SteveJ Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 No, otherwise where would the staff park? That park is always full during full season. It was only a temporary thingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry-go-girl Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 But they tried! I'm just amazed by this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 On a completely separate note, Chessington's Instagram confirmed Chessington pass holders won't be allowed into the preview event. The event will be exclusive to Merlin pass holders only. Strange move from the park, excluding what is presumably their most loyal customers.

That's not on at all, why not just limit the numbers altogether instead of excluding loyal customers? (Presuming that this is a crowd reducing measure).

HermanTheGerman Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thats rediculous. I was planning on going then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Of course, the Instagram page may not be the most reliable of sources, however they did confirm publicly in reply to a comment that it wouldn't include Chessington passes. I guess we will found out when tickets are released whether chessington passes are included or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam P Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 It's not that clear on the booking site which pass holders are allowed, states Africa is open from 12pm too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul2014 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Booking page has changed since yesterday, it's now classed as two days (yesertday the ticket covered both days) and you have to supply a pass number for each ticket.

ashleyrose-66 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 The Chessington Preview Days is available to book. I just went to the Eventbrite website and entered Chessington in to the search section. http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/chessington-world-of-adventures-resort-preview-weekend-14th-15th-march-tickets-15815635993?aff=es2&rank=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 The facebook team have just confirmed chessington passes will be able to use as well as merlin passes. It's strange how the same park can give two completely opposite opinions on different social media sites. I would imagine that chessington passes will be accepted as it would be completely unfair if they weren't allowed to attend the event. All very cuffudling isn't it..

Mitchada04 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 So Merlin have sent out an email about the AP days etc. As expected but... Vampire and Bubbleworks will be unavailable over the weekend! Yay! TN Jonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I'm surprised to hear this, we were given excellent communication by staff today, who were far more up front about how they were trying to get it open early in the day. Also some managers were even roaming the park and talking to guests, they were also well informed about ride status and kept everyone up to date. There was some confusion later on when Tomb's area was blocked off entirely without explanation but the staff were generally quite helpful. Surprising to hear that staff were helpful and informative to another staff member visiting on the day . SteveJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HermanTheGerman Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 The new marketing team are just so beyond good. Its no wonder the park did as well as it did in 2014. OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 There are sayings the Falls retheme has been put off for the foreseeable future. I'm not surprised tbh, wouldn't surprise me if this has been affected by the tomb blaster fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised tbh, wouldn't surprise me if this has been affected by the tomb blaster fine. I think its more to do with the fact that they have realized the whole thing needs to be replaced rather then re-themed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I didn't book an AP day ticket to the park. I don't regret it. Feel sorry all those pass holders waiting 2 hours for Scorpion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
