Chessington General Discussion
I'm liking all this enthusiasm for Chessington. Even though gate figures are down slightly this year, it's to be expect what with Lego's new developments and Saw at Thorpe Park.On the plus side, the Mystery Shop results have been the best out of the whole of the Merlin Group. Awesome times!

Dragon Falls
Elephant has been there for years. It's just one of the many effects that are returning

Sea World
Manta is having soft openings between the 5th and 10th of May. Coaster is well ahead of schedule- leap frogged Rokit!!

Rumba Rapids
It had been there since the start of Thunder River (I think). Used to be a waterfall back then, too. Then I didn't see it work again until 2007 (for about a month). Wasn't Rumba shut during the week? Maybe it was to remove this?

Ducking jealousy. I've been feeling so stressed out and angry lately. There's a few people I just need to scream at for a while and I'll be fine. I really do give up with pretty much everything now. Fed up with feeling the way I do.Oh and I'm not the biggest fan of the person Sknunky is describing in his post either.

Parks, Rides And Coaster News
Although Chessington didn't feature on the top 20 parks in Europe, it's the park that saw the most increase in gate figures of 2008. We won an award

Chessington Trip Reports
Had a fantastic day today at the World of Adventures.First time I've been as a guest this year, and loved all the little improvements. Vampire station looks cool this year with the organist working a lot better than it has done in a while, lots of new lighting it seems, same with Bubbles, too, although the blimmin music still cuts out ¬_¬Bit disappointed to see the globe at the main entrance not turning, it's been fine for over a season, get it working again! They need to keep fixing the leaks, such as the audio on Skyway working on every train, blocking the view to all service roads, finish those Falls rocks off by the first drop.Dragon Falls has had some very subtle changes this year, including some netting in the station, and the elephant, whilst not squirting water, is now a bit more presentable.Vampire station needs turning up quite a bit, and some pre- recorded announcements wouldn't go amiss.Peeking Tom is finally working again :angry2:Omg waffle, sorry. I just feel really rejuvinated now, so passionate about the place, it's really special.

I feel like swearing at the top of my voice. I wanna ****ing scream into a pillow, I wanna bash my head against wall, hit it so hard I start to bleed.I wish I knew what was wrong, even the most trivial things cause so much pain. I don't have a ny right to complain. I'm so much better off than I was but I'm still not happy.It's boiling in here. I'm sweating like I've been masturbating for a month.Fcuk this Sh!t

Chessington Staff
Good for him. It's a theme park, guests get over excited, too. Seems like this guy was doing a fantastic job.

Chessington Trip Reports
Tis a bit off topic I know....Area 1: Vampire, Bubbleworks. Safari Skyway, Seastorm, Black Buccaneer and Carousel.Area 2: Fury, Peeking Heights, Truckers, Griffin's Galleon, Sea Dragons, Dragon's Playhouse and Canopy Capers.Area 3: Rattlesnake, Rameses Revenge, Runaway Train, Jumbos, Berry Bouncers and Toadie's Crazy Cars.Area 4: Tomb Blaster, Dragon Falls, Billy's Whizzer, Dodgems, Bash Street Bus and Dennis' Madhouse.Personally I think it's a lot better this year. The smaller areas allow for more thorough cleaning to be carried out, and the smaller teams mean that you bond more with each other, and the team leaders have more time to spend with their team, motivating them and whatever, which means for happier staff, which in theory, means happier guests

Next year will be a thrillseeker's year methinks.

Chessington General Discussion
Just to lighten the mood.... there have been staff previews at the Pizza and Pasta restuarant, that replaced KFC and Pizza Hut.The interior is very fresh and warm, lots of plants and pictures of the animals from the Zoo. Staff were amazing, great service and just to mention, it was by far the best pizza I've ever eaten. Pasta was scrummy, too.Only downside was that I couldn't physically fit anything else in my belly!

SAW - THE RIDE - Open Day Meetup.
Just need to add, Professor X (officially renamed Professor Sex) is still very gorgeous :)Today was a bit of a let down in terms of most Skunky and Sheepie adventures.

LMAO! I totally had a vision of it being like, "don't sit on my fences, that's gotta sting".

Chessington Staff
Thought I'd crack open this topic again now that the new season is approaching.Any new staff members, say hello!

Chessington General Discussion
I love how all three of the ex Tussaud parks have taken the retro approach.It's like an updated version of the 90s, "glory days" maps.

Saw- Construction Thread
I think a separate topic in the present section will be set up, and of course a warning for spoilers will be in there. But I agree, not everyone wants to know spoilers, so if you are going to post something revealing, then please put a warning at the begining of your post at the very least.Personally, I love spoilers and all the behind the scenes stuff, so you can tell me anything you like! Haha.
