The issue with Merlin is cost. I know what when it comes to re-theming or renovating a ride, if the creative teams can’t justify the benefit of spending a little more on doing something, Merlin won’t do it.
The shells on the trains on Walking Dead for example. I know they wanted to replace them with newly shaped, themed cars, but couldn’t justify the extra cost over the repainting of the current ones. That’ll be the same with Wicker Mans terrain / landscaping. Why pay extra money to theme / stylise the foundations when there’s no discernible benefit in it other than visual and showing off.
