No offence to Legoland! Just in my opinion even that isn’t looking at it’s best at present. Just my opinion, sorry!

Whilst, it would be great for them to have a real investment, I think it's fair to say that of all the Merlin parks, Chessington is looking the most complete package and fresh currently, even if that has just meant retheming rides and areas. I think that the addition of a new attraction together with the Sealife ride will be a great addition, just not quite sure how the drop tower crocodile theme will really fit with the current area as of yet.

As much as Rameses has been faithful over the years to Chessington, it's really struggling now and in the last few weeks has suffered quite a bit of downtime, so it's definitely time for it to go. Like others have said, I'm pretty sure if they could keep it running, they would have kept it at CWoAR rather than transferring it to TP.

Oh what a shame! Not like Alton have been the most forthcoming in their replies on twitter as usual. Be nice if they told people the situation, but hey thanks for the update.

Anyone heard anything about what is up with Wicker Man, being down the last few days. I’m visiting Tues-Thurs this week and would be gutted if it’s closed all 3 days.

Still interested to know how much this will cost and how large group sizes will be. Has anyone heard anything further on this at all. I know that it’s the press night for it this Sunday, but tickets to yet to be released for the supposed Monday opening which seems quite late!

Haha yes I can definitely associate with this! I remember this situation well myself! But yes looks like it’s the end

Yes I noticed! Especially since it says 3rd still and then you click the link and it suddenly becomes 13th....I think they decided to quietly change this to not make it obvious it had been pushed back! I plan on visiting on the 17th to give it a go and see what it’s like.

So with jungle escape coming soon in May to fill the once IAC building, had anyone seen or heard anymore about it. There are obviously now boards up around the area showing concept art, but thought this would be a good space to discuss the new upcoming attraction.

The new advert is terrible! If they say “like no other” anymore times I think I might strangle someone ?

Planning on visiting this Friday for the opening day! Never been to opening day before as usually working, does anyone know how busy it will be? Wasn’t expecting it to be that busy considering it’s a Friday, but I don’t really know!

Sounds like an amazing opening preview day! I am really looking forward to visiting on Friday for the firstborn official day of the season. I ageee some of the changes are not ones I like the sound of, however if the throughputs can be improved but not always removing trains during the operating day then great. Roll on Friday!

Wow that looks awful! The trucking metal is really unattractive!

Yeah I just tried it too and said link was expired

Saw this this morning. Think this is a really good offer and should help to boost visitor numbers this season despite there being no new attractions as such. For those without a season pass or MAP this looks to be a very good option!

That is very good going! I haven’t been yet, but was expecting to see the odd goblin on a lamppost still! So that’s great to see!

I highly doubt that, as this has been on there for the corporate events they offer for companies etc. They were offering this over Christmas in 2018, so I don't think this is related. They offer the fastback (q-jump) to the corporate packages. Also I would say they look more like stars than snow, sorry to disappoint! I think it is most likely going to be summer nights returning, but again I could be wrong.

Yeah just seen it! Another event like fireworks or something in summer. Perhaps it’s a retheme of stealth who knows. I would say most likely an official announcement about summer lates

Oh wow guys thank you so much! Feel really welcomed already! Sounds like hey See great fun! Everyone seems a really nice too which is lovely! So how do we know when meets are coming up do they just get posted on the trips page or is there a calendar of them already set? Sorry for all the questions!

I’m still yet to go on DBGT Every time I’ve gone, I’ve either been in the queue and it’s gone down or it’s closed when I get to it! I literally gave up with it especially after hearing such bad reviews of it anyway. Doesn’t sound like I missed out on much.

Haha I never am late! But yeah sounds good!

Agreed....poor Thorpe just seems to have been left of late!

Hey! So fairly new back to the forum, never been to one of the meets and a little nervous to meet a load of people for the first time! I am not shy, just not something I have done before, I saw it is possible to organise a small meet up on a day with a few maybe going the same day, does this usually work and have people done it in the past? All new to me!

I think what’s interesting about this response is not loggers or development related and that’s the fact for the first time they’ve properly mentioned about their 40th birthday and the fact they have some sort of ‘unmissable experiences’ this year. So be interesting to see what it is they are actually not telling us yet.

Was very excited to find this today on Apple Music! Don’t know how long it’s been there or how it got there but brought back some amazing memories from my childhood! Has anyone noticed this? I would love them to bring back the rangers for the birthday celebrations, but seeming less and less likely! Anyone got any great stories or remember these banging tunes! How’s
