fire pumper from the Silver Dollar City pumper Factory only to find the town in Flames I loved the original fire in the hole and although it was sad to see the original go I am beyond excited for this

New iteration which will add modern technological upgrades to a beloved classic fire in the ho will also be part of a newly Incorporated fire district which includes the station number three firehouse and some family friendly attractions but this isn’t the only RMC project in the herend chain the Beloved

Lightning rod which opened in 2016 as the world’s first launched wooden coaster is getting a recharge the park will be removing lightning rods famous but mechanically plagued launch system and replacing it with a traditional lifto I love the launch and thought it was something that made lightning rod so

Unique and so special I’m disappointed that they have to get rid of it but I understand that its reliability was well dismal and hey the rest of the ride is still fun so a chain lift really isn’t the end of the world but the major 2024 project for Dollywood is the

Long-awaited opening of the Dolly Parton experience now a Dolly Parton themed exhibit isn’t anything new prior to this the location was home to the Chasing Rainbows Museum however the new Dolly Parton experience will be three times the size of the original HIIT incorporating interactive elements that take us on a journey through Dolly’s

Life from Locust Ridge to the world’s biggest stages Chasing Rainbows had already closed to make way for this experience when I visited Dollywood in 2022 so I’m so excited to see that this will be opening soon and I think Mike and I will need to plan another trip to Dollywood when it

Does moving on from hen we have Palace entertainment and I think the star of their 2024 projects is adventur land will be celebrating 50 years of operation their indoor roller coaster underground which have been closed for all of 2023 will be refurbished and reopened with new technology effects and

Story elements the reimagined experience will take guests deep into an abandoned mind in search of sheriff Sam’s lost gold but the funniest project of the year would have to go to Kennywood will be retheming their classic bumper cars to their famous Potato Patch fries with 20 brand new vehicles Storyland in Glenn

New Hampshire will be celebrating their 70th year in 2024 and holy cow their big new project is the addition of the utterly amazing Mo Lagoon a farm themed water play area that will include three new slides cob Cruiser silk slider and husk Runner interactive water features and even a tractor that soaks finally

Lake comant will be completing Renovations of their PTC wooden coaster Wildcat which will see it retracked with gravity group’s new vertically oriented engineering pre-cut track system the chain formerly known as SeaWorld parks and entertainment recently announced that they are changing the name of the company to United parks and Resorts but despite a

Change in N cature United parks and resorts are continuing their trend of adding something new to just about every Park in their chain and in 2024 they are making a splash at SeaWorld Orlando with the addition of penguin check B&M family launch coaster which will be a first for

The Swiss manufacturer taking over the former site of Empire of the penguin penguin Trek will allow guests to board a snowmobile and embark on an exciting research mission that will see them navigate 320 ft of indoor and outdoor track and reach a top speed of 43 mph the conclusion of this Expedition will

Be the discovery of a real penguin habitat which will parallel Empire the Penguins finale that combines the attraction with an animal exhibit I don’t think people are talking about this right enough I think it looks super fun and I’m not just saying that because of my love of penguins I think it’s

Another great example of the park striving to create unique and interesting family coasters which really pushes the entire industry forwards and while we’re speaking of blidian family coasters from B&M if we drive a few hours down I4 we’ll find Bush Gardens Tampa who will be adding a new family

Suspended coaster called Phoenix Rising it will featuring track length of 1,831 ft and a maximum speed of 44 mph the layout reminds me of the coma family suspended coasters like dragon flyer at Dollywood Phoenix Rising will also feature onboard audio and lighting effects there are also some rumors that

The park will introduce a new ice skating show and put in some work to renovate kangaloon the last coaster project in the chain is the retracking of Lochness Monster at Bush Gardens Williamsburg the I iconic AOL Looper made famous by its famous interlocking Loops originally opened in 1978 and this refurbishment will include

All new track manufactured by Premier rides as well as new thematic elements that will enhance the ride story according to the park Nessie will reopen with an enhanced queue a glimpse of the monster lurking in the water below and finally guests will come face to face with the legendary beast in its shadowy

Cave Lair this ride is a fan favorite so it’s refreshing to see bus gardens invest in it in such a big way thereby ensuring that its Legacy will endure for decades to come next let’s head over to SeaWorld San Antonio last year the park announced the addition of catapult Falls

