Age now: 16. Almost 17.I plan to work at Chessington & Zoo on a weekend day whilst at College and maybe University.However, I am working my way to become a Teacher of English or French. (Probably English).Chessington & Zoo still has to be a must as a job aswell though!

Nemesis Inferno's queue line is probably the fastest for me which makes me enjoy the ride more!Even with a long queue, I always feel like I am moving and getting somewhere. (Unless a breakdown obviously! )

I am glad to see the effects at the end of Rumba Rapids are back in operation! ;)The waterfall before the tunnel used to cover the whole boat but not it only covers part of the boat.Glad to see some of the effects are back on Rumba Rapids!

I did not relise how sensitive SAW: The Ride was in the rain until 2 days ago!It is worse than Colossus!

Thank you very much for your detailed responce!

I don't know if this is true but I have heard that there are rides that you have to ride before you move on to the next part of the attraction.What ride or rides are they?

I have never been to the London Dungeons but I hope to go this summer holiday!Me and my friend can be really jumpy people so it should be a laugh!

La FranceIpod or MP3?

ShowerDVD or VHS?

Family GuyToilet or Bathroom?

I think that it is 51" inch chest measurement for rides such as Nemesis, Air, Rita, Oblivion, Spinball Whizzer....The best thing to do is sit in the "Test Seat" for the particular ride and if you feel comfortable and feel the restraint would lock, then join the queue line.Also, you can always find a ride host for more information or pop into Guest Services.

Thanks for writing.Just so you know for future that this is the 'Chessington Trip Plans' topic and not the 'Chessington Trip Reports' topic!

Welcome!

I think they got rid of Dragon's Fury single rider queue as it did not effect the main queue really at all.Also, I think the single rider queue was up Dragon's Fury exit causing pathways to become blocked.Think about it if you have ever been issued with an exit pass or have / know someone with a disibility. It can get pretty crowded up there as it is without the use of a single rider queue on top of it!

Believe it or not. After Nemesis being my favourite. The Runaway Mine Train is my second!I love this ride for its music, length and how it is really for all target groups.QueueOn my last visit to Alton Towers (ages ago), the queue extensions were not open. (or the time before in fact).Do they just not bother to open these and let the queue come out of the entrance or is their a reason?

No effects again on Nemesis Inferno yesterday.To be honest, I have given up on the effects at THORPE PARK.People get all excited and impressed over effects that have returned and say how amazing it is they are back.1. How long will they stay working.2. They should not really have stopped in the first place! So people get themselves happy over something that is working for probably a very short amount of time.

I am going to Chessington & Zoo on Wednesday!

Interacting with guests and giving out false information is misuse (sp?) of the PA system.I would not really be that happy if a ride operator gave out a PA stating a ride is having technical difficulties, then to find it starting / dispatching.This would be for any Ride or Attraction at a theme park.

So, you just go to THORPE PARK to be sick?! Whatever floats your boat I suppose!

Here is a video I found on You Tube of Vampire in 1993. (Full Video)I never got to ride Vampire with these trains but after watching; I think I will stick with the current Vampire. :lol:I can't believe how much of the ride you see as there are barely any trees for a tree top flying Vampire!
