I feel that Oblivion is loosing it's magic!! It's way to short. Yeah it brakes at the top and goes into a hole vertically but compared to the new rides of today it is nothing. I would like to compare it with Project Dylan (2009 Thorpe Coaster). I would feel there would be no comparison!

Another Mack powered ride, and this is a great one! Its located in Mexicana sitting near the Rattlesnake, and personally I think its on of Chessingtons most enjoyable rides. Its like the Flying Fish, but with the theme of RMT, its really a completely different ride! (Now I'm starting to do random blabble )Discussion on one of Chessingtons better rides here!

Weee!! ;)We all love Dragons Fury!! (and if you don't, then I have a very large box with your name on it, and a 6 ft hole waiting for you )Discuss your adventures with this firey dragon, that's if it hasn't set you alight

So air is becoming Galactica It uses VR headsets *yawns* I would post screenshots but I can't on my phone <\3 can't believe they have still managed to call it a world first I tried to post links and somehow failed at that too :/ go check Alton Towers Twitter you lazy bums Sorry for multiple edits but also worth pointing out that wearing the headsets is optional!

Well this should be very interesting! And very good competition for Merlin http://news.sky.com/story/994756/paramount-park-plans-to-rival-disneyland-paris

Noticed the most recent thread for Tulley's was a 2015 one, so here is a new one to speculate ideas and rumours about the coming 2017 event.

So yeah, hopefully there isn't another Adventure Island topic lurking around somewhere, otherwise, I'm pretty dumb.Discuss Adventure Island here...

So as we all know Chessington have been a bit hammy on the rides front over the last 3 years however rumours are around that rides are to be added in Mexicana next to Runaway Train or where Rodeo used to lie. Other rumours doing the rounds are the removal of Safari Skyway and Runaway Train. What do we think?

Plans have been released for the new Safari Trail coming in 2013 to Chessington!Full plans here http://maps.kingston...008&strHeader=Y

We need some more alton topics, so here another one!Well when Rita was announced it got alton fanboys pretty excited. But since its opened, its recieved mixed reviews. Its like Marmite, you either Love it or you hate it . Rita has been criticised for its long queues followed by short ride times, but some people find it a great ride full of airtime and great turns.Launching from 0 - 60 mph in 2.4 seconds, it takes you on a journey through UG Land, with twists and turns everywhere, and 3 airtime hills in the center of the ride. Thunder Rock Rally Radio plays around the ride, which some people have critcised also for not fitting in with the UG Lands prehistoric theme, and th…

Well hello there! Chessington needs a new ride and a there little teaser video may just be able to show they will deliver it.. Video - https://www.facebook.com/Chessington/videos/vb.21321734034/10153395203604035/?type=2&theater Discuss little nerds..

There is a topic for Thorpe Park, but I couldn't see one for Chessington. Are you applying for a job?Having an interview?Attending/ed an Assesment Centre?Currently working?

I could not believe that Black Buccaneer was not on the Chessington & Zoo section but now it is! :)I rode this in the middle after not riding in ages and to be honest; I felt a bit sick after it and was quite happy to get off of it!Then again, the operator did give us two rides, so if it was just one, I probably would have been fine! :PAnyway...Any stories to tell about Black Buccaneer?Any thoughts?Yea... You get the picture!

So Zufari is down on the Chessington website to be opening on the 20th March 2013. Here's the picture on the website: Do you reckon it will open before this date on the annual pass preview days? Could this date be the one for the website as it will be the first time the general public will get to go on it rather than advertise it being open for Passholder day?

I can't seem to find a topic on Flamingo land (yorkshire), so I thought I would start one.Has anybody been?It looks quite good and they have a new coaster opening july this year!

Seeing as a lot of the conversation on the new for 2017 ride, The Gruffalo appears to be taking over the Bubbleworks topic, would make sense to start a new one specifically for it here. Discuss anything and everything related to The Gruffalo.

The Phalanx Control research centre is now open! Do you dare to explore what lies under the depths of forbidden valley?Please use Spoilers in all posts made about the nature of the ride.Discuss!

The scene at Margate today. Another classic coaster is taken away from us http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kol08/article/...rticle_id=39861

Discuss what will be the newest ride at Chessington & Zoo here!Kobra! :)Kobra will be located in Wild Asia.

there have been alot of rumours flying around that The Vampire ride is soon to be leaving Chessington WOA.now this topic is open, hopefully we should be able to get to the bottom of the rumours and find out the truth...........

ok, first topic to be posted in 'Alton's Future'!do alton towers need to do anyhting to still be the top theme park in the UK, as alot of people believe that thorpe park should now hold the title of no.1what could alton towers do to stay at no.1 ?

Plans online... http://publicaccess.staffsmoorlands.gov.uk/publicaccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_detailview.aspx?keyval=MRVOO7PGA8000&searchtype=PROPERTY&module=P3 Not exactly clear if it's getting the rumoured IP brand attached or just getting a massive refurb, but the big thing is the removal of the Tent and a new Marquee in place... Couple more bits of theming added as well to the existing rides, but nothing actually new ride wise being added... Still looking at the plans though... EDIT - Further reading Things to be removed are the Tent and Dung Heap, to be replaced by a new ents stage and assorted play equipment... Defe…

Air first opened in 2002 (That WAS air right), and during construction known as SW5. It was the first B&M Flying Coaster ever built, and was recieved as either a slow or boring ride, or just pure brilliance. It may look Slow and boring (due to height and noise restriction), but looks can be very decieving... apparently. Discuss it, Hate it, Love it...

Do you think theres anything laking with the staff at Chessington? Do you prefer them to Thorpes, or do you think they need improving?Youll be with them a lot of the time in your day at Chessie, so what do you think about them?

Hex is a fantastic ride - on of my favourites at Alton Towers!As we know, Hex came about during the restoration of the towers. The bookcase was removed to reveal a doorway behind it, after unbricking it, the secret vault with the branch of the oak tree was stored in there.I'm a little confused - was this bookcase in the Octagon, and if so, was it where the steps are where you go up to the ride? e.g "behind" the central column of the Octagon when moving forward through Hex.Also, is that the branch tree in the middle of the Hex ride? I touched it briefly as we left. It felt real. It looks a little dusty yet I'm sure it's been treated to preserve it for the ride, after nearl…
