... I'm not kidding.
Apparently in 2004, the park filed for planning permission to build both a hotel and a £20 million indoor waterpark. The waterpark was to be called Stormalong Bay (Probably carrying that Fisherman's Wharf theme) which would have featured 20 different slides and multiple pools. The waterpark itself would've featured a retractable roof that would open during the summer.
The waterpark would've been located where the caravan/camp-site currently is. An additional car park would've been installed along with a pathway connected the waterpark to a new entrance for the theme park. Outside the waterpark was a planned spa, 'floating restaurant', multiple lakes and a series of chalets.
The hotel planned right next to the waterpark would've been situated where the current hotel is, this hotel however would feature a cinema, a restaurant and an indoor pool. Apparently they did gain planning permission in 2004 and were supposed to begin construction in 2006.
The report for all this information is linked here, and here's an image of the supposed plans for the waterpark:

Now, I've never heard anything about this from anyone, and I've heard all sorts from a supposed mega-lite coaster to a petting zoo expansion. I had no idea this was a thing and can't find anymore information about this expansion. If anyone knows more about this or even just confirmation that this is legit because if this is true then my god, what happened? Imagine what the park would be like now if this opened in 2008/09? Just thinking about it is mad to me. Anyways, I'll leave this here so you guys can share your thoughts
