Chessington Trip Reports
I went to Chessington on Saturday with 3 friends for a birthday party.Unfortunately we didnt have tickets to the concert but it was still a good day. We got there at 9:15 for a 10 o'clock opening. They let us in at 9:30 but only for the zoo are, so we went to creepy caves.This was OK but a few enclosures were empty for new creatures next year. We then waited by the gate by Transylvania until the member of staff let us in at 9:45. We ran to vampire and had an awesome ride with the sound effects in the 'tunnel' on. After that we went on Bubbleworks and were the first people to go on it (or so the woman told us).After that we headed to Wild Asia for the Monkey Swinger on which we got soaked and then walked to Dragon Falls for another soaking. We queued 5 minutes and then were allowed a second go without leaving the boat.We then went to Dragons Fury which had a 30 minute queue. Went to Rattlesnake which was walk-on then to Runaway Train where we queued for 15 minutes. There was a boy at the front who had turned eleven (I think) who got congratulated by the operator, then when one of my friends shouted that it was my other friends birthday too, he acted though he didnt care which was quite funny! Then to Ramases Revenge where we sat at the end (as we had dried) and then we had lunch at Fried Chicken Co.I really liked it there! We walked up to Tomb Blaster where we were told it was suffering from technical difficulties. It remained closed all day.After that - Sealife and Hocus Pocus Hall.We headed to Black Buccaneer. The rule where an adult has to sit at the end has been changed to 16 or over. As it was my friends sixteenth birthday she got to go on it 2 times! When we got to the front we told her to save the back row, which we shouldnt really do. After that we headed to Berry Bouncers.This annoyed me. I was dragged into a queue of 30 minutes then when we got on it, all 4 of us had a pod to ourselves. The only problem was that it was too heavy so after it had crawled to the top, we slowly sank to the bottom again. 40 MINUTES WASTED.As we had 10 minutes left, I suggested we should go on Griffons Galleon. At first they were reluctant but when I told them they owed me, we went there.Great Ride! Its annoying that everyone misses it due to its position. Went on it twice until 5 which is when the park would have closed.However, the ride op said that the park was staying open till 6 due to Tomb, Kobra, Fury and Falls breaking down for long periods. At that point, Fury started testing.We had a conversation with the operator, Nick Cooke, which lasted 20 minutes! After we said goodbye we headed to Dragons Fury which had just opened. We queued 10 minutes, rode it, then went home.It was a good day altogether!(You are very lucky if you managed to read all of that!!)

I didn't mean to offend anyone. I didn't make that acronym up. I was just saying thats what some people think is a stereotype for a chav.

Council. House. And. Violence. I dont have any problems with homosexuals. Some of my friends are homosexual and that doesnt other me one bit.

Tips for travel
Usually I just do all the rides in one area then move on to the next one.Also, take a walk through the gardens. They are very nice.

(From Rushs Wikipedia Page so not sure about reliability)Explains why its usually on one swing.- Your Thorpe Park
I thought Vortex WAS an afterburner?- Dragon Falls
Did the Dragon Falls queue used to go down the back path from Wild Asia, then through the trees opposite cos there are part on the floor infilled with concrete that looks like removed fencing and then an old wooden structure covered by plants and trees that looks like an old queue?- Bubbleworks
In the room between the Bubbleworks Entrance and Re-Fresh you can hear the fountain music. There is also an old bubbleworks sign saying "Staff Only - Private Bubbly Bits - No Entry"This is the rough layout of Bubbleworks. I guess the block with most of the rooms is the part above Vampire.- Backstories
I think its "You ARE the Nemesis Inferno" or something. But you may be right.- Random

On Jolly Rocker at Legoland, the air gates work really well. Black Buccaneer should really have them again- Legoland
- Legoland
The buckets and the tower that holds them are right before the lift into the station. However you might have missed them as the only times I have seen them on (and I go at least twice a year) was my first visit on its opening year and when I went on Tuesday. Do they change the T&C's every year? Because last year I got a discount on a hotdog stall outside the brick brothers shop. - Feedback of the Site
