This year, kick off the new year with a journey of discovery abroad. In the coming year, there will still be many exciting events around the world worth looking forward to — some are annual international classic sporting events, some are a moment of reflection before a pause, and some are newly opened popular theme parks...

Japan Lego Land

The world’s eighth “Lego Land” will open in Nagoya, Japan, in April, becoming the second Lego Land in Asia after Malaysia. Covering an area of 93,000 square meters, Nagoya Lego Land (Legoland Japan) is divided into six zones: Lego City, Adventure Land, Mini Land, Lego Kingdom, Lego Factory, and the Shopping Street. There will be over 40 rides and giant installations, including a Lego city made from more than 220,000 Lego bricks. Pre-sale tickets are now on sale.

Disney Avatar Theme Park

The imaginative scenes from the movie “Avatar” are about to become a reality, and fans eager to enter the planet Pandora can get ready for the journey.
The world’s first Avatar theme park (Pandora – The World of Avatar) will be located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida, USA, and is expected to open this summer.
The theme park will feature Pandora’s floating mountains, winding rivers, towering peaks, dense forests, glowing waterfalls, bioluminescent plants, and creatures like the thanator. Even the Na’vi people and the spirit Eywa will be transformed into rides and entertainment experiences, taking you on an adventurous journey into the world of Pandora.

20th Century Fox Theme Park

Malaysia is set to launch the “20th Century Fox Theme Park” by the end of 2017, making it another major movie-themed park following Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. The park will be located on Genting Highlands in northern Kuala Lumpur and will be connected to First World Hotel, which offers 1,300 rooms.
The currently announced rides are based on several iconic special effects films and animations from Fox, including “Alien,” “Life of Pi,” “Night at the Museum,” “Ice Age,” and “Rio.” There will be 25 attractions featuring cinematic effects rides, thrill rides, dark rides, children’s rides, and water rides.

World’s Tallest Roller Coaster

Brace yourself if you love thrills and have a strong heart. Florida is about to unveil what is claimed to be the world’s tallest roller coaster. The Skyplex roller coaster, located in Orlando, will stand 173 meters tall. As you reach the top and hold your breath, you’ll suddenly plunge down at speeds of approximately 104 km/h. The track also features multiple inversions. You’ll need nerves of steel!

If you want to try a virtual experience before the opening, you can check out the Skyplex simulation video on the official website — even watching it is enough to make you scream!
