I think you will find that is incorrect information!

All of what I am going to say is going to be honest...THORPE PARKI do miss THORPE PARK, but it is sort of "controlable" for me. The only thing that I usually miss from time to time is a ride on Colossus. However, that is something to look forward to.Chessington & ZooI all honesty...I miss that place SO much it is unreal.I mainly miss Vampire and hearing the laughs in the music and just the ride.I also get times where I am in lessons, and smell the Bubbleworks, Tomb Blaster or Dragon Falls which always makes me want to visit!Chessington & Zoo is the only place for me where the closed season goes so slow! (I mainly have Vampire to blame for that).It is not just the ride, it is the whole atmosphere and sounds that just make me happy. Also, I have met some fantastic people through Mania Hub, and the ones I have got to met are so nice, it is unreal!This is another reason why I don't like the parks being closed as the two most easiest places to go to meet up are THORPE PARK and Chessington & Zoo! :PObviously, you can easily find activities such as shopping, general meets, going out for a meal to even London Dungeons, Madame Tussauds and London Eye. (If you are missing your Merlin Annual Pass that much!) :DIt is not so much December that I notice that the parks are closed, due to the whole celebration of Christmas.It is when I hit January, I start craving Chessington & Zoo and Vampire! :)I think I have made a conclusion.... BLAME VAMPIRE!

Exit Passes can be issued to people on other visits to Chessington & Zoo.I know myself that when I have not used an Exit Pass. I have got it re-validated for a future visit.Maybe there was a technical delay during the day and you didn't notice?

Thank you so much for that! I will look forward to hearing Vampire's music tomorrow! Monster Mash is a must for me at Chessington & Zoo!

Exit Passes are usually given if a complaint has been made, or a Ride / Attraction has broken down.

That is how good theme park music should be! :PAnd I am glad that one of my favourite Fright Nights tunes is very loud!

Nemesis Inferno's music was definately my favourite for Fright Nights!"Freeze Their Souls" playing around the ride area and on trains dispatching is just simply amazing!

Me felt special!

I liked it!I loved being able to click minus on peoples stupid's posts and click positive on the thought out, detailed posts.

Yeah but it saves looking back a few pages sometimes :PAnd its Mania Hub Steve

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!*Muhahahahahaha!*I hope you make it to tomorrow morning!

I am quite curious to know what the queue times are for Halloween this year.If anyone could post them, after there visit, it will be much appreciated!

These are some good pictures! Thank you! :)You have made me even more excited for my visit tomorrow!

Yes Mr Sarcastic!But some have to be closed off, hense the fire effect on Tidal Wave, for obvious reasons!

Last Halloween Hocus Pocus, I saw Vampire get up to 120 mins.I recon queues can easily go over the 90 mins mark!

I have no idea to be honest.Maybe it was considered to dangerous to have gas works underground by Stealth? See Ricky's post above where it states "Fire" and "Water".Click on these to see the relevant effect.

It certainly is looking amazing!Hopefully I will manage to do a trip next season to go to Alton Towers and ride "SW6"

You only get 20% off Express Passes at Chessington & Zoo.You don't get any discount on Fastrack at THORPE PARK.

You only get discount on the Express Passes at Chessington & Zoo.Even if you own an Annual Pass in other theme parks, you will not get 20% off.This offer is exclusive to Chessington & Zoo only. You can do the following rides as many times as you want via the Express Pass queue...* Vampire* Dragon's Fury* Dragon Falls* Tomb Blaster* Bubbleworks* Runaway TrainYou can do the following rides as many times as you want via the ride exit.* Rattlesnake* Seastorm* Safari Skyway* Rodger the Dodger's Dodgems * Billy's Whizzer

Unfortunately, I disagree with you there.UltimateExpress Passes are currently £35 due to the closure of Rodger the Dodger's Dodgems and Billy's Whizzer.Annual Pass holders still can get 20% off making it £28.I would rather pay an extra £7 to get Unlimited rides on my choice as well as rides via the ride exit.

THORPE PARK do have a way of shocking people, so it could open.I recon Stealth will re-open for the few remainder days of the season!

Thank you!I am sure I will! :DThe only way that it would not be a good day if Vampire is unavailable! *Touching wood stating that Vampire will be available!*
