What would be great (but highly unlikely) is a completely new story for that area of the park that is still part of the David Walliams world but not solely based off different books he's written already. That way at least it's fresh, more original and may be a little more timeless/lasting.

It won't be Lego Wrong area, wrong park, wrong IP in my eyes.

I do have to agree. It's a bit too high end for the park.
Does anyone know if its really true that nothing can be built in the coaster corner area of the park???

Personally, I would very much doubt the area would have a Lego theme. If they were to use another IP then it would need to be one that will stand the test of time. Are you nuts!?!? :p Lego has been going for about a hundered million billion years now! It wipes the floor with the likes of all the st...

The Lego rumour has been knocking about for a few years now and I always thought it was a bit far-fetched, but with the recently announced waterpark over at Gardaland, it seems it could hold some weight. I dunno though, it just doesn't seem right for Alton Towers. Unfortunately we wouldn't see a fa...

Yes, Yes, 1000 Times Yes! :) CBeebies Land has really surprised me with how well they've been able to pull it all off. But i'd much rather the park stay away from IP's The thing with an IP is it can lose popularity after a couple of years and so becomes a burden for the park to keep updating its rid...

Kind of upset it looks a bit happy lol! Was expecting it to be a bit more horror like, or a skull like design instead of it being an actual human feature head design. It’s defo a miniature version of the main themeing element I can tell the facial features are the same as the tarp covered version. ...

This could turn out to be another Air... which I hope it's not. A ride with a totally different theme plonked in a pre-existing area that already has an established theme. It's great the designers get to create the theme's for each new SW project with story etc, but they need to think about the big...

I still think it would be great if Aardman and Merlin teamed up and created a whole new world of characters they could base rides and attractions off. Cloud Cuckoo land as it is started off pretty strong with Merlin's own take on original characters, that's what i like to see, some originality and n...

what's happening with Hex then?

is it closed due to staff shortage, or is it receiving some much needed TLC?

i honestly can't see wood coming for a long long time now because of the smiler incident. to me personally, i really hope it doesn't either. i really don't see what all the fuss is about with wooden rollercoasters.

Please could i have a link?? :lol https://youtu.be/QBpZGloo0Ic" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Old one https://youtu.be/U5xCxkOxsGw" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; New one :) when was the new theme replaced with the old one? i was there just a few months after opening ...

hmm. space theme. i wonder if we'll be travelling to the planet the nemesis monster originated from?

Oh God. so if this is all true, the whole virgin galactic sponsorship and space travel theme its going to be even more removed from the rest of the theme of forbidden valley than before... if this is a way for it to have its own land with a collection of other attractions on the car park next to it ...

I would like Cloud Cuckoo Land to be completely re-themed to fit a new dark ride in the area. I have a concept that I would like to share although this is purely for creative purposes. I am aware that it is unlikely that the resort would follow through with a development with the following theme. I...

i kind of wish that Ripsaw was replaced with a suspended topspin and themed exactly the same (but even more emphasis on the detox element i.e. more water effects etc) its a great ride, and for a basic flat the theme they've added to it really makes it stand as one of the best themed flats in the par...

I'm really intrigued by this! It looks like there's a lot of effort that going to be going into this supposed re-theme for air to hopefully link it in with SW8. its interesting because when an new SW has been built then usually the rides around it get a little retheme/paint job like thirteen and rit...

How does the size of the Duel showbuilding compare with the one they are building for the new indoor ride at Thorpe Park? Depending on the reception the new ride gets they may consider using the same technology at Alton Towers. Knowing Merlin, I doubt they would want the same ride in 2 parks, as I ...
