Zappomatic got a reaction from dk3 in Chessington General Discussion
Mack Rides still produce monorails (trains on their website look pretty much the same design) so surely a new fleet of trains and new control system wouldn't be outrageously expensive? Of course there is the issue that the zoo is laid out differently to when the ride opened but hey who doesn't like looking at warehouse roofs and expanses of grass?

Rattlesnake is not 40 years old! It was brand new when it was installed for the 1998 season. The cars can stop perfectly well on the block brakes however it did have an incident some years ago where a car on one of the block brakes somehow came free and slammed into the back of another stopped car, causing whiplash.

Looks a bit like a mash-up of Merlin parks - mostly Chessington (similar standard of upkeep): http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/08/dismaland/

The image above was one created as an entertainment car, with inbuilt sound effects, sometimes smoke that 'an explorer' coughsirArthurCough actor could drive and interact with guests. There were others looked into following that one also.

Zappomatic got a reaction from AdventureRyan in 2014 Season
The Burger King/Mexican Cantina and 4D cinema buildings would have gone up in 1986 as part of European Square. The photo AdventureRyan has kindly dug up looks like it would have been taken around 2002.

Ugh, what is their obsession with corrugated metal? (Oh yeah, it's cheap and maintenance free). Every time they replace a thatch-type roof at Thorpe Park ie. Ranger County kiosks, Rumba Rapids photo kiosk they cheap out and go for industrial looking finishes. It's almost as if someone loves the way shipping containers look and wants everything else to look similar...
