An update on some new rides that will be appearing this year in nearby parks:

The flying dutchman is the new water coaster at De Efteling (Netherlands). It looks like it has some really good themeing too. Photos of the press opening, a blurry on ride video and an outdoors video of the testing.

Phantasialand (Germany) are building Talocan which, from the looks of it, is a topspin with an aztec theme and a fire and water show.

Heide Park (Germany) are busy putting the finishing touches to Desert Race, a rocket (launched) coaster. Heide Park is on my must-visit list as I haven’t ridden the incredible Colossos yet.

And, finally, Walibi Belgium should be opening their cablecar/coaster hybrid Vertigo if they can get communication between cars to work.
