I noticed in the SW8 thread that someone said that the SW9 brief had already been submitted. So, I know it's very early when SW8 hasn't even finished construction yet, but here goes. So what do you guys think SW9 should or will be? I personally think some sort of water ride would be nice. Like maybe a Chiapas-style log flume. Or maybe a Mack Water Coaster. With a Mack Water Coaster, they could still make SW9 a coaster like all the others have been, but it would give them another water ride. I'm sure if they wanted them to, Mack would even chuck a launch in so that Merlin could market it as "The UK's first launched water coaster" Or, they could even chuck an inversion in if they wanted to be really radical. Merlin could market it as "The world's first launched inverting water coaster". We all know how Merlin like their world's firsts, don't we? Another question is where is it going to go? Other than CCL, I'm not really sure where they could put a large water ride like I'm speculating. A lot of you mention the Galactica car park, but I'm not sure how they could link that with Forbidden Valley. I'm thinking CCL because they could put it either in the Charlie building or on the fabled Coaster Corner. Although CCL is rumoured to be getting rethemed for 2019 to a DreamWorks IP, so I'm not sure at all. So, in conclusion, here are my current SW9 ideas:
Ride type: Mack Water Coaster
Area: Cloud Cuckoo Land
USP: World's first launched inverting water coaster
Theme: Honestly not sure
So, what do you guys think SW9 will be?
