Jormerod18 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Although it has been neglected, I think as an actual ride the vampire is one of if not the best family coaster in the uk regardless of its age. How it's looked after is a different story yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin want the park for their style of branding and their idea of entertainment - trends, hotels and cuteness. The old flamboyant, dramatic Chessington classics do not fit with Merlin's values, and as such it would take a lot to even convince someone with power at Chessington why half the park is an utter shambles compared to its old self. This. Its upsetting, but for people who actually care about the park, and have fond memories of it for the real reasons, you better give up hope soon. I'm sorry. Its sad. Really sad. But its going the same way as Legoland, only worse. You wait. Soon fundamental parts of the park you never though would leave will be ripped appart and replaced by Heartlake City style garbage that's "cool" or "trendy" or "popular with children". Nobody will use their brain or think of their own idea. Nobody will use drama or real showmanship. Nobody will create something that's truly entertaining. Everybody will just use external IPs to destroy the memories of your childhood, and annihilate what little magic was left. Its not intentional, but just you wait. A big shock is coming, not a good one. Say goodbye before it hurts you most. Farewell Chesssington. :* Goodbye pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I see more accomodation plans in that - rolls eyes although, it also says about re-investing into present rides and adding new attractions/a coaster so I guess it's not all bad Quote The Masterplan (Site 7) has provisionally identified a suitable site for a medium sized family coaster ride. This could be an animalthemed ‘wild jungle ride’ or ‘water coaster’ targeted at families, in particular the 5 to 12 years core age group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterio Ka Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 If you read into the plans it suggests they may finally do up 'Africa' (Concrete land with the ponds) and give it a jungle theme. That would see the removal/refurb of trucks, carousel, hoppers and toadies and see them replaced with the Juvelen concept coaster and potentially other attractions. That would be an immense step up.

The Juvelin/Dutchman coaster is believed to be going on that grass patch near the Explorer entrance, with Toadies [and maybe Peeking's] site used as an alternate/fall back or in the off chance both rides can happen. 1 hour ago, HermanTheGerman said: Everybody will just use external IPs to destroy the memories of your childhood, and annihilate what little magic was left.

Perhaps the biggest shock since a certain death of a major character in Star Wars. And just like Star Wars, 1000 screams in pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Has anyone else been receiving this email every day for the past few days? I received it once or twice a couple of weeks ago, but they've sent it to me every day for almost a week. Just feels like spam now. Just wondering if I've just been unlucky / signed up to multiple different things via Merlin or if they've been having difficulties with their email or something?

Ian-S Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Is it school trip time yet for Chessington? Because Vampire was on two trains today, on a Wednesday. Oh and we got stuck on Vamps for 20 minutes (at the second lift hill), shall I call the Mail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
