Redevelopment of Katanga Canyon

It's quite possibly from someone on Tiktok i saw a few days back. They posted a video about the essential maintenance tag on the Towers app and assumed it was shut permanently. By that logic the Skyride & Monorail are also permanently shut, they also admitted it was nonsense in the comments, so they are just spreading misinformation purposely.... for whatever reason.

I'd have thought it'd be more logical that removing from the app meant permanent closure rather than a more explicit closed for essential maintenance notice...

Surprised there's not posts when rides close for extended periods of time saying it's permanently closed because it got removed from the app...

I expect CRR to be phased out over the next few years with reduced operating hours, but RMT won't be going anywhere.

It's probably due a major refurb at some point fairly soon, so in typical Merlin fashion they'll tie it into a retheme of KC and CRR replacement to justify the investment.

I have a feeling Katanga Canyon and the car parks including the coach park that border onto area could be prime development spots for redevelopment

Of course they would need to relocate the coach park but reducing the amount of car parking needed on site and supplementing it with a park and ride service definitely should be on the park's cards if they're sensible.

It'd make the neighbours happy with the reduction in cars, offer better connection options and it'd also keep Greta and the environmentally cautious people happy too.

Plus it would expand the park sensibly too.

P.S. I know this is an ideal world scenario and I'd probably get an analytical response from this plus it's Merlin 🧙🏻‍♂️
 
Honestly, if KC is due for a chop, might it be an idea to simply have the area annexed fully into Gloomy Wood to make a larger haunted woods? If they are to get rid of Dark Forest in the near future then it could be an idea to have one large area instead in which honestly you could say would be better as one whole area. KC isn't exactly well themed let's be honest so with some thought it could work in which maybe it could all be the Alton Manor estate perhaps?

Maybe RMT if they get those new trains and updated control system could get a new theme of a possessed mine train (a la BTM at DLP) of the estate's private railway connected with the Alton family though I'm unsure how the Rapids might fit in if they survive by the time a KC retheme happens?

Funnily enough, given how Merlin can only do dark themes for their original IP work, this idea isn't far fetched honestly.
