The LEGO Movie World at LEGOLAND Billund will open on May 21 with three brand new rides and a playground.

The 5,000 m2 extension will be the park's biggest investment to date, and it will include Scandinavia's first Flying Theatre attraction.

LEGO Movie World is inspired by the characters and themes of the global hit films The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part.

Walibi Belgium will open Kondaa on May 8, a new roller coaster that is the highest and fastest in the Benelux region.

Kondaa is 50m high, 1.2km long and reaches a top speed of 113km/h. It is set in a new themed area of 4.5 hectares, an extension of the Exotic World zone, and represents a €25 million investment.

Here is our exclusive interview with Jean-Christophe Parent, CEO of Walibi Belgium, about the new attraction.

Familypark in Austria invites visitors to go on a galactic star voyage in 2021 with the debut of their new family thrill ride Stellarium.

The newly developed ride from the Italian manufacturer Zamperla is unique in Austria.

Walibi Rhône-Alpes - another theme park operated by Compagnie des Alpes - was the first in Europe to open this type of ride with the addition of AirBoat last year.

Energylandia has revealed that their next themed area will be called Sweet Valley, and is due to open in 2022.

The new themed area will include a Mine Train roller coaster, from Vekoma, and a selection of smaller family attractions.

Also shown on the new park map are two new hotels and a separate indoor and outdoor water park.

Tayto Park in Ireland has secured planning permission for two new Vekoma roller coasters.

Combining both a suspended coaster and a boomerang coaster, this will be a major expansion to the theme park near Dublin. Construction will take place during 2021 ready for the 2023 opening.

The roller coasters, which represent a total investment of €15 million by the park, will create 40 new jobs in the area.
