Jobs..
Wish I could spend my time looking over theme park forums instead of being at work on a Saturday... Oh wait, best of both worlds I guess. Still, I'd rather be at home than at my desk.

Chessington General Discussion
I remember when I went a couple of weeks ago and the operator looked so bored, thats why I thought he was making up the story about the bees on Dragons Fury I mentioned on the thead earlier. I guess I should be more trusting.

I wasn't tying to kick up any sort of fuss as you say regarding my nephews height. I just wanted to know how strict it was regarding entry. I understand that the restrictions on rides are there for safety and would never want my nephew to be put in any kind danger. Although this post may not be entirely aimed at me, more something that my comment triggered, I would like to say I was in not way trying to make people's jobs harder or kicking up any **** as you say.

I was just looking around on Wikipedia and saw this on the Chessington page;'In 2010, the market for Chessington will be further changed to cater for people of all ages, not just children.[citation needed]'I know it has no source and am sure its just speculation, but is there any rumors as to something happening for next season?

I think its a terrible idea to put up those shields, if people want to use the pistols to get riders (more) wet then they themselves should be able to get it back. Protecting them from the splash made by the boats is stupid. Perhaps we can lobby to get Thorpe to install water pistols that are mounted and aimed at the original pistol shooters... Fight fire with fire (or water with water).

I think that even I (being a fan of the films) would have trouble sleeping in a Saw themed rooom!

Dragon's Fury
Thats why I mentioned the time of day, as it doesnt seem to spin as wildly with two people on one side in the mornings. Still doesnt lose it enjoyment though!

Perfect! It's also not the type of announcement that makes your 4 year old nephew keep repeating it all day.

Dragon's Fury
So was Vampire... Well, everything was.Regarding the spinning of the cars on Dragon's Fury, is it all to do with spreading the weight proportionately or does time the time of day have an effect (ie. once its warmed up as it where)?

Dragon's Fury
I can safely say there were no reports of bee attacks today and lucky for me, once again, Dragon's Fury was walk on!

I am really not a fan of these announcements.

Dragon's Fury
Just got back from Chessington where, Dragons Fury was closed because, so I was told by a helpful (to be proven) operator, a swam of bees had set upon people mid ride. Can anyone confirm this? Does it happen alot?The last time I went I did notice alot of wasps near to the station entrance I just guessed it was because it was so soon after the easter holidays and they had stayed around thinking more sweets and drink would be spilt?

Will the SWAT team be waiting outside the entrance now?

I do like Vampire but find it a little to ricketty, my head just seems to get thrown all over the place, still can never complain about the section after the second lift hill. Thanks again.
