I’m not sure where this rumour originally came from, but the talk is that Wild Mouse could be leaving the park at the end of the season to be replaced by river rapids!

Wild Mouse’s footprint isn’t huge, far too small for a good rapids ride at least so if anything, it could only really be replaced by one of those travelling stlye rapids rides that always look terrible. The only way around it would be to extend the ride into the holiday village, which I can’t see happening.

Another reason I can’t see this one happening is because Wild Mouse was only refurbished in the closed season, has been repainted and has received some new theming. Why would the park bother doing that if they thought it could be leaving?

I think chances of this rumour becoming a reality are slim to none, although I would like to see a rapids ride somewhere in the park in the future. Only if it was to be a highly themed ride though.
