  1. Safari Skyway is Area 1! Do you switch between Area 1 and Area 2 then!
  2. If Fury behaves itself in rain, why is it I always get 'closed due to weather conditions' How could I have forgot Safari Skyway! That is because it has to go uphill near seastorm and the carousel isn't it Mark?
  3. *Embarrased Smiley* Sorry!How was I suppose to know if you don't have a d.p.!
  4. Glad you had a good day! Dragon's Fury was having technical problems when I went on Monday aswell But then again, at least it is open instead of closed Are you another one that does not like Vampire or were you scared !
  5. I feel old saying this, but I have left school! But got College in September I had 2 favourite lessons... English and French (I am actually being serious! And yes, I am one of the few who actually enjoys doing French; But not when It comes to exams!)
  6. I actually don't see what is the problem with people who go out with people of the same sex! I mean, To be honest, It is none of anyones business who I decide to go out with and sleep with!Just because more people are hetrosexual does not mean that we are doing something wrong for either going for same sex or both sexes. But what 'Gandhi' said about expecting more of her friends. If they are taking the mick then they are not really your friends if they can't exept you for who you are! Meaning, I have told some of my friends and they have been fine with it (and still are hopefully!... If not.... Bye Bye! )Quote dispite what the survey says! Think that may be slightly inaccurate! QuoteI think some people are clicking straight as they can't read to be honest! I have come across 2 people who I talk to on TPM who are straight and you two know who you are! I swear everyone on TPM is either Bi or Gay
  7. To be honest, Me being a Vampire Nerd! , I have never been stopped on Vampire from boarding due to heavy rain. Usually, a staff announcement usually says about the weather and your choice to ride yet so others let you go in front if you dont mind getting wet. (This has happened to me before). But usually, all weather, I am boarding Vampire! Another ride that has not been mensioned is Rodger the Dodgers Dodgems. If there is heavy rain then the Dodgems does temporally stop operating. Chessington & Zoo is good because most rides apart from usually Dragon's Fury and Rodger the Dodgers Dodgems are usually open in all weather! :DOh, and what Paul said about Dragon's Fury being closed during poor weather. That is definately 100% true unfortunately! (Angry face as Dragon's Fury is fun in the rain!)
  8. Omg! Someone who actually sees they are different!e.g.Nemesis Inferno has a drop into a volcano. Nemesis starts with a lift hill.Nemesis Inferno 1st inversion is a loop. Nemesis' 1st is a corkscrew.Nemesis Inferno is red and Nemesis is white.Nemesis Inferno is not in a whole where Nemesis is!Apart from being manufactured by B&M and a B&M, there is not really anything to say that they are simular!
  9. There is actually every point to go to Chessington & Zoo! But I won't start moaning
  10. I hate it when people conpare Nemesis Inferno to Nemesis at Alton Towers.They are two completely different rides!
  11. themeparkmad replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    I wanted to build a bear at you guessed it build a bear! :DBut then got reminded my age So I spent it on clothes instead
  12. No, Rodger the Dodgers Dodgems or as you said Bumper Cars were open all day! Oh and a quick quote from above from Lordcutter6. (Post no 146)Vampire - 1Are you mad! I'd add a few zeros on the end !
  13. themeparkmad replied to Garyy's topic in The Past
    It never has a big queue?!On my last visit when Loggers Leap was open. It said the queueing time was 60 mins!!!
  14. You only get 20% off Ultimate Express Passes at CWOA only though. Not the normal £7 express passes or the express shots.
  15. Yes was but Chessington is better than thorpe with queue times and everything (go CWOA!)Anyway... yes 20 mins was quite good but it did reach 40 mins to be honest for about half an hour when the sun first came out then went down and leveled on 20 mins throughout the sunny period.(Shame about Loggers Leap at THORPE PARK )
  16. Chessington had pouring rain then afternoon was warm then at closing time (6pm) went back to the rain side.I sense scarcasm in your reply aswell
  17. Get an Annual Pass!Get for £24 each. It is worth it if you plan to go on days where you know the closing time will be extended (10k by 1pm) or arrange to go on a quiet day and these can be weekends like mine are!Look at the weather. If you think er.. .No then go! Rain usually means less queuing just wrap up warm!
  18. Yes that was with the aid of an Ultimate Fastrack! Fastrack haters look away before reading my post
  19. To be honest, I usually get on them so many times I forget so...Vampire at least 10 timesDragon's Fury about 7Runaway Train 2Rattlesnake 5 at leastDragon Falls 2Tomb Blaster, bubbleworks, safari skyway, dodgems - 1I am a Vampire guy! Can you tell?! Hope this helps
  20. oh and stated 2 posts above about the elephant. The water is going into the boat now and onto guests LOL
  21. Well I went to CWoA & ZOO today and the queues were...Dragon's Fury - 60 minsVampire - 50 minsBubbleworks - 20 minsRattlesnake - 20 minsRunaway Train - 20 minsDragon Falls - 15 minsSafari Skyway - 5 minsTomb Blaster - 40 minsThese were the maxamum queues I saw but at one point Vampire went down to 5 mins; Dragon Falls went down to 0 mins; Tomb Blaster went down to 15 mins (quite busy Tomb Blaster today actually!); Bubbleworks to 10 mins and Dragon's Fury to 25 mins.Hope this helps!
  22. Has anyone been to Chessington & Zoo lately and heard the new Dragon Falls announcements?They are so weird to say the least! + the elephant is working, so it sprays your groyne with water!
  23. Just browsing for some Chessington old Vampire images and found only a few.From the Vampire nerd
  24. I visited one of my favourite places today!Great day today but due to the odd weather queues went from large to small all day. (why had the aid of a Ultimate Express Pass) - Don't hate me fastrack haters! Got at least 10 rides on Vampire (Favourite!)Got at least 7 rides on Dragon's FuryDone a few Dragon Falls, Rattlesnake and Runaway Train.Done once - Safari Skyway, Rodger the Dodgers Dodgems, Tomb Blaster and Bubbleworks.BreakdownsBilly's Whizzer was advertised as unavailable; However BW opened after an hour of the park opening.Tomb Blaster has a small technical difficulty causing the ride to close for about 30 mins.Dragon's Fury closed its main queue and fastrack queue at 4:30pm due to constant breakdowns towards the end of the day.Overall 9/10 for me. Great day and could do now all over again! Odd CriticismsChessington seem to like all of a sudden to lower the volume on audio as my Bubbleworks station music I could not hear. (for the audio people on TPM! )
  25. I am planning to go today to Chessington & Zoo! I am looking foward to it as if I have never been before!
