Shut the hell up Marc. If you think thats the best thing you can think of that the park needs to improve then you really are to obsessed with watching staff.What I think needs to be improved, by Mark Gilbert.- Rides. The rides are either in a diabolical state or heading in that direction. If I was in control of Chessington's budget I would really thnik about a repaint of just about everything. Skyway in particular really needs something because the trains with their faded yellow bodies just look awful. Runaway train's rockwork really needs painting, Rattlesnake needs new cars with new restraints to bring down its height restriction. Bubbleworks just needs to be redone completely, Vampire is in an ok state but it really needs the lighting to be toned down. This is supposed to be a dark, gothic ride but its lit up like a late night gay parade. Beanoland, in particular Billys Whizzer and Madhouse need a repaint along with Trucks, Carousel and Jumbos. Berries needs to be burnt down and replaced by something interesting.-Animal land. I love the animals at Cwoa and I really feel that the animals need larger enclosures or more in the enclosure itself to keep the animals entertained. Creature Features last year was a really interesting way of changing the interactivity between guests and animals and I hope this continues way into next year.- New rides. For the love of god Chessington needs this. We can argue either way about Thorpe down the road for ride lovers, but Chessie needs ride investment. The current line-up is full of diversity but with only two rides really catering for thrill seekers, this needs to be bulstered up. There are some prime locations such as Rodeo's old site, the grass outside Land of the Dragons or removing Peeking Heights. But this needs to be done fast.- Staffing. One thing I realised this year was that the staff don't care enough about the people coming through the gates. This needs to be altered if the park wants to keep up its good reputation with guests. Older, more "mature" staff need to be bought in because as one guest wrongfully put it "they close the rides just so they can go get drunk."-Restraunts/Healthy food. The park needs a more diverse range of restraunts. Ritas chicken/rib bar and the Glasshouse that people will pay more for better food, and it is something that needs to be considered at Chessington. At the moment the only real proper sit down restraunt is the pub. I've eaten there and I don't think the food is that good to be honest. Something like Alton's restraunt would be awesome, I would certainly eat there.-Toilets. A strange thing to put down I agree but I will say it... CWOA needs more toilets. The ones there are in quite bad conditions and are not in good ways. The Market Square one for instance has only 3 cubicles and 7 urinals. Considering this is the centre of the park and a main meeting place this really needs to be improved. More toilets need to also be added to Animal Land, Toytown and Mexicana. -Theming. Chessington's theming in some place is awesome (The Buddha and Dragon), average (LOTD) and sometimes down right appalling (Peeking Heights, Bubbleworks.) The park needs to become more consistent with what it adds. Thorpe can get away with it, but Kids like to be immersed in a different world. I've seen many delighted faces at Runaway when they walk in and under the track like a real mine. This needs to be continued with new additions to the park.These are just a few ideas bouncing my head currently though.
