Closed Rides
8 rides closed on the park's opening day including two majors after 4.5 months? All I can say is,

The Blade
Hmmmmmmmm Lots of trees being removed around the Forbidden Valley, Blade no longer listed on ERT, Blade no longer the map. Sounds like Blade is going to me, plus it would sound most likely SW8 would be built (atleast partly) on the site of this ride (and Ripsaw), seeing that they have to be very clever these days to get anything granted (unless it's lucky enough to be an area where planning isn't needed), especially as the park has its a share of 'local' haters and gets pressurised more and more of the need for a relief road to the park every year. Can see this season being Ripsaw's last as SW8 is planned for 2017 and next year will likely be a construction site.

Nemesis Inferno
Unfortunately Merlin doesn't have disney's budget for maintenance and upkeep [amongst other things] and can't really start repaving pathways, rebuilding facades and queuelines, but at least what they've done so far is a step in the right direction. Must admit the park's upkeep has been slightly better the last few years.

Colossus
Colossus isn't too rough in my eyes and whilst its not as smooth as swarm & inferno I'd say it's been running smoother the last 2/3 years compared to how it used to be. Would still like to see those new trains like the ones at Cinciatta World in Italy as they look more comfortable and roomy too.

Chessington General Discussion
Not sure whether I like or don't like the new map design. Definitely not the worst design though. Treetop hoppers is an interesting name though.
