If it's Top Gear will it have an authentic punch at the ride exit?

^ Bang on! Apparently you get racial slurs shouted at you too, can't wait! 

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo...... smack!

Tbh I hope they do use screens. Rides like superman and transformers at Universal are the best dark rides I have been on and need a ride like them in the UK and I think even Europe

We've got Ratatouille which is a pretty awesome dark ride by anyones standards (even if US Disney fans aren't big fans). I welcome our screen based overlords.

What's with the hate for Doctor Who?

 

Also, screen based rides can work amazingly, as Mark has already pointed out, Ratatouille is a fantastic example of this, purely because of the quality put into said screen work...

 

Of course, we could end up with Wonder Mountain Guardian, which is the opposite end of that spectrum in general screen based dark ride quality...

I personally love Doctor Who, and my 9 year old son adores it. This would be a great addition for the park and would certainly help draw the family element into the park. It's pretty much one of the biggest IPs they could get. Still, a bit early to speculate what it is I suppose.

With all due respect to the people that like it, personally I find it to be a really really stupid show. Sorry. I wanted something either fantasy or horror inspired. 

Whats to say its a Merlin Magic creation like the Smiler hmmm.

The amount of Arrested development gifs on this forum atm is really really pleasing me.

Not a massive Ratatouille fan. It's good but not astounding due to the fact you feel detached from many of the screens.

However, a 3D ride like Transformers - yes please.

I'm the same way as you. Really hate Dr Who... Sure some people will love it but can Thorpe pull it off. I'm hoping for horror or original theme aswell.

I think if we got something similar to Forbidden Journey at Universal, we could be on to a winner. The contrast between screens and sets is remarkable. 

honestly the font kinda reminds me of the black mirror logo.

 

defs wouldnt happen but still, just an observation.

As much as I would like a Hunger Games ride, I don't think it would really work due to the storyline. However, I think a ride based on the Divergent Trilogy could. After recently watching (most) of the film, I think the concept of the trains travelling around Chicago (a big part of the film, unlike the HG's trains) would be a good way to transport riders. I know that Alleigiant Part One will come out in 2016, so the franchise won't even be finished by the ride's opening and its not on the same scale of popularity to The Hunger Games, but I could see a Divergent Trilogy ride working.

IP Quality =/= Ride Quality. Though I guess Saw and Angry Birds do correlate so maybe we are doomed.

 

Personally I would go with the Mrs Featherbottom IP

A banana stand IP, real fire and money in the walls

The film has a massive long zip line doesn't it?  That would make a good ride.

Yeah Thorpe don't want guests spiralling into depression after getting off the ride.

That didn't stop them from putting Storm Surge in. 

I would quite like to see a Mad House put in there. It would be family friendly, and with a pre show could prove to be better than Hex.

I know a dark ride will be a very great addition to the park and something that has been needed since Witches burned down but only if they do it well. Personally as someone who is 18, thrill lover and doesn't go with family I wanted a new coaster haha. Don't get me wrong though if they can make the dark ride like the quality of Transformers at Universal It will be amazing as transformers is one of my faves. But I really did want a good RMC or traditional wooden coaster around Canada Creek using the BWP and old train station and the start finish point.

Hardly accurate seeing as the boats don't even spin these days!
