Yeah Moby isn't too bad, I guess it could have gone opposite Jolly but it might have looked a bit lost with the metal fence and driveway behind it. But then I guess it wouldn't take much to stick a bush along there with some nice landscaping.

I can't see anything on facebook with regards to the positioning of it?

Confirmed that it is going on the old train station site, so assuming the train has been removed too or will be as we know the canopy went a few weeks back when I first noticed it had

What this area will become is the central hive of activity in the park. I'm not over the moon about the old station area going but in fairness what was it used for - not a lot. It was amazing when it was a restaurant though but those good ol' days are gone.

I just hope it's made to look good but I fear we have just gained a fairground ride and it will be plonked on the site - are we returning back to the tacky says with this. Prove me wrong please PWH.

I think this will be bigger than some of you think - not long to go !

The difference is these are bigger ones and the others are mini/kiddie ones.

I don't believe it will be 'plonked' I reckon it will be well themed and made to look permanent and fit in nicely. they're not stupid to fall back into bad habits, I also think being close to the maintenance yard will prevent it from being neglected unlike the other one. The only new rides they haven't themed has been Jolly and Pony trail which look very undeveloped for some reason.

But they'll have to move the train other wise it would look worse, be nice to know if that will remain somewhere on park (I hope so) or if it'll be removed completely.

I agree there is already a hive of activity around this aria and there are plenty of places need attention, I also like it when there's some space, landscaping to break it all up, hopefully there's enough gap between this and Moby for it not feel all squashed up. But as someone said it was all going to waste anyway, and the train was never used.

I don't know what they use Woody's Cabin for theses days bit at least it looks cool and does get use on occasions, I really wouldn't want to see that removed, maybe they could turn it into one of the glass mazes or something, I can't remember how big it is.

Things will change, in fact so much has changed over the years you can't keep the park exactly the same as it was when we were kids, in fact I think overall it's better than it was then, in 20 years time these kids will be saying the same lol Problem I really have is how some parts of the park are giving so much attention while others are treated like they don't matter. Now they need to pull up the mini dodgems and really develop they end of the park.

The park called them 'mini' maybe they're mini in comparison to the new hyper drive?

So going by the picture clues, these are old. Which to me would sort of confirm that there's nothing special about them.

Everything about this addition worries me. From the look, the location and 'what's the 'point'.

It's a shame because all of them concerns could have been eradicated if they were simply replacing the old ones.

It would be interesting if they used it as a queue lane....

It was confirmed on facebook.

Now, the idea of the train being a queue line is intriguing.. I kinda like that concept, at least it sounds alright.

Where is this confirmation that it's going on the station site?

It was confirmed on Facebook and I also saw it on the site myself yesterday yet closer to the path if that makes sense

That's why I said 'potentially' Bubbles.

And how can it be more towards the path coolskin? There must have only been about 20ft of platform in between the train and the path!lol

Yeah it's not exactly the biggest area.

They've said on FB that there going to show us the artists impression soon. Which makes me think they could be doing this properly. We'll see.

haha, that would be immense.

Iv just seen the artists impressions of the new ride on Facebook, It looks interesting! By the looks of it the train will be staying there and could be getting repainted?
