MikeyT Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 There's no doubt that Chessington is one of the best themed parks in the UK, full of quirkiness and beautiful design, each area transporting you all over the world.Here you can talk about anything to do with Chessington's themed areas. Got any pictures? Post them here! Shun the non believers.... shunnnnnnn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I Loved Beanoland. That was good themeing.However, I do love Mexicana too, though it is in need of a little TLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark9 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Agreed with the consensus, Thorpe's "lets paint it blue" philosophy is far superior.(Just a shame, some of Chessington's best themed rides and area are now gone ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is extremely sexy Mikey! :PI do agree, despite what people say, that Chessington World of Adventure s is one of the best for scenery within the park!

James6 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Ah I love the one of Dragon's Fury. Where was that taken from? I assume one of the play area's in Land of The Dragons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yeah that's right, you get some absolutely beautiful views of Fury from up there so it's almost a shame it's only for young adventurers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markfranklin Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I had been wondering what happened to the Weather House from Chessington. Last year it was the other side of the pond (ie adjascent to Toadie's Crazy Cars). It was an ex-ToyTown relic where you pressed a button and either a man with an umbrella (+Umbrella Song) or a lady with an ice cream (+Sun Has Got His Hat On) would appear. It needed to shift for Madagascar and out of interest I got in touch with Chessie, they said that it has gone on the basis that it no longer fits in with the theming (I.e. was ToyTown). No indication that it would return. Shame I don't have the space... I could have made an offer for it and kept my daughter amused in the back garden for weeks... My daughter (5) keeps asking me where it has gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
