HodgePodge: Week of July 17, 2011

Adventure World Warsaw
Poland has announced a new high-class theme park, Adventure World, will open in Warsaw in 2014! This seems to be a huge project, including a theme park, waterpark, two hotels, and a shopping and entertainment district. The theme park is supposed to follow a fantasy theme, with five "theme islands," and 25 attractions total. Construction will begin in spring of 2012. Very exciting - we'll be following this over the next few years.


Hersheypark
"Skyrush" will be announced on August 2 at 12:12 p.m., according to Screamscape. Keystone Thrills posted a construction update on Tuesday, with lots of footer pictures. Check them out here.

Westcoaster has posted a large Windseeker update from Knotts. The seats haven't been added quite yet, but the arms have and the lights seem to be installed. Be sure to check it out here.

Six Flags Great America
Screamscape posted a report that Iron Wolf may be leaving at the end of the season, and may possibly be installed at Six Flags America. There seem to be conflicting reports, however - Screamscape reports that park officials said that "there is no truth to the rumor that Iron Wolf will be taken down or moved anytime in the near future." Both sides seem pretty sure of themselves... we'll have to wait and see how it pans out.

Thorpe Park
Preparations for LC12 have begun, as you can see in the pictures posted to ThemeUK. A full announcement will be made on August 1 - until then, these will have to suffice.
