Lets start with expressing the fact we do actually love this area & rollercoaster a lot. This is by all means not shaming or slating the park at all. We\u2019ve got bigger visions of what this area could of been or at least could well be in the future. All these ideas are just from our thoughts and we definitely know nothing. <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I always feel this area has so much space to have a wider offering. There\u2019s a lot of land around the area which you can see whilst riding the sky ride actually. I\u2019m unsure as to whether that land can be touched or not. But let\u2019s say it can. That\u2019s a lot of space. Of course this is undoubtably possible but could you imagine if Dark Forest was home to Duel? How much would it suit the theme & area? A cute flat ride would suit the area perfectly too. Something spooky themed of course.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

The boundaries of the area could well benefit from been extended. There\u2019s so many cute spooky attractions nearby that aren\u2019t homed in any area. Therefore if you bring the Dark Forest entrance to the hill leading up to Hex. The two darker themed rides will have a actual home inside Dark Forest. But perhaps that\u2019s just us who would love to see this happen.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Rita once would of been IT before LSM were about that is. But now it feels almost as if it could be so much better, longer & offer more. It\u2019s good for what it is there\u2019s no denying that. But we would love to see it replaced for a like for like type so LSM but with the track layout a lot more complex and longer. Even direct interaction with Thirteen would be fab to see. Who wouldn\u2019t love to see a launch coaster intertwine with Thirteen throughout the woods? I would. Even some sort of inversion would be fab edition.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

I think Dark Forest is beautiful as it is. But just like anything there\u2019s always room for improvement & these are just our ideas. <\/span><\/p>\n

What improvements would you like to see happen amongst Dark Forest?<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