The world’s first launched FL ride unfortunately the ride had some delays but they do plan on getting it open for 2024 like I said last year catapult Falls has got to be the most unique Flom ride out there featuring a conveyor belt to launch and elev Ator lift and a few

Airtime Hills my only wish is that it appears to lack any real theming which would have solidified it as a stand out attraction apart from its innovative gimmicks SeaWorld San Diego won’t be opening any new rides in 2024 but they will be introducing a new exhibit called jewels of the sea the jellyfish

Experience as the name suggests jewels of the sea will allow guests to get up close and personal with various species of jellyfish the exhibit will also include one of the ‘s largest jelly cylinders a walkthrough Arch and a giant viewing wall wrapping up our Lu World 2024 plans is Sesame Place Philadelphia

Who are relocating the sunny day Carousel to the front of the park to make way for the new 123 playground this 3000 ft play area will feature theme shade structures slides and interactive play panels there are also rumors of a dinner theater that could open by the

End of the year which would be part of the Park’s continuing efforts to renovate the front entrance magic abounds at the Disney parks and nowhere will that Disney Magic be stronger in 2024 than at Tokyo Disney sea this project has been in the works for a few years now but the allnew port

Of Fantasy Springs will finally be inviting guests to explore the worlds of tangled frozen and Peter Pan this year this new land is essentially going to be Disney se’s version of fantasy land and although it’s being presented as a singular area connected by by a magical spring the three IPS will occupy

Distinct areas each with their own unique look and feel although I could probably F an entire video talking about what is planned for this new Port I’ll stick to the highlights the Frozen Kingdom will be anchored by Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey essentially the exact same ride as Frozen Ever After at

Epcot and Hong Kong Disneyland the area will also have two restaurants Royal Banquet of Arendelle and oaken’s okay Foods Rapunzel’s Forest will transport guests to the kingdom of Corona where they can experience Rapunzel’s lantern Festival this romantic boat ride will recreate Rapunzel’s Best Day Ever as she

Recounts the journey that she and Flynn Ryder took to attend Corona’s Lantern Festival not too much else is known about the ride except that the finale will feature countless flickering lanterns that float in syn with the music of I See the Light Rapunzel’s Forest will also feature Rapunzel’s

Tower and a restaurant themed to none other than the snuggly duckling finally Peter Pan’s Neverland will feature Fantastical landmarks like the Jolly Roger and Skull Rock along with two attractions Peter Pan’s Neverland Adventure will be a dark ride that flies guests over the jungles of Neverland as

Guests follow Peter and the Lost Boys into a fierce battle with Captain Hook and an attempt to rescue Wendy darling’s brother John using a mix of new technology Dynamic 3D imagery and a bit of pixie dust this attraction is shaping up to be the modern upgrade to Peter

Pan’s flight we’ve all been Desiring the other attraction Tinker Bell’s busy buggies will also be a dark ride this time guests will help Tinker Bell deliver parcels and packages to the four seasonal Realms of Pixie Hollow the neverland area will also include a restaurant called Lookout cookout Fantasy Springs will officially open on

June 6th and it will also be accompanied by the opening of the Fantasy Springs hotel which will offer direct access into the land it’s also worth noting that 2024 marks Tokyo Disney Resort’s 40th year of operation jumping back to the United States we have another project I’m enthusiastic for as

Disneyland in Anaheim and a Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World resorts in Florida will finally be opening Tiana’s Bayou Adventure this immersive Vlog Flom experience will use the same ride system and layout as the former SL Mountain but this time your log will take you Into the Heart of the Louisiana

Bayou as a joined Princess Tiana Prince naen and LS to prepare for a Marty gr celebration Disney describes the ride as a love letter to New Orleans and an authentic celebration of black Joy when designing this ride imagineers took several trips to New Orleans and even enlisted local Artisans that craft some

Of the artistic elements you’ll see in the queue and on the ride Splash Mountain was a beloved attraction and a fan favorite for many however the more I learn about Tiana’s Bou Venture the more I’m excited for it I think Disney is doing things right with this one and I’m

Optimistic that guests will fall in love with this adventure when it opens staying in Walt Disney World Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be Making Waves as they replace their old little mermaid show with a another little mermaid show yeah okay I’m being silly about it now but the original show called Voyage of

