I heard dan from the donut stall is happy to give more info @JoshuaA who is Dan from the doughnut stall? @JoshuaA your post gives even more evidence to show that this rumour is probably true. I knew the rumour was more than likely true as it was fuelled by Nick Hudson one of the people who is returning Forbidden Tomb to Chessington. professorb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I think it's time to state this simply. There has been no confirmation by the park that Tomb Blaster is receiving any work, or a re-theme. It might happen, it might not. Until then, rumours are just that: rumours. It doesn't matter if Nick Hutson, Theme Park Giraffe, Doughnut Dan, Gil Lible or Professor Pepsi Burp have "confirmed" or said stuff. The best thing to do is to wait until a park confirms something before believing it. Until then, it's best to take anything else with a pinch of salt and not think something is definitely happening just because some guy said so.

Mark9 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Can't we all pretend for a little bit longer that Forbidden Tomb is coming back. it's such a wildly crazy lie, but at least its given people something to talk about in the doldrums of closed season.

I also have some exclusive genuine news that Room on the Broom will be called Room in the Hocus Pocus Hall next year! The maze will go back to also using its previous name because Nick the cleaner found an old sign from Hocus Pocus Hall and thought of how good it would look added to the current sign. Inside the maze you will be required to wear 3D glasses once again, not because anything is in 3D, but just because they look funky.

Theme Park Fanatic Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 I have just looked at the updated CWOA App. The App dose not include Tomb Blaster on the rides list. Could this indicate that my statement about the return of Forbidden Tomb maybe correct? please could my fellow forum members give me their views about the reason for Tomb Blaster being removed,from the App. I still believe that Tomb Blaster is having a major refurbishment and we will receive an official announcement.on the relaunch of Tomb Blaster as Forbidden Tomb. If my predictions are correct I hope that all of the broken effects are repaired as well as maybe a Ghost Train atmosphere. My vision for the re-themed Tomb Blaster would be a trip around a haunted Tomb with gooles and ghosts. I think that Abdab's son could be a jewel thief like his dad and take you on a guided tour around his terrifying tomb. In other Chessington news from the app it would appear the that Tiger Rock shop, that I didn't even realize was closed, will reopen. Please share all Chessington news,predictions and speculation in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I assume they have just (temporarily) removed attractions which are not going to reopen when the park opens on April 12th. If Tomb Blaster was going to be rethemed back to Forbidden Tomb I'm fairly certain we would have heard something official by now. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Do you think the 2021 Tomb Blaster refurbishment will be as good as the rumoured 2022 one? I dont want to see them break the tradition pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 This “Tomb Blaster year xxxx Refurbishment” thing is becoming more speculative than what the next iPhone will be like? And yes. I suspect the reason why Tomb isn’t listed currently is due to enclosed attractions not being able to open just yet. Hopefully May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaWAH Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 TBF as unrealistic as it is, I do hope Tomb Blaster gets redone at some point. I am sure Merlin are currently scrolling through their book of mediocre IP's as we speak. SteveJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Find it amusing that people will pay through the nose for a map that if you were sensible could find a PDF of online and print it off yourself.

Chessington Buzz said too me via Facebook that no external changes have taken place to Tomb Blaster. Of course this does not guarantee that Forbidden Tomb has returned in all but name. Obviously the Forbidden Tomb sign is still above the entrance so the canvas sign saying Tomb Blaster could be taken away at the last minute to expose the Forbidden Tomb one.
