Chessington World of Adventures Resort

So, Chessington have done a thing.

I really don't know how someone signed off on that as a good idea. Perhaps coincidentally, I believe their creative team left recently too.

Great new electronic signs, park is “closed” so isn’t that bad but then why did someone bother to attach the missing rules...If it’s still like that come 4th July then they deserve negative comments.

Wow, that looks professional! Hopefully not a permanent solution.

Hopefully they're just waiting on a new sign that'll fit round the display

 

[Alsty]

Wow, that looks awful. If there's a replacement sign to go around it I would've thought you'd wait til it was ready and fit both at the same time...

Why order such a large digital sign anyway? A smaller display that just shows the queue time or the word closed would have sufficed.

But with the wrong size digital screen being used, they might as well have removed the whole old sign and replaced with temporary laminated signs rather than this mess.

Seems the new electronic sign was bulk ordered in that size and they’ve put them all over the park.

skip to 6:20 for more on the Room On The Broom

They'll have ordered new signs to go around them I'm sure, just looks like they cocked up the timing. Bigger displays aren't necessarily a bad thing and it looks quite clear. Hopefully it'll still be easy to read on a sunny day.

The worst thing about that sign is the outline of the cutting. Looks like a 5 year old has done it.

But... why on earth would you cut the old sign like that in the meantime? Either remove it entirely and put in the digital sign, or hold back on the digital sign, or temporary put the digital sign next to the actual sign, rather than within it...

Or judging from that view, Sheds: The Ride.

They’ve now changed the temperature check and you park up and then walk towards the turnstiles and join one of two cattle pen queue lines to tents to get checked and wristbands.

Quite impressed with how well things are working which is a surprise.

That should make things run a bit smoother on entry, especially when they increase the capacity limit.

It was busier than I expected today but staff were managing with it well.

There’s now a “group in, group out” for Trail Of The Kings - it sort of works well but you do get a bottleneck at the Gorillas which might need staff to move people on in future.

The hand sanitizer stations are manual push ones so that’ll keep staff busy cleaning them, not sure why they didn’t go automatic route like elsewhere.

Staff still making changes round the park, they are modifying the metal bins so you don’t have to touch them to push stuff in. All staff we encountered were positive and appeared happy to be back.

new sign at Kobra (they’ve updated them everywhere)

Why the bloody hell have they put it there.

No need to clean them as any guest pushing them will be sanitising their hands straight after anyway.

I thought that but saw staff wiping them down so assumed they were doing as part of cleaning

Don’t knock it, it’s leagues above the Room on the Broom screen...
