The Major New Theme Park Rides and Attractions for 2017

BY TRACY KAHANER THIS IS THE NINTH ANNUAL STUDY BLOOLOOP HAS CONDUCTED REGARDING NEW RIDES AND ATTRACTIONS AT THEME PARKS AND AMUSEMENT PARKS AROUND THE WORLD.

BY TRACY KAHANER (LEFT), PRESIDENT KAHANER RESEARCH AND NEWS EDITOR, BLOOLOOP

While this listing provides an in-depth overview of the rides opening during 2017, it is not exhaustive.

Except for a few instances those rides that have relocated from one park to another have been omitted from this analysis; along with those rides that have been renovated, restored or re-themed. In addition, the vast majority of rides geared towards the very young child (i.e. CBeebies Land) along with aquatic attractions have been omitted.

The material used to create this report has been obtained through a variety of reliable sources including the ride manufacturers, park operators, architects and designers. Per usual, no rumours or speculation of rides has been included. All information reported below has been well researched and is believed to be accurate at press time.
