So the 2014 season might have not ended just yet, but with just over 4 months until the 2015 season starts we seem to know very little about what Merlin have planned for their UK parks next year.
Alton Towers:
There have been rumors of a new CBeebies Land ride, most likely a childrens coaster and also rumors of Ripsaw moving to X-Sector. However neither have been confirmed by the park and no kind of marketing has started yet. CBeebies Land was started to be advertised before Scarefest last year, Smiler was advertised way before the season ended. Even Sub-Terra had marketing during October before it opened.
Thorpe Park:
So THORPE PARK resort have submitted plans for a 2016 dark ride, yet we have no clue what (if anything) they have planned for next year. They surely can't have another season with nothing of note to be installed? It wouldn't surprise me if they get another last minute addition once Merlin find some loose change to give the park.
Chessington:
They do have a countdown on their website for a new ride next year, however there is no mention of what it could possibly be. It might be another re-theme as dragon falls is due one. Or maybe a completely new ride?
LegoLand:
They did submit plans for that new haunted house sub-terra style ride, but that got refused by the council. I'm not sure if they have reapplied for that or if they just intend on having a quiet 2015, and maybe a bigger ride for 2016.
