Fury, one of the most anticipated new roller coasters in Europe, is now open at Bobbejaanland in Belgium.

The innovative triple-launch roller coaster from the German manufacturer Gerstlauer allows riders to vote on whether to experience the ride forwards or backwards.

Fury is located in a new 2-hectare Land of Legends themed area. The thrill ride Sledge Hammer and roller coaster Typhoon are also part of this area.

Linnanmäki has announced that Taiga, their biggest roller coaster project ever, will open on June 18.

The brand new Intamin launch coaster Taiga will have a height at 52 meters, Finland’s longest track length of 1,104 meters and a maximum speed of 106 km per hour.  In addition, the new roller coaster will have two launches and four inversions.

Walibi Sud-Ouest will debut their all-new Dark Tower thrill ride on June 29.

Built by the German manufacturer Huss, the new attraction will catapult 24 passengers to a height of 50 m (164 ft) in a vertical takeoff that will deliver over 3.5G.

Riders will then rapidly descend the tower, which is the equivalent of more than 20 floors tall.

Three new 4-star resort hotels have opened at some of Europe's most visited theme parks; Krønasår at Europa-Park, Hotel Colorado Creek at PortAventura World, and Gardaland Magic Hotel at Gardaland Resort.

The opening of these new hotels are a response to the growing demand for family holidays and short breaks at European theme parks.

The new Global Attractions and Attendance Report is the thirteenth annual collaboration between the Themed Entertainment Association and AECOM.

It identifies the most visited theme parks and water parks around the world, including Europe's Top 20.
