September 10, 20159 yr comment_217297 Well if the new ride turns out to be anything like that picture, we may find ourselves rather disappointed.
September 18, 20159 yr comment_217929 Hi there Does anyone know if Chessington are selling bounce back tickets this year? if so any idea how much they are ? xx
September 19, 20159 yr comment_217950 I do believe they are selling them, and from my memory outside Lodge Gate it says they are £12 down the side of a feedback monitor.
September 25, 20159 yr Author comment_218836 So plans have now been submitted for a new high ropes course in the south car park! Is this the only addition we will be seeing in 2016?
September 25, 20159 yr comment_218839 I think what's far more interesting is the size of the land that they bought with it...
September 25, 20159 yr comment_218842 So plans have now been submitted for a new high ropes course in the south car park! Is this the only addition we will be seeing in 2016?Interesting, but I'd much rather see them invest in the park.
September 25, 20159 yr comment_218849 I'm interested to where this large swath of land the HRC will be going on is located. Anyone able to doodle a google maps sketch?
September 25, 20159 yr comment_218850 Interesting, but I'd much rather see them invest in the park. As much as I agree, merlin are probably are just intrested in pumping money in to the overpriced hotel. And spending the rest on retheming rides that didn't need to be rethemed,and not retheming the rides that do need a spruce up. The ropes course isn't too bad I guess, but the park is crumbling to pieces.
September 25, 20159 yr comment_218852 In their trading update the other day, Merlin announced that the park will receive a major investment in 2017, so it isn't being entirely forgotten.
September 25, 20159 yr comment_218854 In their trading update the other day, Merlin announced that the park will receive a major investment in 2017, so it isn't being entirely forgotten. Wow, merlin are actually gonna invest in there park.
September 25, 20159 yr comment_218855 As eB said, this investment is alongside the 2016 attraction that is going into the park. So they are investing in both the resort side of things and the park side of things, it would seem. I've nothing against the High Rope Courses, they're fun things to do and I'm sure no one staying at the hotel would be against even more choice whilst staying there.
September 26, 20159 yr comment_218869 Well they are there to make money. If they think people will pay for it then they are going to charge.
September 26, 20159 yr comment_218880 In their trading update the other day, Merlin announced that the park will receive a major investment in 2017, so it isn't being entirely forgotten. They say this now... that's before the inevitable cost-cutting and budget-restraints when/if it comes to fruition.
September 26, 20159 yr comment_218884 Let's just remember that Zufari was a major addition, that suffered budget cuts, and we all know how that panned out. If the same people are working on a major new attraction, then I certainly don't hold up any hope. If there's one thing Chessington have shown us time and time again, is that they haven't got a clue. They should remind themselves how the park once looked, and strive to achieve that. High ropes course and some ride spruce ups. Yay. Oh I forgot about next years new attraction.. I can't wait to see that..
October 9, 20159 yr comment_220220 Is there any news on this or have Merlin abandoned it altogether? Sent from my SM-T533 using Tapatalk
October 17, 20159 yr comment_221138 So... a Sky Fly at Chessie for 2016 - that looks incredibly like Samurai (well, the main arm does), where Samurai used to be? https://www.facebook.com/ChessingtonArchives/posts/1025219724185147
October 17, 20159 yr comment_221144 Those pictures have 'John Burton Creative' written on them. John does many designs like these I believe, but they are all of course 100% unofficial. (Check his Facebook for more awesome stuff! )
