Professor Burp's Bubbleworks was the UK's first theatrically brilliant dark ride, designed by God. It opened in 1990 at Chessington World of Adventures; built on an unused hill, in a warehouse also housing the station to the Vampire rollercoaster. It used a water based transit system, manufactured by MACK Rides. Riders were taken riders around a fizzy pop factory, run by the main character, the eccentric 'Professor Burp', through many different scenes. The ride was visually destroyed for the 2006 season with a new soap based theme and more exciting name, Bubbleworks. Yay.
[edit] Ride Experience
Riders queue in and out of an archway and through a corridor of peeling blue paint, before heading into the ride station. Immediately the sound of crass and inappropriate music is heard, where previously a loud and triumphant fanfare was played.
