Chessington General Discussion

Recommended Posts

The trains were entirely deconstructed as various points throughout the season, so they've had more than just a bit of TLC. But aesthetically and operationally they are the worst things ever built - there are plans to replace them and possibly reroute the track but then there are a million other amazing plans that are all shelved

Had a really good day at the park today, there were a few breakdowns but just adjusted the route around the park accordingly. The park was busy with a lot of people complaining at guest services about the rides which were advertised as being closed, even though they were handed free ticket returns.

 

Kobra seems to be having a wheel mechanism replaced I'd imagine its going to have a few days down, disappointed Bubbleworks has had no work done (except the wall at entrance finally painted) over this extended closed period.

Not sure what people were expecting for BubbleWorks, it needs a full refurbishment not a couple of small touch ups during downtime. There's not much that can be done on set while its in engineering anyway.

 

Even with its current guise there's a lot that could still be improved, very simply and effectively if it was handed to people with enough passion.

Does anybody know where the AP building is at Chessington?

One of the staff at Thorpe told us to go back to our home attraction and get our passes reprinted since "none of the new passes issued by Chessington" scanned at the turn styles, but we haven't been to our home attraction aside from a 10 minute pop-in a few weeks back lol.

Next to the toilet block at the main entrance, dunno about the second entrance...

 

As for Towers' opening times, I've always wondered how much of that is down to the locals not particularly being enthralled with the idea of thousands of cars trudging through Alton village at dinner time...

Random Post Alert!

I was just thinking, seeing how run down & poor Tomb Blaster is these days, if they could ever refurbish it to something like Ramesis at Gardaland.

The ride there like Tombs involves gun shooting and everything, is heavily themed and also features lots more effects. Just an idea, but could work quite well if they were to ever consider it.
