Rodeo Was a good ride when it was at chessington in the good days.Do you agree with its removal and do you think it will make a comeback?? Discuss the past and possible future of this great spinning ride.

I was quite shocked to see that there was no topic for the East Coasts finest fun fair/theme park. I go there every year and it is one of those theme parks that although there is nothing of major thrill...it is never really boring. The wooden rollercoaster is a real experience and I would recommend going there purely to try this out! Apparently they have added a new rollercoaster this year...a family spinning wild mouse although I have seen no photos or publicity of this...

Sorry if there is already a Pleasurewood hill's topic, I couldn't find one.So who has been here and what is your opinion of the theme park?I went once years and years ago and may be going again next month.Do the queues get as big as Thorpe park and Alton towers?Anyone been on Wipeout? it looks quite fun!

https://twitter.com/search?q=chessington&src=typd&f=realtime According to twitter theres a "major" fire at the park.

The Theme Park was only open 13 weeks and was owned by Nole Edmonds. Dont know much about it but would like to know more.

Discuss Brighton Pier...Today I took my brother on his first ride with an inversion - Turbo, its an ok ride but nothing interesting but it's WAY to expensive! what do you think of Brighton Pier and it's rides?

Chessington have submitted plans for a small log flume, taking place partially on Toadies site. Toadies will receive a slight rerouting and become shorter as a result. Both rides will receive a jungle sort of theme. https://www.southparks.co.uk/2019/10/08/chessington-world-of-adventures-resort-plans-new-mini-log-flume-and-re-theme-of-toadies-crazy-cars/ The log flume appears to be the same one that was at Weymouth Sealife. There had previously been rumours it would go to Chessington and be placed where Creepy Caves was, though that was like 2-3 years ago. Quite like the idea. A small log flume for young kids who can't do Tiger Rock is m…

Talk about Altons very own Swing ship.I think it is a good ride a lot better at the back.What does everyone else think?

Does anyone know where I can find some construction pictures for the Vampire?Cheers

There seems to be a massive lack of decent waterparks here in the UK. The only one I've ever been to here that was not basically a normal pool with a couple of flumes attached was called 'fantaseas' in Dartford. It was just amazing, a full continental style water park but mainly inside. As it closed sometime in the early 90's I don't expect anyone here to remember it, you'll have to take my word for it, it really was something else. The only other decent experience pools I've come across, although definitely not actual waterparks, are the domes at Centre Parcs. The one at Elveden especially is great fun with, the spectacularly rough and dangerous outdoor rapids the h…

Star Struck? well just head down to madame tussauds in London! Start your day by sneaking past the paparazzi and attend a photo shoot with Kate Moss. Then mingle with Brad, Angelina and all the other stars in your very own premiere party before taking your challenge in the Big Brother Diary room. And theres so much more...But wait! its not just London - Madame Tussauds New York, Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, Madame Tussauds Amsterdam, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong and Madame Tussauds Shanghai.

I know this ride is hated lol but might as well start a topic to vent your hatred or love for the ride. Plus for the first time in a few year both arms were working together in sync for an hour until one broke down midday according to Towers Street.

Discuss this Quacktastic Katanga Canyon ride here!I love it but personally prefer the rapids!

From TowersStreet Facebook today: Alton Towers have submitted plans for a FoodLoop style restaurant in Forbidden Valley, taking the place of the current Air shop. Does this suggest that a new large shop is likely to replace it in the near future...and therefore that a large new ride is imminent for the area? Link to plans Pretty cool, hey! Here's a short video of the Europa-Park one:

For the people who never saw vampire like this, or for people who want to remember it.. Last ever ride leaving.. and its final estop by rides staff, as filmed by Chessington Staff it seems

Thought I make a topic to discuss about the closed rides at chessingon. If you know the reason why they are shut please tell us why Dragons fury is closed. I think it going to be closed for a while because it need a new part so I you are planing a trip soon dragons fury still might be shut. I love dragons fury shame it is shut.

Topic for any random old pictures you might have of Chessington.I've just found a few from what must be 1994ish of me in a pram with my family. On ride photo from Dragons falls, pictures from truckers with railway in the background, bubbleworks.I will upload eventually lol

For those who have been there I have some questions -1)What is it like2)How well themed are the themed rooms3)Roughly, how much are the themed rooms4)How much are the discovery rooms

is the fast track system here the same as Thorpe park and is it worth it

Just a topic to talk about the zoo and do you think the zoo will expand in the future?

hi. so when you all go to chessington where do you eat?. and what do you think of the prices and the quality of the food (I'm gonna get a mod to do 1 of these threads for thorpe!) personally, I love eating at the chicken place in the forbidden kingdom- it's so tasty... I love that kind of chicken I also eat at burger king sometimes- though I strongly dissagree with chessington getting rid of mcdonalds.. I do prefer that

Has the SW7 secret just been released? Thanks to towerstimes

http://www.chessington.com/2015/ Well hello there...

I would love to hear your experiences of Black Hole at Alton Towers and why you think it went.

Does anyone know how to find the chained oak tree in Alton?I do. I went and found it last year.I was impressed by it's size. There is certainly some truth that the chains have been there since 1821.
