Plan the next 10 years of Thorpe Park

If you had unlimited funds (a la sandbox mode) for thorpe park, what kinds of investment/attraction's would you want to see for the next 10 years of the park (2025-2035)

2025 - Flat Ride in Slammer's former site (already assumed to be happening, considering the remainder of slammer's removal at the end of the year)
2026 - I'd love to see amity beach transformed into a permanent social area, with lots of themed food stalls, bars, music, and more, similar to pergola in london but maintaining the beach vibe.
2028 - Rumba Rapids Overhaul, with new theming pieces, new water effects etc.
2029 - RMC Hybrid coaster behind swarm island (assuming its still a popular model)
2034 - large coaster on former site of TWD and Ghost Train (half dark ride half coaster) with some of each building being repurposed, rather than completely demolished.
 
I'd give Thorpe Park two or three fully rounded dark rides and ground up massively revamp/expand the barebones theming (while jettisoning naff IP like Angry Birds).
 
For me it's

2025:
*Large Intamin Gyro Swing on Slammer site themed to Fearless Valley
*Retheme and Relocation of Mr Monkey's Banana Ride to Big Easy Boulevard (next to Big Easy Bumpers)
*High Striker is removed
*Amity Beach and Depth Charge closes for redevelopment
*Retheme of Walking Dead the Ride to a haunted theme

2026: Transformation of Amity Beach and Event Marquee site to Ancient Egypt
*Intamin Flume on large beach site
*Gerstlauer Bobsled on large beach site
*Huss Top Spin Suspended (Ramases Revenge II on site of Events Marquee
*Bertazzon Musik Express on site of smaller beach
*Mack Twist N Splash on site of smaller beach
*Huss Airboat on site of smaller beach
*Flying Fish to get soft retheme to fit into new area theme
*Events Marquee to be relocated to within Thorpe Shark Hotel

2027:
*Zamperla Hawk on Mr Monkey's Banana Ride site
*Zierer Family Drop Towers on High Striker site
*New Rollercoaster on Island behind Swarm being announced for 2028

2028:
*165ft RMC Ibox Hybrid Coaster opens
*Thorpe Park Hotel and Water Park announced for 2030

2029:
*Zodiac replaced with Huss Enterprise G2 - New Zodiac
*Huss Condor G2 on site of Miss Hippo's Fungle Safari unused area
*Mack Gameplay Theatre on site of Trailers
*Rumba Rapids closes at end of season

2030:
*Hotel and Water Park opens
*Large Wooden Rollercoaster announced for Rumba Rapids site themed to the Jungle

2031:
*UK Record Breaking Wooden Rollercoaster by GCI opens on site of Rumba Rapids - 130ft similar to Wodan

2032:
*Flat Rides on site of Saw Alive and Tacotaria by Vortex

2033:
*Mack Water Coaster on site behind Rumba Rapids - currently a lake
*Three supporting family rides in area by Water Coaster

2034:
*Refurbishment or replacement of Samurai, Vortex and Quantum

2035:

This could change as ride technology evolves.
