Ryan Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 The Ice Age land will have a twister type ride, a maze like saw but bassed around the ice age films and a water dingy ride like storm surge then the coaster in 2012The Ice Age land will be be in a new section of land in the park maybee in one of the grass car park areas close to wild asia then I will add a muli floor car park in the grass car parkI know it's YOUR Chessington but just a few pointers! "Maze like Saw" - Hocus Pocus Hall?"Water dingy ride" - Bit pointless with Thorpe getting Storm Surge.Ice Age is a dying brand, if you were going to make a new land themed around films try something more modern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Ice Age is a dying brand, if you were going to make a new land themed around films try something more modern Thorpe did it with Saw, so I can see his reasoning Mark9 and Ryan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be left in peace... Originality is something Chessie should focus on due to the park's in place structure...

Mark9 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 If you want to be completely true to life, some of Chessington's rides such as Rameses, Buccaneer, Toytown, Fury and Rattlesnake are dressed up fairground rides (Or can be fairground models for all the pedantics out there)...

peep Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I think these rides are good and wood fit in well with chessieWhat ones have you been on then Mr Coasterfreck? I've been on the one at Parc Asterix and although fun (the first time) it takes up so much space and could easily be replaced by a much better attraction. It's made to look like a water ride but it's not, it's just a big dingy where you spin a lot, if the weight distribution is right. I'm totally against your bizarre idea of Chessington getting one due to the fact that it's boring once you've done it once, it takes up a huge amount of space (something in which Chessington lacks) and generally looks horrid as they are hard/expensive to theme.The whole fairground argument is silly, everyone knows (or should know) that theme parks are permanent fairgrounds with added theming to make it a better experience. The rides are (in most cases) looked after better maintenance-wise at theme parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rides are (in most cases) looked after better maintenance-wise at theme parks.Is the right answer!Look at Disney, rides like Teacups, Dumbo, Star Tours and similar are just effectively dressed up 'fairground' rides... What makes a ride fairgroundy anyways? Ok but they dont have many 1.4 rides like TP and altonNeither does Legoland, but this is due to the main target audience of the park... Chessie has only ever had 3 rides with a 1.4m restriction, 1 of them having a 1.2m one when it opened... What do you expect from a park that got aimed at kids (and now the tween/family market)? 90% of the park being adult thrill?Having rides with high restrictions doesn't make you have a good park... I've been on plenty lacklustre 1.4m rides which are very inferior to some 1.2m and less rides... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterfreck Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Thorpe did it with Saw, so I can see his reasoning Thank you Benin and also shreak is also a diying brand so why are alton making a shreak 4D attraction becasue they have just done the final film Edited December 4, 2010 by COASTERFRECK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.man Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Why wood you repaint vampire it is epic as it is?and in 2014: A Magic Carpet ride in the space of Rattlesnake. why wood you get rid of rattlesnake its is also epic tooI wood get rid of dragons fury I realy dislike that coaster it makes me feel sickAlot of people love Fury, dont go on it if it makes you feel sick. Repainting Vampire wont do anything to the 'epicness' of it, just make it look nicer. Also Rattlesnake, most kids cant go on it, so either replace it with a Magic Carpet or get single lap bars and replace the height limit.If you want to be completely true to life, some of Chessington's rides such as Rameses, Buccaneer, Toytown, Fury and Rattlesnake are dressed up fairground rides (Or can be fairground models for all the pedantics out there)...I must say I have never seen a ride like Fury at a fairground:L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricBlll Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Yes, lowering the height limit for Rattlesnake would do wonders for the ride and the little thrill seekers.However, removing it altogether just because it has a bit of a high height restriction is a bit extreme. You know, the restriction would only rule out about a third of the visitors to Chessington, not everybody. So there are still loads of people who would want to ride it, not everybody is a child under 1.4m.But, yes, a refurbishment of the ride's rather old fashioned cars would do wonders for it.

Mr.man Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 But Magic Carpets are great for kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricBlll Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 True, but it should not replace Rattlesnake. Rattlesnake is great for slightly taller kids, you see, and fun-loving young adults/teenagers as well. It is a bit of a Chessington classic as well and would be missed sorely.

Mr.man Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Well then they should build a Magic Carpet where Rodeo was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 ^Well, one like the one at Tibididido won't happen, since Chessie lacks the hill as seen in the image above...And why in 2015 to replace Vamp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Williams Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well, If Chessington was mine then the first thing I would do is have the zoo destroyed and all the animals eliminated.Next I would proceed to destroy ALL of the rides, with the exceptions of Bubbleworks and Rattlesnake.To replace the destroyed rides and the zoo I would build a launch rollercoaster that is 50,000 feet high and over 7 miles long. It would pull over 20 G's and reach speeds of over 600 miles an hour.Also, the guests would have to pay £250 to enter the park.So in my ideal Chessie, there would only be Bubbleworks, Rattlesnake and my new mega-coasterthoughts?
