Which drives me crazy because on busy days so many people will moan that they didn't get their money's worth and yet they never had the good sense to enjoy the zoo admittance they'd paid for. But I've seen some pass holder who turn up at the park with preschoolers just to do the zoo. (One lady even arriving with her tot 30 mins before closing with picture cards.) The image of the zoo seriously needs to be turned around to more than something dull you do to kill time between fast-tracks.

They better put the hook-a-duck back in, that's the only sense of victory I have when I leave the park.

Chessington General Discussion
Merry-go-girl replied to Ash's topic in Chessington World of Adventures
This years motto for Chessington, any event that doesn't end in flames is a successful one. -
I still think it looks cool, especially from the bridge lit up at night. I remember the first time walking up to it and being really impressed with the scale.

Chessington General Discussion
Merry-go-girl replied to Ash's topic in Chessington World of Adventures
People have been saying for a while now that logistically speaking TombBlaster would be one of the best rides to open during zoo events, so I'm hoping this is only step 1 of Chessington's listen to the customer more approach.... -
I like it, makes me think back to Disney Western themeing circa 1992.
-
I don't think the current negative attitude towards Merlin is due to us having unreasonably high new attraction expectation. It's due to all the downgrading that's been going on. We're seeing themeing getting taken down and either minimally replaced or not replaced at all. Throughputs for ride's are getting slower and slower. Too many attractions closed in a single season and yet tickets prices are raised. Towards the end of this year there was less to do, the peak time throughput of rides was painful and they respond by making the hotel bigger? It's a size 11 in the face to the customers really.

Old Chessington or the current Chessington?

I think they're in the graveyard with Prof Burp and Zappomatic.- 18 replies

I'm not saying Merlin can't build wonderful new attractions, I'm just aware they have an equally long history of being half-arsed and negligent with quality. It's still an apprehensive wait and see for me.

You make a good and logical point, sadly I can effectively counter that point with one word. 'Quack'.

Rocks man, are there rocks?

I quite like that idea, maybe a big giant one with claws hanging over a tunnel entrance. Add a bit of menace to a seemingly tame ride.
-
They're keeping the same track right? If so I don't see a great deal of motivation to bring in brand new cars, just revamp them.
-
Drives me crazy when people start multiple projects but only have the time to finish half of them. Oh well, lucky for them Dragon Falls is tucked away at the back. Perhaps people will be so dazzled by the hotel expansion and Market Square spruce up they won't even notice.

I'd just never come across that file hosting site before. And last month while using a youtube audio ripper I regularly use I picked something up so I'm just a little gun shy. No offence intended.

Yay, it's so whimsical and jolly. Thank you helpful people! Edit: Anyone got the Transylvania Halloween track, the one with the wolves howling?
-
Are you sure it's safe to download?
-
One of these days I'm going to track down the Trail of the Kings music.
-
Technically didn't Transylvania get an update last year? What with the re-vamp of the Burger kitchen and little touches to the paintwork.
-
... Yeah I actually still have full function in that area. For now anyways.

I'm guessing there's more of us, judging by the amount of profiles with ages withheld.

I couldn't put a year on it but I would guess Slammer will be the first to go. It's been showing signs of poor health for a while now.

Well there goes my self-esteem for the New Year. lol

Well, doesn't have the quite the same punch taken out of context.
