John Wardley to Work with B&M Once Again

A podcast has been released in the last few days from The Season Pass which has a long interview with John Wardley. He talks about his past and how he developed Chessington etc and then goes on to talk about the future. In his interview he makes the following statements:
"When I spoke to B&M last week..." - Suggesting he is working closely with them again for new rides.

"And we are now working with B&M on their next new product..." - Which again is confirming his work with them.

He also adds about the future of Merlin's rides and states:
"Merlin are looking in to this type of attraction..." - Referring to Spiderman

His website has now been updated to state:
"His current projects include the creation of a major new ride for Alton Towers for 2010, Heide Park, Gardaland and Thorpe Park as well as acting as consultant to Merlin Entertainments for the development of their other attractions." - Could this mean that Thorpe Park, Heide Park or Gardaland could be in for a B&M? What ever the case, they are all due to be large scale attractions. John also states his commitment to these attractions in the interview.

If anyone wants to hear the interview, it is provided below. I definately recommend any enthusiast to listen as it is very interesting.

Isn't Merlin now in process of owning the Busch Parks? If so, is anything mentioned about them in the podcast?

Blackstone now owns all Busch parks.

Isn't Merlin the amusment division of Blackstone? I heard it was from somewhere...

^Yes. I was just saying that it's done with now. Not still in the process [:)]
