Gardaland, Italy-Gardaland's new roller coaster, expected to arrive in 2015, is now believed to be a dive coaster. TheParks.it (be forewarned, the source material is in Italian) informs us that the coaster is expected to reach a height of 42 meters (about 138 feet). Merlin Entertainments, the proprietor of the park, who, in unrelated news, recently had a successful London Stock Exchange IPO, has constructed dive coasters in both Heide Park and Alton Towers, in both instances contracting B&M.
Chuncheon, South Korea-It seems as though the awaited Legoland South Korea proposal has been green-lighted, at least according to this news source. The development, expected cost around USD 470 million, will be jointly funded by Merlin Entertainments (yes, again) and the local government. Once completed, the park is estimated to draw 2 million visitors per annum.
Shanghai, China-Finally, as reported by Xinhua, the Shanghai Metro has released the artwork of 6 proposed artistic design plans for the Disneyland metro station.
