March 7, 201015 yr comment_85050 I really like what's being done with the entrance. I respect how they've made an effort to improve general infrstructure.
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85401 I thought the 2009 map was one of the best to be honest.I am realy glad they kept the 2009 style and this seasons one just looks fantastic!I think they have done a really good job promoting Wild Asia and it is nice actually referring to the name of the areas - Land of the Dragons, Wild Asia, Transylvania etc. Whereas, last year it was catagories like "Big fun" etc.A really good move CWoA and looking forward to having one of the maps in my hands!
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85403 Disappointed they have kept the same old style, Thorpe and Alton replaced that old style one years ago!
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85404 Disappointed they have kept the same old style, Thorpe and Alton replaced that old style one years ok!But the old style was better..
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85405 Says? I guess thats why all the other parks redesigned that style one years ago?
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85406 Ahh, I love the current brand image. It feels so retro, with many nods back to the park's glory days of the 90's.
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85407 Ah that map is great, particularly love how the distinct areas are back :(Also, new names for each entrance. "Explorer and Lodge"And that African Savannah experience looks great
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85415 Dont get me wrong, I like the new design around the map, just think the map its self is getting abit dated now!
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85417 ^ I like a newly styled map as much as the next person but even so I really do like this map.I would still like to see actual ride logo's of some of the major rides though
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85420 This design was only new last year? The style before that was boring, generic CGI that had been introduced around 2003, how can you say it needs changing already?:)Anyway, I actually squaled when I saw this. For some extremely weird reason.I love the new map! It really shows Chessington's brand image and represents the park beautifully. This year it has just got even better! The style of Wild Asia looks great (the themed gondolas look promising for the actual ride), and the emphasis on each area's setting goes really well with what they said they would be trying to achieve.I am surprised the African Savannah Experience is opening this year, though. It sounded as if it would open at least next year if not later. It just goes to show that Chessington are putting a lot of effort into their development from now on!
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85430 Dont get me wrong, I like the new design around the map, just think the map its self is getting abit dated now!Well maybe they keep it because it works for them. Thorpe and Alton might take a different route but it doesn't mean Chessington necessarily have to follow them. Age doesn't always need to a bad thing.
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85436 Does anyone have any info about this "Adventure Service for families" ? I don't remember it from last year
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85442 It also confirms that the chairswing will be named Money Swinger; the fountain will be reused as theming for the Kobra; and the 'branch' theming shown in concept art for Wild Asia will not be actually be appearing on the Monkey Swinger.The more I look, the more I like it! Look at the entrance to Wild Asia and all those exotic trees.
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85443 Looking at the map, Wild Asia seems to have been extended quite a lot with the entrance to the area a lot closer to the South Car Park entrance than before as Beanoland.I also love how green and Jungle-y the area looks. One thing I'm not keen on however is the colours of the Jungle Bus... Don't fit in if I'm honest. But love everything else
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85445 Looks awesome...New addition in June as well to the zoo...Love the referencing to all the areas as well... Can't wait for the year to begin...
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85453 Does anyone have any info about this "Adventure Service for families" ? I don't remember it from last year Could this relate to "Guest Services" now being "Adventurers Services"?
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85455 Ah yes, more than likely.Although it said to turn over for more details which obviously you can't do on the internet, but I sort of interpreted it as some sort of plan created for families, but yes I am sure it is just Guest Services now you've pointed it out

March 9, 201015 yr comment_85469 *Ahem*Suckup*Ahem*I could say the same about you regarding Thorpe Park my dear so be quiet and lets stay on topic
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85477 Dont get me wrong, I like the new design around the map, just think the map its self is getting abit dated now!What?! It's a one year old map...
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85482 I like it, reminds me of Thorpe's map (probably because they're both drawn out).
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85484 What?! It's a one year old map... That styles been around for years.. I'm sure it was rumoured to be redrawn last year but unfortunately never happened.
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85488 That's the 08 map, and is a rather different style imo to 09's and this years...It certainly got redrawn last year, remember some of the manager's making a big deal about it...
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85492 My bad, This one seems like a mix between that one and Altons / Tp's. Certainly an improvement over that!
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85494 Haha Benin you beat me to it! :(Just had another look at this year's map, I actually think it's much improved, a lot greener, and the logo on the top right makes me want to eat it
