On the one hand I agree, but on the other Chessington need to be seen to be doing a full, thorough safety check of the entire attraction, whether it needs it or not.

It's really not hard to understand. The change will allow people of the same gender to marry each other the way that people of opposite genders can now. It's really that simple. Forgive my ignorance - but cant same sex couples already do this by means of a civil partnership? A good comparison is se...

I... Gosh I don't know. The responses in this thread really have thrown me. I get the feeling that Simon made this thread half in jest, and yet people have jumped down his throat as if he has been incredibly rude, insulting and patronising. He certainly hasn't been any of those things (the third per...

Is this really necessary?

I think the number of thanks for this post, compared with the number of thanks for Simon's post, kinda shows what the community as a whole feels about the necessity of this thread

There's actually been a discussion about this on an American friend of mine's wall today, and he makes some really interesting points: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v616/BHHIslander/MacGayRantConvo.png Essentially, I think I agree with him (Scott, that is, not the kid this thread centres around!...

It's interesting to note that on the latest version of the underground map (dated June), the Emirates Airline is no longer depicted as being 'under construction', suggesting that it may open soon...

So it was, fail on my part.

That will have come from the comment posted on Facebook a couple of hours back, from someone connected to the family: To all those people asking how Jessica is today (Sunday) -- I've just spoken to her aunt. She says her neice is still critical. A terrible time for the family. She's asked me to than...

The aunt's also saying a fair bit on Facebook (which, incidentally, doesn't seem to have calmed down massively since last night - still people talking of "sewing the park" and the like...

To be fair, I'm really not sure what you expected when booking a family room for four adults - as has been said, they're family rooms, designed primarily for families. Doesn't mean they don't accommodate four adults (and as such they'll certainly be booked out to groups of four adults), but it's rea...

From Chessington Buzz: On the 7th June a young girl accidentally fell from the bridge queueline leading towards Tomb Blaster in Forbidden Kingdom at 1pm. Climbing through a gap pointed out by another young visitor, the 4 year old girl fell 30 feet in front of fellow guests and is now suffering 'frac...

In regards to the free tickets being "void after resale", how is it even possible for any of the park's staff to look at the tickets and tell they have been resold? 'Cause loads of people on eBay etc. are stupid enough to post pictures of the tickets, barcodes and all, on their listing. T...

I should imagine there's enough space in Ireland to build the world's number one GCI woodie, in terms of size/length/height, quality, thrills, everything. An entire country's a pretty big space to work with...

Something that was mooted here and there during South Meet (and I honestly don't know whether this is complete conjecture, or whether there's some substance behind it, and nor do I know where it originated...) was the idea that Vengeance from the London Dungeons may well be relocated to Thorpe next ...

Legoland as well, during Christmas shopping opening.

Given that it's the very last clause, it wouldn't surprise me if this was added recently as a direct response to the issue .

Either way, agree that it's taking the mick a bit to use it as a general car park.

It's interesting how all the DLP fans/fansites on Twitter are being a little condescending about it (e.g. "It feels more a bit like a technical demonstration for WET rather than taking you on any actual journey though...", "would be improved with a few water screens and projections. T...

Oh lordy, that's gonna make for an... interesting... day on park that Tuesday. Think I'll give it a wide berth...

I mean, for people to say that Inferno is " bitterly despised " is just laughable, to be honest. Mark, you need to be far less passive aggressive if you disagree with what someone says (for everyone else, that was my quote). For what it's worth, I didn't know it was your quote, I just saw...

The barriers at Warwick are operated by the card itself, much like those at the southern parks (though oddly they don't use the same Skidata system), so strikes me as likely that uses are logged.
