Yes its not that clear but I zoomed in and was just about able to read it. Also like James said he had already practically posted the list above. A hard to read map is better than no map!

http://forum.maniahub.com/topic/10105-themed-areas/#entry160297 Confirms a new park map style for next season.

Map can already be found here https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=630749753643053&set=pb.142513919133308.-2207520000.1383783220.&type=3&theater

Most of the farm area was flooded in order to compensate the land infilling. See below. I think I also read somewhere about 6 years back that the rest of it was used for planting trees and shrubbery to be used in the park, although I could be wrong. http://planning.runnymede.gov.uk/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/Generic/StdDetails.aspx?PT=Planning%20Applications%20On-Line&TYPE=PL/PlanningPK.xml&PARAM0=169971&XSLT=/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/SiteFiles/Skins/Runnymede_AA/xslt/PL/PLDetails.xslt&FT=Planning%20Application%20Details&PUBLIC=Y&XMLSIDE=&DAURI=PLANNING

BWP only used the station as the entry point and it followed the old route towards the farm (up until Rumba/Inferno) of which the track had been removed a few years back. It did not follow the route of the current track at all. Even if they keep BWP it doesn't mean CCR is not able to return as they would simply close it during Fright Nights. Guess we will have to wait and see as to whether it will return, but must admit it is strange that everything is still exactly as it was left two years ago when it was closed, suggesting they do have a plan for it.

And the two nights I went banana boat was open all night as well.

Had already done the maze the week before minus the control room and we had waited 15 mins in the foyer and they still hadnt sorted the problem so decided to leave. We was told that it had been evacuated because a single effect stopped working which automatically causes it to shut down.

When I found the control room with my friend we got in and then the lights came on and an evacuation message started playing and we were told to exit so didnt actually get to do anything with the room.

Haha. Was thinking exactly the same as Fred.

I have to say all four of my rides last Friday were also smooth throughout the whole ride. No jolt on the main drop at all.

I have been on Cabin in the Woods twice (Preview night and this friday evening) and have found it to be awful both times, but mainly hearing good reviews. Only saw three actors on both occassions. Probably didn't help that both times 12 - 15 of us ended up cramped in the rooms together as everyone caught up with people in front. Was funny this Friday though as the woman letting us in at around 9:30 started to tell us what to do and then asked us if we had been on before and when we said yes she said leaning on the wall looking completely shattered. "Do you know what I have been here since 9am and I can't be bothered to say it again, go through"? There was no queue for it at all at this point but busy inside.

I guess it wouldn't have the dispatch theme as it's Fright Nights or has it been playing it's normal theme in the morning and Fright Nights music late afternoon onwards?

It's clear it can't handle being run on a decent setting as on FN preview night it was running one of the faster settings and what then happens? The thing breaks again. What's the betting it doesn't reopen at all between now and end of season?

Why are they so inconsistent with the effects? On friday the fire or water effects did not work or wasn't switched on the two times I was in the Swarm area yet yesterday they worked or were switched on.

Shame the park will only be open in the dark an hour or two when the clocks change to experience them.

The price was still £45.60 yesterday so literally just gone up. Extortionate

To be honest I prefer the Midnight syndicate tracks to these newer ones. Especially Detonators Humpty Dumpty/ haunted nursery track used up until a couple of years ago which is what I'm guessing you also mean above?

Someone posted last month to say it had returned. If its gone again I agree. Bring it back Thorpe. Much more atmospheric during the loading procedure. I think it does fit actually James. Its like the calm before the storm.

According to my response from Chessington at an earlier complaint and mention of Monkey Swinger's water not working thrown in for good measure they said that there wasn't a problem with it, just that it must have been switched off. Not so sure I believe Chessie there as it seems most people who visited throughout summer didn't ride it with water.

I for one have young cousins who love it and they used to always go on flying fish but now always want to go on this several times. I have also seen many youngsters going on and coming off looking like they have enjoyed it.

I certainly dont remember the old trains faffing about when entering the station. This is one of the reasons aside from poor operations from the staff that three train op wasn't always efficient as 20 - 30 odd seconds are wasted with the train pulling in to the station stopping and moving several times.

Every year the effects are fixed and two months down the line they are broken and 9 times out of 10 never repaired until closed season.

Strange. My first ride was saturday. I didn't get the train number I was in but it was row 3.

It is most certainly an awesome ride, but yes very rough in places. It gave an almighty jolt on the cobra roll in the second part of the ride. Much, much more vicious than the jolt at the bottom of Saw in my opinion. Felt like the whole train shifted.

Well if anyone has read the themeparkreview China trip reports, most rides seem to be knockoffs! So chances are high that it isn't a mondial!
