Dungeons Replacement

I personally really want Toyland Tours back but in a new form with all new and completely different scenes.

If there was any ride that best explifyied Alton Towers Magic Toyland Tours would be that and since is been over 20 years since its been at the park there's so many people who did not get the opportunity to ride it
 
Whatever it is definitely needs to be a family dark ride, something nice and whimsical.
But it's time to ditch the boat flume and start from scratch. Just don't waste money on something "trackless", please!
The Boat ride would be perfect for the target demographic I have a lot of fond memories from that Boat Ride and is a fun ride

Sure, a boat ride would be fine.
The trouble is that the existing system has been chopped up and messed with so many times, it would be more trouble than it is worth. Better to start from scratch than fall for the sunk cost fallacy.

Mack Rides still make the system and I hear rumours Pirates Adventure another Mack Rides Boat Ride could be returning soon to so not out of the question

Given the use of the ETF ride vehicles at Cadbury’s world and the relative cheap cost of just filling the trough in.

I could also see a trackless ride on the cards definitely.

Depends the theme they wrap it up with but again, they need to get the whole area right.

TWODW, Project Horizon etc. it can’t be another place where attractions go to die.
 
It would be nice to see something in the vain of Dreamflight or Symbolica from Efteling.

I feel like Merlin have trouble in terms of when making dark rides they either go all the way scary (Curse) or all the way to the younger demographic (Gruffalo), it would be nice to see something everyone can enjoy. I don't think Alton Towers is lacking in rides for a very young audience with cbeebies so something adventurous and fun without being scary would be great.

In terms of themes I'd prefer it was original, but if I had to pick a pre-existing IP perhaps a Tintin ride could be fun where you follow his adventures. He's gone all over the world and even space so there's a lot to choose from. I feel like it's got a timeless quality too that would lend itself to dark ride.

The Treasure Island one at Gardaland could fit or some other original concept or based off of an IP but not directly related like Treasure Island is
