According to Coasterforce, Flight of the Terosaur (suspended) had its first test-run today. No idea if it's true or not!

Great vid. Will the backwards part be quite slow? I think the Ben 10 coaster is fairly tame for that part.

Not a massive fan of haunts generally. Absolutely no idea why people would want to go into a haunt knowing that they will get electric shocks!!

I'm hopeful for 2017, but not optimistic! It is rapidly dropping down the list of top UK themeparks. They need to do something or Paultons especially will overtake them.

I quite liked Big One! First drop is fantastic!

Thanks for the update. It is incredible to see how fast it is coming along. The comparison with Coasterforce's recent update shows this. It amazes me to think they've scheduled an Easter opening!! There's already trains on the track.

The trouble is you can't keep planning permission under wraps. If they have made an application, will be online.

Can you imagine the negative tabloid reports if they opened Smiler for Scarefest!

Do they need permission for every ride which goes in? Also, as there was previously a ride there, do they need planning to put a ride in its place? If my garage fell down, I wouldnt need planning permission to replace it.

Exciting!! Hopefully will see more pics now there is something interesting to look at. No luck for me either with the game!

Considering the ridiculous queues for some of their small flats, they could install a bouncy castle and it will probably be popular. I've low expectations so can only be impressed!

The original carpet was great... But the lapbars felt quite spacious! Id love to see a decent flat in that space but just can't see it happening.

Is there any news on this? I've tried to find some recent updates and there isn't much about. Along with Thorpe this seems to be the biggest uk developments for 2016 but is quite quiet at the moment from an update point of view.

I love Chessington but it really saddens me what is happening at the moment. Clearly it is still a popular park but they have had so many operation & reliability issues that the negativity (esp. on facebook) is increasing. I really hope they sort it out but I can't see their new for 2016 ride being anything spectacular.