The Little Mermaid has been running at the park since 1992 I’ve only seen it once myself and that was all the way back in 2007 I do remember enjoying it though and it used a good mix of live actors puppetry and Laser projections however that so close for the covid-19

Pandemic in 2020 and never returned now when the little mermaid a musical Adventure opens this fall the Beloved animated story will be brought to life once again through the use of new set pieces Cutting Edge effects and a bold new design another popular Walt Disney

World show is getting a glow up as well as the country bear jeree has just gone down for a major refurbishment and transformation Grizzly Hall has been showing this beloved animatronic musical spectacle since the park opened in 1971 when the Bears take to the stage again this summer they’ll be performing

In a new show inspired by Nashville musical reviews called the country bear musical jambur which will include covers of classic Disney songs with countryfied rearrangements although some movies sad to see the original go I actually think that the attraction was due for a refresh and I’m excited to see what they

Do with the new songs this one has already opened but on January 10th Disneyland Paris launched their new nighttime spectacular Disney Symphony of colors the show begins with the electrical Sky parade which uses over 500 drones to depict symbols and characters that appear to be inspired by

The floats from the original Main Street Electrical Parade the results are spectacular and Disneyland Paris has truly mastered the art of drone technology within the theme parks and I’m not going into detail with this but the Disneyland Paris Resort may also open their iteration of the kingdom of

Arendelle at the Walt Disney Studios park by the end of the year construction is underway but no announcements have been made yet and most rumors actually Point towards a 2025 opening either way it’ll be fairly similar to its counterparts in Hong Kong and the aforementioned Fantasy Springs and

Finally the Advent Ventures continue on the star tour simulator attractions at Hollywood Studios Disneyland and Disneyland Paris as they receive new scenes from the Disney Plus show Ahsoka adding cool new attractions in 2024 seems to be a universal experience including as universal destinations and experiences see what I did there anyways

The big news item for this year is that Universal Studios Japan will be expanding their version of Super Nintendo World with edition of the Donkey Kong Country mini land usj was the first Universal Park to open a Nintendo themed land with phase one opening in 2021 now Donkey Kong Country

Will bring new experiences to the land including Donkey Kong Minecart Madness based on the memorable Minecarts levels from the games this roller coaster experience will be unique as it will be the world’s first boom coaster this means that the car will travel along a false track as the real track will be

Hidden underneath in the form of a vertical rail this Innovative system will help create the illusion of the coaster jumping over perilous gaps in the track after being blasted out of a barrel cannon at the golden temple guests will weave Through the Jungle in an attempt to save the Golden Banana

From the tikit TAC tribe like the rest of the land Donkey Kong Country will feature interactive elements that will allow them to collect the KO n letters through a series of mini gamess Donkey Kong Country will also include a retail location themed of funkies flying by where guests can purchase DK themed

Merchandise a snack stand and a meet and greet at Donkey Kong’s jungle tree house note to that when epic Universe opens at Universe of Orlando next year their version of Super Nintendo World will include both the Mushroom Kingdom and Donkey Kong Country sides upon opening but that’s a spoiler for next year’s bid

The former Kids Zone area at Universal Studios Florida is currently receiving some massive Renovations and will reopen this year as DreamWorks land the old woodywoodpecker nous coaster will be renamed as troller coaster to fit in with the popular trolls franchise not too many other details have been

Released yet but it does appear that the land will also feature attraction themed to Shrek Kung Fu Panda Gabby dollhous and possibly a few others in fact Shrek’s house has even been spotted peeking up from behind these construction walls as Shrek swamp will be replacing fal’s Playland a playground

And some meet and greets with various DreamWorks characters are also expected to be part of the new land there’s also been some rumors that Universal Studios Forida will be debuting a new nighttime spectacular on their main Lagoon called cational a symphonic spectacular which may incorporate drone technology all right this next section

Is a bit of a big one as we’re going to be tackling all of the additions coming to Independent Parks across North America and G willikers I think we’re going to start this discussion with a coaster that unexpectedly captured the hearts and imaginations of Enthusiast from its initial announcement and that’s

Good gravy at Holiday World appropriately going into the Thanksgiving area of the Park good gravy will be another bakoma family Boomerang and yes it will have a different layout than Snoopy snowbox Racers at Kings Island good gravy will feature 1,500 ft of track and reach a Max height of 72 ft

