The Alton Towers Dungeon

Possibly. It's either the sub terra building or the towers themselvesTowers Times are reporting on Facebook that a patient has been filed for Alton Towers Dungeons by Merlin Operations limited....
Could this be an extension to the Sub Terra building perhaps?

I'm not too familiar with the dungeon's, do they all have a drop ride in?Doubt they would get planning permission in the towers to install drop ride mechanisms though given it is a listed building

Ok so it's surely got to be subterra then.I believe so yes
Couldn't they get away with not really changing much of it? (Just a few hundred cans of canned air)

My prediction:
It'll be a really short dungeon, using the Sub Terra buildings you'll go through the plot of doing something illegal, e.g. smuggling. You'll then be taken through a court room scene and finally "hung" in the drop ride section of the ride.
I don't think it'll be an up-charge, surely they wouldn't make us pay for something that short (though it is Merlin so I'm probably wrong.) Sea Life is one of their outside IP's and isn't an up-charge so maybe there's some hope.

Could be both. We got Sub-Terra and Ice Age in 2012.So is this going to be the 2019 project rather than the CCL retheme we were hoping for/speculating?
Or it could be for Scarefest

Would the dungeon's work as a maze?Could be both. We got Sub-Terra and Ice Age in 2012.

Most Dungeons have a drop ride, but not all of them. The London Dungeon even has a water ride...

I reckon that this will appear in the Towers, perhaps with the drop track tech repurposed in a building extension outside the perimiter of the building, ala Hex. Well, presuming they can ensure you board at the bottom and head up then down, rather than the reverse method introduced on N:ST?
Not keen, though, I have to say. I know Merlin are all about cross-brand pollination or whatever, but there's a Dungeon at Warwick, another in Blackpool, York, London... All easily within reach of Alton's central customer base. It's not like a Madame Tussauds existing in New York, then another in Shanghai.
