Practically half of the park is under construction at the moment - it's going to be unrecognisable in a few years!

I am in love with that theming 😍

The park looks well themed in areas, but you can't surely hope to survive and attract people with such a mediocre ride lineup? They all look or do the exact same thing?

I can definitely see Chessington leaning into the IP's, as they won't actually have that many lands left with the removal of Wild Asia and Mexicana. Essentially, you'll have; Land of the Dragons - Fairly old and could easily be rethemed to something different. Forbidden Kingdom - Probably...

It's going to be a hell of an upgrade - the building looks super funky. It was feeling rather dated when I rode it back in 2024, so hopefully it will really bring it into the 31st century.

What incredible news - looking forward to years of mud updates.

I do feel like Wild Asia could potentially be closed in phases - it seems quite dramatic to close the entire land 2 years before the planned opening and remove 4 rides from an already depleted lineup.

The space is massive - it's going to be a massive investment for the park, I imagine on a similar scale to that of Tornado Springs 😍

Look a great new addition for this year. Loving the effort they're putting into this 😍 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkud1nZB704

It's such a cool concept - and it looks to be executed with a really unique theme too. However, I do hope they dial down the rapids as that looks a soaker!

Honestly - I get that it's popular and I understand that it makes business sense, but I hate it. The soul is literally being sucked out of Chessington - it just seems like creativity is a thing of the past and they have to rely on jarring IP's to fill the void. Such a shame in my opinion, as...

Given the abundance of flat rides that are available in the market today, I found this addition to be quite boring, bland, and just plain odd. They've already re-done Nemesis to the exact same specifications as previous with a few new theming elements - why bring back a somewhat lacklustre ride...

Do we have any evidence pointing to a Minecraft theme? On the one hand I can see the sense in it, but on the other hand, it seems really sad to rip out a fairly well-themed land to replace it with a gimmick. Money talks 🤑

I find it utterly bizarre that a theme park plans to open in under 1 year - and currently there isn't a single ride in situ.

Sounds like the work of ChatGPT to me.

Very exciting times for Paulton's - they've got some of the most exciting plans in the UK coming up I'd argue!

Probably all of the above - seems like fairly easy fixes to stop something like that from happening again. I think it will especially be a problem at the start of the season when the weather can be much colder + later in October.

Well, at least they got it open for 4 full days before they had another big issue 🙃

It looks like such a lacklustre investment. The name, the styling, the story, the ride type - it's all so meh.

I find the entire marketing campaign for the new attraction somewhat lacklustre. Outside of the theme park community, I think they've really missed the mark. Hopefully, once it's open they'll throw the kitchen sink at it, as they really need to - this can't be a cheap machine so they'll need...
