I think I know why.

I quote from the article: "The first-ever Elmer theme park ride will open at Cheddington World of Adventures in 2020, headlining a full year of activity for the beloved storybook brand. "

Quite frankly, it's disappointing that Coasterforce has clearly missed this new theme park being developed and opened under our noses.

Looking forward to the 'worlds first' press release

Oh shut up Merlin... First you want to turn Chessington into a safari branded park, and now you want pop-culture stories? Go away management, you're drunk.

I think it’s quite apt and cute. Not exactly “wait outside from 6am on opening day to be first” exciting, but next time I’m Cheddington, I’ll at least take a look at it.

But it's an elephant? One everyone in the UK knows too.

Some concept art for Elmer below. A bit disappointing they aren't all Elmer, but imagine it would have been a nightmare to paint all the elephants like that!

All other theme parks right now:

Can't believe they're building an Elmer ride and only paying for one Elmer with everything else being an off-the-shelf elephant.

Well, I can believe it actually....

It's so typically Merlin that I can't even muster an eye roll at this point. Take an IP, because they can't have marketing have to actually work to drum up interest, and then... well I was going to say half-ass the implementation, but that would imply that at least some effort was put into this, and quite frankly this doesn't even have enough to qualify as that.

It's this entire attitude that's just killed my interest in the UK Merlin parks. This is why I've not visited any of them in nearly two years, and why, if it wasn't for the fact that there's a Live coming up at Alton, I'd be quite happy to continue to ignore the UK Merlin Parks for at least another year.

Wait, with the "Cheddington" and all, I thought this was about Elmer Fudd the whole time. Guess I should pay more attention to English literature.
