October 17, 20159 yr comment_221151 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?
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221331 According to chessington buzz the new ride is a Zamperla Water Mania... is this true???
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221335 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.
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221338 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...
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221341 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.
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221342 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.
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221344 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.
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221351 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.
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221411 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.
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221420 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.
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221436 I thought it was the Mack version, either way I agree it's better than nothing
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221441 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.
October 19, 20159 yr comment_221445 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.
October 20, 20159 yr comment_221462 How cheap/nasty/boring/rubbish - delete as applicable. Spend the money on bringing three trains back to the Vampire (or something/anything else).
October 20, 20159 yr comment_221463 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.
October 20, 20159 yr comment_221467 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?!
October 20, 20159 yr comment_221488 How cheap/nasty/boring/rubbish - delete as applicable. Spend the money on bringing three trains back to the Vampire (or something/anything else). 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.
October 20, 20159 yr comment_221509 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).
November 20, 20159 yr comment_223674 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!
November 20, 20159 yr comment_223683 There is no new attraction next year, it was cancelled and the budget went to improving old attractions - very positive change indeed.
November 20, 20159 yr comment_223687 There is no new attraction next year, it was cancelled and the budget went to improving old attractions - very positive change indeed. Well it's about flipping time!
November 20, 20159 yr comment_223688 There is no new attraction next year, it was cancelled and the budget went to improving old attractions - very positive change indeed. But... will we be able to tell?! If it's spent wisely then I agree, a very good move.
