Really wanted to visit this event all year, but lack of interest from friends resulted in just two of us going. Still a really good day, but park operations were beyond poor. Really surprised at chessington. We arrived at 11 after a long 75 minute journey from Woking. Got to the park to see queues of 50 for DF and 40 for Kobra, not a good start. Along with this, advertised at entrance that Vampire and Rameses would be 'down all day'. Really dissapointing, two of the major rides that make up a older visitors day. Nonetheless we got on the Black Bucanner which was fun and also the Runaway train before queueing to go in Hocus Pocus - Bewitched. This was a great attraction for families, as it was last year. The theming outside was really great, the park had gone to alot of effort, with witch actors and a smoke machine enternating the kids outside the hall. One really postitive note was the halloween theming all around the park, it was splendid. Everywhere you looked there was a pumpkin or a figure or something, it really created a nice, special atmosphere at the park. Lighting was also good.However, by this time, DF was 90, Kobra 75 and Tomb was 100. So we did Tuk Tuk, Monkey and the lorikeets, whilst waiting for the pizza line to die down. Fury had just evaced its queueline for the second time as we entered wild asia, but as we left, it was testing, result. We were the 20th people in the line, yet still queued 15/20 minutes as express pass were queuing out of the entrance and exit passes by the photo booth! Pizza was good, did falls and peeking, got some good pictures. Did Toadies for nostalgic purposes and the fact that it was our last ever ride on it Rameses tested and opened at about 5 which was good. Did a couple more rides, included rameses and Kobra in the dark, both of which were excellent, despite Kobra being taimed with the new wheels. To summarise...+ve-Staff were simply amazing, brilliant. Interaction, brilliant actors throughout the park, not just in the hocus pocus and always asking 'how is your day' and saying 'sorry about vampire and dragons fury'. Which just makes things a bit more enjoyable and special-Halloween theming and shows etc. Really good effort that all the kids I saw enjoyed. -ve-Operations - oversell of express pass/exit passes (I know this can't be helped, but still annoying) and vampire being closed all day. Overall a really good day, will be returning next year RC: Black Buccaneer 3Dragon Falls 2Rameses 2Kobra 1Fury 1Tomb 1Lorikeet 1Monkey Swinger 1Tuk Tuk 1Rattlesnake 1 Peeking 1Runaway 1 Toadies 1Hocus Pocus 1Trick or Treat show 1A few pictures... (camera quality sorry guys) - Trick or Treat Show - Rameses all pretty at night BB looking spooky at dusk - lots of smoke coming from vampire tunnel, shame it would of been awesome to ride. - Lovely day, great view from peeking. - Fury peaked at 120 minutes Dragon falls area looking great. Artistic hey? - New wheels = no airtime on hill :cry - Lorikeets were lively! - DF drop - HPHB looking excellent. - Witches entertaining the kids. - fantastic theming - last picture showing the massive pumpkin above the chessington shop! Hope you enjoyed reading.

Went to that park yesterday from about 3 until close. Had a really really good time. The park was moderately busy, but enough so that you would appreciate the attractions, not enough to piss you off. Got on all 5 mazes which were fun as they always are. Dead end had improved since last visit as did Hellgate. Really impressed with the park, although still a lack of theming. Great atmosphere and overall a great night. RC:Hellgate x 2 (much improved on last thursday, best maze of the night)Asylum x 2 (pretty dismal actually, but mainly due to slow groups infront)Se7en x 1Curse x 1Alive x 1Dead End x 1Quantum x 2Zodiac x 1Samurai x 1Loggers x 1Rush x 1Will defo be heading back at least one more time for half term.

About to go on park! Will do a review tommorow, hopefully will be better than last Thursday.

That spinner looks shocking. But the park overall looks great.

Wahey!

You player going to Chessie with 3 ladies!

Disgraceful, but glad you had a good day.

Inferno and Colossus on one train?

Sounds like Chessie was busier than Thorpe yesterday!

Follow me on twitter please http://twitter.com/#!/jackhoneywellI will follow you guys back

I will do a full review later but mixed reviews about last night. The terror zone is the biggest load of crap I have seen in my life. I think Thorpe's worst cock up in history. However Se7en was brilliant.

Apprentice time.

[MESSAGE FROM RYAN] These posts have been moved from trip report topic, enjoy discussing! [MESSAGE FROM RYAN]Thorpe just love one train operation.

How did you have a 'really good day' if you felt the need to complain?

I am slightly drunk...

Please no...

Zamperla. Nice idea, poor design. The boats only seat four people and that drop finale is actually rather rough!
