[202X] Project Horizon (SW9?): Planning Approved

It's literally our only remaining cultural output. Apart from that bloke with the Taxi.

Literally, it really isn't!
Dr Who our whole cultural output?
Laughable.
Citation very much needed.

We have other cultural output. The Ibiza Final Boss, Bonnie Blue, the Jet 2 advert and the Royal Family.

As much as I love Doctor Who and would love a Who-themed ride/area, I don't believe it would have any involvement in the delay/scrapping of Project Horizon. More often than not, if an IP falls through, they will move on to something else/a backup plan, which has been the case for some Merlin projects.

I think @MrCoaster's thoughts on the planned Doctor Who animated show on CBeebies leading to characters/an attraction/ride in CBeebies Land are a bit more realistic, even though that will be a number of years away. That's the closest we're likely to see Doctor Who in a theme park anytime soon.

A very small possibility is that Project Sunshine is a dr who coaster to sort of build up hype for the show. Give it some publicity. But we practically know it's going to be bluey themed anyway so ignore me

Just an idea: might scare fest this year link up to Project Horizon, like The sanctuary to the Smiler?

I don't think so it would be the year before the ride opens if that happens

long queues, fake landscaping and a 90 sec ride? yeah I think Towers could pull off a Bonnie Blue themed ride.

Unlikely I'd say. If it's linked to anything that's in the future, I think it would be a retheme or area enhancement of Dark Forest.

I don’t think Dr Who would be big enough to be a huge pull factor anyway if they were going to chosen an IP. The golden years of New Who are over and the IP in general is on the decline even after this latest reboot, the whole show is up in the air.

Planning permission wise maybe they’re just not that stressed about it lapsing, they received the go ahead extremely quickly and mostly likely will do again even if it lapsed.
