Len Patel Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 why did the ride go anyway? and whats there now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'm not sure why the ride went, probably due to escalating maintenance costs or simply the park thought it would be a good way to reinforce the target audience they had changed to.I'm pretty sure though there isn't anything in it's place at the moment though.

Alex Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Rodeo was removed due to problems sourcing parts, I believe. You can still see the control box, ride area, queue line and cowboy from Runaway Train, however they are now somewhat decrepit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Williams Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I went on it once and really enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiHazz-ord Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Can someone post a picture of the queue and control box from the runaway train, because I probably wont know where it is if I tried to look when I visit. Thanks =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 These aren't from Runaway Train, these are from the back of Ramases.Control BoxAnd the horse that used to be the centre piece of the ride.In both you can see the queueline is in good condition. Actually looks like a "good" queue as it wrapped around the ride in a lot of greenery as well as a decent view of other rides, would have loved to at least have tried Rodeo. Much clearer view of the area from on-board RT but never taken pictures of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricBlll Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 It looks like it had pretty good theming around there. A big shame... Seeing abandoned queuelines covered in leaves feels very mysterious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 You can even see details such as the themed lanterns throughout the queue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Argh, 2 double posts in one day Here you can see Rodeo's area in it's current state. Depressing and exactly as it's been since it was removed in 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyT Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Merged with original topic. Please take a brief look to see if there are any similar topics before starting new ones. The original was the second one down, for example.I've never experienced any Breakdance, I know Rodeo has a place in a lot of people's hearts from when it was at Chessington.

electricBlll Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Or that's what you think you remember. It is actually just a false memory implanted in your mind. (Yes of course we all remember Rodeo, it was only removed about 5 years ago!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
