Apologies for the delay between updates, theres been... things going on..? Eh... Dad and I headed over to the mine train, however when we got there we saw it was still testing and the entrance was closed. So we decided to go to the little drop tower near by. 'little..?' My dad said and then chuckled to himself. He's not very good with heights to be honest. We came off, after getting a nice little view of the park and... It started raining. So we decided to head away from the mine train which was still testing, and go and try some of the more extreme rides in Azteca. We heard announcements back at the mine train telling attendents to go to the main gate and announcing publicly that the ride was running for test purposes only. I didn't want to shock my dad with something very tall again so we went and did Totoquilhautzli (toe-toe-kill-ho-slee), or as it seemed alot of guests were already calling it; Toto. The ride was so much fun and you get completely soaked by the fountains. Now with our adrenaline running, we decided to go ahead and brave the queue for Itzquemitl. But then, it started hailing. 'Adventurers in the Itzquemitl queueline, the ride operation will cease due to bad weather conditions. We apologize for any inconveniences caused.' A little saddened, we decided that we'd grab a bite to eat in the Famsi mexican diner. It was packed, so we got some burritos and walked down to the entrance where we saw Mr. Tordale handing out free return tickets. 'Ah, Toby my boy, hold on there for me.' he said as he walked up to us, hands full with a couple stacks of tickets for the park. 'You just pop inside the mansion. I want to hear what you think of the park.' I looked down at my feet, nodded, and then walked up to the mansion. 'So what did you think?' 'Well that park seems quite green which is good.. But.. There were no bins? '... Oh my, I completely forgot to invest in bins besides the ones in queuelines. Thank you!' 'Also, the park lacks much character. I mean drayton manor is the same sort teconcept and whilst you have a killer rollercoaster it would be nice to have a real identity in buildings and themes.' Then, my dad chipped in ' Also, you've called the park gardens... Theres not much gardens here really is there?' Mr. Tordale thought deeply for a second and processed what we had just said in his head. 'Thank you for your insight, you two. I really appreciate it. I suggest you leave soon though, whilst there is a short break in the weather.'

Didney. Visiting legoland used to be an annual event for me and my fam when we were little, but after visiting disney and seeing everything I have wanted to go to theme parks everywhere all the time ever since.

The cycles are much more balanced now so most of the time each side will have a couple swings at the top.

Not the case anymore, since Sunday they have been filling every boat however there are new filling rules, maximum of 3 adults a tub, no kids, or 4 adventurers etc.

Saw's not going anywhere, its got some fresh new signs outside of its entrance and its pretty much the only permanent maze so they are sort of obliged to use it until the thing sinks or the lionsgate contract runs out.

Happy birthday you daft human being.

I did Maus a couple months after its opening and didnt think anything of it. From what I remember and what I've heard, it's improved dramatically since, all I remember was a nice queue line and screens, but apparently there is ALOT more then that now. Favourite dark ride is X [dont be triggerd]

Ian, ride operators don't even have access to the areas of the ride controls that are required for this sort of action. It would've been a TL or an engineer. At thorpe the uniforms are all practically the same for all the people who work on rides at all, and it was likely it might've been an engineer. The mistake you explain is just too clumsy to be true. Proximity sensors would've picked up the trains no matter where they are and put up an alert saying it was stuck in a certain section on a little diagram of the layout (normally a bit simplified). All the trains are highlighted on a rides layout if they are being actively used.

^ or like said above, not open at all. Something that american theme parks do alot. On the subject of vampire queue, the end of the tunnel represents approximately 90 minutes when the queue is fully extended. I wouldn't expect the first couple S bends to make the queue more then 2 hours or so if the queue was coming out of the entrance.

Alex you're so depressing.
-
Spidermans floor space rounds to a similar size as this buildings... people seem to already forget that this isn't even a 3rd of the building.you could fit a decent ride in it still.
-
not foot long ones though.

Hey! That sounds alot like my disclaimer. I copyrighted that.
-
oooooo exciting stuff! So far there are just overbanks in terms of inversion looking things right? Looking at the layout you would expect it to have inversions but now I would be surprised if it had any!

Impractical jokers is getting on my nerves. I just want to watch a fat guy say 'screw you guys, I'm going home' but I cant without watching 4 weirdos throw bananas at strangers.

New for 2016 - Park-Wide Improvements
pognoi replied to MarkC's topic in Chessington World of Adventures
The magic carpet has a lid on it and is now called jungle bus though. -
They've stopped doing the free tickets for MAP-P Holders but continue to sell them. Anyone know if this is simply because the 'event' has ended on the booking page or because they are just trying to get the money ones gone now?

Top pic looks like some raw mandem

Can Chessington been thrown in there as an option or nah?