And a top speed of 37 mph of course the reason why this ride stands out so much is its theming which is beautifully manifested in its gravy boat themed trains I think this ride is so cute and it’s exactly the kind of Attraction Holiday World needed American Triple

Loop makes the list again but I think Indiana beach is actually going to open it this year this wchof lubing coaster originally opened in 1984 and spent some time in the German Fair circuit it bounced around to a few other Parks before for finding a home at lafier

Chapek magiko where it operated as Kima until it experienced a tragic accident in 2019 Indiana beach purchased the coaster the following year and after a few years of delays I’m excited to see American chleo finally start its new life in 2024 I’m always happy to talk about new

Canadian coasters on here so it’s with great pleasure that I can talk about Thunderbolt at Vancouver’s P Playland which will be the Park’s Lar lest investment to date this coaster began as an intimate accelerated coaster called Senza fiato at morika in Italy from 2009 to 2018 but much like Toto through at

Cedar Point Thunderbolts launch system will be overhauled by zampera which will technically classify it as the umera lightning coaster model taking up the former corks group spot the ride features 380 M of track an 18 M drop and an acceleration that will make Riders feel 1.3 G Thunderbolt will also be

Themed with a supernatural environment featuring extraordinary animals graphics and lighting effects appearing on the list for yet another year are palome and circuit breaker two roller coasters that are planned for COD land a small amusement park located at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin Texas palindrome

Will be a gauer Infinity coaster that will travel both forwards and backwards through its Highway jumping layout and circuit breaker will be North America’s first ever voma tilt coaster both rides look dope and despite a few years of delays track is on site and construction has started so hopefully we’ll see at

Least one of these screen machines up and running by the end of the year Santa Village in Jefferson New Hampshire is getting a new coaster this year and this one will be a bakoma family coaster called Midnight flyer this attraction is supposed to emulate the feeling of

Flying on a reindeer Le sleigh and is being built in the same spot as the now defunct Moody’s Rapid Transit coaster Santa Village is not a park you hear a whole lot about so I love how this simple but fun-looking Edition is putting them on the map but that’s not

The only Santa’s Village getting some exciting new additions this year Santa Village and Brace Bridge Ontario completely unrelated to the other one we just talked about will be adding three new mccoa themed rides in 2024 fly fishing which appears to be a flying scooter ride falcon’s nest a sunkid

Tower where you hoist yourself up to the top and allow yourself to junly fall back to the ground and moose on the loose a pony track attraction from ride entertainment and I’m most excited for that one because I absolutely adore moose on the Loose aerian Lake so it’ll

Be great to have one of those in Canada as well these attractions will make up phase one of a major expansion plan for Santa’s Village and the park is hinting at a major project for 2025 five could Santa’s Village be building a new coaster well that’s something we’ll have

To find out in next year’s video Steel Pier One of the bordwalk parks in Atlantic City New Jersey will be opening a currently unnamed Premier rise wild mouse very little is known about this project at the time of this recording and the previously announced Skyrocket 2 has been pushed back to 2025 Niagara

Amusement park the park formerly known as Fantasy Island appears to finally be adding some new rides since it was purchased by IB Parks into entertainment in 2021 when finished the island Clos in 2020 the Park’s former owner sold off some of the rides and left the new Niagara mement Park feeling a little

Empty but in 2024 they plan to open an SDC zeyon Galaxy called serpent a wisdom rides minor mic coaster as well as long-standing rides like Giant Wheel antique Autos caterpillar Pony carts and the flying witch Dark Ride it’s also worth mentioning that Niagara musum park has a sorz COV shuttle Loop in storage

Which originally opened as kennywood’s laser Loop but it’s unclear if the park is still planning on building it one of my favorite small Parks kobal will also be adding some very interesting flat rides this year the park is in the process of building a Bayon curve a ride

Type that has all but disappeared from Modern Amusement Parts by combining the tract of two former Bayon curb rides essentially creating a sort of Franken ride I have always wanted to ride one of these so I really hope the park is able to pull this off earlier in 2023 the

Park removed their long-standing zamer power search and replac it with a classic Rocko ride that came from Joyland however they are working with Zera to create a newer modern version of the power surge that uses electric motors instead of a hydraulic system which should allow it to run more

