Thank you to Chris, Coaster MILF, Reb, Raybould, Hixee, Josh, Dr Dave, Kayleigh, Dev, New Will, Original Will, Sue and Rob for a relaxing, but tiring, two days! Some nice chats had, some memorable rides - front row Stealth at night is fab, the leaking log flume boat, uneventful Rapids, Det swaying in the wind, the fab Croc Drop, watching people bored on DBGT, and THAT spin on Dragons Fury was spectacular - and some silly entertainment with airdropping and judging.
Chessington is looking great but Thorpe is not. The amount of graffiti makes any Spanish theme park look clean in comparison - although reading it the Swam queue did help kill some time! The whole park needs a lick of paint and deep clean. Stealth’s tyre and op cab looks like it’s about to fall apart. Angry Birds looks washed out. Inferno’s seats are black rather than red, but I was pleased to see the mist working. Another positive is the park didn’t feel threatening after dark, the atmosphere felt chilled….might be due to the constant smell of dope, though!
Cheers once again to the tight-knit group who helped me leave with a smile. As promised, those who attended may have a customised forum title! Please drop me or Hixee a PM.
