This youtube account (Theme Park Predictions) regularly posts videos with their expectations (and wishes) for certain parks online. These are linked to all kinds of rumors, but in the end they never come true.
However, I hope that the video below is completely true.
For example, they now say that thanks to reliable sources they can report that 3 new B&M coasters will open in 3 English Merlin parks in the coming years.
The 1st of these 3 has already been (semi) confirmed as more or less the “junior launched shuttle wingcoaster” for Chessington.
The 2nd B&M would be a Hypercoaster for Thorpe Park, which would also immediately become the new highest coaster in the UK. This new coaster is supposed to replace the Loggers Leap flume, which was closed many years ago. Work had already been spotted in this area and the major work should really start at the beginning of next year, so that this track could open in 2024.
Well, Thorpe Park really needs a big new coaster, because Swarm is from 2012.
But we’ll see if this actually happens.
The 3rd and last coaster is also the most questionable. An as yet unknown model for Alton Towers at a location across the valley (between Forbidden Valley & Dark Forest). A surf coaster could very well be because AT is not allowed to build above the tree line.
But it’s the expected location, so I don’t expect it this way.
The opening of this track could also be in 2024, if all goes well.
