I thought they were using the flumes station as a new smokehouse restaurant?
As for the theme, surely they'd have learnt from th13teen? I know we don't know the secret element yet, but I'm fairly confident I will be a family thrill ride. We don't need more dark themes, especially when its a family coaster.
The station itself was never going to be used as The Smokehouse, it was likely just utilising the concrete base of the turntable rather than the building itself.
In any case, The Smokehouse only appeared in the Environmental Impact Assessment, and was removed from the final plans. The turntable area now states that it's 'themeing envelope 1' and will include a queue below.
