I was thinking the other day I wonder how each of the UK parks will look in 10 years. It made me think a lot about the current line ups, what might change or leave & what we could get brand new? So I thought it would be rude to not share it with you guys too. Therefore let\u2019s have a chat & I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ride Removals:<\/span><\/h2>\n

I think there\u2019s a handful of rides & attractions that could be removed. The enviable is more or less Quantum. After riding it again this season I came to realise how exhausted it feels now. I love the flat ride & it\u2019ll forever break my heart to see leave. Yet I feel it\u2019s probably going to be leaving within the next couple of years. Another few rides I think we\u2019ll see leave is potentially Colossus, but with that, it also falls into another category in this post as well. I also think maybe Rush might see it\u2019s the day. I genuinely hope I\u2019m wrong when it comes down to Rush as I bloody adore that ride. But I\u2019ve had a gutted feeling all this season it doesn\u2019t have a long life span that I would hope it would have. Who knows though? I could be wrong or at least I hope I am. I do really believe though that Old Town will see an overhaul. I think that would include the current main circle of rides removed (excluding Samuari & Saw).\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Re-Themes \/ Refurbishments:<\/span><\/h2>\n

I feel as if we could see some changes come to Derren Browns Ghost Train over the next couple of seasons. The former layout & story almost feel like it could be a sore subject since this whole pandemic. The whole cover your face section makes me think we could see some sort of change to come. Again I don\u2019t know anything & could be wrong. I also think The Walking Dead:The Ride will receive a re-theme by time the next 10 years are up. I\u2019d love to believe it could return to a family based attraction again. Maybe that\u2019s the X love taking over my brain. I think if Colossus doesn\u2019t leave the park that potentially we\u2019ll see new trains & restraints eventually. If we do I can bet my last penny it would become a top quality coaster experience. An area I suspect to see changes are Angry Birds land. I\u2019m unsure on the license span regarding the IP however I do believe it\u2019ll be 10 years old in 2014. Therefore it\u2019ll be more than likely coming to the end of its days. Of course, as I mentioned above about Old Town, I believe it\u2019ll see a brand new overhaul & re-theme.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

New Additions:<\/span><\/h2>\n

An ideal new additions to the lineup, in my opinion, is a classic log flume, to replace Loggers Leap. Yet that\u2019s because I\u2019m a log flume enthusiast, therefore, I can\u2019t see it happening. I\u2019d love to believe we\u2019ll have a brand new rollercoaster within the next 10 years. It would be fab to see one built in the locations where Loggers currently stands SBNO or on the island next to The Swarm. I\u2019m unsure on the chances of that happening, the type of rollercoaster or if that\u2019s even possible for either spot I\u2019ve mentioned. I do believe we\u2019ll see a brand new proper hotel built with a boat to transport guest across the lake. I think it would shape Thorpe Park up beautifully. Of course, I\u2019d love to see them keep the cabins still as a more affordable option for families and guest. But a proper hotel with a restaurant & shop inside.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a rough idea of what I suspect Thorpe could look like in the next 10 years. What do you think? Let us know!\"\"<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
