Families can already start looking forward to the new season at Movie Park Germany. In 2019, Germany's studio-themed park will dedicate a whole new area in Europe's largest Nickland to the puppy rescue team from the popular Nickelodeon PAW Patrol TV series.

With new attractions, fresh design details and exciting interactive elements, Adventure Bay will be brought to life and made accessible to all fans of the series.

The new PAW Patrol area is expected to open in spring 2019.

Liseberg will invest 200 million SEK (€19.5 million) in an expansion of the Kaninlandet (Rabbit Land) family area of the theme park for 2020.

The additions will include a new attraction, show and themed restaurant with details yet to be revealed.

In recent years, Liseberg has invested in numerous thrilling attractions such as Helix, Loke and Valkyria, but now the theme park wants to enhance the experience for younger visitors.

Fårup Sommerland in Denmark will open 2 brand new family rides in 2019, a motorcycle-themed attraction and a wave swinger.

It is one of the biggest theme parks in the country with over 60 rides and attractions including 6 roller coasters, attracting more than half a million visitors each year.

The motorcycle-themed attraction is a 'Sidecar' ride from the Italian manufacturer Technical Park and the wave swinger will be supplied by German manufacturer Zierer.

Energylandia in Poland has announced that Europe's tallest hybrid roller coaster will open at the theme park in 2020. The new ride will be over 60 metres (196.8 ft) tall, 1300 metres (4265 ft) long and reach a top speed of 115 km/h (71.5 mph).

Zadra (the Polish for splinter) will feature 3 inversions, including a Zero-G roll and an inverted airtime hill.

The theme park opened as recently as 2014 and already includes 70 rides and attractions over 26 hectares.

A third resort hotel will open at Gardaland in May 2019, followed by the start of a new arrangement with Jet2Holidays to attract more visitors from the UK.

The new Gardaland Magic Hotel will be inaugurated at the end of May 2019 following a 20 million euro investment.

Concept images show off the architectural characteristics of the new hotel, with an unusual purple roof and a giant magician's hat structure suspended over a garden where gigantic, colourful flowers and mushrooms pop out.
