In 2020 the Diamond ThemePark Awards will be celebrating their 10th Anniversary.

Every year, for the past 10 years, Patrick Joossens and Vincent De Vriendt have organised a quest to find the best amusement parks and zoological attractions.

21 award categories have been created for the public to vote on in 2020.

Efteling – the fairytale theme park in the Netherlands – has completed the track for their new family roller coaster, Max & Moritz.

After attaching nearly 5,000 bolts and nuts, the final sections have now been installed.

This completes the two different tracks for the new ride, which includes Max and Moritz courses.

Liseberg has announced that their new family dark ride Underlandet will open on April 25 in Kaninlandet (Rabbit Land).

The new dark ride will take guests underground to experience the rabbits’ secret world, and will be the largest investment for families since Liseberg built the Rabbit Land in 2013.

It will feature a series of highly detailed themed environments that include animations, sounds, lighting and special effects.

Europa-Park in Germany has achieved the highest number of visitors in its history, with over 5.7 million visitors in 2019.

2019 was characterised by construction work and significant investments - the water park Rulantica and the adjacent hotel Krønasår cost around 180 million Euros. It is the largest single investment that Europa-Park has ever made.

In addition, there was the reconstruction of the Scandinavian themed area, which was destroyed by the fire, and the new ride Snorri Touren.

German theme park Tripsdrill will open two new Vekoma roller coasters in spring 2020.

The two additions will be a Family Boomerang Coaster named Volldampf (Full Steam Ahead) and a Suspended Thrill Coaster named Hals-über-Kopf (Head Over Heels).

These new rides will have intertwined layouts, which means that the tracks of both roller coasters will cross several times.
