UK Attractions

We know about your Thorpe ones, but what about Chessington?For me, always head to Toomb blaster firstAlways dance around in the Bubbleworks station to the music (as it's so good)Do Transalvania lastAlways eat at Burger kingAlways ride Peaking Heights (and avoid dragon falls!)Have 2 goes on Fury (and scream!)Put my hands up when ever I am on Billy's wizzer (oh I'm going to miss that!)So now what about yours

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?

What do people think on Alton Towers' Powered rollercoaster in Katanga Canyon, Runaway Mine Train! I've noticed that this ride has been getting increasingly popular recently, on my last 2 visits the queue has been out the entrance! It's definitely a winner against other Powered UK coasters, Runaway Train, Flying Fish and Buffalo Coaster are all pretty pathetic in comparison, and this ride is great for young children and thrillseekers alike!Also, I adore the theming! 8.5/10

heyI might be going to chessington some time soon and I was wondering a couple of things:1)how does the pass work????2)if you dont go often is it worth paying the money for an ultimate???thanks for the help

I went here on Monday and I highly recomend this attraction. Just under London Bridge this attraction is 2 things in 1. A interactive museum and A Fright maze, I personly enjoyed both parts of the attarction. Have you been or do you want to go.

Chessington Carousel is not like any Carousel you see at a fun fair.It shows the history of the past rides that were / changed at Chessington & Zoo.Example: The following rides are on there from Chessington's history...Professor Burp's BubbleworksTerror TombVampire. (With the older style trains).And others! :(Discuss Chessington's Carousel here!..

Flying Jumbos is located in Toytown.I personally find the audio really cheesey but in a good way! :(Flying Jumbos is a great ride for the kids and for the big kids too! Discuss Flying Jumbos here!..

Peeking Heights is located in Mystic East at Chessington & Zoo.Peeking Heights used to be loacated at THORPE PARK which was called Eclipse.This was Eclipse at Thorpe Park (before located to Chessie).Peeking Heights which currently is a Chessington looks like this...Peeking Heights suits Chessington & Zoo alot more imo due to Chessington's target audience.Discuss Peeking Heights here...

Safari Skyway is a birds eye view of Chessington & Zoo.On Safari Skyway, you will start off your journey seeing Mexicana and going over the Children's Zoo.You will then come up to the Monkey and Bird garden, followed by the Penguin Cove and views of the Holiday Inn Chessington.Then you will see to your right (if facing forwards) the SEALIFE Centre. You will then go by the Main Entrance (North Admissions) and to your right, you will see Hocus Pocus Hall which is full of magical spells, a wizard and some very naughty goblins!Then you will come up to the the Trail of the Kings and the Sealion Bay.You will then be told about Vampire for little devils to try out their firs…

Griffins Galleon is located in Land of the Dragons at Chessington & Zoo.To be honest, out of all the times I have visited, I have never been on Griffins Galleon.Next time I go to Chessington & Zoo, I am making sure I go on it.I have heard the audio for Griffins Galleon is great! (Lets hope the ride is too! )Any thought or opinions guys and girls?

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!

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!

anything about the chessie website.I have always wondered does it have on it a section saying " rides current;y unavailble"

Just was reading on Towers Times and Alton's MTDP for the next 10 years has been revealed.I'm just going to quote a post on that site as I wouldn't be able to put it in my own words effectively. Personally this all sounds great to me It's a shame to hear Spinball Whizzer possibly leaving, Yes it has terrible throughput and sticks out like a sore thumb but it is a great little ride. Your thoughts ?

Extraordinary Golf at Alton Towers was a fantastic addition to the park back in 2007. I love it, and this is certainly one of the best-themed courses I've ever played on. I generally like mini golf.Which is your favourite hole? I'm still trying to decide. :PDiscuss Extraordinary Golf here.

Who likes Duel at Alton Towers, or who prefered the old Haunted House attraction that started it all in 1992. This is a room where you can send in some nice comments, memories of the ride and anything else you remember of the ride. I went on this and I used to be scared on that ghostly part when you walked in it took the crap outta me when I rode it when I was little, sorry for the use of bad language people.here's a ride photo of the Haunted House to jog up your memoryif you want the link clicky here...http://s464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/Bla...ntedHouse-1.jpgif you want the picture then its just below the topic page.

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

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.

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?

I made this topic because I dont think there is one...And Ive just found out today that Boris, the big fat sealion has passed on...I gonna miss him

Camelot theme park has now been sold and will reopen on the 23rd of may, Although its long term future is unclear.link

Hello all, I just wondered if anyone knows if I get the £33 ticket does it include sealife & zoo ????

Some friends and I are planning on travelling from London to Alton Towers in June, and I was wondering whether there were any tips anyone could give in terms of the cheapest way of getting there. So far the cheapest travel plan we've been able to come up with amounted to around £30, so if anyone could top that I'd be grateful.Cheers in advance!

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!

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
