Chessington World of Adventures Resort

[KolonelKlink]

CWOA seems to be having a very difficult Easter Saturday - park obviously packed while several of the main rides have been down for hours including Vampire, Mandrill and Croc Drop. Fury is on a two-hour wait.

Yeah not a good day for them at all. The 3 mentioned above are still closed and Fury has been down for a couple hours now too.

They've activated a free return today.

 

[Roz123]

Were they closed because of the wind?

Promotional filming has been taking place on Chase's Mountain Mission;

Seems they have removed all the rocks in the landscaping of the Blue Barnacle queue line:

Guessing people have been injured or standing on the rocks very slippy when in wet weather

They were always shouting at people over the tannoy to get off the rocks as you’d often have kids clambering up them.

Conversely was about the only ride we could do without RAP as meant my son could sit down in the queue so that’s a shame.

They should build fold out seats along all the fences in queues of popular rides, you’d have fewer people needing RAP then.

And they'd always be broken, they don't have the maintenance staff as is!

I just discovered that Paw Patrol Adventure Bay opened in Movie Park Germany in 2019!

Will be interesting to see how they compare as they look fairly similar albeit ride options are different:

Looks Intamin to me, but I guess we already knew that.

Be good to see how they construct this, never followed an indoor coaster construction before

 

[Hid]

If this runs like Uncharted it will be phernomenal not sure if it is as big as that though. Is it possible there are a lot of hidden elements inside the building

 

[Jb85]

It’s also possible it will be a very simple coaster …. I think it’ll be more about the theming and interaction with it

Something Uncharted main ride does lack in.

Uncharted great ride, theming weaker

Minecraft coaster weaker ride, strong theming

World of Paw Patrol will open on May 3rd for the bank holiday weekend:

I have never seen Paw Patrol in my life but Christ that's awful! I'm sure it is less awful to kids who love Paw Patrol though.

This just does not feel very Chessington at all to me.

I can confirm that it always looks this crappy.

I miss Keith Chegwin!
