Bubbleworks POV @ Chessington World of Adventures

This ride is my absolute childhood, must have been on this ride at least 10 times as a child

Of all man made creations in the world, this is one thing that should have existed eternity. The Bubbleworks was the greatest ride ever and when we went on school trip, "PLEASE keep your hands out of the water"

Bring it back Chessington! That ride was a legend!

[@TheoMarsh932]

Can't believe they replaced it with a dumb gruffalo ride

I Hate how an ip is replacing this classic. Its an absolutely amazing ride that always had theming and made an immersive experience.

They shouldnt have replaced it

[@louiswright8282]

@@oreosandlemons I say we just say it in Chessingtons social media's, though don't spam. If they get to recognise how special and good this attraction once was, maybe after they lose their license to the Gruffalo, they could bring it back to its original glory.

Bring back the bubble works I like it more than the other thing they have now. My childhood memories are all that ride 💆🏻‍♀️

[@ukridesinfo]

I've yet to ride or see a POV of Gruffalo, but I was most fond of the original fizzy drink theme.

[@theaubreycoxytpsandunivers7274]

Bring back the real Bubbleworks!

[@Poppehh]

Oh my god, I didn't know the name of this ride for so long. I always had this hazy memory of bright colours and bubbles. I used to go on this always when I was 3, my mum was getting a bit sick of me lol.

[@5exiChick]

Absolutely loved soaking my mates on this! This was such magical ride! RIP 💫

[@ukridesinfo]

"Please keep your arms and legs inside the boat"!! We never listened either Laura! lol I remember once a water fight with us and the boat behind, but then we got stuck on the lift, they were still at the bottom throwing water at us but we didn't have any water to throw back, drenched!!!

[@MrOrcshaman]

I loved this ride, has such imagination to it. Sad its gone and replaced with the gruffalo

[@BenjyDale]

Haven't been to Chessington, so thanks for sharing :-) Love the room with the water/light show, and the changing styles in the music.

[@ukridesinfo]

Yeah, the colourful fountain finale was the highlight of this... you didn't miss too much as far as rides go though BenG!

[@davidjellis]

It's a cute ride - shame it has closed now

[@coolcattigger]

Its reopened as the gruffalo story ride

Mother said I was too young to ride it. I’M 34, MOTHER !!

[@Beansaucer]

Bubbleworks used to be the highlight of my chessington trips. Going in a few months hopefully and boy do I miss this ride. The gruffalo does it hardly any justice, but I’m glad they didn’t fully destroy it. R.I.P bubbleworks.

[@KenHarn2019]

brings back the sweet memories!!!

[@torimai1950]

My Favourite... miss this❤ 2010.. my father took me!!

[@animalsgalore360]

This was my favourite ride when I went to Chessignton it was my mum's favourite ride when she first went and my dad told me the story of how they kissed on this ride. It is a part of my life and I'm sad it's gone

[@ukridesinfo]

Aww. Hi Florence, you'll have to ask your Mum and Dad if it was the pop factory or the soap factory?!

Childhood memories come flooding back.

[@coasterbot]

Hi, I'm making a video about Disney's love hate relationship with European theme parks. I was wondering whether I would be able to use a few short clips from this video in the one I'm making? I'd be more than happy to credit you at the end of the video and link to your video in the description. Many thanks, Harry

[@bettyewens1247]

i hope all of this is kept in storage and that if they ever change the gruffalo, they bring Bubble Works back, we can only dream

[@louiswright8282]

Most of the rides props were auctioned off to Fans, and the sets are still there, but boarded up behind walls where all the Gruffalo props are now.

[@catguy4996]

I can't believe they closed this ride of permanently. I just can't

Me too my best ride

@@parryhotter7250 I know right?! That ride was so uncreative, unlike this ride!

[@FusedAirOnYT]

WHY DID THEY REMOVE IT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MEMORY LANE FOR ME.

[@ukridesinfo]

'Marketing'!! Cheaper to re-theme an old ride than build a new one!

[@madegaming9587]

One of the most loved rides. Sad to see it go. But can't wait to see what's in store for the new ride

[@SmeadsUK]

One of the worst decisions Chessington ever made replacing this ride with the Gruffalo ride.

[@ukridesinfo]

Agreed John! Although I wasn't even keen on the soap factory re-theme from the fizzy pop original!

[@coolcattigger]

I remember the last time I went on this before it became the gruffalo - after we went down the slide into the fountain room, it must have been a faulty tub because as we splashed into the water, the tub started filling up with water; how it kept going until the end, I’ll never know but we did end up with not only soggy feet but the bottom of our legs wet 😂

I think I rode in that boat to!! Yes, same happened to us... lol

For me, the original fizzy drink factory had already been tampered with when they changed it to the soap factory with the sponsorship. I'm yet to ride it as Gruffalo though.
