Galactica's Future

[flyingguitar]

Does scream Galactica admittedly.
But this could still be project ocean linked, ocean being the key clue with all the blue merch etc. The flat could be linking the 2 together, touching on the potential galactica retheme.
See what the fireworks have in store anyway.

I feel it may be both, the fireworks may be themed as the phalanx expo (which may be why it is dated 2024) where they showcase some aliens (nemesis, project ocean, galactica etc)

Since these military geezers are having an Expo, they won't have a Monorail going spare afterwards will they? The one they got from Expo 86 is a little worse for wear.

It can't be a military expo, it's not at Excel in the Docklands.

The more I look at the new Phalanx Expo merch, the more it screams "Galactica retheme".

That is suspiciously space-y. Also giving me feels of Stark Expo (Iron Man 2)

Yeah, I do wonder if with Varney gone we'll see less shipping containers in future or has it become so physiologically stamped into Merlin by this point?

Speaking of which and a genuine question, when was the last time that Merlin built a new attraction that didn't have any shipping container added to it? (not including rethemed rides like Alton Manor). Was it Smiler maybe?

There was no bunting in forbidden valley so I feel this was a step forward.

In all fairness the valley was made up of shipping containers before the refurb no? They did demolish and erect down 2 buildings that are not actual shipping containers if I’m correct?

I wasn’t sure if Galactica would get a re-theme next season with all the cuts, monorail, refurbishment, and Hex. Along side the new flat ride in progress would there be much of a budget for next year if ground work is starting on horizon if believed? But if Galactica did it would be very welcomed and like everyone says a cohesive theme throughout moans from me and I wouldn’t want the theme to be too light as then it still wouldn’t go with the area. I actually don’t mind the whole area being a darker theme as its suits it very well in my opinion it’s a pretty cool and unique area.

I’m just not getting my hopes up as we did this with the beach at Thorpe from the posters.

As long as galactica gets a dark blue track repaint I’m happy, it would look so good

I hope you like your blue very dark. We're talking non-priest-socks here.

I assume all this fireworks branding was signed off a long time ago. We’ve heard rumours that the Galactica retheme has been scrapped for next year so perhaps this very Galactica looking branding was meant to be an announcement for this.
