Sounds like, with any luck, they might be finally putting the dying corpse of Dragon Falls out of it's misery, then?

I think it would be better for Tiger Rock to be rethemed it is a good log flume gets you just the right amount wet for the UK climate.

With regards to the animals I am a member of a zoo forum and it's been mentioned there that both the lions and tigers are due to move from chessington, so if that is correct still more big changes to be announced I guess.

Big Cages for them is always a plus, I guess it could mean more rides go in those empty animal enclosures they do take up a lot of room

I couldn't agree more to be honest, I think it would fit the Minecraft World very well

It could be the case that it is part of Minecraft but won't tell us until they announce the land - I do feel the area is missing a ride.

One thing that could be good is to find a way to bring the height restriction down to 1m whether that is lapbars or something else.

Hmm... I'd personally say at this point - it is unlikely and it is more likely that they'd relocate Quantum over to the same site (although that's not going to happen now at this point with it's age and similarity to Mamba Strike)

Because it was their most thrilling ride when it was at Chessington

If they were going to build one (they won’t) then it would probably be cheaper and would definitely be easier to either rent or buy a new one .

Samurai is already a knackered maintenance nightmare without being moved again .

A Magic Carpet on that site? Never been done.

It had.

Meanwhile at Alton Towers

Hmm... What shall we place on the site that used to be Ripsaw?

Toxicator

And what is Toxicator?

Another Huss Top Spin but with suspended seats and on top of a pedestal so it's different from Ripsaw

Approved!

Beaten to it.
And back in those days, it was the most intense ride in the park! 🤣

This idea was floated around I seem to recall but might have upset people removing the Tigers but a year or so the last two will be dead and they'll push this through

Think more people will be annoyed that a good portion of the park would be taken up by an IP.

Especially when you factor in Paw Patrol and Loosely Themed to Jumanji Jungle Area.

IP doesn't bother myself to much because Disney and Universal have used them for years so I don't get why people are so against IP when at the end of the day it will get more guests in then orignal ips plus we are still getting new rides

IP is fine if it's done to the extent of full immersion like those two do.

Unfortunately Merlin seem to go for the Temu special - see Jumanji and David Walliams Land. Jumanji is literally just a few plants; let's face it, the world of Minecraft is going to be absolutely nothing compared to Super Mario World at Epic Universe is it.

Jumanji is not just a few plants it has quite a few nice looking buildings.

And we won't know with Minecraft till its complete to compare it to Super Nintendo World I think could compete with the one at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Also Epic Universe is not perfect immersion itself Curse of Werewolf in Dark Universe looks out of place
 
If Jumanji was more of the buildings then sure. But they're essentially at the back end of the area in a tiny space.

Just poorly designed.
