MARKET REPORT: EUROPE
allowed the park’s food and beverage team to come up with new themed food items to fit in with Route 83 Diner. Featuring incredible rides, attractions,
and experiences, including the UK’s first flying theatre ride – Flight of the Sky Lion, by Brogent Technologies, LEGO Mythica: World of Mythical Creatures opened at Legoland Windor Resort in June 2021. Investing £20m into the Resort, this awe-
inspiring mythical world was created by kids for kids and is the single biggest investment in the park since it first opened its doors 25 years ago. Standing at 25 metres tall, the Flight of
the Sky Lion ride is at the very heart of the multi-million-pounds new land. The mind- blowing ride and 4k film are perfectly synchronised with immersive effects, whilst guests are flown through a LEGO portal soaring over the stunning animated landscape of LEGO MYTHICA. As well as the Flight of the Sky Lion ride,
mini thrill seekers can also test out the 13- metre tall (the equivalent of 325 LEGO Minifigures) Fire and Ice Freefall drop tower ride.
Meanwhile, the Hydra’s Challenge
will measure explorers’ mettle as they prepare to get wet and steer their own vessel on this exhilarating water ride, with a 481,000 LEGO brick model of the Hydra Sea Monster bursting from the depths below. Aside from the rides there are also
plenty of opportunities for families and children to build their own mythical creatures at Creature Creation and see some of the 13 new LEGO MYTHICA models that have taken a team of Model Makers nearly a year of building and over 1.76 million LEGO bricks to create. The Lava Dragon Play; a character meet
and greet experience with the loveable character Bits and Bobs and The Hungry Troll restaurant are also available. Finally, guests can brave the LEGO
MYTHICA Augmented Reality Experience in the LEGOLAND App, which enables them to scan LEGO models in the land and watch them come to life, open up a portal at home and even collect a limited- edition POP Badge providing a spy hole into the world of LEGO MYTHICA!
Also in the UK, Black Mirror Labyrinth, a
walk through maze attraction opened at Thorpe Park; Fantasy Island introduced a roller coaster called Spinning Racer by Maurer Söhne; Clacton Pier became home to the Looping Star and West Midlands Safari Park introduced new overnight accommodation, Safari Lodges. As 2021 ended, plans for The London
Resort, the first theme park across Europe to be built from scratch in nearly 30 years, appeared to gather pace with the announcement that construction would begin in 2023 since updated to 2025 and three British Firms, Electrosonic, Garmendale and Katapult, unveiled as the first businesses to be chosen to help create the UK’s first, next generation theme park.
This report is not comprehensive. We have, however, included most of the attractions that opened in 2021. Information sourced from press releases and reports, plus direct contact with parks and suppliers.
