June 30, 201114 yr comment_118856 The staff are so lovely at Chessington, friendly polite and customer friendly! I love chessington because it feels like a proper good old fashioned day out, Like the good old days! The way they organise the grass car park is fantastic, easy and quick to escape from!

August 2, 201114 yr comment_120796 Just a quicky:Chessington is currently trying to do it's own scaled back version of Towers' marketing now.Scaled back, as in.. it's purely a poll on facebook.. with the wonderful catchy name of "Are you a brave adventurer? If you are what is your favourite Chessington ride?" .Thought you'd like to know .
August 6, 201114 yr comment_120983 Hi guys, just a quick question...Haven't been to Chessington in about 5 years, maybe more. Just wondering, as I'm going on 24th August, what sort of queues to be expecting and any tips on how to get the most out of the day? Sorry this was put in the general discussion, couldn't see a 'quick questions' topic.
August 6, 201114 yr comment_121010 It wasn't that busy today. Queues were under 30 mins.I doubt the M25 issues helped people turning up to the park today...But yeah, queues will vary between 30 to 60 throughout the summer... Depends on weather and all the other bits and bobs...
August 7, 201114 yr comment_121021 queues will vary between 30 to 60 throughout the summer...That's not too bad at all actually Wanted to visit Chessington for a while because I've been to Thorpe Park over and over again. I hope it's worth my visit later on this month :(Thank you.
August 7, 201114 yr comment_121025 Milkshake Show Review...It's typical British stuff really for shows... Why are ours so goddamn awful? And WHY was everyone NORTHERN? At least the hosts were worth the effort I guess...
August 7, 201114 yr comment_121028 Milkshake Show Review...It's typical British stuff really for shows... Why are ours so goddamn awful? And WHY was everyone NORTHERN? At least the hosts were worth the effort I guess...Sorry for the Tomb evac.
August 7, 201114 yr comment_121029 Sorry for the Tomb evac.Sorry? I FINALLY GOT EVACUATED OFF A RIDE!!!!! :blink:Shame it was Tomb and only at the bottom of the lift... But an evac's an evac
August 7, 201114 yr comment_121036 Mate. I got told that "Imperial Leather stuff has been removed on bubbles" when I mentioned that it's completely gone on the flume.When I meant completely gone with flume, I literally meant it. There's only one thing the entire ride, and thats a piece of paper on the vending machine telling you where to get a refund if it breaks on you.Bubbleworks? It's exactly the same. Logos are literally everywhere. I know which one out of us two to trust now...
August 15, 201114 yr comment_121426 Vampire on two trains for summer it seems... Annoying...Nothing else to report so far...
August 15, 201114 yr comment_121435 Nothing else to report so far...You could have used this quote for the 2005,. 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 seasons tbh.
August 18, 201114 yr comment_121660 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j02G7i6vrqoJust a short clip I edited which I think illustrates how brilliant Lorikeet Lagoon is.
August 23, 201114 yr comment_122019 Vampire on two trains for summer it seems... Annoying...Nothing else to report so far...Vampire will not be on 3 trains at all this year.
August 23, 201114 yr comment_122025 Vampire will not be on 3 trains at all this year. Le sigh...What's the official reason?
August 23, 201114 yr comment_122031 There isn't really a real 'official' reason. See Facebook. HOPEFULLY it will return for 2012. I think it is really stupid to be honest!! Have fun queuing guys!!
August 23, 201114 yr comment_122040 Three trains will not be in operation after a consolation between CWoAR and HSEC - due to the possibility of the Lift 2 chain snapping, they don't want to run on three trains.What a **** excuse..
August 23, 201114 yr comment_122042 Ahh yes, and a chain snapping does what? Oh it causes an evac and a chain replacement. Oh my god.If only all parks run like this, by christ
August 23, 201114 yr comment_122043 Because the chain has never snapped in 21 years now has it?Why does H&S always seem to be so overally prudent at Chessie and nowhere else in the UK? Buccaneer, Fury, and now Vampire... Le SIGH!Oh well, least they're making people share boats on Bubbleworks now...
August 23, 201114 yr comment_122049 Because the chain has never snapped in 21 years now has it?Why does H&S always seem to be so overally prudent at Chessie and nowhere else in the UK? Buccaneer, Fury, and now Vampire... Le SIGH!Oh well, least they're making people share boats on Bubbleworks now... Do you have any clue what you're talking about - because all that comes out is bigheaded bull****.Buccaneer is a GERMAN ride that has had new GERMAN manufacturer restrictions imposed on it, exactly the same way that Falls, and GERMAN ride had GERMAN manufacturer restrictions imposed on it.Nothing has happened on Fury - the two adults to a car was repealed after a review and three adults in a car is in force because the car can take 300kg each, which is roughly 75kg each. Which is three fat people. Again, a GERMAN ride having GERMAN restrictions imposed on it. The construction of the ride is piss poor, there is only so many times you can say that Lift 1 is meant to sway like that.The basis is that if the chain had snapped in any other direction, it would have smashed straight into the train, killed the two people in the front train and seriously hurt the guests behind in rows 2 backwards.Do you have ANY CLUE what you're talking about Benin?
August 23, 201114 yr comment_122051 God, if Fury or any other ride goes down for the rest of the season then Vampire is going to be FUN this summer. Ah well, it will be worth it for the money saved from running the extra train.

Ah well, it will be worth it for the money saved from running the extra train. Funny you say that, Fury was totally buggered today and will be for the next few days.
August 23, 201114 yr comment_122053 German manufacturers that also have rides in the UK which DON'T have the same rules?Buccaneer and Blade don't follow the same rules...Spinball and Fury don't follow the same rules...I never mentioned Falls, as all the parks follow the same rules... Why would I bother using rides to back up my arguement about Chessie's rather stringent following of H&S rules?Look at it from the outside here, a group of 4 adults goes on Spinball and get on together, then go to Chessie and cannot... They have no knowledge of rides so to them, it will look like there are rather random rules from rides that are exactly the same won't it?
