Kevin Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Yeah the new branding looks pretty good with all spelling mistakes tidied (minimun lol). Noone seems to know what the branding is actually for though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenVig Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 The sponsor is rather random, I noticed it last week. However, it's not thrown at you at all on the ride. I never noticed it until I came off the ride and looked at the signage.I do like its new design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricBlll Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Lovely new logo! Much better. Very nice colours.Oh but, Juicy Pop Drop? You mean that sweet product with the most awful advert of all time? Nevermind. As long as it is subtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkmad Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I think you should be able to buy them at the park as I never heard of them sweets until the new sponcership as sad as that is :DLike though how the actual ride hasn't really changed.Heard station lighting has changed a bit but not 100% sure on that one.

JBdaWonderLlama Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 mmmmm... Juicy Drop pops...I wish I had been on Dragon Falls when it had the rock theming it looks so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Heard station lighting has changed a bit but not 100% sure on that one.Station Lighting is still exactly the same. Not been touched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 New logo looks amazing. Though when I went, not all the signage had changed (ie, the smoking signs, the batching signs, the this way to falls sign).. which made the place look a bit shabby. ALL the signs please!

rygr Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Didn't think that Merlin were so 'up' for sponsors, however, its nice to see Dragon Falls with a sponsor. Agreed, the outdoor signs look much better judging by that photo, I look forward to seeing it myself! Am I right in thinking Dragon Falls has never had a sponsor, although either Mystic East or Falls itself was sponsored by Singapore Airlines (or something similar) in the late 80s/early 90s?

electricBlll Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 When Dragon River first opened it was sponsored by Signapore Airlines. The ride was meant to take you around different parts of Asia that airlines could take you to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th13teen Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I feel the theming is now to dated on dragon falls and its just not as popular as it used to be!when they had the bigger queue.I do feel the whole Mystic east need some TLC mind you chessington have concentrated so much on the zoo for the past 3-4 years they almost forgot they had a theme park to look after but at the least the water squrting elephant is working again!

James6 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 ^ Couldn't disagree more, even on mild days it has one of the biggest queue's in the park.Whilst some areas of it do look tired, I still think it's a good ride with a great theme.

electricBlll Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 2 to 3 hours, now only about 2? How do you know this? And is it a bad thing that the queues are slightly shorter? Two hours is still a very long time, extremely popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Indeed, especially for a 23 year old ride...Also take into account there are more rides at the park now than all those years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob230 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Did the Dragon Falls queue used to go down the back path from Wild Asia, then through the trees opposite cos there are part on the floor infilled with concrete that looks like removed fencing and then an old wooden structure covered by plants and trees that looks like an old queue?

Mark9 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 It did yeah, it was nothing more then poles and chains as for some reason whenever they do Falls queue line they under anticipate how popular the ride is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th13teen Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Indeed, especially for a 23 year old ride...Also take into account there are more rides at the park now than all those years ago.I suppose. of coarse because they had Samurai back then and so there would have been a split in mystic east teens of Samurai and families (most of the time) on dragon falls.not always but that would probably explain it.
