It closed in about 2016ish and then got changed to the George and the dragon and then it got changed in to the castle bar and then it had a special name during the coronation event

I never knew there used to be theming between Excali-bar and The old Animatronic show building. It shows the quality and theming consistency of Farmer Studios though! Credit goes to Drayton Talk on Twitter

When you think about it Excalibur was another Disney rip off, with Merlin and stuff. Surprised they weren’t sued with all the disney rides like Pirate Adventure

not particularly as Excalibur's concept and story was written at farmer studios and none of the sets or theming resembles a copy, i don't see how it has anything to do with Disney?

I mean like Merlin.

Well, a Member of Farmer Studios did all the concepts and Writing and Story for Excalibur. His name is Graham Edward, who is now an author and does lots of Medievil and Fantasy novels. He's also got his own website below. He even worked on Nemesis Sub-Terra as he says in his website, along with a page dedicated to Exalibur.

A medieval and castle theme?!?! In the center of England, of all places? Well I never!

Also you could not get sued for using a Pirate theme. Disney did not invent or crate Pirates.

I wouldn't be against them filling more of this lake in and using it as ground for a ride. They have already filled part of the lake in, upto what was the waterfalls. So no attraction could ever follow the old Excalibur route now due to some of it being land.

Askong as they kept the stream running though, they could get away with filling some, but not all of this lake in.

Back door of the reptile house was open with the mesh gate over it, looking through you could see some of the old Excalibur pieces are still on the lake (top right of the image)