Efficiently than ever power search will return to its former s in 2024 at which time the Rocko plane will be reload located elsewhere in the park the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk in Santa Cruz California will be celebrating the giant Dippers 100th anniversary in 2024 they’re also going to be adding two

New rides the dream wheel a 65 ft Ferris wheel from chance rides and surge a chance rides freestyle Morgan’s Wonderland the world’s first Ultra accessible theme park designed for those with special needs will be investing $6 million into new additions this year the San Antonio theme park will be opening

Four new rides including a 4D Cinema that will play a short film called the Mars roller coaster an accessible zipline attraction called Rocket skyflight Adventure a ride called Jets magic bikes and a passenger boat ride called pyate Island cruises now I believe Jets magic bikes is a modification of Z Pea’s magic bikes

Which will make the ride wheelchair accessible and allow guests to make their bike go up and down using foot pedals or hand cranks I I haven’t heard much about Morgan’s Wonderland before but I think they are doing incredible things down there it also makes me question why this level of accessibility

Isn’t standard or at least something you see more often in other theme parks but that might be a topic of discussion for a Future theme park par episode who lives in a casino on the Las Vegas Strip SpongeBob SquarePants well he will in 2024 when spudz Bob’s crazy Carnival

Opens at the Adventure Dome an indoor theme park at the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on this Sally Corporation Dark Ride guests will join SpongeBob and Patrick as they are tasked with bringing supplies to Mr Krab’s Carnival however instead of bringing carnival supplies they accidentally end

Up bringing the crabby patty secret formula and must work to keep them out of the hands of Plankton the ride will feature 15 scenes video projections and six animatronics including one in Mr Krab at a Carnival Barker which was shown off at aaba it sounds like the ride will feature a series of

Interactive mini gamess similar to Disney’s Toy Story Mania a clone of this ride is also set to open at the land of Legends in Turkey but it’s unclear whether that will be ready for this year or if it’ll open in 2025 Silverwood is gearing up to make a Big Splash in 2024

With Emerald Forest a 4 acre expansion to the boulder Beach water park the highlight of this water park Edition will be eagle hunt the first dueling water coaster in the west and the longest water coaster in the United States with a length of 925 ft this proide creation will have Riders race

Through three high-speed saucers get blasted up for Hills and dive through the first ever proslide Shadow effect which I’m not really sure what that is Emerald Forest will also be home to Salmon Run a kitty area inspired by the fish that inhabit the Idaho Lakes Salmon Run will include eight different slides

And a splash pad oh and speaking of water slides Alabama Adventures is set to open a new four-person family R slide for their Splash Adventures Water Park it doesn’t have a name yet as the park is looking to its fans for suggestions so if you’re watching this and the name

  1. such great info Parker, thanks as always. Spending as much time as I did with a 3 year old on my WDW trip, I can first hand relate how important those soft playground spaces are. I'm curious to see what they did in ToonTown in Disneyland when I visit in November.

    We visited Grizzly Hall early enough on the last day & enjoyed the show one final time. I'm looking forward to the re-theme, especially being a fan of Mac McAnally. Just hoping Melvin makes it through. Work on Tiana's is coming along too, more scaffolding was removed in January of 2024.

  2. This was an OUTSTANDING overview of all the cool theme park additions coming our way!
    Love that you included my home park, Knott’s Berry Farm, and all the updates coming to Camp Snoopy!

  3. Parker you made an outstanding job of all these rides coming to the North American parks! I'm most excited for Top Thrill 2, I rode the original Top Thrill with a friend when it first opened & we loved it! The Bobcat's cars look so awesome & Georgia Surfer seems like it will be fun to ride or watch and get wet. And it's nice to see the DC Universe is getting revamped, hopefully this type of refresh happens across other Six Flags parks in the coming years.

  4. Suuchhh a good list, thank you so much Parker!!! Outside of Disney & Universal, im the most excited for the SpongeBob ride, the Mattel Theme Park, ThunderVolt coming to Vancouver, & COTALand in Texas!! Im bookmarking this video, such a good job 👏👏

  5. Appreciate all your hard work compiling all this information!

    At Silverwood, I’m wondering if the “Shadow Effect” is referring to the pine trees depicted on the semi-transparent tubes? Either way, that water coaster looks phenomenal!
