  • Some of this post is dreadful...   I don't think there is any park in the entire world which had the budget Animal Kingdom had when built (it quite possibly still is the most expensive park

Been through Fury's queue line before with the stench and it isn't pleasant, a smell between fermenting food & sewerage. Surely there's a way they can solve the problem, even if it involves putting smell pods or something in that part of the queue line.

Clearing the drainage system would help, when we got a whiff it smelt a lot like one of those fat barges the water board is forever having to clear from the sewers when people pour hot fat down the drains.

Well there's the likelihood the drains go back to when the property was a rolling estate. The last time it burnt down and was rebuilt was in 1919, but the previous plumbing may well have been intact still. But they could have redone all that when the site became a theme park in 1987. There could be come Victorian systems combined with new systems, that's always a recipe for disaster.

Just doing a scan of the CWoA Facebook as I like to now and again... some classic reading on there at the moment regarding ride availability (or lack of)

Going to be lots of "come back for free" vouchers being handed out today as the website currently saying Dragon's Fury, Rattlesnake, Safari Skyway and Tomb Blaster are all closed today, with Monkey Swinger temporarily unavailable.

 

EDIT: Looking on complaints on FB - Tiny Truckers has a Fast-track queue? The humanity...!

Dare I say it, could Chessington not be a little bit more ambitious perhaps. Magic Carpet was great for 1987 and Samurai was great in 1999 but that was over 15 years ago. It's the same thought pattern that wants Bubbleworks to return to its Professor Burp days, it's not pushing the park forward, just keeping it in the past. I accept that the period between 1995-2000 was the parks greatest days but if the place is to have any future it needs to strive to lead, not keep relying on the rides that made it what it was.

 

Chessington. -_-
