My photo challenge!
Hmm, thanks everyone :)It is likely I will start it up again once the season has re-started. And possibly if I get bored during the closed season. :PHopefully it isn't the complete "end"

Chessington General Discussion
Themeparkmad, I agree with everything you said.Half way through this year I visited Chessington out of annoyance from Thorpe Park, I absolutely loved it and I didn't realise what I was missing out on. Chessington is just awesome, and I would carry on but Keith has said everything already :)Well done Chessington.

My photo challenge!
Some weeks only a couple of people entered, and then an even lower number of people voted.I would love to carry it on, but people don't seem to want to enter a picture, and then vote.

No TopsyTurvy :)I agree Ryan, some really original trains would be fantastic, I just can't really think of anything "new" though. Possibly and Sit Down Swinging Roller Coaster, like the way Vampire swings around the corners, but a sit down one, where you would sort of sway.

Chessington General Discussion
Hmm I dunno, it's probably something where the majority of people who go live very close.And to be honest I think Chessington's Zoo is better than London Zoo. Seriously I thought London Zoo was terrible!

I saw some on TowersTimes, they are now putting a sort of plywood on the outside of the building. Presumably to hide building work and keep secret what's going on there during Adrenalin Week and from sneaky people going through the forest

Chessington General Discussion
I guess because it still needs work and touching up during the closed season. Also it means they have to have people to operate it. I think it just wouldn't be worth it, it's not something that would make more people go.

I could not be more jealous That is all I can say

I think the sadder thing is, that there is only 1 day left of the Chessington season! :)Roll on 2010, which is hopefully going to be a fantastic year with the addition of Wild Asia.

My photo challenge!
Guys... I think it's the end. I have loved running this competition, I started it because it combined 2 things I love, theme parks and Photography,It's quite sad, and I would have done anything to make it work, but I guess some things just aren't meant to be.Thanks to EVERYONE, who entered or voted. Thank you :)It's a sad day

I hope your banned for that...Seriously what's your problem, If I had fallen for it, hours worth of coursework would have been lost.

Chessington Howl'o'ween
This year was my first year to Halloween Hocus Pocus since 2003, and I loved every second of it. I think it's by far superior to both Fright Nights and Scarefest. The effort made around the park is just fantastic. I'm already looking forward to next year!

Chessington Howl'o'ween
People get exit passes if something has happened, which detracts from the visitors day. I didn't say all 50 would be disabled, but some of them. And think for every disabled person, how many can each person take with them?And then Exit Passes, are again for groups.I'm not 100% sure what your complaining about, the Exit Pass line was busy... So what? it didn't make the main queue any longer, on peak days the 2 back rows are always used for disabled guests and people with Exit Passes. Those people haven't found a sneaky way to get on the ride without queueing very long, everyone in that queue would have a justifiable reason for being allowed on the ride through the exit.

As I think has been mentioned, they'd have Ride Exit Passes, As far as I know, apart from it being the disabled queue, that is the only other thing it's used for.( Also some of those people could have been disabled but not in an obvious way. )

Chessington General Discussion
I don't have it, but that is such an awesome announcement :)It sets the atmopshere in the station, I bet if you worked on the ride though, it would get quite irritating!

That was something they did for a little bit during the Summer Holidays I think.Also even if that was the case, it wouldn't be through the exit anyway, it would be through the Express Pass queue.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
However much I love theme parks, I still think I would just come home if the queue's were that big...Actually I'd just go to Chessington

The Parks Are Closed....
Usually it does go quite slowly, and yeah I do miss my visits, but I just look forward to when the season starts again.This year I think will be even slower than usual, previous years I've been looking forward to Thorpe Park opening, even after poor trips and the season usually starts off in a not great way, but this year, I have enjoyed the trips to Chessington a lot more so I think it'll go slower.But I do enjoy seeing and hearing whats going on during the closed season, that keeps me sane

Alton Towers News
SW6 really is incredibly exciting, there are "Wraiths" running loose around the area, scaring people, getting people in the mood and setting the tone of the ride, I can't wait :)Thanks for the picture

You would have to be very unlucky for it to not be available

Flamingo Land
It can't be chavy-er than Thorpe Park ?

Fastrack At Chessington
Definately, if ever I'm there and I think that the normal queue's are too long I would definately consider getting one.

Fastrack At Chessington
No problem, have a great day.:PSave the money for that Ultimate for a time when you can go for the whole day

Fastrack At Chessington
Hmm I'd say it depends,Are you going for a relaxing day to experiance Chessington at Halloween, or just to get loads of rides done ?For 6 hours I don't think it's worth getting an Ultimate Express Pass, the first hour at least, even on Halloween, is pretty quiet, and if you plan well can probably get another hour with small-ish queue's, so that's only about 4 hours use you'll get out of that Ultimate, 2 7 ride Express Pass' will be just about enough I reckon
