Chessington World of Adventures Resort

[Islander]

Although an entire land themed solely around the architecture of a fascistic state, devoid of life and overseen by a private security firm, is exactly the sort of shenanigans you expect from Merlin.

you know I never thought I’d say it to you, but given you’ve raised this point at least twice now… I think you should probably go get your tin foil hat back on

I almost dislocated my knee on a slide in Hotel Tartüff at Phannyland in it's opening year. Said knee has never quite been the same since. And I've never been on a slide of any kind since. Slides are a lot more dangerous than they look!

Bear in mind though dear that most of the clientele will be a good 40-50 years younger than you were at the opening of Tartüff xx

Apparently the flying jumbos are still in pieces. Kinda like black buccaneer

I believe the Flying Jumbo cars are having restraint modifications due to an incident last year.

I was just expecting it to be done now.

Pups spotted, Blackpool will be sending a cease and desist imminently.

Sad to see more Mexicana theming removed

Well, it served the park well.

A little too well, actually.

As sad as it is seeing Mexicana removed the area itself had become very limited in rides and attraction and those rides really aren't that great at throughput wise for the park. I mean Rattlesnake has poor capacity and Scorpion Express had become really a shadow without those mountains when it was Runaway Train

Apparently the removal of the horse drawn cart and cacti were from the IP holder for paw patrol who wanted them removed

Paw patrol is looking great - so bright and colourful (I hope it lasts). The look out tower slide looks small, but I’m pleased it is actually rideable. The small playground looks like it’ll be good for little ones too - I hope they do that but a bigger version in Minecraft.

Yeah, the usable section of the slide is much smaller than I expected.

Probably scared a few parents!

In fairness all looks lovely and clean now but can’t see this staying in tip top condition

Will look great covered in grime

It just doesn't look like Chessington, to me.

Did anyone say that about benoland when that was colourful to and an IP and had less rides

Probably. I had the same views on that as well.

I mean it's still about animals

Vampire has new theming... again

Still no OG Music though?

Happy to see the ride get some face-lift though!

Yeah but it feels like they keep giving it more and more while other rides get less

Has anyone heard any updates on the gorillas / what will happen with that area?

If there was enough space to house all the gorillas, tigers, lions and other animals, it should be a big plot (albeit not as big as it should have been for such big animals).

What’s everyone’s thoughts on what will happen next?
