Either it's fine to run hands over ears etc, or it costs too much with Amanda.
-
The whole section has been fenced off along the path between there and First Aid!Anyone got any photos of inside Burnt Stub? is it all in the same style as Hocus Pocus Preload room?
-
That was my original point about the whole retheme, maybe put over in a bit of a better way.

New Chessington Hotel branding has it everywhere, and no I'm not stirring it up with the fanboys.
-
Shall we set a few facts straight seeing as the place has quite a bit of unfair slanting recently?Kobra broke down twice that day, both times valleying in dip next to Mayhem, and Dragon's Fury was up and down throughout the day, it wasn't closed for any period longer than half of an hour. The Vampire queue really was 2 hours, as Exp had been oversold that day, to the point where both queues were full. 45 Mins in Exp + an hour and a half in main queue.Uptime for today was 99% overall, 97% for top 6. Fun fact!

The park now has an even more updated logo which is the new 2010 in brand logo, with 'Resort' simply placed in the sun underneath the letters in the logo.So yes, it is Chessington Resort.
-
Sorry, this was Chessingtons idea?This was a managers idea who he in fact did himself, in his own time. Is anyone here silly enough to suggest that Chessington development team said 'Hey lets actually see how we can make our rides look nice for once'?
-
That picture is the actual best, can anyone provide any info on that?Lets not get responses like 'it's missing a swing' thanks.

*Fires up the rumour mill*Toytown closing in September with a new Aeroplane type kiddie round ride?
-
Yeah from what I can tell is it was just kept when they installed Rodeo in it's last resting place, just used it as a good backdrop.
-
Is it really though? It's simply a repainted version of Beanoland with poor concrete pre fab slabs with a few monkeys spray painted on, it's a slightly 'premium' version of a Tussauds screw up, ala Bubbleworks and Vampire.The only original bit is the talking Elephant but it's of course, ruined by guests shouting and swearing at it.
-
Is there anywhere I can complain to, I want the bandwidth costs refunded for that awful pisspoor video.Poor editing, with just people saying 'Yeah you like it? Cool!' and some relatively cheap PR by CoasterFarce?Sorry if that's a little harsh but it was pretty sub standard for a club that is supposedly affiliated with the park!

The best ride host ever, EVERYBODY SCREAAAAAAM!
-
That's the rig site, there is loads of stuff in transit to be dismantled and taken away.There is currently sitting there (from what I've seen as a guest);- A Skyway Train,- Old Beanoland figureheads,- Old Beanoland Splatupults,- Ice Age figurines,- Old Family Centre Tent,- Old Market Square StageAll the old park signage is sitting on the Service Road behind Tomb Blaster!Think that's it!
-
So it looks like it (in real terms of today) Started outside Carousel, going towards Greedy Goblin through Seastorm extended queue, up through the middle of Market Square behind the old stage, up past Donut stand, next to the turret, straight across Mexicana and in past Mexican Cantina, up past Rodeo, past First Aid and Tomb Blaster Toilets, up service road past Dragon Falls, up and over the hill past Dragon Falls main gate, up to top of the Glade, down on the recently closed pathway between Wild Asia and Dragon Falls, through the toilets outside Fury, through Sea Dragons, then past Capers, up past Truckers, down to Carousel again!Bit of a long route, anyone know how long it took? You can only see the track between First Aid and Mexican Cantina in Mexicana but that's it, rest torn up I think. Hawling Hank looks like a sit down food area or Eatery?
-
So it goes directly through where Seastorms extended extended queue is now, that's actually pretty interesting!Don't think any trains have been left since 2006, anyone care to shoot me down for being wrong?Cheers James!
-
Well the Skyway train that was in bits is now down at Rig Site, which was out back of Vamp station, what else was behind there?And didn't train tracks basically go round where the Service road is now, from Tomb Toilet past First Aid, behind Rameses Arcade, past Rodeo and then supposedly meant to go past Rattlesnake? If anyone could draw a diagram it would be most appreciated!
-
Just a topic about hidden bits of Chessington that can't be seen to the naked eye, is anyone able to shed light on any sort of hidden pathways or interesting bits of Chessington?I've seen that Rodeo queue is still in working condition, all with the cow horns and also the control box, anyone else able to shed any light what it was used for after it closed up?
-
They are hoping to have it open for May Half Term!Access looks like it's right from Creature Features, but from how CF looks right now, it doesn't look anywhere even near existent at the moment. Whole area is huge, and it will come right up to the hotel veranda!
-
Can anyone elaborate on why the hate for Cameron?Just to broaden my political horizons - and any point made has to be about David Cameron Conservatives, not sort of Thatcherism.

Those snakes are still lying about! Sitting down on the other side of the fence from South Lawn.
