Re: New 'unknown' Merlin Attraction for County Hall London
Was going to suggest maybe the Earth Explorer brand which Merlin managed in Belgium, till I remembered its been sold off.
Looks like a BBC-led IP based attraction such as a Doctor Who live experience is the most likely scenario.

Or, if this trademark is to be believed, it could be "Shakespeare's England"...

Here's a logo courtesy of the OHIM database.
It's in use on the website http://shakespeares-england.co.uk/, which is operated by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Presumably Merlin are involved in this campaign.

Given this website is already used to advertise Warwickshire I don't expect this to be the new attraction. Maybe Merlin got the trademark as something to do with Warwick Castle paying for the website to advertise Warwickshire?

Re: New 'unknown' Merlin Attraction for County Hall London
So "the wonder world of Merlin" could still be on. A attaction where you pay to get into a multimedia advert for all merlins attactions outside central london.
Enjoy obilivion / saw/ th13teen in the multi-motion simulator, or take a stroll though Wardley's land, an area deicated to the retire genius of merlin.
and final area is a interactive maze call 'upsellers revenge'. where you have to get thought without being stopped by an upseller.

I think Doctor Who sounds most promising. Although why the BBC would out-source it to Merlin I do not know. Cbeebies land I can understand as it is being built in a Merlin park, but there is nothing stopping BBC Worldwide running this.
I wonder if the lifts at CATCF will be out of order this season, and it will be just a boat ride as the technology is been moved to London, to generate the illusion of been inside a giant Tardis
Joking aside, I do wonder if it will be a similar technology, but only on a larger scale?

I doubt they'd make it too realistic though, or it would be impossible to actually win the game

Re: New 'unknown' Merlin Attraction for County Hall London
I noticed something interesting on one of the planning documents. Take a look at the document name on this document here, in the bottom right hand corner. It suggests the project is titled "Project Ogre".
Putting two-and-two-together, could this be a Shrek-themed attraction, given that the external theming is going to be green?

Project Ogre certainly screams 'Shrek'. I hope it's not the case, as I don't feel the franchise is particularly relevant anymore.

It says on the diagram "Final Colour reference to be confirmed".
Green is used a lot in diagrams because it's the most calming colour to look at - hence green rooms were places to go for actors and such before and between performances.

sounds like the green colouring was indicating what it will be!

Re: New 'unknown' Merlin Attraction for County Hall London
Merlin are just taking the piss now aren't they? Why else would they add an attraction with such a bland thoughtless IP that will add nothing new or interesting to the County Hall attraction hub?
Stupid company, stupid decisions...
