As I'm fairly sure it wasn't taking 10 minutes a cycle even at the end of last season.The same.You need an adult on the end of each how. However, unlike the Blade, even if they are 1.3m - they must be 16 or over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Ahh okay thanks . If only we could go back to the days of 0.9m restriction for pirate ships, tea cups and Log flumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Chessington is just far too risk averse for its own good to be honest.Blade is anyone whos feet touch the ground can sit on outside, which is deemed.. majority on the ride anyway. What I don't understand, is that unlike lego and towers equivs.. chessington still doesn't allow more than 5 to a row when there's children involved - whereas the official guidelines are 5 adults.

Kevin Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Restriction is changing from tomorrow - it is now only one person over 1.3m instead of also having to be over 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
