July 12, 20241 yr comment_319624 Must be something substantial for this to be happening. Not ideal to be closed during the peak of the school holidays, let alone as one of the park’s main attractions and flagship water ride. Chessington really haven’t had the best of seasons this year, then again it’s perhaps been a since they have.
July 13, 20241 yr comment_319631 If something has broken on it that's right rotten luck. Though that it has an exact reopening date on it is suspect.

Possibly, but the way they've butchered capacity on it, maybe not. 1 hour ago, Benin said: Though that it has an exact reopening date on it is suspect. Tbf they've done this a few times with rides, giving an exact date for reopening. Rarely has it been right. Tomb Blaster had about 3 reopening dates advertised before it opened this season, and even then they opened it on a date not advertised. Regardless of the cause, it's a massive hit against the park to have their main water ride (and in practicality, pretty much their only water ride) closed for summer. Highlights the need for another one.
July 13, 20241 yr comment_319639 Oh dear what a nightmare for anyone visiting over the busy summer 😬 It’s bad enough for queues when everything working. The more time that goes on, the more bizarre the Mandril decision seems to get - what an absolutely dreadful decision it was to go with that ride type given the capacity issues that have plagued the park for years.
