Chessington General Discussion
Just incase any of you wanna do trips on the Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday mid week and end of September.... In case you haven't heard. They are now 10am-5pm days instead of just the Zoo and SEA LIFE

I wouldn't put that at CWoA... I don't think it would appeal to many people... or me

Vampire is back on 3 train operation

Thorpe Park Trip Reports

Vampire
Hasn't happened to me often. Did at the start of the season a bit.Suppose its oil or something going on the current collector blocking the sensors to raise the restraints.Suppose its quicker to get people off than wait for the engineer.The current collector isn't "dodgey" at all

The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
Which equals no supid queues which equals no angry people which equals me happy

Vampire
I love how you actually make it sound fun!It hurts my hands! Some of them are too tight!

The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
It is Huss that have created all these new rules - not Chessington WoA...
-
The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
Also, if it turns out there is one adult and two young children, for example, then a staff member must ride.If the platformer won't ride then I think the ride can't start until someone who is prepared to ride, will ride. (If that makes sense).I am only saying the current rules. HOPEFULLY it will change as it will be easier for both visitors and staff!!

The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
They are trying to get it so people that are on the accompanied height are more than the middle 4 rows but atm it is still just them...There are now 2 platformers at Black Buccaneer as obviously adventurers are needing to be vertually taken to the right row!!When it was the middle 2 rows only - it did get up to a 70 mins queue!!!
-
The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
It has gone from anyone who is between the height to sit in the middle 2 rows to the middle 4 rows at the moment. Think this is the main reason for the excess queue obviously!

Chessington Trip Reports
Agreed saw them pop up on FB :DYou looked 'interesting' to say the least ;)Should of left the hats on, on Vampire though
-
Scorpion Express
That is the first thing I notice when I visit CWoA to TP - Staff actually talk to you and you don't feel like you're on a convayor belt system! E.g. "How many? Enjoy your ride. How many?"
-
Suggestions
Why should they have designated areas outside??!Obviously in stations and queue lines I agree are no nos but is there really a point of having smoking areas?They are outside so who gives a flying fish!
-
Tomb Blaster
I told the operator last time when I went and I got another go
-
Vampire
Vampire max queue was 60 mins
-
Vampire
Slow loading?!It is only slow if you don't know how to get 2 people through one gate...
-
Peeking Heights
Thats because I think they are not allowed to load half of the wheel or something?
-
Dragon Falls
Agreed!When it is a nice day and Vampire is on 3 trains - This has the biggest queue sometimes!
-
Chessington General Discussion
That long? Wow hence why there was so many bloody Exit Passes then today! :@

Chessington General Discussion
Dragon Falls did re-open around 5pm and park did stay open only another 30 mins.Vampire at 150 mins is obviously just rediculous.... same for any other ride lol.Apparently, there was even a queue for Adventurers' Services!

Bubbleworks
Is it the spinning duck / fairground scene that is below the Vampire station?
-
Dragon Falls
I think you should be able to buy them at the park as I never heard of them sweets until the new sponcership as sad as that is :DLike though how the actual ride hasn't really changed.Heard station lighting has changed a bit but not 100% sure on that one.
