Area retheme ideas

Finally remove Rita and install a Danse Macabre style attraction on the Rita queue location, themed around the harpist from the Swiss Cottage and ITHOMK. Fits in close to the towers, hides some of the Thirteen track.

It basically writes itself. Retheme the remaining DF food buildings to an abandoned Victorian fair stalls. Jobs a good un

I would rather they add a lot of themed flat rides like it was before with Ug Land rather than 1 big ride.
 
This might be controversial but I wouldn't mind seeing Dark Forest getting a retheme, scrap Rita and keep Thirteen but change the theme to the Lost Gardens with a light and dark side. The light for new family friendly flat rides with a spring time peaceful ambience like something from Efteling or Liseberg while the dark side being Thirteen.
 
Also would still like to see either a Sir Algernon and friends retheme for the WoDW or a more timeless IP like Sonic and even better as its British and Towers has a pre existing relationship with the BBC, Doctor Who when it returns from limbo of course

mY thoughts:
twodw: an upbeat theme, the park has enough dark and menacin, it needs to touch grass.
redo gangsta granny to fit the new theme, glass roof over the street to semi enclose the area (perfect for rain, cold or Christmas). Car shells and props updated to new theme. Indoor walk through in old nick building.
bring a show back to the theatre.
turn dungeons back to a family friendly dark boat ride.
utilise the buildings for shops, cafes etc.

dark forest to become: vault valley. Hex and bondage bar to be incorporated into this area,
key focal: new tree in chains large prop to be in the walled in dovecote area, possible paths linking vault valley and her ladyships garden.
rip out existing Rita and 13 queues. 13 queue to snake through the woodland to new entry point where rollerdisco was.
rita queue to now start near the sky ride station. Cleared a huge spa E there to give the land some much needed breathing space.
refurb, not just repaint, the food outlets. Suspend ?How camo style netting over the open areas to give a darker feeling.
 
If I wasn't concerned about money
I have 2 ideas for TWODW:
1:
build an building around the area, and have the inside dark and themed to an enchanted forest type of idea, add a walk through attraction and send the gangster granny ride system to another park (Thorpe needs some dark rides), as its throughput is really low for a family park like Alton and replace it with something like the mack shooting theatre, which has a high throughput and theme it to some sort of evil witch theme.

I think this could work really well as a theme, as the forest theme can cover up the roof and is quite a light and nice theme

2:
similar to previous modify ganster granny, add more vehicles and 2 train loading and make the vehicles stop with shooter screens similar to toy story mania with a similar theme hopefully achieving higher throughputs

for the dark forest I would keep the theme the same, but remove rita (it kinda gets in the way of everything, its hydraulic room makes the land a weird shape) and build a multi launch intamin terrain coaster, similar to Taron / icon aiming for a family thrill level (about the same as rita) weaving in and out of the paths. the station could be in a few spots, and the theme could be around the ruins similar to 13. I would also make the paths smaller and try to make it seem more forested
 
I have an idea for World of David Walliams retheme call it Altonville Street could link with the Towers being directly behind them would retheme Gangsta Granny keeping the stealing jewels story line just with unique characters and different story.

Reopen Slurp m Burp cafe possibly supplied by Costa.

Utilising the old Nicklodeon Outta Control for some sort of Flying Theatre or Flat Ride indoors.

Use the 4D Theatre as the Altonville museum presenting a look back the history of the Towers Ruins, Gardens and Rides.

Relocate Raj's to the front of the area near the current entrance portal to David Walliams.

Move the Carousel back to its original position.

The Dungeons Boat Ride would make use of all Altons Characters to tell a story of the Freaky Friends, Alton Bear, and every character. Passing through scenes of weird and wacky schnaigans. Call it Altonville Wacky Adventure

Retheme Cuckoo Cars Driving School to Altonville Drivers School

And where Twirling Toadstool was I would install a Zamperla Nebulz would fit well or Air Race.

And finally have an 2 entrance portals nearby leading to Project Horizon maybe with a Family Coaster and tracked ride to be along the path but not directly linked.

I know this is wishful thinking but this is what the area is crying out for

Never understood why they didn’t tie in Hex and Dark Forest. Forest is essentially about the nature taking over and just over the way they’ve got an entire ride dedicated to a cursed branch.

Seems a no brainer to link them especially as 13’s station is meant to look like the towers.

Because Merlin never think things through, plus 13 should have been built in Gloomy Wood but that's another story.

Where on earth would you put Th13teen there's no room in Gloomy Wood also it would be too tall and Corkscrew needed a replacement.

Also Fountain Square is in between Dark Forest and Hex quite a large area between where no rides can be placed

A ride does not an area make.

Can be theming and a transition from the Towers into the forest. Almost as if that’s the route the earl dragged the branch to the towers…..

They are two completely different stories to and different themes the May have similar aspects but they are different
 
Easily fit the two together

Old begger woman puts a curse on the earl. Using a tree in a forest

Dark disturbances in a forest.

If an old begger can put a curse on a family, she can supernaturally create havoc too

Always felt that fake Vekoma broomstick proposal for GW had a point for maybe a site for a Thirteen location. Granted it would be a hell of a tricky location to build in but if they make a narrow out and back layout (which honestly would be better than what we got on the actual Corkscrew site) then it could work.

Also, Duel/Curse would have been an excellent support ride thanks to its big throughput and that ride might have actually get more use. Also instead of theming a whole area for Dark Forest which honestly it looks like they spent little on it to begin with, they could have saved some money as it would already have a haunted wood theme.

There are many others who would say that Thirteen would have been better off in GW while Corkscrew could have lasted a little longer before being replaced by something actually good.
