No chance they'd be repurposing that land for theme park use.

Unless its where Rita is going?

Just posting this if anyone has missed out on this, Euro Theme Park Archive uploaded a POV of the original 1987 Vartiant of The 5th Dimension a while back.

Looking back on it, I'm really impressed with the quality of the animatronics, from moving eyes, blinking, etc. For a UK dark ride, made in 1987, it really does hold up well compared to what the UK offers currently.

Yeah, majorly ahead of its time. Theres some neat jokes in there playing with the fact that it is a ride - I guess thats Douglas Adams for you. Unfortunately, the concept of a dark ride was alien to the UK public at the time. Probably confused them more!

Shunt the glamping down there I reckon. Scenic car park views

Time will tell how good the job will be at Towers.

But Chessington look to be in good shape for next few years with 2 new lands and updating old rides
