Maybe they're being affected by the crunch, lack of credit and all that.. and decided to close a less popular attraction which has the most valuable assets in it?

www.invisional.co.uk ftw.

Thats one massively huge Disk'O! Must take time out to go over there at somepoint this year.

Ahh there's currently a large vampire support currently leaning against the treasure chest building as well, I hope thats not late opening!

Different parts of website says different things.

The amount of contracted hours I do means I'm eligible for benefits, but yeah I get to work for a minimal amount of hours every week. Time to find another job

Gah really pissed off with waitrose at the moment! A blanket overtime ban has been put into effect, meaning I can only work my contracted hours (which are stupid stupid things), and therefore I can barely afford rent let alone bloody living expenses each month.Worst still, is that my dept is understaffed anyway, and they're wanting people from checkouts cross-trained to do what I can do a thousand times better due to more indepth training. Just to save a fiver or so per hour, but losing out on the customer service and product knowledge, and pissing off a few of their highly valuable flexible staff, which can do *everything* in their departments! GAH!

Hmm.. my 19th was perfect. My today wasn't so, rant in the rant topic ftw

**** H&S, its the annoying bane of all our lives. Dodgems rock arse.

And a small house owned by Chessington

booster biiikkkesss

Still not entirely convinced by that arguement (hence, why has the zoo only days over the winter been reduced from everyday to weekends only now?). I'd like to have seen the jump in attendance if fury opened last year. Different economies, different world I suppose.

Oh so thats how they get the creme eggs into the mcflurrys..

And as for counting their pennies, they'd be counting a hell of a lot. 07 season made £14m profit for them, and 08 is predicted to be in its 30s.Chessington and merlin are fine, just hoping that Blackstone hasn't been affected too much by the credit crunch. Remember its an investment company, which are having to write down their assets pretty much every month, and have posted losses recently due to this!

Oh Ian went? Might've missed out on a decent trip then. Still, towers ftw.

Is it? As far as I'm aware its only been last year. Bubbleworks was deffo open at beginning of year of 06 and 07, otherwise I must've dreamt working on them.

Marketing were trying to do a deal with nickelodeon for 2010 last year, but I'd like to hope that they didn't succeed.

As I constantly say, chessington changed their marketing view and the idea of the park last year or end of 07 to a more universal catering theme park. Not that it has been shown much, apart from the dumping of all the childrens advertising such as "under 12s go free", "98% of rides suitable for children under 12" and crap.

Shall not be attending, working followed by going to towers!

Alternatively, they could give something to look at up there, like.. to do with the ride you're on, rather than looking into toytown or a metal roof.

Yes.

Has James ever seen the footprint of Chessington? It is massive! (Can see the proper boarder on the applications for that arena thing).As for fill.. legolands rapids is on a major hill, I think they managed to build it successfully

The ride goes around once, stops, swings.. goes forwards and backwards.. over, water thing.. stopped.. is the setting at the park. That video is near exact to that.. I cant see any major differences, and I hope I bloody know the cycle after watching it daily a year ago.

Thats pretty much exactly how the usual setting is run now?

Makes it easier for the guests to locate, I'm sure staff know where an attraction is without needing to know area names.
