That's why vampire runs so well still to this day for a coaster to be over 30yrs you can see they look after it so well and that's why vampire still runs so well even till this day

I loved doing this! Its so much fun! Glad to see you enjoyed too!!

Very interesting video, really enjoyed, would love to do this, but won't be this year? Hoping they offer it again in future. But yeah good vlog, enjoyed & look forward to more videos in future. 😀👍

It's worth every penny me and my daughter were the only ones on the tour we had the engineers with us and got very technical we did see the switch track in motion I'm glad you enjoyed it will be very interesting to see what is planned for vampire

Very interesting. Rode it in 1990, shortly after it opened, and they said to come back after the park had closed as they were looking for volunteers to add weight for testing. So we went back and had a dozen or so rides with lots of official looking men in suits holding clipboards and stopwatches. Think they were testing for 3 train operation. But I guess it wasn't going well as the suits were having heated discussions and nobody looked happy. I was glad to get out of there, it was a bad atmosphere!

Erm, the old trains *did* have the wheel at the bottom to stop them swinging. It was exactly the same concept with the original bat cars. Did the guide really say that the original cars didn’t swing? 😱

Very informative thank you Adam 👍

Thanx for this behind the scenes tour for vampire ride adam, I was 8 years old when I first went on vampire back in 1990. Now 42 in 2024 still one of my favourite rides at chessington. Really hope they retrack and revamp the vampire as it's over 30 years old. ❤

Which is better Red Devil or atmosfear or are they the same thing

Does anyone remember the Witch statue at Halloween season during 2006-9 before to getting off the ride.

Good to see this vlog , when are you going to do a Fair vlog Adam 👍

It Looks a lot different with the lights on

Feat dangling better 😊

Looks really good

I remember watching a tour from 2010 the video is still on KZbin and in the tunnel they had strobe lights cashiers inside and screeching bat sound effects sad to see that they got removed and it would be cool if the moved the rodeo statue closer so you could actually notice it and take in the detail before you go up the lift hill Great video

literally crying going on the 22nd

Was at the park Monday with my 4yr old. It was busy seeing as school trips had decended but we still managed every ride in Thomas land + 11 other rides around the park! I only live on the other side of Brum (30-40 mins away) so been thinking about grabbing a season pass next year!!

I’ll be there 27th

Looks amazing and whippy

We’ve just been at the park for the last 2 days (Tuesday and Wednesday) and found it to be a very nice park. We mostly stayed in Thomas Land as my youngest is under 1m tall and couldn’t do any of the ‘family rides’ except the Viking horsey ride. Overall enjoyed the park, we stayed in the hotel and my goodness that was a mistake, won’t be staying there again!

Hi! what day in the week do you think would be the best to go to thorpe park this summer holiday.

The theme song is already pissing me off more than the smiler's

Nice that you got an annual pass.

What are the benefits you get as a AP holder I checked the website but couldn't find any listings for AP benefits

When you at funland

I went to this event and I thought it was fantastic! Scariest mazes I’ve ever been in! My favourite maze was vita nova. That maze really reminded me of survival games at Thorpe park fright nights. It also reminded me of The Asylum and Containment that were also at fright nights. I never did those mazes but I’ve heard about what happens in them. I think vita nova was one of the most fun scare mazes I’ve ever done and I think it’s my 3rd favourite scare maze I’ve ever done followed by Survival Games as my 2nd favourite ever and Walsall Scare Maze Christmassacre 2022 as my favourite maze ever. X4:Blackout was probably the scariest and The Core was the most unique.

Can you do a newer version of this I love the history of funland

Its taller irl

it feels so unsafe i came out of my sear

Scare attractions in july wow

I havent been to Drayton in so many years and now knowing there's lift and launch coaster... I have to go and visit again. I've been on every new coaster in 2024 now to ride this insane coaster!! Good on Drayton for improving the park and changing in a way 🙌🤞

Love icon Blackpool double launch coster I wonder how the wagon get in the park have u been on icon before in Blackpool and infusion it's a headbanger a vercoma slc did u look around icon before it opened and hiperia and nemeses reborn and the big one ect

It's going to be a little cracker❤

Going 27th, hyped af

Another fine looking coaster you have shown us there Adam 👍

In regards to the height restriction it’s 1 metre to ride accompanied but how tall do you need to be to ride alone? This coaster looks amazing! Thanks for sharing your thoughts about it.

Anyone else remember little boats (maybe the ones approx 3 mins into the video) but I remember them being in the lake itself and there was a big green octopus, you’d inevitably get your boat stuck on a tentacle for half your time 😅 I’m certain it was Thorpe Park, as remember the dome. I’m a 1977 baby and I recall being quite young.

I went with my 5,9 and 12 year old cousins and the 5 year olds was the only fearless one im 14 and i was screaming

My mum went on it on a school trip to impress her coworkers😂 I would be too scared but she said it was 30 seconds of hell😂😂

Really like those Super Troopers, went on one at Bottons Skegness and we were the only ones that weren't sick during or after the ride, it was just look forward at all times 😂 good to see you both down the local...
