The other day I had a chat with Ant about River Caves and we both had a geeky moment of sharing ideas of what we\u2019d love to see happen. By all means these are all opinions & things I\u2019d love to see happen and definitely not facts and I\u2019m not even sure if all these ideas are doable. But why not share them with you guys? I hope this post is enjoyable to read. I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts on this too & your ideas!<\/span><\/p>\n

Pleasure Beach Through The Years:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Maybe this is a completely mad idea. But how lovely would it be to see this ride turned into a history type of ride of Pleasure Beach. Each scene another step to how Pleasure Beach ended up how it is today. Small or large ride models of the rides throughout the years up to \u00a0the latest edition of course Icon.\u00a0 <\/span>The finale could be Icons cherry blossom trees and a model of Icon perhaps even a few hints to the future. As someone who treasures the history of the park I\u2019d love to see this happen but highly unsure how realistic it is. Perhaps I\u2019m just a geek in all of this haha. \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Simple Refurbishment:<\/span><\/h2>\n

By simple I just mean keeping the current theme but making it more modern. So new or updated versions of their animatronics & props. The rooms receiving TLC across the walls and floors as they are in need of some form of care. The lighting seemed to be better at the start of this season.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Similar To Bubbleworks\/Toyland Tours:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Who wouldn\u2019t love to see something similar to both of the above themes? It seems the majority of us have a soft spot for these kind of themes. I loved bubbleworks the entire uplifting feel and happy vibes gave off. I feel a new facade and theme would bring so much life into the surrounding area & ride itself. It doesn\u2019t have to be anything too fancy but just something fun.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s just some ideas we\u2019ve discussed amongst ourselves. I\u2019m not saying any of which is realistic or doable but just some thoughts & ideas. I hope you guys have enjoyed reading this post and I\u2019d love to hear your ideas! <\/span><\/p>\n
