September 1, 201510 yr comment_216411 Erm, so I know there's like a million reasons why Samurai won't be going to Chessie, but when I went to Thorpe today (for the first time ever) Samurai had been taken down, which seems pretty suspicious to me...

Samurai has been taken down for "essential maintenance"; it should return to Thorpe in the future. If it leaves, it won't return to Chessington.
September 3, 201510 yr comment_216517 I have no clue where this Samurai is going to back to Chessington idea has sprung from. If Samurai is broken and beyond repair, which would be the reason why it leaves Thorpe in the first place, why would a broken ride be moved to a different park? What would that achieve? An already failing park acquiring a broken ride? How would it being at Chessington rectify the issues its having? Mechanical issues are not caused by location.... LOGIC people, LOGIC!
September 3, 201510 yr comment_216554 Samurai isn't being moved to Chessington... Rameses is being moved to Thorpe. It's in the mid-term development plan for next year.

September 4, 20159 yr comment_216676 Have they actually started construction - or even put in planning permission - yet? I didn't get a chance to go in Mystic East today because I had to pick my sister up from school.
September 4, 20159 yr comment_216680 Have they actually started construction - or even put in planning permission - yet? I didn't get a chance to go in Mystic East today because I had to pick my sister up from school. No.
September 4, 20159 yr comment_216690 Well that's just fantastic, isn't it? So what happens now if they can't get planning permission? Do they just say "Oh sorry guys, no new ride this year, we messed up" or do they move the ride 2 metres to the left and re-submit, LEGOLAND style?
September 4, 20159 yr comment_216701 Do they need permission for every ride which goes in? Also, as there was previously a ride there, do they need planning to put a ride in its place? If my garage fell down, I wouldnt need planning permission to replace it.
September 4, 20159 yr comment_216703 Have they? I haven't heard of any planning permission. Maybe they kept it under wraps for once!

If my garage fell down, I wouldnt need planning permission to replace it. I think they do, there are loads of other factors than space. like traffic,environmental issues, and so many other factors.
September 4, 20159 yr comment_216708 The trouble is you can't keep planning permission under wraps. If they have made an application, will be online.

September 4, 20159 yr comment_216719 It depends on the terms I guess. Towers can build stuff without planning. Smiler didn't need permission other than for the station building. Octanauts had nothing too. Thorpe however have to give details at least of colours, materials etc especially for buildings due to the floorspace issue. Chessington might be able to build smaller stuff, remember we've no idea what this is. It could be basically nothing. Also, permission request could have gone in but the council have yet to put it online. It sometimes takes Runnymede 2-3 weeks. Plus, Thorpe had built The Swarm's billboard before it was approved so you know.
September 6, 20159 yr comment_216816 Although I have a glimmer of hope, I was joking. As if Merlin would give Chessie an addition that good!
September 6, 20159 yr comment_216837 That area where they were doing construction is now another inflatable thing, but I think the best ride for the park would be one similar to th13teen with its own twist to it, maybe a new element and different theming...
September 8, 20159 yr comment_217100 Aha, imagine if that inflatable thing is the new ride next year. New for Chessington 2016 - BOUNCY CASTLE TYPE THING!
