I honestly don't mind these. Both Jumbo's and Toadies didn't look in the best condition last year so making them look nicer is a decent use of money.Where did you get these from?

I'm offended; I posted them before The Sun even had that article online. As if I'd resort to their tripe anyway!
I had a copy of the press release from which they were attached

There would be fights if you could ride Elmer unless all the elephants were Elmer which might look a little boring.I see that Elmer is the only elephant that you can't ride![]()

Chessington posted on their Facebook wall today:
It includes a link to a new page on the Chessington website called The Rainforest:
Chessington World of Adventures Resort unearths a NEW Land, the Rainforest, featuring three rides!
Perfect for families with kids in search of their first wild adventure, explore the rainforests of the world by road, taking the wheel on Jungle Rangers; by river, making a splash on mini-log flume, River Rafts, and from the treetop canopy, bouncing up high on Treetop Hoppers, all while spotting creatures including tortoises and capybaras, the world’s largest rodent.
JUNGLE RANGERS
Little explorers take the wheel on Jungle Rangers, a car ride where they navigate their vehicle along the trail, spotting creatures along the way.
RIVER RAFTS
Make a splash on mini-log flume, River Rafts – watch out though for the cheeky chimps that live along the waterway!
TREETOP HOPPERS
Climb above the treetop canopy, bouncing up high on Treetop Hoppers, but be careful, what goes up...

Is this why we got the token black guy in the concept art.

I love that one of those elephants used to be pink, only to be painted grey, only to be painted pink again.
He's back to living his best life.

Looking at the plans for the 2021 drop tower set to replace Rameses with its Crocodile theming etc it would appear the plan is to extend this Rainforest area out into Forbidden Kingdom next year.
This will leave Tomb Blaster out on a bit of a limb, perhaps that is the next ride up for a retheme/replacement?

Tomb blaster is dire in its current form. Its almost as bad asvthe Enegylandia shooter dark ride (which is possibly the worst dark ride I have ever been on). The difference between the two is the Enegylandia one is funny bad whilst tomb blaster is sad bad due to its rundown appearance and plethora of broken effects. Hope they find some funding to either replace or revamp itLooking at the plans for the 2021 drop tower set to replace Rameses with its Crocodile theming etc it would appear the plan is to extend this Rainforest area out into Forbidden Kingdom next year.
