The problem we’ve got is that Merlin are extremely hesitant to invest in something unless they see an immediate return on that investment. Multi-million pound rollercoasters and dark ride attractions generally draw extra guests into the parks, so Merlin have no problem installing them.
I could be wrong, but I believe there was a rumour floating around a few years ago that, what ended up being Mechanica at Liseberg was originally meant for Towers (I believe the plan was for it to go on the old Submission site) but, for whatever reason, the plan was shelved.
I think we have to be realistic and accept that while Merlin are in control, we’re highly unlikely to see any new flat rides installed.
