I had a day at Chessington today and was Intrested to see construction progress but @Jared just posted new pics so all that has changed since is they have a big drill now
Here is a look at the site for the new main entrance.
Even though you cannot get into the park from this side eveyone was trying to get into the main car park, instead of saying before the turning they had a sign just far enough in saying you had to use the hotel car park instead, this led to long queues before getting to the park.
Mini report:
So the park could do with some TLC, they are adding quite a few rides this and next year but loads of effects were not working from lights and sensors in tomb blaster, no fountains in Gruffalo and no waterfall finale in the safari left me a bit sad, paint was needed in many areas and I think a bunch of tress have been removed over time making it feel less natural.
Also we could have gotten in for free, walked past the ticket purchase booths (booked online), had bag checked and walked through the unmanned turnstiles, no one was there to scan our code other than a security guard looking at the otters, really odd but he seemed happy.
Longest queue we were in was Dragons Fury at 20mins, but the longest was the tiny log flume at 45mins, some grumpy parents in that queue.
Also there looks to be a cover for the stacked cars for dragons fury going up, fits right into the theming so far
Vampire was a walk on most of the day but what we think was a broken scent box was kicking out “coffin smell” non stop so we could only managed three goes before feeling sick.
Other than that it was nice to get back after quite a while, the biggest new things for me were Room on the broom and Croc drop which were both….egh, but we did get on everything we wanted and had plenty of time for re-rides. With not to many people around the animals all seemed to be more chill and out a lot more to which was nice to see
