^ There is more theming too. This is just the largest of the features.

The track isn’t due at Chessington until October/November. Now I’m not sure on shipping times etc. But I’d assume it won’t be long until we start seeing something. [emoji3526]

Footers are starting to go in for Project Amazon! More photos of construction here. Shouldn't this be in Construction? ;)

I’m hoping this is similar to how Tripsdrill and Hansa Park work. Get the rides in, basic theming etc and then add to it for the following season. I agree it needs more rock work. Planting too seems quite bare. Solid investment overall though. Can’t wait to see what they do next!

^ That’s technically not true. In 2019 Chessington over took Thorpe Park for visitor numbers according to Merlin’s own data. We don’t have anything post 2019 as Merlin haven’t released the numbers. In terms of how I feel Thorpe Park is struggling - I mean, upkeep is a start. The place feels...

I think the view is that the ride will run out this season and then close for 2023. It’s heavily rumoured that Sub Terra will be reopening (In some vein) to support with Nemesis being closed. Then, the ride would reopen fresh faced and tarted up for its 30th in 2024.

From my understanding, there will be theming and potentially some animals going into the arcade unit. These are to be confirmed, however.

Here's the latest update, courtesy of myself and Chessington Buzz! Check it out! Also, shouldn't this be in Construction now? :)

Fun Fact: if this thing gets built and it’s a Mack. It’ll be the tallest Mack Coaster in the world.

^ Could be for a Family Wing Coaster, perhaps that’s has smaller track? Not sure on the colours for Chessington’s coaster, so it’s possible that it could be for them, but I’d say more likely for Seaworld.

From what I’ve been told it’s planned to be repainted this closed season ahead of 2023. Sounds like it’ll be changing it’s colours too, but they are yet to be decided.

Sort of. Most of the former station was removed when Dragons Fury was installed. The only small parts of it left is the current location of a set of lockers next to Elmer’s Flying Jumbos. The new Bobbing Barrels ride will sit near that plot near to the lockers building. There’s a planned...

I reckon this will be a B&M Launched Family Wing Coaster.

Basically the rockin’ tug will go on the site of the current basketball games stall opposite the games building. The water mania like you say will replace the Goal Striker building as well as the storage shed next to it.

^ JoshC knows that. He even said as much. Essentially it’s been rumoured Chessington was getting both rides. I’d been hinted at it for at least the last couple of months. Glad they decided not to move Lumber Jump.

Any chance I could have a look too? I was considering making the move off of Coaster-Count to something more my style and love the idea of all the stats you can pull out! [emoji3526]

Not from my understanding. The lap bars were changed from the amazing T-Bars to the newer Intamin full lap bar. Plus the outer shells were completely changed, far more than a standard refurb. Pretty sure I saw it stated on a documentary I watched about it that the trains were new too. Whilst I...

I would assume alongside the retrack they'll purchase new trains. I can't imagine they'd want to keep the same 27-year-old trains on the new track. They bought new trains when they retracked Colossos at Heide Park.
