The only talking bin I remember is by Tomb Blaster / Dragon Falls drop...Is there another one?

I would hate to see those new trains added to the Vampire as they look really childish and 'unrollercoastery' in my opinion.I would rather have the current ones which emphasise the look of a rollercoaster.
-
I agree that Pirates Cove is a weak area but I do think the queue line is more than what you are making it sound Mark.I do agree with it being one of the more weaker areas though along with Toytown, as Benin stated.However, I personally don't think Forbidden Kingdom is a weaker area either.
-
I rarely go on Black Buccaneer purely because my stomach just doesn't like it.However, I was in the queue line yesterday and it was not until I had a good look around that I relised how amazing the queue line actually is!I always thought Pirates Cove was just the name to fit in with the 2 rides but the queue line for Black Buccaneer really did make me feel as if it was Pirates Cove for a purpose.An amazing queue line!
-
No it was not because of that - I was just generally wondering. :PIt is weird that the park is obviously open for a Zoo Day but there are people around the Vampire...Does it make a difference if the park is open then.
-
Is this something the park can ask to be re-done or is it just when Google decide to do it?(If anyone knows)
-
Yeah I couldn't go past the Fangtasia shop yet it lets me by Black Buccaneer.Also, it is a shame that Chessington WoA looks closed in some areas!
-
The speakers that were placed in the tunnel now have audio playing! :PIt is like a crashing noise then a wolf howl. Have not actually heard it myself yet on the ride so don't know if it is hearable or not but I hope to find out soon!
-
Honestly, I have no idea to be honest James.My personal thought would be that they will wait until it becomes less 'new' and then put Kobra back on the Pass.Because Kobra is not on the normal Express Pass at the moment - Express Passes have gone from £8 to £6.^ Is that going to be permanent or just for a few more weeks whilst the ride is still "new" ?
-
Kobra is still on the Ultimate Express Pass.You can only get Kobra on the normal Express Pass if you book it online.
-
Is that the exact copy I hear over and over looping in Market Square or is it slightly different? I am unsure.
-
Was the music at Halloween Hocus Pocus last year in Vampire's tunnel just a loud, thumping noise?If so, that is what I heard but wondered if it played something else on maybe someone elses day...
-
They are not currently being used.There are a lot of speakers Vampire has in the queue line, and now tunnel, that are not being used.However, I suppose it is common sense that if speakers have been added to the tunnel that something is bound to play out of them soon! :PWell that is my guess anyways!So what are the 10ish bose speakers doing in the tunnel?
-
I thank you... :DI think all the additions to Vampire this season have been amazing!I have always found Vampire to be a quick queue as you are always able to see the ride!The station itself is extremely well themed with the awesome music at a perfect volume!Woop Woop for Vampire!I love this ride
(obviously not as much as themeparkmad!) But yeah, it's great when you get the the bottom of the 2nd lift and everyones like "that was good" and everyone who's been on before is thinking to themself thats not even the best bit. That or alternatively people think it's finished 
-
If I am being honest - Chessington WoA still has not lost its magic touch for me and I am 17! :PI still get a buzz as I pull into the car park and start to make my way over to Vampire! If Vampire was to leave the park, that is probably when I would say 'it has lost its magic'. - Purely because I have so many memories of Vampire and think everything about it is great. Vampire is the main reason I visit, so without it, I would say it would have lost the magic touch.Tbh - Even when I turn up for work - I still have a buzz going through me as I walk into the park!
-
It is usually the tourists that dont understand that I find or if they are like "but I am waiting for someone".... Well wait at the top of the stairs then!WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT 'STAND AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS?!'
-
To answer your question - Dragon Falls was closed for the remainder of the day.However, Dragon Falls is fine for tomorrow.Other boats evacuated, but at about 4 the boat from the drop was no longer there, but the ride still not in operation, this was the last look of it I got so don't know if it was re-opened.
-
No - It is not just you James.It has also come to my attention that this season, and in fact last season, Rattlesnake's lift hill has got slower.
-
You are meant to refer to guests as Adventurers Mark to fit in with the 'World of Adventures' theme and 'Britain's Wildest Adventure'.Hense why Outfit did...Adventurers...

You know the announcement off by heart before it even plays

It was due to the rain, obviously, that the South car park was closed.However, I don't know if it implies for today, or just has not been changed, but the website is stating that the park has hit capacity.We haven't had any rain so maybe the park actually is full?!The car park on the grass was pretty much out of use yesterday. They were parking cars on the edge of the fields. No one was allowed to park in the middle of the fields due to it being completely swamped. They eventually ran out of parking spaces and had to stop letting people in. Yeah it was a bit busy yesterday but it didn't really hit 'capacity'.

^ if you are a regular visitor to Chessington WoA and Thorpe Park then maybe invest in a Railcard?I can get from Brighton to Chessington South for £12 with it, so maybe worth looking into if you will travel quite a bit!
