The World of David Walliams: General Discussion

[s_g_k]

Not sure if it’s always been the case because I’ve never looked before, but all rides in TWoDW are now referenced to be located in “The Towers” on the AT website, just like Hex.

I'd rather they flattened everything except Charlie building and started again.

To be honest, I agree.

I think something akin to the coming Minecraft land at Chessington, which has completely flattened Wild Asia, would be a good thing for that area at this point. As much as Gangsta Granny is fun enough, it’s years since anything genuinely attention grabbing was built in that part of the park, and the buildings up there are so old that I almost wonder if demolishing it all and starting again might be a good idea.

It may actually just be better closing the area off completely. I could see them doing it as part of the whole cost cutting by Merlin. Move the Carousel somewhere else, maybe near CBBs land.

Wasn't there rumours that some of the buildings (im thinking the theatre?) were condemned? Or did I imagine that?

 

[Fammy]

I mean it wouldn’t hurt moving the ride to Fountain Square nearer to Hex

Wouldn’t shock me if they de-IP’d the area and closed Gangsta granny (all the other rides could be quickly made generic.

Wait and see I guess.

Should have been a Minecraft retheme back when it was rumoured and before it was announced for Chessington. Said it at the time and stand by it to this day.

If World of David Walliams was to go then they'd need another IP / Original themed land to fill in the age gap of cbeebies and the thrill areas of the park.

Project Horizon could have been a Minecraft coaster. Gangster granny changed into a Minecraft dark ride and the 4D cinema reopened with a film around the Minecraft Movie.

Think that would have been a much better decision than sending it to Chessington personally.

 

[Dave]

I still think they should do a mini Legoland but I doubt they will want to cross pollinate that IP.

 

[AltonLover123]

I would say it needs a retheme but try and keep and use the buildings quite like the shape of the buildings next to each other just require a different coat of paint and more detail

The problem is these buildings have repeatedly been painted over and over wit each retheme and the insides are for the most part pretty much unusable for attractions anymore. They really need to demolish and start again.

Wouldn’t shock me if they de-IP’d the area and closed Gangsta granny (all the other rides could be quickly made generic.

Wait and see I guess.

Gangsta Granny could easily be made pretty generic. They’d need to redo some of the audio and Walliams specific characters but a Crown Jewels heist is generic.

Could be a perfect area for the new VP Howard Ebison to get his hands dirty with and show what he's worth

Pretty sure park capital investment is managed centrally now, I’m sure the VP’s have some input but the decision making is centralised.
