Well, Tussauds/DIC wouldn't have "planned" it either. The planning is very much down to what the management at Alton Towers want to install - Merlin may give them an overview of the style of rides they want to see at the park, but it is the management that discuss and decide on the final things.
Merlin/Tussads etc. merely stump up and approve the financing.
