Howie said:Interesting theory. I'd go along with that if it wasn't for one thing: Judging by the appearance of the buildings so far, I'd say the theme of this thing will be anything but Victorian.
When I was there last week, it looked as though some of the exterior walls were being furnished with polished, metal slats - very angular, very modern looking, possibly even futuristic. Far more Dr Who-ish than Jack the Ripper-ish.
Basically, I still have no figgin' idea.
Nobody has said this will be family themed, nor have the park implied this will be a family ride.Alex23 said:Not quite sure the murder of prostitutes is a family theme.
If they are spending the rumoured 30-40 million I'd expect to see something more at this level

Simworx worked with Merlin on Shrek and Angry Birds 4D, it would enable them to have a decent length high throughput ride in a smallish area and it would explain why the station is raised up like on Forbidden Journey.
There is no way this is based on a long-cancelled adult TV show. Apart from anything else, if it is Jack The Ripper themed only a complete idiot would actually pay someone for a licence as it's public domain. If Merlin were to go down that route they'd surely use their own Dungeon branding.GuyWithAStick said:Did a quick google search, and found that "Whitechapel" was a British TV show back in '13 about a modern Jack the Ripper-style murder mystery. From what previous conversations say, it seems that Merlin loves out of date themes/IPs, so maybe we could be seeing a Jack the Ripper dark ride(in a sort)?
I'm probably wrong, but who knows? It's Merlin.

Steampunk themed ride probably. So a Victorian Steampunk theme would actually be a very viable option now.
