September 27, 200817 yr comment_33942 It's been closed all this week. There's always someone that knows.Well the park is closed tuesday, wednesday and thursday anyway, so there would be no need for vampire to be listed as available.and yeah the staff generally know whats wrong and I'm being rude and sarcy so I'll apologise.yeah as james said lift problems.theres a couple of guys that might give you more details
September 27, 200817 yr comment_33959 theres a couple of guys that might give you more details No. It reopened on friday morning.
September 27, 200816 yr comment_33979 Not that it makes any difference.. lift1 had the same problem earlier in the year.
September 28, 200816 yr comment_34064 hehe trust me for people who work there its not a classic ><I work there and err.. yes it is
September 28, 200816 yr comment_34072 Yes, it is - its the ride that put Chessington on the map, so stop arguing, your just annoying everyone. I think people will believe Mark over you so stop acting like you own the place.

I think people will believe Mark over you so stop acting like you own the place. mark does not work in area 1 which is where vampire is, I do soooo I think id know since I'm on it everyday
September 28, 200816 yr comment_34076 A ride isn't made a classic by the staff working on it. It's theming, re-rideability, the general experience, setting, soundtrack etc that count.
September 28, 200816 yr comment_34079 A ride isn't made a classic by the staff working on it. It's theming, re-rideability, the general experience, setting, soundtrack etc that count.to most people its a classic I'm just saying, when you work on there it just loses its magic
September 28, 200816 yr comment_34096 Hi, I am new to this lol Anyway I cannot see how it could 'affect the magic' everytime I'm there it gets me pumped.I was born in 1993 but I think it would be a swell idea if they bought back the actors who used to roam the queues etc etc does anyone agree?
September 29, 200816 yr comment_34097 mark does not work in area 1 which is where vampire is, I do soooo I think id know since I'm on it everyday Ah, but I have worked on Vampire so therefore have a valid point
September 30, 200816 yr comment_34289 Dragon's Fury is now the top dog but Vampire is a classic and it always (according to the public) racks longer queues than DF, I find and guests find.
September 30, 200816 yr comment_34290 I think that has only been the case this summer though because Vampire was not running to its full capacity and thus getting longer queues than I think it did last summer in general.
September 30, 200816 yr comment_34291 Yeah, that kinda flopped. Chessie hoped that when Fury opened, everyone would flock there, although the queueline for it is seen packed regularly. But unfortunately, that only lasted about a year and now everyone goes back to the Vamp. The views you get of Fury flying about on approach to it can be offputting, I admit, but what's a kid to do?!
September 30, 200816 yr comment_34292 although the queueline for it is seen packed regularly. But unfortunately, that only lasted about a year and now everyone goes back to the Vamp.During the summer I frequently saw the Fury queue full and with an extension outside of the main queue.
September 30, 200816 yr comment_34296 I think that has only been the case this summer though because Vampire was not running to its full capacity and thus getting longer queues than I think it did last summer in general.Erm.. vampire was on three trains from the last week of july, so the same time as last year. It got longer queues because the park was busier (over 10k most days, instead of the 8k we got last year)
