I’m sure I heard John say in an interview somewhere last year that he hadn’t been to Chessington in something like 25 years.

Poor bloke is in for a shock.

Although, regarding Vampire, I think it needs some more cobwebs and fabric on the ceiling, like it used to have.

Compare it to now, it just looks a bit.. empty.

I know they’ve had some real trouble with the ceiling - but I can’t imagine sticking some cloth and cobwebs up there would bring the roof down (or the bank).

I’d also argue the new music and chandeliers look a bit lame. I can excuse the chandeliers; yet again, ceiling, but the new music is inexcusable. It just doesn’t have any kick.

Trouble with the ceiling? Like what?

I heard it’s quite weak; I think there’s a pretty strict weight limit for what they can hang off the ceiling. I’m pretty sure the Original chandeliers were too heavy, hence how they were removed. Then they bought the (much lighter!) truss ones we have now.

As much as I’d like to see some more decor, I do like the station having a ceiling and Bubbleworks have a floor.

I can’t remember where I head this to be honest, but I’m %90 sure it’s correct.

Sorry the sources only go as far as; “Trust me bro.”
 
App has been updated showcasing the opening dates for the new areas. Interesting that one is referred to as a new land and the other as just something coming, I'm not sure if this has any reference. Either way this season is going to be an interesting one capacity wise.

I think this is just to make it a bit different, if you came and saw 2 signs that says "new land coming in X" it doesn't seem as good, also they may want to push this supposed Minecraft more as a world.

also Is it just me or is the coming in something coming wonky?
 
It would seem that the Tiger Rock tunnel theming has been removed at Chessington to “allow for trough access”:

I get that they need to access it for H&S reasons, but that doesn’t look good at all…
 
It appears as though Chessington have also jazzed up the “danger cave” on ZUFARI:

It looks nice… but I thought it was meant to be a “danger cave”? It doesn’t look terribly dangerous in there at the moment, and it just goes straight through instead of stopping like it used to…
EDIT - To be fair, it appears as though this is part of a wider revamp, with the queue and former pre-show area also being made a lot more colourful and receiving some new theming:
