I would love to be involved in something like this on Detonator, passing water around until the tower drops and someone gets soaked.

I think roughness is caused by the wheels depending on their tightness and alignment on the track and on the track itself old be made rougher with the paint fading causing rougher areas of the track. I think to make the ride a lot smoother it may need new trains or even track parts in areas of the ride (I find the cobra rolls the worst).

That's putting it fairly.

I'm not aware of this at Chessington. I attended a Sunday last September which was just after 9.30 and there was no sign of running rides.

Much like detonators perhaps.

Really? I thought that was fixed for 2013. So much for 2013 improvements.

Parts of the idea could work very well during fright nights.

Merlin logic/ exaggerate queue times so more people buy fastrack.

That idea could work.

Can't say I like the supports very much.

They really show how much the ride's appearance has changed.

The problem with that would mean the throughput would be a lot worse in what's already not too high. I think it ha 4-5 trains.

Two good ride choices IMO. Crash Pad doesn't sound as bad as I was expecting.

Looks better than how it was. Although I was hoping on the stops they would include light tunnels. Does any one know if they will still run all five trains on the ride?

What I hope is happening/ Chessngton will revitalise ageing rides to their former glory (or near it) and they will look excellent again. What I expect to happen/ Dragon falls will receive a minor repaint with only a dragon and lone Buddha remaining will mine train will be out in the open completely.

Vampires queue seems to be getting worse every year. They need that third train back badly.

The advert is very compatible to the old Legoland's ones they used. Over hyped, americanised, fake and artificial.

My ratings, Nemesis 1st, a classic coaster that would still be a hit even if it was built 19 years later. Swarm 2nd, impressive theming and unique first drop Oblivion 3rd, the drop is impressive as well as the atmosphere and build up. Inferno 4th, decent substitute to nemesis and an exciting ride. But not as original as other coasters and lacks story line. Air 5th, pleasant interesting ride however gets unfomftable after a while.

Which will be another apocalyptic based theme as an excuse for merlin not to bother with theming upkeep.

Here's a quote posted by someone on Chessie's fb page. I see on Dragon Falls you've now lost the wonderful stone faces from either side of the drop, and rumour has it that the dragon tunnel is gone too. Combine this with the removal of the mountain range a few years ago and it's now a very bare and ugly ride! Do you plan to replace all of this? They've hit the nail on the head. However hearing about the tunnel going (like loggers) is very concerning.

And also hopefully it will reduce nausea for most guests which closed the ride often.

Already looks very impressive. Perhaps merlin should take note (in terms of decent lg flumes).

Doesn't look too ad at the moment.

Except Fairy Tale Brook is closed for refurbishment.
