TimR Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Does anyone know when the actuall new area will be open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomathy Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 No idea when the new are will be opened except for the obvious 2010! What a great way to send off such a great area of the park. I will never forget going on billys wizzer not realizing that there were a few garden hoses involved and getting soaking wet, and then seeing my sisters puzzled look when I turned back and saw her wiping the water off her face! Good times, Good times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 The new area will be open for the start of next season I presume, however if they do the area how the plans show, it may be a bit longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I know it has been this for a while now, but it isn't on the website, so I thought I would state it :)Express Shots are now £4 instead of £3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Rush Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hey!I am going to Chesssington saturday, and you know what I am going to ask!. Firstly, is it open?. I've been on the website and the bit where it says about the rides etc and the fact it is open can not be found. I'm also wondering due to construction of the new area and getting the park ready for halloween if saturday is a day where it is closed.Also, if the park is open, does anyone know if Fury is fixed?Thanks!

Paul Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 http://www.moneysupermarket.com/vouchers/filestore/printoff/4553-Chessington%20Exclusive%20Offer%20October%2009.pdfThis link is to a printable '2 for 1' voucher to Chessington's Halloween Hocus Pocus, and a printable voucher that entitles the bearer to 20% off Eating and Drinking in Chessington.Another quick question.... Will there be quite a lot of people walking to Chessington South at 8/ 8.30pm at night on Saturday? It's just that it's quite a daunting walk in the dark if there are very few people around, and I'm only going with one other person, who is 11 years old. He doesn't feel comfortable doing that walk if it is going to be quiet. Any thoughts? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.Chessington South area isn't that nice but WoA staff tend to leave from between 8pm until latest of 10pm so they're always around to make you feel slightly safer.If not, use the 71 bus to go from right outside the park to the station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkmad Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Even if there is no members of staff.I have been at Chessington South Station an hour after the park closes, and it is still fairely (sp?) busy.I would reconmend arriving at the station around half an hour, after parking closing, if you want it to still be fairely busy. (In my opinion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In my opinion).Basically, we could leave earlier, but we really want to stay until 8pm, to get the most out of our day. We should be leaving not too long after 8pm.

Paul Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm sure loads of people will, it will be a busy night and many people use the trainThanks for the helps guys!Another quick question: Can I purchase my Express Passes from the Admissions kiosks when I buy my on-the-day tickets? I don't want to buy them online anymore, but I'm afraid that they might have sold out by the time I get into the park when it opens at 10am.

James6 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I don't think you can buy them at admissions, but they won't have sold out at opening. To be honest I doubt you'll even need express pass'.If you enter through the South ( grass car park) entrance, then just next to the sign for toilets is an Express Pass Kiosk, and I'm sure there is one close-ish/ near to the north entrance as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark9 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 To be honest I doubt you'll even need express pass'.The full queue lines for every ride at Chessington today speak otherwise (Even Griffins!).

Mark9 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 After 6 queues were down slightly. At mid-day most major rides were at 60 minutes or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
