Is there anything known about what that was supposed to be? Would be ironic if it was similar to the Peter Rabbit one.
 
I asked the people running the b and b last weekend if they had any idea and they reckoned it was a Shrek adventure thing like in London.

A gruffalo one surely wouldn't make any sense as its target audience must be the same age range as Peter Rabbit.
 
Shrek would be a decent addition, which complemented the other offerings. Or are there any other Dreamworks IPs which might fit?

That's exactly why it does make sense, as it means people will pay for multiple attractions or get a combi ticket ala the midways in London, Birmingham and Manchester. Plus the theming is already half made from when they were going to put it into the Peter Rabbit unit, so it makes sense from a cost perspective rather than starting from scratch with a new theme.

I went on the Gruffalo water ride at Chessington last week and I was rather pleasantly surprised! It's quite decent. I've not had reason to try it before but I now have a toddler niece and she loved it.
