Just a quick one about that. They cut the top off to see how strong the rest of it was. Then covered it up and secured it.

It will probably stay like that forever now! Suppose it kind of fits in with the rides new prison theme.

So will they rebuild the theming on the scaffold frame or will they demolish that too and start from scratch..?

Stuff like that dodgy scaffolding suggests that most of these structures were not designed to last 26+ years anyway. I imagine when they built Chessington they were gambling on whether the public would receive a theme park well, and therefore did not want to spend huge amounts on hard wearing construction.
26 years is good enough, everything has served its purpose well but they must invest in better maintenance this time whilst rebuilding everything they removed.
Cutting the obelisk in half to test its strength is… unusual to say the least. Please replace it!

At this rate, Chessington will be little more than a glorified funfair come summer.

Be fair, its an easy mistake to make.
Anway it's not the tomb being raided, just the theming.
