Or to counter that argument - chessington is for families with kids up to about 12ish (maybe older, cant remember official line). Kids hit 1.4m when they're about 8, so the older kids can go on these rides. These family rides. As it's a family park. Family.
Bored/irritated of the old IT'S THRILLING IT SHOULDN'T BE THERE/RUN LIKE THIS thing. That's what ruined chessington in the first place, whilst alienating half of their actual audience .

Every park always seemingly does this! Oh spending too much money and not enough variation, make the ride staffing areas bigger.. oh wait, they don't function correctly and there's no accountability, make all staffing areas smaller and more close-nit.
Step in the right direction though, smaller ride teams work far better.

Parks advertise at different times - Thorpe (I presume you wanna know thorpe seeing as it's in this thread) will start mid December according to their old peoplebank page!
-
Definitely homemade tuna pasta bake. Literally my favourite, from childhood until now! Could never turn it down!!
-
Obviously they do have the choice of being able to improve clearance of the tunnel if it needs replacing - but as is mentioned in this topic, obviously funds do not seemingly exist for this - it'd naturally cost more to increase clearance due to more materials being used.
Which leads meaning it'd only be cost efficient to replace it like-for-like. As the tunnel hasn't been removed previously, it means that clearance is obviously perfectly acceptable otherwise it'dve been removed or ride stopped operating.
This means it's purely down to lack of maintenance, or lack of effort to change like-for-like. We've gone full circle, without need of post above .
-
However, it obviously is doable otherwise it wouldn't exist or the ride wouldn't continue to run!
-
I said merlin to a lesser extent - as there's been examples at the other parks where you do see stuff being replaced even if they don't exactly need to be there.
Thorpe doesn't seem to have this same attitude as the other parks, whether it's down to pure budgets or whether there's a different mindset.. who knows. It's actually a pretty grown up thing to point this out really
-
They will only have a couple of the new boats on the system as they're only modified to allow children of a smaller height onto the boat - I think they seat less adults as a result as well?
This was one of the things I never thought they'd bother with - but imagine it was a funding from central merlin seeing as all three Mack flumes received these boats.
-
Dunno. Who cares, it's only an attraction.
