Dragon's Fury was a walk on and I had an exam today. Ok, I need to visit Chessington a.s.a.p. if Dragon's Fury is a walk on! :DOh... Glad you did not get attacked by bees and wasps!

Glad you did not get attacked by bees and wasps! So was Vampire... Well, everything was.Regarding the spinning of the cars on Dragon's Fury, is it all to do with spreading the weight proportionately or does time the time of day have an effect (ie. once its warmed up as it where)?

Well, everything was.Regarding the spinning of the cars on Dragon's Fury, is it all to do with spreading the weight proportionately or does time the time of day have an effect (ie. once its warmed up as it where)?Whoever you were replying to about the spinning of the cars. There is a big poster saying...'To spin or Not to spin... That is the question'. On saying once warmed up - I agree with that as I find Dragon's Fury to feel faster and smoother after a few hours of being open. However, You can usually guaranteed a good ride on Dragon's Fury.Whereas Vampire, usually you get a better ride after it has been open for 2 hours.Usually, when I am the first on Vampire, It is still a good ride but not as good until after about 2 hours of operating.

Got MANY stay on rides. And yeah its to do with the weight. Had one spinny as hell ride when there was the two of us sitting on the same side and no one on the other side.
June 17, 200916 yr comment_60623 I can safely say there were no reports of bee attacks today and lucky for me, once again, Dragon's Fury was walk on!Spinball was 45 minute queue today lol. Walk on for the better ride is something I fully agree with.
June 17, 200916 yr comment_60658 Fury walk-on is every fans dream!Out of all the times I have visited Chessington. I have only ever had a Dragon's Fury walk on twice!Then again, I am usually at school.Glad on study leave so should make trips up shortly!
June 18, 200916 yr comment_60678 Yeah also went today and had a great day, As you say literally EVERYTHING was walk on! Got MANY stay on rides. And yeah its to do with the weight. Had one spinny as hell ride when there was the two of us sitting on the same side and no one on the other side.Thats why I mentioned the time of day, as it doesnt seem to spin as wildly with two people on one side in the mornings. Still doesnt lose it enjoyment though!
June 18, 200916 yr comment_60682 Thats why I mentioned the time of day, as it doesnt seem to spin as wildly with two people on one side in the mornings. Still doesnt lose it enjoyment though!The more the ride runs, the warmer the wheels and barings in the car get so yeah it does tend to be a bit more spinny in the afternoon then in the morning. It's the same on Spinball Whizzer.
June 18, 200916 yr comment_60771 Do people not believe the ride was actually shut because there was a bee swarm?
July 24, 200916 yr comment_64275 A while a go I remember reading somewhere that Dragon's Fury had a single rider que, is this true ? Thanks
July 24, 200916 yr comment_64278 A while a go I remember reading somewhere that Dragon's Fury had a single rider que, is this true ? Thanks It did used to but it was removed in 2005 as it had minimal impact on queue length and throughputs.
August 1, 200916 yr comment_65162 going down the first drop yesterday near the photo point I hit my hand on a branch or something. it really hurt, I guess thats why you should keep your hands inside the car
August 11, 200916 yr comment_65953 Why does *Fragons Dury (also Spinball Whizzer or any Mauhroh Sohne Ride) have a 1.9m Maximum height limit?*Dragons Fury - Sorry!
August 11, 200916 yr comment_65955 The Maurer Sohne spinner cars are quite cramped/small and its a tight fit even for me at just over 1.7.I have seen them allow people over 1.95cm ( the height limit) on before but under certain circumstances I'm not sure of.

(And he was just 1.95m). However, this was a few seasons ago.
August 12, 200916 yr comment_66021 There's a few reasons really.1. If they are tall their head won't be supported by the headrest.2. If they have long legs the bar might not go down the required three clicks.3. It's a very tight squeeze for most guests but for tall guests it may be very uncomfortable.The Maximum height restriction isn't as strict as the minimum restriction because the staff explain to guests all the above when they get in the car.
