themeparkmad Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Have there been further rules from Huss? 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...

Kevin Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 The ride has started to be covered in an 'upside down U' set of scaffolding - ride will be unavailable for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HermanTheGerman Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'd be very surprised if that wasn't a website glitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'd be very surprised if that wasn't a website glitch. Most likely, but it has been 75-90mins before on one staff operation during the holidays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk3 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 It must have been a glitch - went back to 5 mins about 30 mins later. Even the website's failing :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
