All UK theme parks could do with more seating. It's something I mention at every theme park that rolls out customer surveys. Not like benches cost a bomb!
Market Square looks very good. Tarmac looks awful in theme parks, reminds me of fun fairs rather than themed environments. Nice to see they have a nicely paved and themed flooring. Looks great!

As long as its still manual, its the best ride to operate. I'll never forget the round of applauses I got from my days as a Runaway operator. ;D

Blame Varney. He said it. :/

Fastrack confirmed for Scorpion Express. :/ In an email form Chessington Holidays:
The email also touched on other infomation not really worth mentioning.
Lets just hope it's in replacement for Truckers' Fastrack.

Runaway Train had Fastrack for years so this won't have any repercussions on other rides. At least now it will have an real queue/merge point rather than a funny gate stuck on the side to let fastrack guests cut in.

Agree, the original I found to be very charming indeed! The new bricks look nice.
You hear that.
Look at pictures from Chessington's halcyon years and then repeat....
THE BRICKS LOOK NICE.
Saying nothing else on the matter.

Possibly Chessie's STUPIDEST idea in recent history, which is impressive...

SIGH. Who is writing this, and why can't Merlin ever get their apostrophes correct?

It's a figure-of-8 powered coaster.

Fun, Fun, Fun. Scorpion Express' new mini site is now public:
http://www.chessington.com/scorpion/
A village over taken by scorpions.... Not quite as it seems. It's all coming together, now the story and everything. Only area of that description we haven't seen in the construction is the Gold Mine. Oh well. :
Ill have to see on the 22nd.

I don't even know what this is... Merlin seem very keen on product tie-ins on EVERYTHING though...
Because that is what a lot of guests want. Look at Thomas Land at Drayton Manor or Nickelodeon Land at Pleasure Beach. The Madagascar character meet & greet is also very popular.
However, after googling I don't think these characters suit the children's zoo really as there are no goats, turkeys, ducks or pigs in those characters! Maybe they should of just done a separate thing with the characters and a shop.

The part I'm angry about is the possibility of YooHoo graphics on the website and map. That would kill the feeling of something different from average life. The map just gives out that atmosphere of escapism.
EDIT: For me it does, anyway.
