    That's exactly what was insinuated. I don't know what has been done to justify that budget since I don't think much work besides the essentials was performed over the closed season, but that's what's being said.

    Without saying too much, consider me well informed lol

    Gotta recoupe that JAMANJI money 😢 Edit: also, this is largely conjecture, but it's possible their yearly spending budget is a lot higher than you might assume; apparently maintaining Vampire last year cost the park more than what the whole of Jamamji cost to build. It could be that, after...

    Chessington World of Adventures Resort

    It was slated to open in late May; staff were training for it (as much as you can without riding) and then it was pushed back to around June 20th, and now that it's July, there seems to be no news on its future. I'm not sure what's going on, but I can only assume that things do not bode well...

    That's pretty decent, but where are you getting these stats from?

    Free batching is awful though lol. The general public are absolute monsters when left to their own devices lol. Still, they can't continue batching from the platform. It could work with other rides, but the music in the station is dreadfully loud. Also, in response to @Skyscraper : They aren't...

    But real queues shut at 6pm too? As I understand, the app shouldn’t give you a time past 6pm (however the 45 minutes to claim will extend past that), so I guess you’ve just gotta be on the ball if you’ve got a 5:59 code lol.

    Manufacturer says 500 per hour, tests with just dummies is 350 per hour. 🤷‍♂️

    There was this guy that was on his 48th ride. Honestly, some of you guys are crazy lol. Did you ride anything else?

    Bottled water for £3.12 is insane lol

    No it really is the best I love Jumanji.

    A lot of people were praising it today. All that I asked rated it as the best coaster at the park, with an emphasis on its acceleration. I find the general public are a bit more ready to be wowed than us lot though.

    Everyone complains about capacity, but I've honestly never seen it that busy. In the 90's, I remember 2 to 3 hours queues for vamp, but the longest I've waited since 2016 is 45 mins. I guess I'm just lucky. 🤷‍♀️

    It was doing test runs today. It was supposed to open two weeks ago but now is supposed to be June as there's still some issues apparently. I overheard that ride ops won't be able to manually extend the ride like before. Also heard something about smoke coming out, but I wasn't sure if that was...

    Chessington is actually in really good shape at the moment. The difference between my most recent visit and my visit prior are night and day. I don't think it holds a candle to the 1998 - 2004 era of the park, but it's certainly a lot better than it has been in recent years. If they had the...

    Chessington World of Adventures Resort

    Unfortunately, I don't think they have the staff to do so at the moment. With a third train added, they'd be sending a train out pretty frequently, and currently they're using the time between sending trains out to batch from the station. I can only image how difficult that would be with a...

    They're currently running only one train on vampire lol.

    Oo yes, “Peppa Pig’s Spit Roast’. It’ll be a worlds first. We can have fresh bacon vendors after every go around. Jesus. This is summoning some very dark imagery lol. I apologise.
