WHAT'S NEW AT THE PARKS
On this page we have a list of rides and shows at the various parks that are either new or have undergone major changes within the last couple of years. We do this as a service to all of our past guests who may be thinking about returning and for our potential guests so that they know what has changed at the parks in recent years. You'll find that the parks do not stand still but keep evolving to keep up with the latest technology. So if you are considering a trip to Orlando read on to find out about current attractions and future projects that already under construction. We will add items to this page as they are confirmed to be in production, and there are lots more things awaiting production start dates
