With that 5 year plan they state that a ride could be moving could it be the Flying Dutchman.

I’d have thought they’d move it into AC, but with the Wave Swinger there now I think it’ll be removed completely for a new flat when/if they retheme that area for the new coasterWith that 5 year plan they state that a ride could be moving could it be the Flying Dutchman
I'm not so sure they'll remove it anytime soon, I could see if being moved but they keep it in nice condition with the ride and boats re-painted fairly frequently and it seems to have very little downtime for such an old ride.I’d have thought they’d move it into AC, but with the Wave Swinger there now I think it’ll be removed completely for a new flat when/if they retheme that area for the new coaster
I imagine it wouldn't be too hard for them to re-theme, they could just change the boats to viking boats and come up with a complicated name and job done.I can see it joining the Viking line up and going on some of that unused area. Then a new thrill flat flat maybe another sit down drop tower going on that site.
I think the only way it’s staying if it’s the ride that’s listed to be relocated in 2025 as currently they can re theme Accelerator but really the Flying Dutchman can really only go into 2 areas of the park with a minimum re theme needed Vikings or Pirate Cove if the looping group want to keep the pirate theme.FD is the only one of its kind left operating ANYWHERE in the world. Drayton Manor should not only keep it, but as it is the last one, keep it in its original style. Ie, do not retheme as Vikings.
While I understand where you are coming from at the end of the day it's a fairground ride, not a Giant Panda.FD is the only one of its kind left operating ANYWHERE in the world.

Nope, I am not saying that. But the cultural, historical and aesthetic value of the Flying Dutchman isn't in the same ball park.So? In that case, Blackpool Pleasure Beach should just rip down all their century old woodies right?
