It's funny how most of the time, Merlin have to go through all of these financial stalemates, while the park try to get planning permission for new attractions, and in the end, the result is:
Warehouses
Cattlepens
Cheap theming elements (glares at Angry Birds Land and The Smiler )
...and more importantly...ENDLESS credit to Merlin for something that's HIDEOUS and SHOCKING to others!
