As the title states, this is all about my speculations & opinions on what I think could well be next. It has been a hot moment since Icon blessed the UK lineup with its arrival. As much as I struggle to ride the older I get due to finding a tad too sickly for me. There\u2019s no denying it is a damn good coaster regardless of the launch sections. But where & what could the next rollercoaster be to open here? Let\u2019s have a chat shall we?\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Browsing through my drafts and come across a little Impossible chat blog. That inspired this posts. As I reckon the next Rollercoaster is more than likely going to sit in this space and across the FY4 area. It just feels like the only place in my mind I could see the next rollercoaster to go unless they remove Steeplechase but that\u2019s not a great ordeal of room to work with. I think we\u2019ll see Impossible, the food shipping containers, the arcade & planet rock all get flattened & groundwork begins there.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

As for the coaster itself, I\u2019d love to see a GCI or something comparable. Blackpool Pleasure Beach are so well known for its woodies so can you visualise adding a fresh one to the mix? It would be epic. They would also up those numbers again with the Wild Mouse retiring a few years ago. Although I do feel that space could limit the amount of room a woodie could have. Therefore, on a more perhaps unrealistic side of my brain, I can\u2019t help but think that a sleek slim space could be fab for a Dive Coaster. Potentially aiming to gain back the record for height from Thorpe Park assuming Project Exodus gets the go-ahead?\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

I mean really who knows? (Yes, I know those who are probably planning will\u2026) But it\u2019s always fun to sit & have a little assumption as one day this will be reevaluated and we\u2019ll either laugh at how naive I was or think I\u2019m a fortune teller (never going to happen I know). But that\u2019s some of my feelings on the matter & I\u2019d love to spark off the conversation amongst you guys too.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014-<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what do you reckon will be next & where? Oh & when? What timeframe do you think there is until the next big thing?<\/span><\/p>\n
