Chessington World of Adventures Resort

I generally find Chessington Buzz to be quite reliable. While they don’t have a perfect track record, no one does, and quite a few things they’ve said in the past have come true, from my experience.
 
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.

Isn't it Buzz who made up the rumours about Rita being relocated? They're not worth reading, they've got a very "we know more than you do" attitude, without ever saying anything till its confirmed, or proven otherwise.

Throw enough speculation at the wall and you might be right eventually.

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.
 
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!

Possible further evidence of Minecraft IP coming to a RTP (namely Chessington but Towers was also a possibility in the research).

Wasn't it spotted in the US a couple of years back and there it was left to rot. Why would they want a super old flat that's coming to the end of its life anyway and was last operational 6 years ago

Buccaneer was in Canada I think they posted a few months back

Guess they're cheap and people think for a reasonable outlay they can get them operating again

Judging from the reviews of this park, sounds pretty much par for the course - the place sounds derelict, dirty and dodgy with some very suspect moneygrabbing (eg men stalking the “free” car park and demanding cash).
 
At the passholders day and it seems very quiet today. Walk on for a lot of rides however the coasters apart from Mandrill seem to gather a bigger queue. It's ironic that Mandrill had a virtual queue when Vampire seems to need one more 🤔

Had a random thought, what if the intention is to move the Dodgems, Wave Swinger and Jungle Bus to random areas of the park.

I'm thinking could it be Elmer's Flying Jumbos that makes way for one of the relocations as it's reaching the end of it's service life and be replaced like for like in Project Play?

It's a random thought that probably may not happen anyway.
