November 24, 20159 yr comment_223876 Have they blocked you... Thorpe park did to some people regarding Derren brown / wc16 stuff... The social media accounts are so bad with inconsistent replies and blocking people etc. No, surprisingly! I'm laughing so much at the thread title

November 24, 20159 yr comment_223890 what matters is the improvements made and it may even surprise your pants off. Also it's actually nearly been completed already as far as I understand it. I hope so! What's concerning about this though is that in my eyes there's plenty needs doing across the park, more than a small army would manage across a closed season, not what could be probably achieved in a couple of weeks since the season ended! 'It' suggests this is concentrating on one area. The activity around bubbleworks is encouraging, but even if that has had a decent fix up it still leaves Vampire, Tomb, Zufari, Skyway, some aspects of the zoo, the carpark, the falls saga, and even the general crappyness of the recently referbed mine train along with a tonne of other little bits about the place needing significant attention. I don't want to be unduly negative, and I do believe that general improvements are a better spend than adding something new for the sake of it, but I have a feeling my pants will remain firmly on when next season begins. Whoever renamed this thread deserves to win the best mod in the forum awards. I wait with bated breath...
November 24, 20159 yr comment_223892 I'd say zufari, scorpion express and most of the zoo is now acceptable to Chessington standards... It's bubbleworks (I guess vampire is okay at the moment), tomb blaster, dragon falls and the kids rides like toadies that need serious attention sooner rather than later! I do certainly hope bubbleworks isn't the only improvement (that's even if it's getting an improvement? We're just presuming since the drops being replaced).
November 24, 20159 yr comment_223893 The work I was mentioning was something bigger that has been going on months longer than just the first few weeks of closed season. Sorry to have to be cryptic, and also I don't know the full details so it isn't my place. Just be assured if Mr Attention-To-Detail (me) loves the change then it will be good, no need to be worried.
November 24, 20159 yr comment_223898 ^ One would assume that would mean something going on with Terror Tomb
November 24, 20159 yr comment_223902 ^ One would assume that would mean something going on with Terror Tomb Paul Daniels, The Ride. Give Thorpe some competition. Handily, for those who remember, Daniels and Chessington already share a catchphrase.
November 25, 20159 yr comment_223920 See... I interpret that as meaning they've decided to do some refurbishments instead. Funny that...
November 25, 20159 yr comment_223921 Bless the social media team. Trying to correct the mistakes of a sometimes incompetent park team. Everyday must be hard as nails.
November 25, 20159 yr comment_223923 What does one expect from a business? Like, look on Trip Advisor for any business and see how many responses are deliberately tailored towards the review...
November 25, 20159 yr comment_223925 Improved Dragon Falls and Tomb Blaster are all I want to see next year tbh. (feel free to add any others if I'm missing any)
November 25, 20159 yr comment_223931 Improved Dragon Falls and Tomb Blaster are all I want to see next year tbh. (feel free to add any others if I'm missing any)Chances are though these will be rides that won't even be open in 2016 with Loggers being shut at Thorpe amongst Flume & the five (too many others) at Towers, so Chessington is bound to have closures next year and these seem to be the most likely with trends and apparent 2017 big investment year. Safe to Say Storm Force 10 will the tallest operating flume next year and Pirate Falls potentially bring the only open one under Merlin.
November 25, 20159 yr comment_223938 "The Falls redesign was cancelled completely." -Me, years ago Also they will just go ahead and read your comments on here so there's no point pretending to not know it was cancelled.
