I, at the Season Pass, am interviewing John Wardley on Saturday
^I mean the but about How to Train Your Dragon, it just went off on such a tangent in comparison to the rest of the conversation...

Disney and Universal are amazing places because of all the little details...Not everyone will notice them, but something as obvious and simple as lab coats and hard hats will help things all come together...

Well done for stereotyping an entire group of people based on one idiotic person's post... I listened to it earlier and thought it was very good, though the theatre part was a bit 'why?' to me as I thought it was meant to be a coaster show...Thankfully now we can not hold John responsible for any of the dodginess of the ride and place all the blame on Candi Holland...

Chessington General Discussion
It entirely depends how much the person uses the microphone as well...Sometimes they can do it too bloody much and make absolutely no sense to the ride in question... And that can get really annoying after a while...

Suggestions
I'm not overally fussed about it being Pizza Hut (bar the expensiveness of it) but they really need to re-arrange the serving areas... Especially when we're spoilt by the good layouts at Alton and Chessie...

Evidently someone just doesn't love Chessie enough to help make the experience even more complete

Chessington General Discussion
Hopefully Peeking Tom is the sort of thing Chessie will revamp extensively with their future plans...Just hope they have a list of the areas that need a complete redo that we approve of... Mexicana, Mystic East and Toytown being my main 3...Bubbles contract runs out this year as well doesn't it? God I hope they have epic plans for that as well...

The Black Hole
I miss it... Really do... Seeing that image makes me slightly sad inside even though the coaster was nowhere near special to me...Maybe because it was ditched because they didn't want to spend the extra money on it and you still see the remains of it sitting there after several years...

Chessington Trip Reports
^Well it IS the actual name of the ride... It's not as bad as wanting everyone to put "& Zoo" at the end or having the name of the park in all capitals...

The Zoo
^They really did sneak it through because apart from the hints given to Coasterforce we didn't know anything until they put the advertising up...Maybe it was easier for them to push through because it was animal based and didn't require much in the way of building a massive structure (although the building next to Creature Features looks big), so there was minimal opposition against it or less time was needed for the council to decide...Either way, this area will be a work in progress for the next several years... Let's hope the zoo will follow the high standards given by Wild Asia and expand greatly...

Cue a crappy Vekoma Motorbike coaster

^Horray for things that say 3 lines one after the other in quick succession

Seemed to be a lot smoother this year at least in the back row...But I also agree it NEEDS more padding... Bloody Vekoma...

Rush
But this in turn makes the queue-line even longer, and that queue can be bad enough with just the minimal settings... Let alone the ride being even longer...

Chessington General Discussion
Think work experience people intermingle between areas (mainly rides and presentations I think), as I've only encountered them a handful of times, a full-timer may be able to tell you more...But basically you won't be doing much on the rides bar shadow platforming...

Vampire
Do wish they'd theme both sets of tunnels on the ride though...Even just a cheap looking rock wall on the inside of the one by Buccy would improve it, especially if the smoke machine was used... The brake run though... God I wish there was something decent in there to look at...

The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
I never said that...I said the TRANSITION as you go from Toytown into Forbidden Kingdom is awful...
-
The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
^Agreed, Pirates Cove just seems to intermingle between several areas of the park without being defined...The queue is... good... Although the area under the waterfall is very dodgy many times throughout the year...Tbh I would like to see Pirates Cove get a hell load of work done to it to actually make it feel a lot more defined as an area, instead of having the dodgy transistion that also occurs in Toytown and Forbidden Kingdom...
