[quote=""Squiggles""][quote=""Liam""]You can't all of a sudden give a ride it's own area sandwiched between two totally different themes. Well you can, but it's not professional.

Liam, Liam Liam, I think you're missing the entire ethos of the area, the very point at the centre of the whole concept. All you have to do is suspend your belief while walking along that rather long path which runs directly in between Mutiny Bay and The Flume: Unplugged by Imperial Leather. You know the path... the one where if you look one way you can see a bathtime themed water ride and if you look the other you can see a Medieval... I mean Pirate... theme and if you're very lucky you can even get a slight vibe of Mexico as well.
Kudos to the park really for giving it's guest the choice when walking along that path, it truly makes the area interactive as the guest gets to choose which theme they want to enjoy... feeling Piratey? No problem! Love... ummm... baths? We can do that too!!
I bet your one of these people who don't even put their fingers in their ears when walking along the Haunted Hollow so you can't hear the quacking from the Flume.

And Liam, two areas of differing themes in close proximity is very commonplace in theme parks - look at Thorpe, for example - one second you're in a 'Lost City' (whatever that is) and the next you're apparently in Canada! [/quote]
Yes, and that's what I hate most about Thorpe! It's awful. The only theme that is properly rounded off and tied down and not vague is Canada Creek.
Why on earth would you want such clashes to happen at the Towers, when as you say, they are lucky to have the space to have paths inbetween areas, which works perfectly.

I doubt the 'Flume' side of the Tavern and that facade will change much, so I don't even think it's quite a case of literally stepping from bathtubs to pirate land... you will have to go through into the Courtyard or round the Tavern building before you get 'inundated' (hopefully) with pirates.[/quote]
Ok, maybe not one step, maybe 10, or 20? An insignificant amount anyway.
Squiggles describes it perfectly.
