I still by my thoughts it will either be a spinning coaster to go along with the other 2 Dragons Fury and Sonic Spinball, or it will be a ride like Inferno at Terra Mitica or finally a launched Flying Coaster.

If its family route they are going down the spinning coaster is not a bad investment, throughput is horrible, but you can make some unique elements, I.e. John Wardley's tilting section, or launch Spinning Coaster, or a little more extreme have a ride like Inferno, on a bigger/better scale.

    Coasters are prizes each company has a FB page/group that theme parks join, then the company (e.g. GCI) says for example "we will be building 3 woodies in the UK before 2018, *tag UK parks* first thr

    How about they just build a ride that is quality, no stupid gimmicks, just an attempt to create a ride that creates fun and enjoyment that essentially advertises itself by being a quality attraction..

Thorpe would not get a Doctor Who themed ride. I doubt any merlin park would as that is the BBC's flagship. If you messed it up in the smallest detail then both BBC and merlin would come off looking bad. Personally I dont think its a risk that they are willing to take.

Haha, after the quality of Angry Birds Land I don't think the BBC would go anywhere near Thorpe! :lol:

    Never understand why spinning coasters are considered family rides. They leave me nauseous and aching. Not that I don't appreciate Dragon's Fury - but I would rather ride Saw or The Smiler back to back.

    Dr Who Experience would be great but I doubt would have a coaster attached. Be more like the Cardiff experience walkthrough with maybe a Charlie like section as part of it.

    I hear good things about the Dragon Coaster at legoland as a combo dark and family ride.

    Despite me saying it would be highly unlikely it would be doctor who it turns out it may actually be A DW themed ride. I'm lead to believe that currently the plans are for a £20million dark ride on the arena site opening 2016 with a BBC IP. Would take that with a pinch of salt mind you as that did come from an engineer on backstage tour of saw, however I have heard others say similar things.

    Although the Arena does sit empty 90% of the year. And 2016 is a large investment year (doesn't have to be a coaster to be large!). Not too sure on the Doctor Who rumour as I've heard some saying that might be a Towers thing etc but it is likely to be a BBC thing. Just saying. (I've also heard that you may want to think larger than £20 million, although that is 100% pure speculation but you never know)
