I checked the Chessington general discussion thread and there was no outrage. Then again... they announced the closure of Beanoland in advance and had an epic cream pie fight to say goodbye to the area. Wild Asia gone for two years with only a token announcement on their social pages and website. Sure this isn't Kingda Ka, but we're talking four rides just closed until further notice.
March 17Mar 17 comment_324330 Ahh, the late 2000’s. Definitely a lot more optimism when it came to the parks and maybe professionalism too. Wild Asia closing (suddenly) at the start of this season, (rather than near the end) without any fanfare definitely comes across as a cost cutting measure. Which Merlin have implemented in all their parks this year. Though interesting developments may well be on the horizon, this is looking like a bleak year for the park currently.
