    M&D's Incident June 2016

    2017: New Attractions for Cbeebies Land

    Why demolish spinball, they are swiftly running out of rides at Towers? if you just moved the entrance of spinball to the bottom, then demolish the noodle shack and picsolve building. You then have a big enough area for a kiddie ride expansion of CBeebies.
