November 6, 200915 yr comment_75931 Do you get special staff days?Do you mean only the staff enter the park and go on the Rides and Attractions? :)If so, I don't think Merlin do that, no.If you mean like meet ups, I would imagine you just arrange to meet up if you want to or not. (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.
November 6, 200915 yr comment_75932 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.
November 6, 200915 yr comment_75934 A few days ago, I sent off my application form to do work experiance at Chessington! It would be so exciting seeing everything back-stage, and wearing the staff uniform!
November 15, 200915 yr comment_76651 It looks really good . Better than the previous logo. Funny that they're still using it on their site.
November 16, 200915 yr comment_76680 That looks cool. I want a copy of the animated one, but it's in Flash.
November 19, 200915 yr comment_76809 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.
November 20, 200915 yr comment_76855 Has anyone here tried food from the Fried Chicken Co this year?If you ain't, don't next year. It's rank. Seriously.
November 20, 200915 yr comment_76857 Has anyone here tried food from the Fried Chicken Co this year?If you ain't, don't next year. 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.
November 20, 200915 yr comment_76861 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...
November 20, 200915 yr comment_76862 The Fried Chicken Co is obviously like Marmite...You either love it or you hate it!
November 21, 200915 yr comment_76997 I actually think its very nice I've never tried it, but I must admit it smells divine.
November 22, 200915 yr comment_77053 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.
November 22, 200915 yr comment_77061 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...
November 22, 200915 yr comment_77062 I feel it has all been good too! (Just apart from the Fried Chicken Co )
November 22, 200915 yr comment_77073 I have only been there once and I liked, it may no be that healthy but it is very tasty, Personally I do prefer the Mexican diner though
November 23, 200915 yr comment_77093 Has anyone got any news regarding the park over the closed season?If you do, please share!
November 23, 200915 yr comment_77145 Monkey Swingers' Panels for the ride top have been brought back and are waiting to go back onto the ride.. and the Tuk Tuk Turmoil had been set back up.
November 23, 200915 yr comment_77148 Thanks for the update :)I really am so excited for this area, and for the whole of 2010, the re-launch is going to be amazing
November 23, 200915 yr comment_77180 Are they themed?I would imagine they would be themed around a sort of jungle setting.
