I really like the look of this, I'll probably try it out next time I go.

I always head to Colossus and Saw first, even if Colossus is on 2 trains. I always find that the best thing to do, if you get in the park at 10, you can get straight on both of them and a couple of re rides depending on how busy it is ect... Seeing as Colossus is still on 1 train this would defiantly be the best thing to do, as Colossus will get busier and busier throughout the day...

Like Tommy said, a lot of schools have broken up today, including me I don't think it would be too busy, I'd say around 30 minutes ques.

Yeah I saw a picture of this on Instagram. Don't know what they did to it over the closed season but it has been pretty unreliable this year, so far. Picture on Instagram - http://instagram.com/p/mVR5P3slpG/

I'm sorry but 3 hours of operation, what? Screenshot from - http://www.chessington.com/plan/today-at-chessington.aspx?tabnum=2

Opps, I thought it was the 28th we went back, well that's depressing What do you think it will be like on Easter Sunday?

A really good day to go (from my experience) is the last Sunday of the holidays, I'm going to try and do it this Easter holidays if I can get down there

At first I believed it, but the name “Chuck's Speedy Getaway” gave it away

I just want them to scrap both, I mean I know it obviously won't happen but it just means that the normal ques literally won't move at all.

Do you think they will still have Fast tracks on top of this? What do you lot think the payment will be like, will it be that you can hire out one of these for a day, or a certain amount of time?

My school has this Friday off, so I am guessing that some other schools might as well. I would go on the Thursday if I was you

The new ticket system online is alot better. I think it's easier to navigate your way around it, and I like the way it looks. I hope they do make it so you can just simply scan the barcode on your phone rather than having to que and get it printed.

Well I had never heard of it getting upsidedown before nor has anyone mentioned it so that is new to me, do you know how long it was stuck for?

This is the first time I've ever seen them this year? Are you sure they aren't new effects, or they genuinely have been broken for agess.....

Slammer has never *Touch wood* been stuck upside down before, so I wouldn't be too scared about that. When Slammer is actually in operation, I've never seen the ride break down nor do I think it happens very often.

Wow! Not only was it reaching more than the normal height, but it was lasting for a long time, giving loads of max height swings, which is great to see! It's a shame that Vortex doesn't manage to pull this off all the time, because it''s a great ride when it runs like this but is a disappointing and a waste of time when it's running bad. I can't remember the last time I've had a good ride on Vortex like this, must of been 2012. I hope that Vortex carries on running as well as it was in this video and that I'll get a chance to ride it like this, but knowing how appaling it was running last year, I can't imagine it lasting very long ;( Then how come the cycle sometimes lasts different lengths? Or is it just dependent on the height of the swings?

I would love to see it, but I very doubt merlin will invest in a woodie, as discussed before.

you beat my 39 on annual pass day!

Oh fair enough. It said 'On the day' so I assumed about 5 or so people would of been able to do the lift hill on the day.

That's awesome thank you! How many people got to go up one of the lift hills and which lift hill was it?

If it's shining directly at the riders I'm pretty sure the lazers could damage peoples eyes. I think it works well at the bottom, especially when it makes the square tunnel effect!

Right next to the crocodiles, maybe they weren't on when you went.

I'm glad to hear this since it was running awfully on AP day. Looking forward to seeing the video uploaded

Thorpe thought it would be open for opening day, and it has been testing well quite recently so I don't think it will be long until it opens now. It's not sad, when it opens I'm going to be straight down there as well

Seriously? It's the first time I ever noticed it as well, and yes I did notice the waterfalls. Nice to see they fixed it.
