with the older version very much still in mind. In a recent interview with <a href=\"\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/uk\/sfx-magazine-new-issue\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">SFX<\/a>, it was

\u2018Do we change it so much that it becomes something different?\u2019,\u201d said Holman when talking about the pressures of bringing such a loved and classic design into the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if it\u2019s something modern and different, which has animatronics and all sorts of other things, will it have the same flavour as the originals?\u201d<\/p>\n<div
