I laughed at the fact they put Charlie XCX as the headliner instead of Dua Lipa, let alone the shoddy photoshopping skills...

big news indeed! but welcome news regardless! The ride is getting on a bit now, i always thought due to its popularity the ride would never be removed but just retracked much like Hulk at islands of adventure.
If any extra theming elements were added that would be a massive bonus. AND BRING BACK THE BLOOD WATERFALLS! :D

That's a shame, essentially i think this will happen in the not too distant future.

2022 - My Dream Year:

- Nemesis Sub Terra Reborn
- New Live Show In The World Of David Walliams
- Cuckoo Cars Rethemed To The World Of David Walliams
- Interactive Walkthrough Attraction In Cbeebies Land (Nina's Science Lab Building)
- Events Yearly (Oktoberfest, Scarefest, Fireworks, Parkvibes-Type Summer Event?) - Mardi Gras Returns!

What Could They Prepare For Post-2022?

- Permanent Flat Ride Construction (2023)
- Nemesis Overhaul? (Closed During 2022?)

Any additions or changes?

Having been 3 years already since Wicker Man opened, and we usually get a coaster every 5 years or so? Would it be right to assume a new one may go into planning this year or next?

That’s usually the case, but COVID has got in the way and delayed all Merlin capex projects by varying timelines.

I'm surprised no one is talking about the public consultation news! Can we start speculating already? It seems like the right time for SW9. I'm sure it wont be a trackless dark ride as AT are already overhauling the Haunted House and although GG isnt trackless, it would be overkill imo. So my theory is that this is going to be part of the World of David Walliams, and the perfect fit would be a ride based on his SpaceBoy book. A cosmic rollercoaster adventure. Come on, we all miss the Black Hole!

I do hope that the project (whatever it is) gets green-lit. It's time for the park to start using space it had and not replace other attractions. I'd be welcome to seeing another rollercoaster in the dark, the black hole was always one of those entry level coasters i'd go on as a kid, which would build my confidence in tackling ones like nemesis and oblivion (this was a long time ago!)
