Finally 😀 that definitely is a sensible move on Chessington's part

Hoping Towers follows suit with Curse and Hex

I could see it with hex (you have TWODW near by, something which I recall opening over winter (or at least seems like it wouldn't be hard to open) but not curse, it is so far from the open areas of the park, you would essentially have to walk through Katanga canyon I can't see it getting much (if any) foot fall

Could open Curse with a christmas overlay, Runaway Mine Train, Nemesis Sub Terra could all run over winter maybe Wickerman to

RMT and wickerman would be in winter maitanence, they may be able to get them running, but it would be quite a struggle (and probably have an impact on next years opps), I am not sure on what NST needs for maitanence, as it is essentially a flat ride I wouldn't imagine much, but 2 rides that far from most of the rest of them is still not that good
 
Its nice more rides are opening at Chessington during winter I think they could go further. Could Gruffalo open at winter. And Maybe these new lands alongside the current lineup.
 
New Zoo Reforms announced by DEFRA

Seems like the changes we’re seeing at Chessington might be partially directed by the UK government’s changes in the laws around zoos. Including bigger enclosures for larger animals, of which changes in law will fully be in effect by 2030. Potentially, this means that we could see enclosures like Tiger Rock and Trail of the Kings phased out and removed. Having some animals relocated to the Zufari area, with bigger enclosures.

This means that Chessington has at least two major expansion plots to fill before the arrival of Universal. Hopefully we see at least one original theme as part of that, so Chessington isn’t solely reliant on IP and legacy attractions.

Hope they keep Tiger Rock Flume it's actually a really good Log Flume just needs née theming and effects. Imagine a Water on Tiger Rock like the ending of Gruffalo River Ride Adventure

I'm at CWOA now, and Tomb Blaster is hideously bright. For example, you can easily see the Anubis scene (and a lot of scaffolding) from the brake run. It really isn't in a very good state.
