Frazzle
Frazzle the Dragon has lived at Chessington World of Adventures since the mid-1980s, terrifying mildly entertaining the children who have visited by appearing from his abodes, speaking to them in a deep booming voice and soon going back to his slumber in a mysterious fashion.
Frazzle's Homes
His first colour was red and he lived in the Mystic East, which is also (vaguely) themed around dragons where he used to live in a (vaguely) Chinese mythology themed home. He used to be much brasher and more upfront on whenever you touched the special treasure left hanging around in Mystic East, but according to many Chessington staff members, he was nicer in person in comparison to his frightening entertaining animatronic status.
Here is Frazzle in 1992.
Currently he is located in Land of the Dragons at the entrance of Dragons Fury, protecting the now-former Skips sponsorship rights with the colour scheme of greeny-blue with a bit of red still retained. Unfortunately due to the move back in 2004, Frazzle looked rough and slightly bored in comparison to at least 15 years back due to his growing age and the annoying amount of minions who keep daring to steal the Skips sponsorship. Thankfully he was repainted for the 2010 season, so yay!
Here is Frazzle in 2009.
Legends
There is are two well known legends about Frazzle that are still yet to be uncovered:
- He was the pet dragon animatronic of John Wardley after the success of the park.
- BRIAN BLESSED is the voice actor behind Frazzle, which explains the pseudo-epic voice.
