(Like anyone else! )If you mean selected ride time, then yes!Staff are allocated ERT for a certain ride or rides.However, I have heard this is not that often.I heard once a month, but I am sure if I am wrong, a staff member will correct me.

Kevin Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Every ride is test ridden by one staff member, once a day to ensure that there are no strange sounds or smells encountered in the ride by lifts, motors, restraints etc.Staff are not allowed to ride the rides when there are guests on park, however sometimes for special occasions such as birthdays, staff members leaving etc, first day of season, last day of season.Staff are also used to warm up rides, for example 4 days before the season, staff were paid to ride the Dodgems in Beanoland for hourly sessions daily, to take the rust off of the track.

Mark9 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Land clearing has begun at Chessington on the new entrance to the parks car park. Many of the trees have been cut down where the Chessington and hotel sign is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rank. Seriously.I have purchased a few times from the Fried Chicken Co.The first time I tried it, I did not like it.I then thought that could just be becuase it is my first time or I just got served something not nice. Therefore, I tried another option.After purchasing 3 times, I still don't like it.I don't know if I would go as far as saying it was "rank", but I personally don't like it neither.EDIT - The only good thing I think there is their chips but that is it.

James6 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 You can't be talking about the same place I am...I think it is delicous to be honest, and much MUCH better than most theme park's food... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 The Fried Chicken Co is obviously like Marmite...You either love it or you hate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme Park bloke Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 It seems to me that of all the differently-named restaurants they've had in there over the years, the food has always been horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 What!? <_<I must say I feel completely the opposite, and I think that all of Chessington's food that I've ever had, has been delicous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
