Myself, Ian and Jordan went to the press day today.
The ride area is quite nice and vibrant:
When you go down the main drop the tiger skull looks quite naff.
Worst thing about the re-theme is this though:
The new tiger enclosure is quite fab and if you're lucky you can spy a tiger!
Chessington's Mine Train and XNWO? I suspect I could go on...Damn it, in typical Merlin fashion, they've managed to take something else that was a bit worn but otherwise pretty decent, and make it worse. They've done it with Duel, they've done it with Dragon Falls, and I hate to think what's next.

FFS. Looking at the photos, what doesn't look bodged looks garish, and a lot of the atmosphere and character that the area had just seems to be gone. I don't know how best to describe it - it's almost as if the whole area is now a poor imitation of its supposed theme, rather than being anywhere close to immersive.
