The massive new roller coaster from Vekoma will rise from the forest floor and the ashes of corona by April 2022. Fønix (Phoenix) will rise 40 metres into the air – and extend majestically into the forest – in Denmark’s longest loop ride. Fønix will be the undisputed fastest bird in any Danish forest with a top speed of 95 kilometres an hour.
Fønix will be the first roller coaster in the world to feature a “stall loop” - a spectacular world first element combining the all-time favorite classic looping with the inverted stall into one new unique element. In this new element the train is forced into an overhead position by half a loop followed by an inverted camelback where the riders experience a period of 2.5 seconds of weightlessness before entering the second half of the loop combined with a twist.
Fønix rejser sig fra skovbunden i påsken 2022. Fønix vil stige 40 meter op mod himlen - og brede sig smukt ud i skoven - på Danmarks længste loop-bane. Fønix bliver ubetinget den hurtigste fugl i alle danske skove med en topfart på 95 kilometer i timen!

The models are creatures made up of different animals, as well mythical creatures. There's ogres, alicorns, lava dragons, hydras. Then in the imaginery mixed up world theres a winged mouse, a dog with a peacock tale, a flower covered rhino and one of the largest ever LEGO models, Maximus the Sky Lion.
Maximus is a winged lion, and the centre piece for the big new ride of Mythica, Flight of the Sky Lion. Maximus required 5,530 pieces and weighs 1,520 kg. It took 15 model makers 3,000 hours to build
The impressive four headed Chimera took 12 Model Makers over 650 hours to assemble, using a total of 109,522 bricks. The Chimera is inspired by Greek mythology, featureing four different heads: a snake, shark, eagle and lion.
Flight of the Sky Lion is the centre piece attraction of the new land, LEGO Mythica - World of Mythical Creatures
Built by Brogent Technologies the ride features 7 gondolas across 3 floors, each carrying up to 10 riders. The almost 5 minute long attraction brings riders face to face with the Chimera, Lava Dragons, Alicorns, Hydra and of course, Maximus the Sky Lion.
Joining Flight of the Sky Lion is Hydra, a fun and sometimes wet ride with riders taking the control of jet ski boats.
And Fire and Ice Freefall is a double tower ride with gondolas spinning around towers as the drop and shoot back up.
There's also a new restaurant called the Hungry Troll, a LEGO creature building area and a chance to come face to face with the colourful pegasus, Bits n Bobs.
LEGO Mythica raises the bar for UK theme park attractions. Flying Theatres are very much destination attractions, with Flight of the Sky Lion perhaps being the UK's first true destination ride in a theme park.
NB some archive footage is used of another flying theatre so as to give a better understanding of the ride.
Will this be the best RMC yet? Will this be the best rollercoaster to open in the USA in 2021? Not long to wait until the ride opens to the public.
Hear about what the project entailed and jus what guests have to look forward to.
The new LEGO Mythica land features 3 rides, including Hydra's Challenge and Fire and Ice Freefall, as well as new restaurants and many unique LEGO models.
Usually takes about 4 hours to build, but on this occasion, due to parking a bit took close to a fence, it took a while longer as they had to move it over part way through build up. Ooops
They started at 7am and finished at 9pm, allegedly only stoping for a 20 minute lunch break.
The funfair ride is one of the most visually impressive rides touring the UK, with Cy Abbott always putting on an impressive light and sound show.
Standing at over 25 metres tall, the Flight of the Sky Lion ride will be at the heart of LEGO® MYTHICA: World of Mythical Creatures, the hotly anticipated new land which marks the Park’s single biggest investment since the gates opened 25 years ago.
Once aboard the Flying Theatre ride, families will quite literally be taken under the Sky Lion’s (Maximus) wing and transported to the parallel universe of LEGO MYTHICA, where mythical LEGO creatures come to life. As they swoop, duck and dive over the incredible landscape, families will come face-to-face with the realm’s many characters, including the two-headed Hydra (Duo), Fire and Ice Bird (Crystal Flame) and the Greek mythology inspired Chimera creature.
As part of today’s announcement, the Resort has released an incredible artist’s impression showing the other exhilarating new rides and attractions that feature in the land. Standing at 13 metres tall, the equivalent of 325 LEGO Minifigures, are two drop towers named Fire and Ice Freefall, and prepare to get wet on Hydra’s Challenge as guests steer their own vessel on this thrilling water attraction.
Also not to be missed will be the 13 mythical creatures made from more than 1.7 million LEGO bricks by a team of 15 master builders over the course of 8,649 hours, almost a full year of building. Adorning the Flying Theatre building will be the breath-taking model of the Sky Lion, Maximus, made of 685,530 LEGO bricks, weighing more than 5,819 kilogrammes. Using the Resort’s new augmented reality technology, guests will be able to see the mythical LEGO creatures come to life before their very eyes using the LEGOLAND App.
Working in partnership with Kids Industries, the LEGOLAND Windsor team behind the new land spent a year discussing and testing ideas and concepts with seven to 11-year olds and their parents who influenced everything from the final ride experiences, names and characters.
Helen Bull, Divisional Director at the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing the first Flying Theatre ride to the UK and today revealing all the rides and attractions which will make LEGO MYTHICA: World of Mythical Creatures a must-do experience for families in 2021.
“The whole country has never needed escapism more than they do right now and we’ve worked closely with children and their families to make sure our new land delivers the thrills for everyone, whether it’s their 25th visit to LEGOLAND Windsor or their very first. Subject to Government guidelines, we’re planning to open LEGO MYTHICA on Saturday 29 May and tickets are on sale now to experience the country’s first Flying Theatre as well as everything else the Park has to offer.”
Also set to feature in the new land will be the Creature Creation where guests can build their very own LEGO MYTHICA creatures; an adventure play area called Lava Dragon Play; a character meet and greet experience, Creature Encounter and The Hungry Troll restaurant and Beastly Bites snack bar.
The Resort’s existing 4D Cinema will feature a new and exclusive LEGO MYTHICA film which tells the story behind the mysteries of the parallel universe through the eyes of the loveable BitsandBobs character.
LEGO MYTHICA: World of Mythical Creatures is currently under construction and will be found between Heartlake City and the Resort’s LEGO-themed Hotels.
The two brothers worked like a well oiled machine knowing exactly where to be and when to do each part of the pull down/build up. Showing how strong they are as a family.

