I didn't create the image, there is no Where the wonders never cease logo on Google.

I must say the current logo with The Smiler theme is my personal favourite. It really suits it.

Thanks for the photo of an old park map. It is amazing how many lands have no goen, such as Thunder Valley

In my opinion, without question this is best logo they ever had. It says everything about the park just looking at it. It was also my favourite time for the park as well.

The logo itself looks like its bursting with fun and magic, the tag line "where the magic never ends" sums what towers was all about back then, having the parents company name "Tussauds" above it which is such a well known British brand and kinda works like "Disney's Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios etc. Then to top it off the whole thing is put inside a glass bubble.  It's kind of like a metaphor for when people say they're in a "bubble" - nothing exists outside once you're in that bubble, it becomes your world and is total escapism.

That logo was also nicely animated at the end of all their adverts around that time.

Here's a clearer version, just missing the tag line:
