I agree. It will probably be in the zoo car parkMoved to Other Developments area as this isn't about a specific ride
I reckon it will expand past James & Submarine splash out that side if anywhere.

I disagree. I think they will dig down and down.
Apocalypse replacement will be a drop tower where you just board at the top and drop down to the bottom. Then there is a genuine mine cart ride which zooms about but there will be steam coming out which comes up through grills in the main park.
You heard it here first.

Thomas land on the expansion side will not be made any bigger but can see them adding a new expansion for 2028 for Thomas land 20th.
With the amount of downtime the Thomas land rides have had this year can maybe see 1 or 2 been up graded to a newer model or even a different ride.

Well it will av an expansion if they renew the contract in 2027
Time will tell the answer to that one. If there is, it will be an AEG expansion.

Yes like an AEG section to the park

I talked to Sir Topham Hat yesterday, had a very nice chat with him as I was the only one who wanted a picture so we went and sat on the bench together )) He said that gradually all the rides in Thomas Land will be closed one by one and turned into AEG themed. Hope that answers any questions.

That's impossible as it's financial suaside and there's most characters in thomas land what's not in AEG so it is impossible and they would get 1000s of hate for it too. It has to be an expansion

I also just told my son and he's burst into tears saying "why are they doing this I hate them"
Nothing is confirmed until the park itself says / starts to do the changes. (Official announcement and whatnot)
If they are having to do these changes, it would be contract based. Mattel more than Drayton. (IP stuff has to remain on brand. The current brand is AEG)

I know Sir Topham personally, so I got to ask him loads of questions
He said, Drayton doesn’t want to do this but they have to do what they have to do if Mattel tells them to do that: or else they will then lose the ip to Thomas.
So that’s what we have too choose, No Thomas Land or AEG Thomas??
Eventually apparently the ride on Thomas Train will be AEG. Which I am not excited for at all.

It could be that if they want to renew the license in 2028 they may have to keep the IP fresh and up to date.

Yes but just how much do you think they tell the actors that work there about their plans?
