Sidders Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marley Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 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?

Will Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 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.

James Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 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.

Theme Park bloke Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 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?!

It got longer queues because the park was busier (over 10k most days, instead of the 8k we got last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
