Wasn't sure where to put this but Mr Speculation seems to be adamant that the new FV arcade building will have a ride in it if approved.

Personally I don't believe it and expect the new arcade to be just that, an arcade. Yes the height extension is interesting but I still don't think ride hardware is the reason for that. I still think that the mentioning of an op cabin on the plans is purely accidental.
I’d argue that the height extension is odd if they’re only keeping it as an arcade, though. What things would you realistically put in an arcade that would require a greater building height than the Edge Games building had?
I don’t see the height extension being a design flourish, as a park in Alton’s planning predicament will want to build things as small as possible. Not to mention that more height equals more cost… why would Merlin spend unnecessary extra money if there wasn’t a good reason for the building to need a height extension?
The other thing I’d say is that while I’d take anything like that with a pinch of salt, Sean Evans is another one who has arguably proven himself to have a past record of reliability.
I’m not saying that there is a ride going in there, but some parts of the evidence are certainly fishy, in my opinion…
