Nosferatu

The Vampire has always been a lame roller coaster, even with the old trains. Its amazing station and soundtrack is the only thing it ever had going for it. This is why some people are so mad about the severe butchering of the station. Its atmosphere was unmatched in the 90's.

Me, when Chessington builds anything exciting and worthwhile

Planning isn't the main issue though. There may be something higher up refusing greatness.

Samurai should never of left Chessington in the first place. It suited the mystic east area way better than the bland lost city.

That's why it would suit chessington perfectly. It would be surrounded by so many other rides which are all about to kill themselves at any moment

Glad I got my Lorikeet Lagoon pop badge when I did then, seems it'll go in the pile with the other 'history of Chessington' badges. 

It's a Chessington trademark.

Yeah, let's close Alton Towers and make a whole load of people lose their jobs. That's really fair right?

BPB is not a THEME park though, it's an amusement park.

The park keeps getting worse yet the attendance keeps going up. And as long as people still visit the place, Merlin will be in no hurry to replace theming.
 
The british public seems to settle for anything these days.

HAHAHA.. the ride works, so why on earth would Merlin close it to make it look as splendid as it did in the 80's?
 
Tombs re-do will come first, despite the fact Bubbles gets daily feedback for looking awful. Falls oddly has slipped through the net, and whilst there's no negative feedback on the embarrassing state the park decided to leave it in, it will remain. What's worse is that the original company that sculptured the stone faces, said they would love to re-create it, and bring it back to glory.

Look I feel very bad for those people and if there was some way to help them I would...But I don't know them. I'm not going to act like this is somehow a source of real concern for me, we are not part of each others lives. It'd be pretty disingenuous for me to say I can't laugh and smile today because of those four total strangers that got hurt. We all know J.S217 doesn't blame those four people for Oblivion being shut, he didn't throw a full blown teenage tantrum over it. I think we're allowed to be disappointed about the ramifications of Tuesdays events without being persecuted as heartless monsters, really. 

Personally I think the vampire's ride area has become way too overgrown, it's like a jungle now. All the views to be had from the ride are now blocked by the dense layer of trees. 
 
The ride was perfect back when I first rode it in 1995.

Wow, I can't believe someone actually took her post seriously.

Look I get that we all get frustrated when staff can't deliver effective throughput, but calling them dummies is a bit much.

Professor Burp is never ever coming back. Even if he did I doubt it would feel the same.
 
I can't forgive Chessington for turning the best dark ride in the country into a duck ridden cesspit.
 
Quack.

The only thing bubbleworks needs is dynamite. And lots of it.
 
I really don't see what could be done with that mess now.

OK, I'll admit I was too harsh earlier.
 
Chessington does well with what it has to work with, but the ridiculous planning restrictions is seriously killing them. The other merlin parks get new rides while chessington gets boring zoo additions.
 
It's a shame since the park has an atmosphere thorpe and alton can't match.
