Chessington World of Adventures Resort

[Trooper Looper]

Some new World of Jumanji updates today!

First one from a Facebook page

And some more from a YouTuber's vlog uploaded today shows the themed signage installed for Mandrill Mayhem.

I must say, Im a really big fan of the logo above the main entrance. It looks very detailed, and it's probably hand painted, which is something I greatly appreciate.

I recently sent Chessington some feedback directly and they seemed to confirm in a reply they are working on getting the third train up and running for Vampire. I had noted it moved from wherever it was originally to behind Scorpion Express where they are currently rebuilding that back up. Assume as they have so many problems with the Vampire trains that this can only be good news for the park.

I guess by this, there is no immediate plan to remove/re-track the ride just yet either.

From Croc Drop you can see two Vampire seats together. That's it.

I'd be very surprised if the park have committed to returning something but you never know

It’s not official confirmation but it may be true?

I think just the fact that they refer to it as the 3rd track, and not train, shows that they have no idea what they're talking about. Generic "Oh something's broken, well we're working hard to fix it!" reply.

Chessington struggle to run Vampire on two trains let alone three. The third train would probably stack on lift hill two.

Possibly, who knows?

They do need a spare as it’s often down to 1.

Perhaps they are taking steps to make it serviceable again so they can always run it on two trains.

The recent issues of having it run on one caused very long queues and very poor feedback from the poor people waiting.

I doubt they would ever run it on three again. But having three trains available (as I think Thorpe do with Stealth?) to maintain capacity would certainly help.

Difference is, they can use it when one inevitably breaks.

 

[Acl90]

Absolutely not. They’ve referred to it as the third track (might be a typo) but that probably shows they have no idea. Why would they?!

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

One train 30m queue on a Saturday. Dragons fury now on 15m queue aswell. Wonder why it’s so quiet?

Rugby game at Twickenham?

Bank Holiday weekend, blackout date for most passholders

 

[John_P]

Wasn't this the first weekend due to be effected by strikes as well. Likely they were called off so late any guests considering going might've booked to go elsewhere.

Just checked it’s only Sunday and Monday blackout (apart from discovery of course)

 

[AT86]

As above I suspect as they pulled the tickets from sale when the strikes were announced and contacted all hotel bookings to move them if that’s what people wanted combined with the local publicity the strikes got in the press is all playing a bit part in the low crowds.

Looking at the queue times it seems like it would be in ideal day with very reasonable wait times.

You can bet all the feedback machines will be working perfectly today!

*checks prices* - £17.50 to eat at Pizza Pasta at Chessington these days and they have removed the regular plates and replaced them with paper ones.

Not only a quality downgrade but as pizza covered paper/card can’t be recycled it will all end up in the bin. What an absolutely ridiculous situation.

Sorry for the double post, but in the interest of balance:

That pizza looks rather sad though. I'd still eat it like.

 

[Benzin]

Real plates but not real pizza.
