Whatever Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 This sounds awesome, though I really do not see the point on yet MORE accommodation. Great to see that a new roller coaster is being planned though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 So in the next 10 years, 10, we might see a new coaster on that field by Fury, lots more accommodation and a bit of work done to the car park. Exciting 10 years ahead then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see that a new roller coaster is being planned though!They want to make it a resort, as Towers is the only proper resort they have (and they don't own it), and all Chessie needs to become one is a full on waterparkSent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Can anyone pinpoint any potential manufacturers for those two concepts based on the pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Can anyone pinpoint any potential manufacturers for those two concepts based on the pictures?Well one has what looks like Maurer track but Vekoma booster bike trains badly Photoshopped on, so Id say Vekoma because Merlin do this alot (See Vekoma Galactica), and other has track that looks like Arrow to me which I highly doubt.Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Can anyone pinpoint any potential manufacturers for those two concepts based on the pictures? I'd imagine the quad bike coaster will be Intamin. Same as Juvelen. Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'd imagine the quad bike coaster will be Intamin. Same as Juvelen. Never heard of Juvelen tbh, and didnt know Intamin did those? Either way, I don't think it'll be Intamin and it DEFINETLY wont be B&M. It looks like it'll be themed to Cheetahs or Kraken though.Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeah Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 And that's a similar type of track... But tbh, with Chessies budget I can't see them getting an Intamin, B&M, or Mack. Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Juvelen looks like a good family coaster, something like that would be a good investment for Chessington IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Mack and Intamin don't have to be expensive. Loads of smaller parks are building Mack megacoasters like Nigoland. And Intamin only get pricey on new tech and bigger rides, a family launched wouldn't be that much for a company second only to Merlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Looking at the plans, these seem to be the same trains as Juvelen. Juvelen clone (or least the same type of coaster) is very likely! yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally the bigger budgets go to Thorpe and Alton. Out of interest, how likely is it we'll ever see a coaster with an inversion at Chessie? It is a FAMILY park after all.Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 The two concepts have used Juvelen and Flying Dutchman at Efteling as their basis because that's what they are, basic concept. Nothing can be read into a layout or manufacturer as they're just pretty images highlighting the type of ride they're looking into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project LC Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 As 10 year plans go that is a very empty plan. 1 coaster and some accommodation over the space of 10 years?! I think I can safely cross chessington off my watch list, best of luck to them in there very busy 10 years ahead of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably the first things coming, or the "headlines" so to speak that they'll promote to the council etc.Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterio Ka Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 The LDP explicitly says 5-10 years. It could be within 5 years, and as with the likes of Towers and Thorpe planning permission here may not be required for smaller attractions (although it's been so long since they got a ride I can't even remember how it works). I really wish people would put their chin up and be just a little more optimistic when long awaited material is given to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beg for a coaster for years, we get one, we moan because that's all we get. Pathetic, I for one have set my expectations high but not too high. I have no doubt that we'll get a well themed and thrilling family coaster, but I'm not expecting a big manufacturer or anything.Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hooray investment! I'm sure the updates will be outstanding judging from most of the last investments we got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 From Wikipedia, so of course, possibly (probably) false " In May 2016, drafts of a long term development plan were displayed in the Safari Hotel for neighbors' input. The plans highlighted the installation of a new roller coaster, possibly two. A new major attraction in 'Africa' as well as a large feature close by Hocus Pocus Hall. Safari Lodges are proposed behind 'Zufari'. Tiny Truckers, the Carousel, Peeking Heights and Toadie's Crazy Cars are expected to be removed to make way for these developments.[48]Plans to remove the Carousel are already underway, with installation of a replacement Carousel in the centre of Market Square (as opposed to behind the Square Gift Shop) already submitted for approval. Bubbleworks is set to close on September 6, 2016 with the Factory "coming under new management" for March 2017. The ride system will remain, but the ride will receive a full re-theme to the children's storybook The Gruffalo." What do you guys think?

Mattgwise Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 It's part of the development plan that was put in earlier this year. It looks like you've commented on it above. Anyway the official document from the Chessington site. Unless you're solely referring to the gruffallo bit at the bottom in which case time will tell. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.chessington.com/downloads/plan/local-residents/future-development-display-boards-2016.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwichrv34srOAhWoDcAKHbLtDSEQFggaMAA&usg=AFQjCNHjK8-tThRkIS0Gf_nM17hGHh1ZQQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
