^ I think thats a good thing though and something Alton has lacked in the past, to have kiddy areas by the 'big rides' gives the kids something to do while everyone goes on Th13teen and Rita.

Also, remember these images a while ago?

Under the description for Th13teen it describes a Robo-arm as a tree having a mind of its own until you beg for mercy. Maybe we will be seeing a few Robo-arms next year in the dark forest? :)

From what I can gather from the Wild Asia tour we did in January, the Merlin parks, with the exception of Thorpe, plan to have a ride for everybody in all areas.

This is really news imo, just confirmation of what was already widely known.

Well.. an obvious change for the better. Ugland? Who was the retard who thought that up.

Nice to see the Corkscrews on the map :D

And I see Rita is Rita, and no colour change. The image also shows the same design on the trains :|

If they're going to go through the effort to change the 'station', you'd atleast think they'd do other bits to help her blend in...

The Rita cars look different. The track is the same, but the cars have a "spooky" repaint. Also it's lost "Queen of Speed". So now it probably makes even less sense :lol:

No. Why would they change it to lap-bars?
And it sucks. Rita: Queen of Speed wouldn't fit in the theme of the new area, but renaming it just Rita doesn't solve anything. :p
Still don't find what everyone finds so amazing about this new area.

Because it isn't UgLand? I'm sorry but that was the worst theme ever (well, probably not, but in Tussauds/Merlin terms it is). Whatever was going to happen Rita was always going to stick out (was a bad move from day one).

Yay for what could be a decent themed area I say!

I've always thought the area by Duel was darker and more forest-y, and the area by Rita/Hex was more gloomy and wood-y... :?

Cos it's better than Saw? :p

The castle part looked awesome in Feb as well... And from an area that was lacking in just about everything since Rita turned up...

Due to the fact it does not need over the head ones, it does nothing at all to need them.

I have not even looked at the area, I will do in a few weeks time :)

I just hated Ug Land so anything is better than that.
