larrygator Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Just like we did for 2011 - 2018 this thread will serve as a place to house a list of "what's new" for 2019 at major parks and links to the announcements.

DoinItForTheFame Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I love this! Thank you so much for putting it together!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thank you, as always, for putting this list together. It's nice to read a summary of everything. We all know 2018 was a very good year, but I would almost argue 2019 looks even better. In North America alone, we have major, custom roller coasters at Canada's Wonderland, Carowinds, Kennywood, SFMM, and SFGAm, as well as medium-sized additions at Kentucky Kingdom, Busch Gardens Tampa, and SFDK. Not to mention a floorless conversion and loads of frisbees and other flat rides. What a time to be alive! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thanks for the new (so far) list, Larry! Much appreciated. P.S. Shouldn't Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland be added, too? Just something I noticed, missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwee Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thanks for putting this together, Larry. It looks like we'll have a solid lineup of new rides next year, though I'm mainly excited that my home park is getting a new coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 as others have said, Thanks Larry! it's great to have this all in one post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thanks Larry! I'm not sure if you want to add it or not, but Canobie's new for 2018 water park never opened this year so it's likely going to be advertised as their new for 2019 attraction.

larrygator Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thanks for the new (so far) list, Larry!Much appreciated. P.S. Shouldn't Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland be added, too? Just something I noticed, missing. To be quite honest I didn't even know what Galaxy's Edge meant. I'll try to find an announcement to link to. Is this happening only at Disneyland in 2019 with a future year opening at Disney Hollywood Studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may have infrastructure upgrades like Liseberg's parking garages or some parks may be taking a break after huge CapEx spending in 2018 like Toverland. The popular/biggest park's we haven't read any new ride announcements from include but are not limited to: US: CGA, KD, KBF, SDC, Valleyfair Europe: Alton, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, EuropaPark, Liseberg, Toverland We know there are rumors are there about these and other parks, but we are waiting for news.

cparkes92 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hollywood Studios is late fall 2019: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/hollywood-studios/star-wars-galaxys-edge/ Disneyland is summer 2019: https://disneyland.disney.go.com/destinations/disneyland/star-wars-galaxys-edge/ Disneyland's will probably open between Memorial Day and the 4th of July, while Hollywood Studios' will probably open just before Thanksgiving (the Florida parks' peak season is the Thanksgiving-Christmas period). I will guess that Universal will try to have their new Harry Potter coaster open a few months before DHS's Star Wars Land opens. I was at Universal on Sunday and saw some track assembled.
