The protective cover has now been removed on the Cbeebies Land entrance sign. Don't even know what my thoughts on it are to be honest. (Towers street)

I prefer the current theme if I'm honest.

Thorpe don't really need it to be honest, Detonator hardly get's ques anyway. I would like to see a taller drop towers maybe at some time in the future, but I wouldn't want to see one with less power.

The outside sign is now looking complete, looks a lot better than I expected. And the inside is also looking really nice, with leather chairs. I'm defiantly going to try it out next time I go! (Photos from TMG facebook)

My worst experience has good to be Chessington in 2012. Although I was with someone with an exit que pass, we got an awful ride count due to the ques for the exit pass(As it was packed), and basically everything breaking down throughout the day. On top of the breakdown, there was thunder and lightening a lot of the after noon closing all the rides, apart from Tomb Blaster and Bubble Works. After the day, it was on there website saying that you could use the tickets again to go back, but that was no use to me as I'm a merlin annual passholder.

The 25th of April is not actually in the Easter holidays. I go back on the Tuesday that week. I think that would be a good day to go, seeing as a lot of people would have gone in Easter, have fun

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.
