Cocomelon is the king of shit that parents let their kids watch instead of said kid screaming at a restaurant (probably because it’s easier than parenting!)
A true Cocomelon land would put detail into making the whole are a look like crappy computer animation, and it’s main gimmick would just be “leave your kids at the front door and bugger off!”. Would certainly fit the source material!
No. Absolutely not. It’s a crime against humanity.
Bluey I’d be fine with. I cant say Ive actually watched it, I’m more than a bit old for it, but I’ve actually heard it is a show that actually has stuff happening.

If you haven't, go on Disney or iPlayer and watch the faceytalk episode. It's got that adult humour Pixar used to have.

Buzz also straight out denied that Wild Asia would be the area getting redeveloped whilst making out they had some inside information, they made themselves look foolish with that one.

Chessington Buzz is watching this forum... be prepared 
We visited Chessington yesterday and there were a couple of little things we noticed. Firstly in the Gruffalo ride the floor as you get into the building and walk onto the ride was covered in litter and this was at 10:30am. I find it hard to believe that much littler had been dropped and not noticed in the short amount if time the ride had been open so can only assume most of it was from the day before.
Also, the staff were miserable as sin, noticeably more so than usual. Most of them looked bored sh!tless and clearly didn't want to be there, yawning, picking at their fingernails, grunting at you instead of speaking. The saving grace was the security guard that checked out bags, the Seatopia cast and the Gruffalo/Witch meet & greets. I am sure it has been a long year and most of them would rather be somewhere else, but they really shouldn't make it so obvious. Night and day compared to the staff at Paultons last week.

Popped in for a few hours yesterday. Mandrill Mayhem's bounce is noticeably worse now in the front row on the right wing. The final turn into the station tried its best to do my back in. It rode smoother in other rows, but the bounce is definitely far more noticeable than it was last season.... I dread to think how it could ride next season. The Banyan show was the strongest it's ever been, great use of pyrotechnics and fire. Vile Villagers is a pretty good scare zone, I wasn't expecting too many scares, but they were plentiful, though it is a shame that the final tunnel looks as plasticky as it does!
