Matt 236 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 What a day for fake news, first that WC16 name & description, now this. What next, Air gets an airport theme & their food loop becomes themed around an airport baggage reclaim? Jack F and Adam P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 According to chessington buzz the new ride is a Zamperla Water Mania... is this true??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermanTheGerman Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Well, it's not the first time I've heard this rumour... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yeah I just read this too. Would be a good choice for the park as they are high capacity at 48 riders per ride, something the park lacks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 They're crap/boring/pointless though... We've already learnt that Splash Battles in the UK are silly additions, just because they're on a set of Teacups doesn't make them any better... Uninspiring choice if they are to be believed, which I don't, since they've got a fair amount wrong before... Jack F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I've not had the 'pleasure' of one of those before, looks pretty dire though. If they actually moved on plates and could be spun like teacups that'll seem a pretty neat idea, but this very much doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I don't know, I thought the one at Thomas Land was great fun. Much better then a splash battles, and if you're put in a good group on a hot day they're pretty fun. I think it's opinions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I guess if this is cra*p Chessington Buzz can't get any worse than TPC.. IMO it would be a pointless additon. Chessington needs loads of things, this ain't one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Splash Battles are great fun, but only in the right weather! This could be a good addition for Chessington, but I haven't actually been on one of the Zamperla ones before so can't comment on that.

JoshC. Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 The phrase "better`than nothing" springs to mind. It would be a neat little attraction, I'd enjoy going on it in warm weather, and it would probably be a well-received thing, but it's simply not what the park needs.

dragon2000 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Please no. Would much prefer something like a Sky Fly too. Not a fan of getting wet at the theme park (I know some people are). One day I pray that we can get a decent capacity family coaster. JoshuaA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I thought it was the Mack version, either way I agree it's better than nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I would say better than nothing, but for me it isn't as I'm never going to actually go on it so it might as well be nothing. I wasn't expecting much, but I was hoping for something I'd at least consider riding once. OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry-go-girl Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I'm not a huge fan of rides that are weather dependent, this is the UK after all. And this thing looks like a kiddies washing machine simulator, I don't see much universal appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk3 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 How cheap/nasty/boring/rubbish - delete as applicable. Spend the money on bringing three trains back to the Vampire (or something/anything else). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Who exactly is running/making the final decisions at Chessington? They need to be fired, as they obviously have no idea what the park actually needs. At least it will make Mystic East look much better than it's current state of utter disrepair.. Oh wait, it won't.

MattyMoo Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Maybe their thinking is by having a "new" water ride, people won't mind so much when they have to shut Dragon Falls for a refurb and/or to work on (or destroy ) the Tomb Blaster building. Even with that in mind, as already said, this isn't what CWoA needs right now. Could be worse though, could be a year round maze, right?!

Even better I'd take the present two trains being run efficiently instead of a 90 minute queue being acceptable on a wet weekend in October. dk3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I actually would actually prefer a year round maze to this, at least a year round maze will be good year round. Our British weather will mean this will be unpopular until the summer,(even then its hit and miss when it is hot). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashleyrose-66 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 The Facebook page - Chessington Buzz have said that Chessington have removed all details regarding a new ride for 2016 from their website. Speculation is that it's been pulled and there will be no new attraction next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 There is no new attraction next year, it was cancelled and the budget went to improving old attractions - very positive change indeed.
