I think it looks great!! so for, this isnt the finish product, remember this isnt opening until next year and there is still lots to do. Dont criticis until the ride is completely finish. This is probably the best investment chessington has done since the original Vampire/Bubbleworks/ Transylvania years

I disagree, alot of the sound effects were removed when Terror Tomb became Tomb Blaster.  The audio at this time was edited by an external contractor and has been used ever since. I agree that there has been a lot of miss opputuneties this time, but again the wrong people were involved in managing the project. It seems it was more of a H&S exerise are a ride refurbishment. This seems to be a common thing with all merlin projects at chessington. There are people in the park that really do care about making things right, but are always ignored by management that havent a clue about running a theme park.

The ride has been running fine. I dont why everyone thinks that when a ride has a shutdown its the end of the world. Tomb blaster has had a few minor problems and a small amount of people blow it up to be a major incident. Get the facts right before posting anything !!!!!.

Agreed!!!, Electric Bill !!. It seems there is only a handful of staff that are crying out to make a difference, but the management are not interested. I worked there in the winter and was appaled at how some of the maintainence team are treated. Personally, from what I saw it my very short time there, was there was too many (KIDS!!!) that have a team leader or management position, that have no clue about running a team or department within a theme park. Some departments within the park seem to be just full of team leaders and management, and no other staff, where other departments that are either very short staffed, or have staff that are not interested in doing the job they are being employed for, this includes the engineering department, that has recently employed a number of staff that do not care about the job they are being employed for, half of them cant even speak proper english, all the company are worried about is keeping the numbers up in the department. The higher management within the park, and maybe even Merlin need to open the eyes. as a fastictic park is slowly being destoyed by a small amount of peope. Its a real shame for such a very historic park, that could, if run correctly be great once again.

This whole series was fantastic, it really brought back memeries, when I used to visit the park when it was looked after, and it was all about the guests and not about making a profit. Are you planning any more videos !!!
Also how get you get hold of the abdab models, there good great.

I agreed with electric bill, if it requires painting because it looks old, then paint it. If this was disney they would do, so why not Chessington. I think its great that after years of no investment, finally now theres a small group of staff that are going to try and make a difference. I hope that 2016 will be the turn around year.

Well, another season is over, and to honest the Halloween event was a complete shambles, both mazes were terrible and poorly executed, a very poor script and too rushed. The lack of extra theming made the park look really empty. Music around the park thank god was not the MoHPH from last year. Market Square Halloween Tree looked excellent as usual. Why they decide to pull the Rameses laser I don't know, as this was the best part of last years halloween event, Rameses just looked dark and dull. The lighting around park looked great but too much white light and not enough colours as previous year, black buccanear and vampire looked amazing. No show in market as well. Come on chessington, get your act together, heads should roll for this year Halloween attempt.

Visited yesterday evening and found the park amazing, a lot of nice touches that beats Thorpe hands down. The market square area look brilliant, the creepy tree in the middle made it, also a nice touch with the colour changing lights around the buildings made the area really light up. Both the hollows and hocus pocus were great but had long queues, wasn't to keen on the show in market square though, the sound was terrible and kept feeding back. Loved the laser on Rameses Revenge, great idea and the music was good, had heard that they were playing club style music but all I heard was Halloween music, shame, but was still excellent. What amazes me with chessington, is the amount of care and thought they put into their Halloween events, compared to Thorpe Park. The parks rides are lit lovely. and the music they play gives the park a great atmosphere, but could do with area Halloween music instead of the same playing everywhere. Will be revisiting again on Sunday for one last time, and will take load of pics.

Not sure where you've heard about the projection mapping, but youre wrong it is being used again, and the quality is far better. Also lots of other surprises happening around park that haven't happened before

I totally agree, loads of you just moan for the sake of moaning. If you don't like what chessington is doing now, don't go, plain and simple, and start moaning about other parks, I think over the next few years there is going to be some amazing changes. There is a completely new management team that wants to see chessington succeed. There has been a lot of great improvement this year so far. and if you don't like them tough.

Unfortunately he`s wrong on this occasion, I know the engineer that looks after the maintenance of all the sound systems around the park. Entertainment just make sure that it is playing if not then Technical Services repairs it.

Visited today and was really impressed in the fountain lighting, far better than last year. I was speaking to one of the rides staff, and they said that the lighting show was temporary and a better show is on its way. Watch this Space!!!!

Everyone get over it, RMT needed an overhaul, as long as it looks good and is running this year must be a good thing.

Was in the park today, and theming is starting on the ride. All tower frame is being installed, the scorpion model is installed and parts of the back drop theming is starting to be fitted, maybe it will look good and be a completely different experience as they say.
