What's new for 2013? Rides and Attractions

[larrygatorObsessive Overlord of the TPR Park Index]

Just like we did for 2011 and 2012 this thread will serve as a place to house a list of "what's new" for 2013 at major amusement parks and links to the announcements. We encourage you to notify us of any new rides/coasters by posting in this thread.

Discussions about individual rides and parks should continue in the appropriate discussion thread through the links in this thread.

Rumors will not be included. We also don't plan to list every attraction, so outside of major announcements this is limited to parks TPR has covered (or will likely cover in the future) in the Park Index.

[azza29Donkeys are my way of life!]

New park: Wet 'n Wild Sydney (opening December 2013)

[Nrthwndbitchbikerbearhousewife]

^^

Damn, that list looks a-ma-ZING so far, Larry!

Makes me think/dream of The Ultimate TPR Tour -
going to every single one of those new openings,
ha ha.

And by that time - Kidtums will have taken over
the business from Mom & Dadd.

[VinTheAttendantChallenge me at Donkey Kong...I dare ya!]

These lists ALWAYS get me pumped for the following year, putting up everything worth getting excited for all on one list. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

On that note, don't forget Six Flags New England's Bonzai Pipeline.

[australianalexA village is missing its IDIOT!]

For new parks, Wet n Wild Sydney could be added, though I'm not sure if you're including waterparks.
You could also add SW7 at Alton Towers to the list, but I assume you're waiting a full announcement from the park first.

[_koppenA donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.]

I thought Sochi Park Adventure land was for 2014?

[HurricaneDoes Not Support The Hobosexual Agenda]

Sea World Australia has a new attraction opening in 2013, no word on what it is yet... but it's rumored to be a Mack Water Coaster. The teaser the park is providing so far is "The Storm is building, It's going to be a big one: New Attraction coming 2013"

www.seaworld.com.au - on the home page if you wait for it to rotate. It's also on the facebook page as well

[ThunderheadThe best thing about TPR is the donkeys.]

I have to say, on a slight tangent, I really like how Six Flags Corporate announces their 2013 plans all at once. I wish Cedar Fair would get on board with that.

[bravoCan I park my donkey here?]

... here at Fantasilandia, Chile, will be open a Zamperla Air Race this November. But this information is not released yet, even tho the ride is actually been tested.

[larrygatorObsessive Overlord of the TPR Park Index]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll add any of them if I can find pictures or news of the addition online or within park/vendor websites.

I'll add waterpark attractions if they are affiliated with an amusement/theme park, but not specific to a waterpark.

I do now see on what appear to be a Sochi official site that the opening is being pushed to 2014.
