The shuttle loop (footers allready installed) + the rare evolution ride have been cancelled in order to raise budget available to the park.
Instead they are building a theatre...

Welp, there goes my interest in the park. Hopefully they'll see consequences when opening without it soon enough...
Let's hope the shuttle loop won't be demolished now and will find a worthier home.
I don't know. The area maybe, but I doub't they would bring back the pirates ride the way it was. The park is trying to come up with his own stuff now and not copy Disney any longer for the most part.
Then again, it was a much beloved classic people miss.
Here you can see just HOW INSANELY FAST the fire started and spread.
Beginning with a bit of grey smoke at 0:25, it literally took a SINGLE 180° SPIN OF THE OBSERVATION TOWER till all was completely engulfed in flames and lost forever:
Completely destroyed:
- "Pirates of Batavia" Darkride
- Scandinavia Theme-Area including all it's fascilities like Restaurants, Games, ...
Partially(?) destroyed:
- Netherlands Theme-Area
- "Fjord Rafting" River Rapids
- The smaler of the 2 Park Monorails
Taron 18 places BELOW Blue Fire
Wodan 5 places ABOVE freakin' WILDFIRE ???
Sry, but this is the nail in the coffin for any reputation these awards once had.

The station of that green SLC ripoff is actually a ripoff itself. It's an exact copy of the station from "Goliath" at Walibi Holland.
Oh, and also the spotted Disney thingy on the roof.
