Beyond the headline coasters, there is a significant focus on the Resort Hotels and the Enchanted Village, ensuring that the accommodation offerings match the quality of the theme park itself. Rumours continue to swirl regarding 'Project Ocean' and other future developments tucked away in the woodland areas, suggesting that the creative team at Merlin Magic Making is far from finished with the Staffordshire site.