Regarded as the South of England's Largest One Day Fair, the Sloe Fair in Chichester takes place every year on the 20th October. The fair is protected by royal charter and dates back to 1107. Obviously when it first started, like so many of the UK's traditional fairs, it began as a chance to trade and sell livestock with a carnival atmosphere, with rides appearing much much later.
The fair today is organised by the London branch of the Showmans Guild of Great Britain with the likes of the Walls, Searles, Noyces and Bensons bringing their rides to the fair.
Amongst the line up of rides in 2019 were
Keely Wall Superstar
Jerome Benson Frogger
John Davis Xflight Freak Out
James Cole XLR8 Waltzer
John Searle Wild Traks Dodgems
John Searle Jumpin Jaks Frogger
Tommy Benson Twister

The Gravity Group wooden coaster opened in 2019, featuring a rather nicely themed Timberliner train.
How does the new Hypersmooth 3.0 and Horizon Levelling work out when being raced across uneven ground on a Traxxas X Maxx RC car. Which do you think looks the best? For me at 5K it appears to have less detail than at 4K, and you can certainly see that Hypersmooth doesn't like low light conditions such as being driven in the shadows of trees.
Video features 5K and 4K resolution clips, alongside a test of Motionlapse.

Storm Chaser is a Mack Rides Spinning Coaster set to debut at Paultons Park in 2021 as part of the new land Tornado Springs.
Comment below with which you think produces the best image.
For me, although the OneR looks sharper with better colour imagery, it produces far more artefacts than the GoPro, is more smeary in fast movement, has weird jitters and looks horrific when moving indoors.

The video was given out to all those attending the Nemesis 10th birthday party back in 2004. Having dug the VHS tape out the loft I've ow converted it for more to be able to watch and enjoy.
