KingNemesis Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Think I'm doing chessington Howl'o'ween for the first time this year (Usually miss it as from the midlands and usually visit Fright nights earlier) so looking forward to it.

Kerfuffle Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I never got to do it last year so it's a must for me this year! It'll never be the same without Mystery and Hollows though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onair Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Agree boths mazes are appalling. The Haunted Hollows were awesome. Howl o ween last year was the worst Halloween event Chessington has put on in their history. When you look back at what this park once did at Halloween its sad to see its sorry state now. I have not returned to Chessington since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Although I didn't go to HoW last year, from every review I've heard about last year, it was only a sign of things to come at Chessington this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Actually, one thing I will give them is that an 8pm ride close is decent for a family park. Doesn't make me feel any more inclined to visit though, I have no interest in returning to Chessington this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not really relevant in this topic seeing as it's about Chessington's Howl'o'ween event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 The number of closed and SBNO rides at Towers is scarier than Howl'o'ween, so it is on topic to be fair.... Matt 236, Matt10, Coaster and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Only ever been in TOTW and I've heard Curse has a few scary moments so don't plan on it. Never stayed until dark either (always had something else we had to do) but we are this year, looking forward to getting on Vampy Fury and Kobra in the dark as well as the lighting of course. I think we're even looking at hotel prices but doubt that'll happen. Do Chessie have roamers? dk3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian-S Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 I don't remember there being any last year but the place was rammed, we only stayed for an hour because the RAP queue was so long the park would have closed before we got to the front of it so we only did trick or treat wood and left. Have they been date stamping you RAP pass? Last time we went the silly dove in the office tried to stamp the date on it, black ink on navy blue card doesn't show up and she kept trying over and over, to the point where our card now looks like a 3 year old has been using it to wipe their nose. yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Surely having an RAP won't better your chances at getting 3 major rides in the dark done, since you'll be waiting the queue time outside the queues anyway before you can use it again? pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 >Needs RAP. >Able to use Single Rider. Forgive my scepticism (and for going wildly off topic), and I understand every case is different, but it just seems a bit...off KingNemesis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Needing RAP could be for any number of reasons, it's a RAP requirement that an adult rides with them, not the person themselves (if the RAP user is an adult they still need another adult with them) so if a RAP person is able to queue for 5 minutes in the SRQ surely it's better for them to do that than it is go up the exit and clogings up that way. Please don't come back with the classic "well if you can do an SRQ then you can do the main queue", the two are not the remotest bit comparable, especially at Chessie where their expert operations can easily turn a 10 minute main queue into an hour in the blink of an eye.
