Chaz Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Guys, guys, guys. Please don't get too excited. The new attraction isn't anything amazing. It's been done before and It'll be done again I'm sure. Â I don't want to post a cryptic post of anything (I know how annoying they can be), I just don't want people getting hyped. I wish it was a new flat or a new coaster or something amazing, but just think about recent investments and you'll be on the right lines.

dk3 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I've said it before and I'll say it again - they should bring back the Magic Carpet! It fitted perfectly in Mystic East and lasted 10 years. Who cares if you lost your sunglasses/wallet? pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 The magic carpet has a lid on it and is now called jungle bus though. Merry-go-girl, Matt 236, Kerfuffle and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJ Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 The original Magic Carpet was a thrill ride and the same (if not bigger) model at Quantum at Thorpe Park JoshC. and dk3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk3 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 The original Magic Carpet was a thrill ride and the same (if not bigger) model at Quantum at Thorpe Park Indeed - the Jungle Bus thing was a joke - I think some believe it! I'd love to see either the return of [a fixed] Samurai or a new Magic Carpet. Both have been proven successes at the park in that very same spot.

Nosferatu Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I rode the magic carpet once back in the 90's and absolutely HATED it. I honestly felt like I was going to fly out. Â Probably my least enjoyable ride experience ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover2012 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 The original carpet was great... But the lapbars felt quite spacious! Id love to see a decent flat in that space but just can't see it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.S312 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I think it may be a refurb Samurai coming back to Chessie. I wouldn't mind this tbh as I go to Chessie more than Thorpe nowadays as it is closer to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JoshC. Posted August 20, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how anyone can seriously think Samurai is returning to Chessington? It just seems like people are putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5. If Samurai returns to Chessington, I'll eat my hat.

Chaz Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Samurai is 100% not coming back to Chessington. It isn't in their target to have a thrill ride. Samurai is hardly holding up at Thorpe (in fact, it isn't holding up). No. Just No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TPJames Posted August 21, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Samurai is hardly holding up at Thorpe (in fact, it isn't holding up). That's why it would suit chessington perfectly. It would be surrounded by so many other rides which are all about to kill themselves at any moment yeah, OldFarmerDean, Chaz and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Samurai should never of left Chessington in the first place. It suited the mystic east area way better than the bland lost city. Chaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover2012 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Considering the ridiculous queues for some of their small flats, they could install a bouncy castle and it will probably be popular. I've low expectations so can only be impressed! OldFarmerDean, JoshC., Ian-S and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Chessington Buzz have just posted on their website that planning permission has been submitted to extend the chicken shack and build a grillhouse. http://www.chessingtonbuzz.co.uk/news/restaurant-extension-planning-begins/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 MattGWise beat me to it. Here is a full image via Chessington Buzz. The planning shows the locker area in market square will be removed for the extension which I believe will be done to the Chicken Shack. There's been mentions also of a grill or something so maybe we will be looking at an increased selection of food too. I do think Chessie a proper full restaurant these days , compared to other Merlin parks recently and that many eateries are starting to struggle with crowds lately, so these changes can only be good things (part of me thinks the loss of Creaky hasn't helped a lot).
