Kerfuffle Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but looking at Charlie Perks' recent POV of the ride, the Pressure Test music is now back in the Rub-A-Dub Reactor room! EDIT: Also the original version of the Fairground music has been restored (so no more jumping back to the start of the loop...or quacking!!!)...but strangely in the Foamburst Falls section the Bubblehead in the barrel can be heard saying "It's out of this world!" like when the Craterade rocket was there in the Professor Burp days. dk3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HermanTheGerman Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yes, the restored audio is lovely isn't it? Good job Mr. for sorting that out, it took an awful lot of persistence! Oh and not a penny of pay. Why can't we have more people like this in the industry? If only. People who care are in such short supply, it's ridiculous. Well done for pulling through despite all the set backs. Still, one step at a time. SteveJ and dk3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fairground section had no music and neither did the animal spa thing today.Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Does anyone know why the Bath Time sign has gone from above the drop into the fountain room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlesberg Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 People were taking it literally.That must've been rather amusing yet catastrophic at the same time (were there any casualties?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan.B Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I know there was some work going on in the drop area, maybe they had to remove it so they could carry out work and never put it back? OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 The Bathtime sign has gone because they've installed a heavy lifting beam where it used to be, to lift boats off the ramp if necessary. Also, Bathtime everybody. Matt 236, Morgan.B and pognoi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Looks like it! https://www.chessington.com/explore/theme-park/attraction/16/bubbleworks.aspx Last rides 6th September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 This is at the entrance of the park. Sad to see it go, but this looks interesting. Let the speculation commence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I think most of us said goodbye to it back in 2005... Wonder what IP will be used... Probably Hotel Transylvania... Kerfuffle, MattyMoo and Matt 236 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Presuming the ride system will remain? Fingers crossed some actual effort goes into it this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joegibbon Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 They are in dire need of a new coaster, so do you think and indoor one could fit in the bubbleworks warehouse? I know it's not very tall, but could be a junior launch coaster of some sort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenVig Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 OMG, this is so sad But it's definitely had it's time of day, Benin is right we said goodbye to it in 2005 its never been the same since. Going to try and head down there for the last ride on the 6th Interesting that they have decided to use the original theme on this memo, rather than the updated current one?

OlivusPrime Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 That poster seems remarkably apologetic considering most fans of the ride probably haven't cared for it in 11 years. Odd that they've geared it so squarely towards teens/adults, regarding the classic imagery also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 There goes another slap on the back of childhood. I know the original technically died in 2005, but I still had a soft spot for the attraction. I don't know whether this move will be put the old ride out of its misery or be an insult to the original. But I have strong faith whatever replaces it won't be that good, because let's face it. Everything needs to be IP's to be successful these days otherwise it'll fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as someone who was around to love it at its peak any nostalgia for something good died a long time ago. It really is time something else was done with it and I don't care a jot for what is there now. JoshC. and BenC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterio Ka Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Finally putting it out of it's misery it seems. I doubt the ride system will remain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Rode Bubbleworks in its opening year and it was never the same when they rebranded it and got ride of Prof Burp - far too many ducks and quacking! Hopefully something decent will take its place.....hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
