Can people just not call it Chessington?It's not as if there are three different types of Chessington parks in the world, let alone 3 called Chessington.Just a thought.

Yes, you can use them whenever you want, after 11am.

Yup, also sporting the new 2010 logo at the bottom of that leaflet!

Chessington South area isn't that nice but WoA staff tend to leave from between 8pm until latest of 10pm so they're always around to make you feel slightly safer.If not, use the 71 bus to go from right outside the park to the station

Just to clarify, the marketing leaflets being handed out say it is called Kobra.

Looks great

Highlight the text in this post if you want a spoiler of this years HPH.

1. Pass2. Inverted3. $120m4. PMBO, Blackpool5. SF Magic Mountain6. Operational7. Gardaland, Italy8. Millenium Force, followed by SilverStar.9. Pass.

No, contract terminated.Big, BIG difference between the two.

Just in case you hadn't realised.. It's not being sponsered this year. Merlin seem to be turnign Chessington totally in house now, Pizza Hut, KFC have all gone, Picsolve and HBL may be going next year and being brought back in house, Beano contract not renewed.

That's still weird seeing the old Fury control panel..

OMFG CAR 1!It's Car 2 they're doing now Mark, they've done Car 1 already

Well I think it'd be good but as long as sig's are moderated, like not past 100px x 500px. And why people count their rides on 'x' ride and then put them in their signatures, is beyond me.

Favorite ride in the country, easily.

Took your time, a year late!Seriously though, well done Chris

Why do people not believe Mark or Sheepie when they say it really does die down on extended opening hours days?It is a good idea but it really is so much hassle even doing early rider for hotel guests, and opening South Entrance for their early rider. Which, has now changed to opening Fury and LoTD at 9.30 if you come through South Admissions, as Beanoland has now been removed.

I'd agree with most of the points made in this topic, however when people are saying about opening times - the people that visit CWoA are families/ younger teenagers and they are gone by 6 at the latest if it opened until 8, and it isn't financially viable.

The park is being totally relaunched for 2010, so new things like signage, fully fixed effects, areas repainted etc.Supposedly.

Where has the Thomas gone? It has been a long time without him.

He's still got a lot more available than you seem to do on Really Rollercoaster!

It's still available to people though isn't it Dan; and even still at the end of the day it isn't a 'OMFG HOW BIG IS YOUR MERLIN PARKS AUDIO COLELCTION?!?!!?!111111' competition.IRL, it doesn't get you any further in life or social status, on how much theme park music you have.

- Put a good sound system into Land of the Dragons with a sort of atmosphere loop with little announcements highlighting the fact you cannot smoke in LoTD.- Replace the whole Fury queue, with something that is a little more imaginative than a cattlepen - maybe something along the line of how the Dragon Falls queue is.- Remove Truckers, move Carousel up to where Truckers is and put another entrance into LoTD, maybe over the helix of Fury.- Redo the Dragon Falls rocks, and the Runaway Train rocks.- Reopen the Rodeo area and put a brand new one back in, to queue soak.- Remove Peeking and Xtreme Bungee, and do SOMETHING with it!

Samurai was too much of an issue to Engineering at Chessington, hence why the offloaded it to Thorpe. It wouldn't fit into Mystic now as it would need a total repaint, and the whole are would have to be reconfigured, and they would have to get ride of Peeking Heights, which of course is an amazing, exhilarating and thrilling ride.As much as everyone would love it to happen, unfortunately it won't.
