I believe the only plan that was ever released was this one:
This looked to be more of a Hollywood dream than a Shambhala.
Rather have Hyperia any day.

I’m curious if they can do anything with that island they built. 
They have all this unused land sitting there, does anybody know any reason they haven’t developed over in that direction?

Yeah! They left a few boulders on it a few years back to see how the land has settled and to see if there'd be any sinking. I guess the land still wasn't settled enough to deal with a large installation?
Maybe once the dust has settled after Hyperia, there'll have been enough time for the land to settle enough to use it for something.

That area was earmarked for a coaster upto 40m in height in the last MTDP and 2 potential flat ride locations.
Interestingly Old town wasn’t even referenced back then as a potential site for the next coaster.
Clearly for some reason after that MTDP was released focus was switched from building on that island to redeveloping Old Town.
I would say that island will definitely be the site of the next coaster though.

Don't forget this plan dates from 2010, so before the Swarm opened, before the Shark cabins were added on the alt coaster 2 site in lieu of a proper hotel on the mainland, and before the initial plans for a 40m ride on the back island were scrapped in favour of Ghost Train. It's been over a decade since those plans were drawn up, so I think it's natural that the park's priorities have changed. I hope you're right about the next big ride being on that island though, The Swarm and Stealth have been awkward disconnected dead ends for way too long.That area was earmarked for a coaster upto 40m in height in the last MTDP and 2 potential flat ride locations.

Final post from me for the evening. The white blends nicely against the dark sky, even with no lighting:
Be interesting to see if they do do any sort of lighting package, especially for the lift hill

Hyperia is looking absolutely stunning riding up. I personally don’t think the transition between the two colours is too jarring.

I saw the cranes on Tuesday from the M25 and thought I'm definitley getting a Merlin pass for next year and will get "stuck in traffic" on the way back up North from my monthly work trips to Aldershot!It's now visible from my daily commute along the M3, I'll need to summon all of my self control to keep my eyes on the road

Although it does look a bit odd I think it's supposed to be like that? At least that's how it looks in the name reveal video...
